FLIEs.-On Monday evening the air in
this village was filled with millions of small
flies or gnats, resembling very small winged
ants, and wherever a lamp was accessible to
them. they lowered around it, on it and into
the blaze in such swarms that the wick and
surface of the lamp, being oily and adhcsv:
were literally covered with them The al
holes of solar lamps, becoming filled with
them, began to smoke, and it was found nee
essarv to close the windows and doors against
these Egyptian intrudcrs. While in such
countless mvriads here. the operator in our
telegraph Office inquired of Montpelier, 80
miles distant north. if he had the visitors
there. and he replied that he had not. On
Tuesday evening when the air here was en-
tlrcly free of them, Montpelier called our op-
orator, and complained that the flies were
there by millions. Whence they came and
whittier going. we leave to fly-olosi>ts to de-
eide.
Our operator while replying to Montrcl-
Ter. noticed by his KEY momentarv inter
rnptlon of the current, which MONTPELIER cx-
planned by saying that one of the unhddcn
visitors IN his cagerncss to get the latest news,
lit upon the paper on his disc and was brouoht
round directly under the pen. where he found
the news too S,oching for his further existence.
