The alarming prevalence of mosquitoes in
this city will enable our readers to appreciate
the following account Of combat with them:
"'Ehe physical powers of mosquitoes are IN
usually vigorous this season, considering the tact
that they are up so much at nights. With the
single exception of retiring late their other hab
it's are regular. They have peculiar system Of
gymnastics that gives sturdy development to
their muscles, and using their voices a good
deal in festive chorus, has the effect to strength
then their lungs and ward off any tendency to
pulmonary complaint. They sat up with us
last night IN strong force, and attacked us in
single companies and in battalions. While our
attention was diverted by brisk skirmishing
party on our right, the enemy had massed on
our left, and made SO sudden and we'll directed
an attack, that we were driven half out OF bed.
Taking advantage of lull in hostiitles, during
which the enemy seemed to be holding con-
sutation of war, we crawed stealthily out OF
bed, leaving the mosquitoes beneath the bar,
and took to the sofa. They missed us very
soon and sent out scout who was not long
ascertaing our whereabouts and reporting, when
the whole force charged upon us with VIC
lence that was increased by rage at our momen-
tary escape So the contest ragged all night,
fighting from the bed to the sofa, and from
the sofa to the bed Our loss was a pint OF
blood and total loss of sleep. Loss Of the
enemy not known. They were several hours
in burying their dead, however. "We could
not pass such another night tho 'tWere to buy
world Of happy days.
