HOW HUBER DISCOVERED
THE MARAUDING HABITS
OF ANTS.

He was walking in the environs OF
Geneva, between four and five o'clock
in the evening, when he saw regi-
ment of great red ants cross the road.
They marched in good order, with a
front of three or four inches, and il a
column eight or ten feet long. Huber
followed them, crossed hedge with
them, and found himself in meadow
The high grass plainly hindered the
march of the army,yet it did not dis
band; it had its object, and it reached
it. This was the nest OF another spe-
cies of ants, blackish-gray ones, were
scattered about the hill; as soon as
these perceived the enemy, they dart.
ed upon the strangers, while others
hurry into the galleries, to give the
alarm. The besieged ants came out
in a body. The assaiIants dash upon
them, and, after very short but very
spirited struggle, drive The black
gray ones back to the bottom of their
holes. One army corps, presses after
them into the galleries, while other
groups labor to make themselves an
opening with their teeth into the lat
eral parts of the hill They succeed,
and the remainder of the troop makes
it's way into the besieged city by the
breach. Peter Huber had seen bat
ties and eXterminations of ants before
this; he supposed they were slaugh-
tering each other III the depths of the
caverns. What was his amazement,
after three or four minutes, when he
saw the assailants issue hurriedly
forth again, each holding between its
mandibles larva or a ny mpha Of tho
conquered tribe! The aggresSors
took exactly the same road again by
which they bad como, passed through
the hedge, crossed the road at Tho
same place, and made their way, still
loaded with their prey, toward "a ftld

POLICE CoURT.-The session Of the
police court, held by Judge Rogers
yesterday morning, was not as numer-
ously attended as is customary. Either
the entertainment was less varied and
attractive than usual or the boys had
oversight themselves, for the parquette
was only half full, and the family circle
was empty.
James Mattock and John De Schan
appeared in their great specially, 1.-THE
old mans drunk again" The first was
found by officer Warnig, in the Sixth
ward, unable to take care OF himself.
And the second, who fancied himself to
be Stonewall jackson, was peeping over
his breast-works, and making ready to
charge on the Second Ward Market
House, when Officer jenkins thanked
him and took him prisoner. This being
their second or third appearance this
season, Mattock got S. and costs, and
De Schau $40 and costs, or thirty days.
Louis Iingamen, charged with selling
liquor on Sunday. $40 and costs.
Louis Travis and Frank Coyle, who
gave a little sparring exhibition on
Saturday night, were not ready for q
hearing, and their cases were continued
uatil this morning.

CHlLpRENs' HONE ANNIVERsARY.-
The third Anniversary OF the Home,
will be held on Saturday evening next,
at the Fourth street N. E Church.
The exercises on th ese occasions have
always attracted large audiences, on
account of the interesting exhibition
and singing Of the children. We learn
that the attractions will be greater than
ever in this way.
Rev. NJ. Chedlaw. of Cincinnati, who
has had much experience and success
in the conduct of such institutions as
the Home, will deliver an address, and
We are confident his remarks will
greatly interest all who have the inter
ests of humanity at heart, Lett the
house be crowded.

puted. Many business letters business

A NEED SUppLIED.-Yesterday we
strolled through the new stock and
drove yards of Mr.. Ed. Christman on
Market square, End Ward, and where
agreeably surprised at the extensions
and Improvements made recently for the
accommodation of all descriptions OF
stock.
He has in fact established, on a
sound footing what our butchers, drov'
ers and others long needed, general
head quarters for caring, selling and
disposing Of live stock. The yards
are six in number and convenienl
thereto is q new Fairbank scales which
Las been erected for weighing stock.
His stabling for horses is large and
comfortable, having capacity for 10
head OF horses. Mr.. G. shows that he
understands the want OF just such a
place as he has put up, and 1t is but
right that his enterprise should be ap-
preciated and patronized by those
whose benefit it is for. Hereafter,
farmers, drovers and ell dealers in cat
tie, horses, hogs and sheep should re-
member that the Christman drove and
stock yard is the only place OF the
kind in the city where all conveniences
for transacting business are to be had
The best board and lodging is also
furnished by the Christman Hotel at
the most liberal prices.

OpD FELLOWS ExcuRsIoN.-The ex-
cursion Of the delegation Of Wheeling
Odd Fellows and their wives, to Steu-
benville. yesterday. was a very jolly
affair. Some sixty or seventy, accom-
panied by Vaas' Brass Band, went up
on the train leaving Bridgeport at six
o'clock inIthe morning aud others fol-
lowed up on the noon train, who, to-
gether with delegations from Martins
Ferry, Portland, Wellsburg and other
points, made very handsome display,
by themselves filling three or four extra
cars.
The ardor of the visitors was damp
ened considerably by the rain that fell
up to about eleven o'clock, but after.
wards the clouds passed away and the
sun shone out beautifully, making as
delightful a day as the heart OF man
could wish. The occasion of the gath
ering was the dedication Of the new
Odd Fellows Hall just built by the
fraternity in that city.
The hall or meeting room is seventy
two by thirty-three fee! exclusive OF an
tie rooms, closets and the like. tits one
the most beautiful lodge rooms in Ohio,
and is most creditable to the energetic,
earnest and liberal Odd Fellows OF
Steubenville. 1t was designed and
built by A. J. Fickes On the first or
ground floor is the postoffice; on the
second the Young Mer's Christian AS

Atone o'clock the procession was
formed, and marched through the prin-
cipal streets, headed by the Steubenville
Band and Vaas' Brass Band, the rich
regalia, waving flags and white BAN
uers OF the order attracting universal
attention. The procession was halted
in front of the new hall and witnessed
the unwilling OF the statue of charity.
The Odd Fellows were then marched to
the Fifth street Methodist Church,
where an grafton was delivered by Rev.
]. C. Sedgwick, who, in a very able
Al d lucid manner, set forth and defend

proceeded to the hall, where the pre-

The whole affair was pleasant and
agreeable. The citizens OF Steubenville
keep open house" and were most gen.
eroue in dispensing their hospitality to
all the strangers present. Most Of the
Wheeling delegation returned home
last evening delighted with their trip
| and pro'use in their prase OF Steuben,
vile hospitality.
