| while lifting his long, unwiedy legs above the
| short blades of grass, and wondered for what
uses and purposes this ugly little monster was
placed upon this beautiful globe.
While attentively watching the motions of
one of these insects during our walk we were
much surprised TO see the object of our atten-
ton suddenly stop short in its wanderings and
raise itself up to its full height, as though
watching the coming of some unwelcome Wis
itor. We at first supposed that it just espied
us and was expecting danger from our hands
but upon our retreating few steps he quickly
crouched behind a tutt of dry grass, and re-
naming very quiet, seemed to make himself
as small as possible. A slight buzzing was
heard in the air. and in moment a wasp
passed quickly near, lowering on the wing
over his trembling VICTIM the much dreaded
tarantula Like some bird of prey, the wasp
remained poised oment, and then, quick as
thought, darted down upon his enemy and
stung him many times with great rapidity.
The tarantula, smarting under the pain, began
a retreat with all the speed Of which he was
capable; but the wasphung over him with re-
vengeful tenacity, and again and again struck
HIM with his venomous sting. Gradually the
flight of the tarantula became slower and more
irregular, and at length, under the repeated
thrusts of his conquerer, he died, biting the
grass with his terrible 1angs The WASH now
seized his enemy and commenced dragging
him away, with what intent we could not as
business called us thence, at that time dis
cover.
The wasp, whose attacks upon the tarantuIa
are so fatal, has long, slim, glossy black
body, yellow wings, and is armed with very
sharp, long thorn-like sting, which may be
seen protruding as it flies. 1t fears not the
presence of man or beast when in pursuit of
his enemy.-Ma1posa lCaL.l Democrat

SERIOUS FIRE IN NoRTHAMPToN-Burn
Of The Clark Paper MW.-The most destructive
fire that has occurred at Northampton in many
years, broke out about four 0 oclock on Monday
morning in the rag room OF the Eagle PAPER
Mill owned by William Clark Co., situated
on Mill river, mile west of the village, re-
sultlng III the destruction of nearly all of the
building, the stock on hand, and about all of
the manufactured paper. The building was
OF brick and wood, and the small portion left
standing is so badly damaged that it will have
to be removed. The water wheel, engine,
and boiler, were not damaged, and were the
only portion Of the mill that escaped injury.
Several hundred dollars worth of paper was
taken out of the mill while it was burning. but
all that was saved is in a damaged state.
The mill and stock was insured for SAL 600,
which will probably about cover the loss.
The origin Of the fire is still a mystery. 1t
might have been the result of spontaneous
combustion. The mill was heated by steam,
and no fire was used in the building. A night
watch has for some years been Kept in the
mill, and about o clock in the morning the
Waterman passed through the rag.room, where
the fire originated, without a light as was his
custom, and no signs Of fire were then visible.
| When first discovered, it was about 4 O'clock.
and it had made considerable progress.
| During the fire portion of the brick walls
fell, and severely, though not seriously injured
