ATTACKED By BLACK ANTS.
The Awful Experience and Narrow Escape
of an Ohio Farmer,

DAYTON, o., July 30.-Mr. Isaiah Burncrat, a
farmer living near Cham bersburg, q small coun-
try village a few miles from here, had most
wonderful experience to day. narrowly escaping
being killed by ants. He picking blackber-
ries in a wild patch of underground in dense
wood, when suddenly he disturbed millions upon
millions of large black ants They were under
a thin covering of earth which he stepped on,
and almost instantly they crawled up his pant
legs and when he tried to knock them off they
showed fight, Before he could get out OF the
heavy growthsof brush he was covered from
head to foot with the pestlferOus insects They
bit him and crawled into his nose, ears aud
mouth He yelled for help, but soon became
blinded with the myrads of ants on his head and
face. and before he reached the edge of the wood
fell helpless to the ground, utterly at the mercy
of the insects, and only saved from death
by the timely arrival Of brother. The insects
were common black ants Of a very large size.
Burncrat was bitten by them all over the body
but. while very sore, it is thought, providing the
bites are not poisonous, will recover The case
is without precedent in this section of the
country, and it is believed, had not aid arrived
when 1t did, the ants would have not only killed
but eaten their victim.
