AN chronological WoNDER,-A
South Sunapee On, II. ) correspondent of
the Manchester Mirror relates that on
the afternoon of the 2Sth ult as Mr..
Asahel Lear and Mr.. c. A. Maxfeld
were going to their work they observed a
cloud of singular looking insects in the
air. Their wings came of, and they
fell to the ground in such numbers as to
completely cover it. Soon as they fell
they began to dig holes in the ground
and disappear. Their wings looked like
scales, and blew like dust before the
wind. The insect resembles the ant in
some respects. Its body was divided in.
to three parts, its head, its corslet, which
was very small and round, and its abdo-
men, which was as broad as long, and
altogether larger than the ant. They
possessed great strength, digging into
the hard earth and removing pebbles
several times their size with astonishing
rapidity. Their bite was poisonous.
Numbers of people who saw them never
witnessed the like before.

The republicans Of the State Of New
York, have a splendid opportunity for a
triumph this fall, and talk much about
harmony among themselves, but as yet
there is anything but harmony among
them, especially in the city. The repub-
lican people of the Empire State, would
do well to rise once more in their males
ty and bury the clans so deep that the
resurrection trumpet will not reach them,
and thus give their State and the coun-
try brilliant victory.

SHEEP LOOKING UP.-A correspond
ent of the Rutland Herald, says that
considerable excitement prevails in Ad-
olson County among sheep buyers who are
buying large lots ofsheep, at a price large
ly in advance of what they were sold at
twelve months since. Sheep that would
then command only about two dollars
per head, now readily sell for from ten to
fifteen dollars. Several hocks have been
shipped West. Twenty sheep of fine quail
ity were sold last week for twenty dol
lars per head, and the man who bought
them could havesold them for twenty We
dollars per head within a few hours.
While sheep are thus going up, beef cat
tie are going down. Several farmers
have told me that they could not sell at
all. The butchers appear not to have
found out this fact, or least l Judge so
from the fact that they ask so high prices
for meat yet. But there is, | hope,
good time coming for the poor man, when
it will not take days work in value to
procure six or eight pounds of beefsteak
for his family.

A large meeting was held in New
York city on Monday evening, of the
citizens and tax payers in relation to the
frauds of the city government, in which
the Tammany leaders were arraigned, an
investigation demanded, and citizens were
urged to unite in the next election and
elect honest men to office without regard
to the present political parties. The
meeting was called irrespective of party,
but very few of the leading democrats OF
the city appear to have been present, aud
it remains to be seen how much will be
done toward redeeming New York from
the most enormous frauds that ever dis
graced any kind of government.

A HURRICANE OF SToNEs.-In Ia

accommodating in great masses in the west;
five A. M. struck, when dull yet fright
full sound was heard far off to the west
ward. A minute afterward the storm
broke IN an awful form. 1t began with
a sound like the discharge of heavy ar.
tillery. with lightning. The Pampero
wind swept over with unusual violence
and fury bringing with it cloud of
stones, such as never had been seen be-
fore. These stones, as big as goose eggs,
fell everywhere, very few being as small
as that of a pigeon. Houses, huts and
roofs of all sorts suffered terribly; some
were knocked over, others unroofed,
and all injured. Not pane of glass or
a public lamp survived unbroken, and
many were carried to a great distance by
the force of the wind. Buildings ex-
posed to the fury of the blast looked as
if a rifle corps had been doing their best
against them. Many animals were re-
ported killed, and one woman and child

HORRIBLE AcoIDENT.-Th Ogdens.
burg Journal gives an item, which illus
trates the oft told folly of jumping from
trains in motion. Charles Breed, Depu-
ty Sheriff, Oswego county, placed his
wife and children aboard an excursion
train for the Oneida Community.
Wednesday; when he was ready to leave
them the cars had got under motion.
He jumped from the train, and fell upon
his face, which ploughed into the gravel
and stones by the track When picked
up, his nose was completely torn from
his face, his lips split wide open. his
eyes apparently gouged from his head,
and his face otherwise terribly lacerated
and if he RECEIVERS he will retain but lit
tie resemblance of his former self. The
train stopped, and his wife and children
returned home with him, agonized by
the terrible occurrence.

AN AUTOMATIC PASSION PLAY.-Two
Germans at Port Schuyler, N. Y. are en-
gagged in an automatic wonder which
will eclipse anything ever yet produced
in that line. They have been at work
upon it now nearly an entire year, and
they expect to have it done in about six
months. 1t will occupy a stage nearly
twenty-five feet square, and some idea of
Its immensely and intricacy may be con-
ceived, when we say that there will be
nearly five thousand figures, most of
them movable, connected with the ma
chine. We ourselves would say that the
conception is too vast to be carried out.
but the two builders say that they have
the plans fully formed, and that there
is no doubt whatever of the perfect
working of the machine All the prin-
eipal scenes of the old and new testa-
ment will be represented in it-such as
Noah and the ark, the building of the
tower of Babel, Abraham offering sac
rifice, Moses bringing Israel out of
Egypt, Israel passing through the Red
Sea, the drowning of Pharaoh, Samson's
death, Elijah fed by ravens, the birth
of Christ, raising the dead to life, Jesus
walking on the sea, washing the disci-
pies feet, the crucifxion, resurrection.
and many others. In respect to the BIZ
BILE, it will be almost reproduction of
the scenes there described, and as an adj
junct of Sunday school work, almost in
valuable. All the great battles, naval
engagements, sieges and assaults of pro-
fame history are to be represented, and
many other curious scenes depicted

Good Words.

Senator Schurz in recent speech at
Chicago, gave some excellent advice to
the Germans, which applies with equal
force to naturalized foreigners of other
nations: Nothing" be said, ''could
be further from me than the idea of
a separate political organization of the
the Germans in this republic Here
we are American citizens, neither more
nor less; German pride should inspire us
here only to the determination to be
counted among the best of American cit
liens. We have no separate interests
here, and we should have no separate
aims. Our interests are no other than
those of all, and our aims should be no
other than those of the public welfare"
How beautifully these manly words con-
trast with the frothy fulminations we oft
en- hear from the Stump" in unpatriotic
if not wicked appeals to the prejudices
and passions of our foreign population.
