REBEIs IN BEDF0ED.-A dispatch from
Bedford, Pa, reads as follows:
There IS great excitement at this place
about the impeachment, and several com
panies are being rapidly organized TO support,
the President. Capt 7. Il. Lyons has al
ready fifty men on bis list, and at last three
companies can be raised in forty eight hours.
We would ike to see how many Of the
names here enrolIea are on the petitions to
the Legislature to reimburse them for DANA
ges done by their rebel friends under Gen.
Early. They propose now to march to the
aid Of the men who burned Chambersburg and
ravaged the country for which the State
treasury had to pay. The community should
preserve the names ofthese volunteer traitors
FOR future reference. They may be valuable
in hunting out future enemies ofthe country.

&c, to accumulate on the street and pave.

of business, to the annoyance Of their neigh

fuse which would necessarily be carried oG
with melting snow and ice is forced upon the
pavement and into the cellars, thereby max

know of one instance wherein nuisance,

the smallest town in the county has been
allowed to pass unnoticed during the whole
winter, much to the endaugering Of life and

HISTORY OF THE LoCUsT.-What are called
the seventeen year locusts are denominated by
naturalists the harvest fly" They rise from
the ground every seventeen years, but not uni
formly all over the United States in the same
year. On the contrary, in some districts they
come up within a year or two alter they have
risen in districts adjoining. When the harvest
flies rise from the ground they are very weak,
but soon gaining strength they crawl up
neiphboring trees The female has an ,appa-
ratus sharp aud strong, called piercer. With
this she bores into tender twigs and lays about
sixteen Of her eggs in the aperture, when it is
then sufficiently closed to preserve the eggs
After depositipg, about five hundred eggs the
female becomes exhausted, falls to the ground
and dies. The eggs are hatched by the heat
of the sun in from three to six weeks Nhe
twigs pierced blythe female harvest fly usually
wither and fall to the ground, where the grub
is allowed a chance to perform its functions. 1t
is about a sixteenth of an inch long, hairy,
and of a yellowish white color, having six
legs, the two first of which are strong, lobster
ike claws, and sucking tube and tongue IN
the breast They are very active, and at once
bury themselves in the ground, digging thelr
way along the roots of plants and trees, and
living upon their juices. Thus they are sus-
tanned during their long seclusion. Toward the
time that they should emerge they begin to ap-
proach the surface, gathering strength, asSum-
ing the papa or fly state For some time be-
fore they appear, the insects are within one or
two feet of the surface of the earth. T. They
come out usually on a warm night, and it is
quite remarkable that they have strength to
break through very serious obstacles. This
is shown about houses that have been built
within the seventeen years, and in such places
the ease with which the harvest flies work
through hard rolled and strong gravel paths is
surprising e- ., tsa

coon FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.

A coon fight is one Of tha glories Il
life in Kentucky. The programme is
this: Some one announces to the gentle.
men Of an extended neighborhood that
he will give barbecue and coon fight on
a certain day. at such place. and. they
are invited to bring themselves, their
friends and their dogs, for bis coon 10
veteran, and will make big fight This
brings large gathering Of men and dogs
to etjoy the feast and the fight 1b.
coon is placed in barrel with one head
out. laid fat. 50 that he cannot be taken
on the fsuk or rear. and the dog that
brings out the coon--and it takes one Of
pluck to do ths'--wins the bet.
Gu the occasion to be described, q large
party assembled with numerous fine dogs.
eager. for the fray. The sport began.
but every dog Of the party was whipped
out by the sharp teeth and claws Of the
gallant coon. AS matter Of couraa
there was noisy clamor and some tough
swearing at the result. There was seedy
Y.ukee present, looking on with grin Of
delight, as each defeated dog gave up the
battle. He had with him q miserable
yellow cur, which went sneaking about
with Its tail between its legs. swapping
aid shyiug at every dog that offered To-
keus of friendly intro duction.
In the midst Of the uproar, Ysukes
quietly remarked
"Wal, gentlemen, think | have got
a dog that will bring eout that 'eis co0n."
Where is he? Where is he Bring
him out" shouted o score Of witua ses.
"There be is = pointing to the misers-
BILE cur.
There was general laugh. and i,ume-
diate offers Of bets in any quantity.
Wal. gentlemen, l hain't got muck
money. but here's my watch aud threa
dollars. That ere watch is leetle old,
but it's an all fred nice timekeeper.
an bet you ten dollars against your
watch and the money"
"Wal. guess that's about fair; I'll Dc
liz" iasaf
After great deal Of coaxing and pull
lag. the mongrel was hauled close to the
mouth Of the barrel. The Yankee, afte.
patting and calling bis dog pet names for
/, minute. suddenly seized him. and
thrust him into the barrel, stern frat.
The next instant, with an agonizcd yelp,
out came the dog-and out came the coon
too--fastened by tooth and claw to tbs
launches of the fleeing dog The screams
that followed may not be described.
Il guess III take that ere money sHd

and he took them.
