which tiny fly will exhibit in his warfare upon

and locust The latter had fallen upon his more

they both fell to the ground the force of the fall not
being sufficient 10 detach the locust from the grasp
which he held upon his victim. The gentleman with

however, though deprived OF his head, still retained,
apparently, his sensiblity. His feet moved and he
casped his legs together closely as if still fighting
with the hornet, and he continued to DO so for six
