Potato Bugs ON the Wing.

The Painesville Telegraph reports
the following, from information re-
ceived from a Chardon gentleman
"A singular phenomenon in the potato
bug line was witnessed at Chardon, on
Thursday afternoon Of last week
Shortly after o'clock a cloud Of
potato bugs on the wing entered and
passed through the town, coming from
the east, and flying directly west. At
first they were taken for swarm of
bees, but some of them falling to the
ground, their character was soon de-
termined. The first swarm was soon
followed by a second, third, and
fourth, and so on for the space of
an hour and half, much to the as,
tonishment of all who beheld. They
were estimated at tens of thousands,
reminding those who witnessed of the
Bible accounts of the locusts in the
days OF Pharoah. No one was able
to solve the mystery OF their coming
or going, but all were glad that they
did not pitch their tents on the potato
hills of Chardon. Perhaps they are
returning to Colorado to renew their
citizenship and take a new start to-
wards the rising sun"

We have talked with several OF cur ieaf-
