MOSQUITO MUSIC.

They make awful music-I mean that kind
Of music which nothing but a mosquito can
make 1t does not sound like the music Of
a harp, OF a piano, organ, drum, fiddle, or
like the music OF any kind of instrument.
A loud.humming mosquito can be heard
at greater distance than person
would imagine. As they gradually draw
nearer and nearer to a PERSONS ear they
suddenly mix up notes most horribly,
producing a terrible discord. Soon as
the discord is made they instantly hush
up and go TO work, biting in real
earnest. A regular biting one don't half
way do work nor spend much time IN
putting in good solid lick. abomlnate
mosquitoes. and would be one Of commit
tee OF ten, fifteen, or any number, to devise
plan relative to reconclhng men and mos.
auitoeS. But reckon the mosquitoes OF
Berkley would protest against any sort OF 4
settlement. Perhaps the Norfolk ones
would not kick against treaty. Those In
Portsmouth will not hesitate in the least TO
declare eternal enmity towards mankind.
