\ Phenomenon.

Vast swarms cf insects have recently
settled upon some parts Of tins city, as Il
coming up from lhe lake. How far they
extend into tie country we have not lear
ned. They appear to be OF various spe-
cies Of moths and miI.ers. One variety
have four light brown wings, six small
legs ana two long, smooth anlcnu, with a
small round head; another yali,lv are
black, with antcGG comparable 10 ostrich
feathers, but shorter wings than the oh
erS; another variety have triangular wings,
rising q! ~ angle % 60 degrees from the
back, with long legs and horns, and, like
the Ottoman Pasha, carrying two tails.
Thus far they seem harmless, committing
no dePyedalions. During the heat o. the
day they aight in masses in the tops Of
trees Oron buildings, and towards evening
rise and fly with an undua,iug motion,
but in such countless sUarms as to appear
al distance like large volumes of smoke,
moving in the wind. They maintain tie
position chosen for their play, and for
hours Fly up and down with Slow mo-
ton, without moving rod from their
starting point, What are they, where did
shey come from, or what is their destiny,
who can tell They fly with very lille
noise and are greediy dcyoured .; birds
and all sorts Of barnyard fowls. lYha,ev-
er they may be designed for, they are be-
coming very loa!hsome ANNOYANCE in

glowing description Of the country. lie

the bill for the relief of the heirs of Daniel
Bedinger, Decd, was on Saturday last.
through the interchangeable efforts and high
business attainment Of our representa-.

passed by the committee Of tbe whole.
This Is IN practice equivalent to Iispassage
by he House Of Representatives.
This is an Old claim dating as lar back
as 1882, from which limru bears interest,
and is justly due to the Dcdiuger heirs for
the revolutionary services Of their ancestor.
The claim now amounts to near 10000
dollars and we harlIly congratulate them
upon the probability OF the recovery Of
this just demand.
Many OF our readers are aware that the
