The DEATH OF HUNT, THE ARTIST W.
NJ. Hunt, who committed suicide at the Isle
of Shoals, was the son Of Jonathan Hunt
of Brattleboro, who represented Vermont in
Congress from 1927 to 1882 Mr. Hunts
death is attributed 10 hypochondria, induced
by close application. His condition of mind
for several weeks has been such that he was
carefully yet secretly watched. During a
thunder shower at the Shoals, Monday morn
ing, he visited the Thaxter cottage on Apple
dore. where, after some conversation of a
general nature, he suddenly exclaimed that
wished he was dead, and shortly after left.
Failing TO appear at dinner, search was in
stitnted, when his body was found by little
boy floating in the reservoir tank in rear of
the Thaxter cottage, face down, life having
evidently been extinct about three hours.

Persons frequently speak of the chirpinG
of the cricket, grasshopper and katy-did.
These insects, however, do not chirp, they
''fiddle"-that is they rub their wings and
legs together in such way as TO produce the
sounds peculiar TO their species. The best
instrumental performer of the trio is the
katy-dd. Each wing contains little tam
BORNE, and by the opening and shutting of
the wings these are rubbed against each
other and produce the peculiar sound which
can be heard at such a long distance, and
which gives the insect its name. These
sounds are supposed to he useful in enabling
insects TO find their mates, or perhaps they
indulge in them for their own qualification
and to add to the general harmony of nature
