Origin OF Mosquitoes.

The Indians have very satisfactory
account of tho origin of the Montczuma
mosquitoes. Tho legend runs thus:
There wore in times OF old, many
moons ago, two hIge fenthercd mon
sters permitted by the Manitou to de-
scend from the sky and alight on the
banks Of the Seneca River Their
form was that of the mosquito. They
were SO large that they flew toward the
earth. Standing on either bank they
guarded the river, and stretching their
long nccks into the canoes Of the In.
dians as they attempted to paddle
along the stream, gobblcd them up ns
the stork king in the fable gobblcd up
the frogs. The destruction of life was
so great that not an Indian could pass
without being devoured IN tho attempt.
1t was long before the monsters could
be exterminated. and then only by the
combined efforts OF all the Cayuga and
Onondaga nations. Tho battle was
terrible, but the warriors finally
triumphed, and the mammoth mos
quitoes were slain and loft unburied
For this neglect the Indians had to pay
dearly. Tho carcasscs decomposcd,
and the particles, viviied by tho sun,
flew off in clouds Of mosquitoes, which
have filled the country ever since

ELNIRA, y. Y, March PA passen-
ger on a west-bOund Erie Railway train
created much curiosity the other day by
having fastened TO his coat card on
which was written, "Austin Dallason,

gave the mans history. He had been in
the army during the war, and was with
sherman on his march to the sea. One day,
while with a fOraging party, he was hit
en- the back Of the mead by a woman on a
farm they were raiding, and his head had
troubled him ever since. He became so
itiOtlc that he was placed in the poor
house. 4 few weeks ago a citizen of
Bradford county was travelling in the
West, and in an Iowa village he heard
the name of Mrs. DallasOn mentioned.
He learned on inquiry that she was very
wealthy widow, and that her only son,
Austin. had enlisted in the war twenty
two years ago. Never having been heard
from since the war, he was supposed to
he dead. The gentleman called on Mrs.
DallasOn and told her of the presence in
the Pennsylvania almshOuse OF a person
named Austin DallasOn. That he was the
widows long absent one was settled be-
yOnd doubt, and she forwarded money to
have him sent to her.
