CURIOUS FLIGHT OF INSECTS correspond
ent of the Cumberland Ind.) Telegraph. writing
from Fetterman; under date of the Sd inst, says:
"Our town was visited last night with food
of insects, somewhat similar in appearance to the
miller fly. They appeared instantly, and rooms,
wherever lights were burning, were filled with
them and such putting down of windows and
shutting of doors was never known in this region
before. Some rushing to the streets with candles
in hand, were literally compelled to drop them
and vamose as they would from swarm of bees.
One gentleman sat his lamp in the street, and in
about five minutes they were lying on the ground
servation it was discovered that wherever they
alighted, they deposited two eggs and in few
minutes afterwards expired. Within ten minutes
after it was first discovered that their numbers
were decreasing, they ceased coming entirely"

Death and Hope.

That leaves the greenest will decay,
And flowers the brightest fade away,
When autumn winds dre sweeping
And be the household ere so fair.
The hand of death will enter there,
And turn the scene to weeping.
Yet leaves again will c'othe the trees,
And lilies wave beneath the breeze,
When spring comes smiling hither,
And friends who parted at the tomb,
May yet renew their loveliest bloom.
