A CLOUD OF ANTS. On Monday afternoon
about o'clock persons in the lower part of
town were astonished at seeing cloud of ants
| flying very closely to the ground, extending
fifty or sixty feet. They were about the size
of sugar ants, having wings. They were flying
from the northeast, and when seen by our in
formant were passing between the Catholic
Church and the Sisters Academy on Market
street. The entire cloud appeared 70 be
about the size of the First Presbyterian
Church. Many family washing hanging il
back yards in the path of the swarm was lit
orally covered with the creatures, which had
aighted to take a rest. They were easily
shaken of, when they would pick themselves
up and again join the band, which moved
along 1T moderate pace Where t'hey came
from, what they came for, or where they
went, is mystery. 1t is certain, however,
that they passed over the city. There is an
old superstition that when ants fly, cholera
may be expected. Perhaps the ants know
their business in this respect, and are on their
warning rounds. -Elmira Advertiser, Aug. 16.
