We have had several accounts recently of deaths
having occurred from the sting of locusts. asked
the opinion Of DIR. c. Il. Smith on this subject. He
contends that it must be mistake, and adheres 10
the commonly received opinion that these mysteri-
insects entirely free from poison, and harm
less. The Doctor has paid much attention 10 the
history and nature of locusts, but, there is no
necessity for handling them, persons-children es-
pecially--should be guarded against them.
