Il or INSECTS AND
ANIMALS.
lFrom the :Sciantiic Americana

Our notice was lately attracte,
to the labors Of colony Of SINAI
black ants, which has taken up it
abode in q chink in the wall outsid
our window. A solitary ant, evi
IDENTITY on a private foragiB expedi
ton, suddenly encountered a scra1
of bread, which had fallen on til,
sill several feet from bis home. In
stead of nipping off a fragment and
carrying it away, the insect appa.
rently made q careful examination
OF the entire piece and then turned
and ran at. full speed back to the
hole.i In on instant hundreds oil
ants emerged and marched. directly
to the bread, which they attacked,
and very speedily morse' by morsel,
transported it to their dwelling. !
Anbther good instance is that ola
terrier dog belonging to a friend,
from whom we obtained the facts.
The animal somehow, i! seems, ex-
cited the ire Of a larger dog, aud
accordingly received an unmerciful
shaking: Shortly afterward the ter
rier was seen in close consultation
with a huge Newfoundland. The
result was that both trotted off to-
gether, and found the terriers assail-
ant which then and there received
a furious thrashing from the New
foundland, while the terrier stood
by and waggged his tail inhigh glee.
The last case which: came under
our own observation was that of a
broodof very young chickens which,
losing their parent. r refused to go
another hen but manifested an
nary affection tor a pair of
turkeys almost as juvenile as them
The. turkeys nave assumed
III the parental functions, scratch
ng worms for their chbrgss, aand
them under wings, while
he chickens appear to comprehend
he significance Of the turkeys
s peep equally as well as they did
he clucking of their natural mother.
In the case OF the ants it is clear
hat the single insect must have i'm
'arted thenews OF his discovery to
n entire community Of his fellows;
4 that Of the dogs, the terrier must
ave made the Newfoundland I'M {
erstand the circumstances of his
and so secured sympathy
nd assistance; lastly, between thef
dickens and turkeys, apart from =
1ye singularity Of the relation, it is !
to remark that the language )
one fowl was understood by {
different species O.: : 10

ring the passage Of the Irish Lane
Bill? The honorable knight was
making a speech against something
or other, when there occurred to
him, by way Of illustration, a story
about a boy who had q grand
mother: The narrative was rather
OF a melancholy cast, and, the
grandmother appearing in its re-
cital with comical iteration, the
House began to laugh at the exceed
ing dolor of the tone in which the
word was pronounced. At every
fresh introduction of "the grand
mother" the merriment increased.
and at last Sir John, standing in
dignant amid the idle mirth, called
out in stentorian: tones, "Sir haven't
boys grandmothers? ?" The
hereupon became bolster
GUS; but the honorable knight had
made n his point, and suggested, to
the' confusion Of the oppressor, one
boint at least upon which the Celt
stood ON a common footing with
