EAR-wlo W.. CoDkRoAcH.-We sa " q
singular thing last night-so singular,
we have thought il worth mentioning.
I, was fight between Cockro ach and
an insect known as the Ear wig, or by
some, "Hundred Legs" They were
well matched in sizc, and the fight
sprung out OF a collision between the
two (; while each was going his own
way, they Happened 10 run against each
other, and a battle OF some minute and
hali's duration, was the consequence
The roach, instead OF gong in head
lormost, wheeled around and backed up
to his opponent. They clinched, the
roach, spun round and round, trying to
free himself from the numerous legs of
his enemy, every one Of which was
brought into play, and he at last sue
ceeded in getting loose, which he no
sooner did, than he flew off, leaving his
enemy master of the field. Whe lher
these insects are natural enemies or 10,
we are not En,omologist enough to say.
Any enemy Of cockroaches, however,
is the friend Of man, ami if ear-wgs
will keep up such a war, they will take
a better position in public estimation
than they have ever done bclore.-Sa-

Why He DID Fit is stated that Mr..
Gray, who committed suicide at New
ochelle, was the husband Of two
wives, having lett his first one in Cali
lornia, and married a daughter Of S B.
French, o. Fauquier county Virginia.
His first wife lately arrived IN New
York, and threatened to prosecute him
lor bigamy. The Washington News
states tina, in contracting his second
marriage, he supposed his former mat
rimoma Obligations were oblilera'ed by
the action Of the law, and that he was
at liberty 10 marry ngain. Distress Of
mind OF finding himself in such s,ua-
,icn, is supposed to have driven him to
the desperate deed. [Springfeld Post.
