An Unusual Enclosure.
New London Conn., Telegram, June 2.

New London Conn., Telegram, June 2.
When Captain Loosely, the news
dealer, opened his package of New
York papers this morning he discovered
a young tarantula, or scorpion, con-
cealed in the contents. A scorpions
sting is generally as fatal as the bite of
the rattlesnake, and the discovery of so
deadly an insect was not calculated to
inspire the beholders with unusual SER
entity. By def manipulation the scorp-
ion was pinned to board, and he soon
after stung himself to death. The bun
die in which he was found came up on
the New York boat, and as it was near
some punches of bananas while in tran
sit, the presumption is that he left his
hiding place among the bananas and
mixed himself up with the light litera-
ture Of the day. .>.'
