STRANGE Issrcrs-we are informed, by a lady resident Of
Santa Cruz, that r'ceutiy, on going into the rooms Of the second
story OF her residence, she found The carpets all cut to pieces
a u 10y moth. On examination, she found that nyriahs OF
small winged ants had taken their abode in the ceilings Of the
chambers, aud had caused The destruction Of the CARPETS, Tor
the purpose Of dep"sting their eggs in the fabric. The insects
were never before seen in this Ioc'I'y, and it is nIaooountahle

some other plan for spanning the river.

some Oregon papers from an old apprentice of
ours, and wished him every success in his editorial
labors. We reiterate this, but will add that we
certainly hope that it may be in supporting other
political interests, however.
