DIR. Cutter, of the microscopic socie-
ty, writes us as follows: "The APPEAL
local of yesterday is mistaken in rela-
ton to the female mosquitoes being the
biters that cause so much grief. The
bitists or common mosquitoes are neither
male nor female. Like the common
working bee, they are q SEXUAL. The
| male and female are scarce this season
| Of the year. They resemble each other
very much, the difference being miclo.
scopic; they are decked in gorgeous
| pIumage, and are very beautiful"
| Aud now our poetic delusion is gone,
for the male mosquito is our enemy.

word, the day passed of delightfully."-,
