that they keep hogs squealing, the dogs
barking, and the fowls cackling all night
Why, really, this description of these
"winged monsters" almost equals that CIV
en- by DIR. Heustis, in his topography Of
Louisiana. In his remarks about them, he
says,-"blood is the cry (; nothing but blood
the cry ;nothing but blood can quench their
thirst and satisfy their sanguinary sppettes.
Compared with them, the mosquitoes of the
Northern States are mere gnats. Furnish
ed with bill like iron, they perforate the
toughest hide, ana drink the crimson
stream of man ana beast"

The old and highly respectable establish
ment, of the Boston Commercial Gazette,
has been purchased of the former proprie-
tor, by Messrs. William Beals and James
l.. Holmer, gentlemen whose industry and
business talents are we'll known and appre-
ciated. Alden Bradford, Esq, formerly Sc
cretary of Massachusetts,, is engaged as
Editor, and the paper will doubtless sustain
the reputation it has heretofore maintained.

The President of the United States has
officially recognized .4chiIe EiiE George
Esq. as Vice Consul Of His Majesty the
King Of Sardinia for the Port of Mobile,
in the state Of Alabama.
The following order has been issued
from the War Department. June 80, 1896,
and similar one has proceeded from the
Secretary of the Navy.
1t has become the painful duty of the Sc
cretary of War to announce to the Army
the death ofanother distinguished and ven
Grated citizen, JoHN ADAMS departed this
life on the 4th of this month. Like his
compatriot JEFFERSON, he aided in drawing
and ably supporting the Declaration OF In
dependence. With a prophetic eye, he
looked through the impending difficulties
of the Revolution, and foretold with what
demonstrations Of Joy the Anniversary OF
the birth day of American freedom would
be hailed. He was permitted to behold
the veriication of his prophesy, and died,
as did JEFFERSON, OH the day Of the Jubl-
lee.
A coincidence of circumstances so won
derful, gives confidence to the belief that
the patriotic efforts OF these ilustrious
men were Heaven directed, and furnishes
new seal, to the hope, that the prosperi-
ty of these States is under the special pro-
lection of a kind Providence.
The Secretary of War directs that the
same funeral honors be paid by the Army
to the memory ofthe deceased as by the or
der Of the 9TH instant were directed to be
paid to THOMAS JEFFERSON, and the same
token Of mourning be worn.
