REMARKABLE PHENoXENoN-Iznmense. StoaT1ns
Of Strange Insects "a correspondent of the
N. Y. Post, writing from Poplar Ridge, n. Y,
under date of the I'd inst. says:
Yesterday, at about four o'clock P. H., the
atmosphere became suddenly filled with myriads
of insects of type entirely unknown in this
region, as far as can learn. The phenomenon
is known to have extended several miles, and
appears to have occurred at the same moment.
The insect is about one.fourth of an inch long,
and closely resembles the common ant But
the strangest part of the matter Chat is, to me-
remains to be told. AS soon as they appeared,
they began to alight upon whatever object they
came in contact with, and tn gire birth to young
insects ready aOinged, which in few seconds
assembled into the air, while the old ones threw
themselves into violent contortions, which con-
hnued until they succeeded in Tiddiug them
selves of their wings-after which they appear
ed to feel much relieved, and ran briskly about
upon the ground, as contented, apparently, as
though they had never possessed the power of
flight. In an hour, the earth was alive with these
fallen insect,angels, aud strewn with their life
less wings-whie their tiny, newborn progeny,
had assembled, and were sporting in the beams
of the evening sun! This morning the parent
insects may be seen secreted among the grass,
or whatever offered protection for the night,
while the new generation appear dormant upon
the surface, awaiting the warming rays of the
rising sun.

The thermometer indicates n much cooler

the bodily comforts of those who are well and

in asweek. And still less could this be imagined
from the appearance of the streets and the
people, at least in :he central and upper part of
the city. There is more than the usual hustle
OF business and business preparations, and the
side walks are lined with pedestrians saunterine
