The Ox.Bot.

The ox-bot, Estrus bows, is . very
annoying insect; and, as its name inn
plies, it usually infests animals of the
OK species. 1t is about the same size
as the great spotted horse bot, or rather
larger; its forehead is white, and dense
ly hairy; its thorax is yellow in front,
black in the middle, and ash-colored
behind; its abdomen has an apez with
tawny- yellow hairs, and black fascia
in the middle, and is ash-colored at the
base; its wing-scales are white and very
large, and its legs are black. Its eggs
are deposited either on the skin, or in
oviposital perforation through it; and
its larva grow beneath the skin. princi-
paliy along the sides of the ox's spine
and loins, and cause tumors or abscess-
es analogous to the gals on the leaves
of willows and other trees, but often as
large as pigeon'seggs. When cattle are
attacked by the fly, they frequently be-
come furious, believing with violence,
and running of at their utmost speed,
with extended tail and outstretched neck.
A herd of cattle, driven on the road,
may become struck with such terror
by meeting these flies, that they instant
~ wheel about, run off in brisk re-
treat, and defy language not found in
the Bible, and all the sticks and stones
of their drivers, till they find protection
in pond of water; and in DAYS of yorc,
when blowing was done by oxen. frc-
quently team, when attacked at their
work in the field by this fly, and not in
stantly liberated by their driver, have
fled with the pillow at their heels, total
" regardless of the drivers heroic lam
guage and the enormous membranes
upon their fight. The larva of the OK
bot has an obIong-ovaI shape; it consists
Of eleven segments formed by TRAVERSE
bands which are crossed at the sides by
longitudinal lines; and it has, on each
side of every segment, a distinct spiracle
or breathing-hole. A cyst or minute
cell within the substance of the skin of
the OK is the abode Of the young larva,
and the commencement of the abscess
or tumor; this gradually enlarges with
the growth of the larva; secretion of
pus, occasioned by the local irritation,
supplies the insect with food; and
minute opening on the crown of the fu-
NOR permits the insect to place the ex-
tremity of its principle air-tube in con-
tact with the atmosphere, and after
wards, at the season of maturity, to

 The funeral of Miss Nettie B. Marlin, only daughter of MT. and Mrs. John M. Marlin, toek place yesterday afternoon at half past two o'clock, from the residence No. IFS George street The house was filled with
 mourning and sympathizing friends. The deceased was an interesting young lady of 12 years and 6 months and a member of room 10 Webster school. Her death was caused by cerebro-spinal meningitis, and for some time previous to the fatal illness her health had been delicate. All that tender love and un- remitting care, change of air and the best medical skill could do were of no avail, and she passed away in the springtime of life mournsd and lamented not only by the deeply bereaved family to whom the loss is so severe, but by large circle of young friends. The remains lay in a very beautiful casket of white broadcloth, with pink tufted panels and pink satin inner finish, from Messrs. Stahl & HageTs, who had charge. The floral tributes were very num- erous and lively. There was beautiful pill low inscribed "Our Nettie;' very fine wreath inscribed 'tSchoolmates," from her mates in room 10, Webster school; an anchor, from Clifford Roberts; basket of flowers, from Louise Gallagher; 8 star. from Jessie burlington; a flower stand, very beautiful with white dove suspended, from MT. Charles Doyle, uncls of deceased; beautiful basket inscribed 'Nettie;' 8 very handsome column, from Willie Stahl, Carl Stahl, Chas. Hutchin- son and R. Hutchinson; large column sur mounted by Q white dove, from Willie Beech CT, Allie Bsrtram, Edward Bartram, Alexan- der Evans, Edward Cheever, John Daggett. Also other fine tributes were 8 basket, 8 crest, beautiful star and many others, the names of the donors of which we were unable to learn. Seldom is there seen & more lovely display. The Rev E. s.
