Curious Phenomenon.

On Sunday last. the fields in the vicinity of
Bladcnsburg presenteda ingularappearancc,
glancmg in the setting sun like seas OF silver
in restless. perpetual movement. twas soon
observed that the phenomenon extended
everywhere, all objects, trees, fences, even
ploughcd ground. being completely woven
over with exceedingly delicate spider web
Indeed, there is not a fencerail, post or tree,
between Bladcnsburg and Washington that
is not covered with it. What does it portend?
The earth has often been visited by hostile
swarms of insects: but is not this the first in
stance of the occurrence on large scale of
the antdotc? Are we to have no more mos
uutOes? Is the stock of the new cylinder fly
machine to fall beyond redemption.
Let The entomologiSts examine the spider
in question and tell Us first whether he will
bite and secondly if he'll grow amy bigger.
In either ease the ladies of the germs aracnne-
timentia will have 10 exile themselves forth
with To Siberia AZ far IL observed, the
spider is minute. dark brown with II black
stripe down the back violently opposed to
being caugh, but well behaved in alcohol
Since writing the above, we have been in
formed by Professor S, Of Washington
that the phenomenon is common at Bueno-
Ayres under the name of gossamer. The
spider. lying on his back, kicks out cloud, ot
this gossamer, which floats through the air
covering everything. even the hats OF travel
crs. with its silver sheen.
We learn that the same phenomenon was
ob,cn ed on Sunday at various points IN and
about this District Wash .Sdr.

Suicidal Mania in Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Times of Monday records
no less than four attempts ut self destruction
in that city, all of which took place within
the previous forty-cight hours. \ German
named Thomas Bodeman jumped into the
muddy waters of the Miami canal. but was
fiShcd out before drowning, by bystanders
Causc-poverty and failure to obtain employ
ment. DR.. JOS. Lithwinkle also plunged in
to the same canal. and was awful mad he
cause some Waterman who happended to be
in the vicinity, refused to let him die as the
fool dieth. 4 drunken lawyer named VIM
Pugh attempted 20 take his life by swallow
inc an ounce of laudanum but being dise"v-
cred the vial was forcibly taken from him
Finally, Joseph Lamphcr was found found
srinv u the canal, and taken 10 the station
house. lie i,aa b.an in his cell but few
minutes when he tied hdndk .nrchict around
his throat, the ends Of which he attached to
top bar, and then swung of. The hand
kerchief was insecureIy fastened and gave
way. and hence his second attempt to die
wa. ike the first failure.
