Paris dispatch. OF m extraordinary pie
nomenon which occurred Q few days ago at
Villaf anca, in Piedmont.
The peasants we're engaged in the fields in
taking in the harvest, when suddenly o dull.
rolling sound was heard, and the sky became
as black as ink.
There was no thunder or lightning, but o
few hailstones OF enormous size fell, some
penetrating into the ground and others re-
bounding to q distance of several yards.
This preliminary shower ceased for sons
minutes. during which the peasants crept
under the carts and hayricks In their neigh
borhood. Some. however. were unable to
find shelter. and when The storm was over
they were in q pitiable condition, with the
blood flowing from their numerous wounds.
A boy Of fifteen and a girl of eleven had
their skulls fractured and expired o few
hours nfterward. More than n hundred per-
sons were badly hurt.
The weight Of some of these monster hail
stones is estimated in the reports at two
pounds. The crops have been totally
DESTROYED. many OF the trees have been
wrecked. and the roofs OF the houses and
cottages considerably damaged.

OF this state OF things all the surplus
population regularly every spring
took up their line OF march to the
Galena lead mines, where they
worked during the summer, and "a
regularly every fall took up their line
OF march for their homes In the south

habit OF that numerous family Of
fish called suckers, which then. a.

band OF Illinois settlers fiuctuating

SHEPHERDSTOWN, w. VA, FRIDAY JUNE 21 1889

lean wasp in the Sun said it was pug
nacious, always looking for chance
to assume the offensive. / think he
is wrong about that, for if the nature
of this wasp was such there would be
no living in the regions where it makes
its home. As far as could learn and
observe in Southern Texas, the wasp's
temper is good, and it never shows
any inclination TO resent the presence
of man except when it has an EN-
balmed tarantula in tow. Then it
will show its displeasure if it is ap-
preached too closely, and will make
frantic dashes at any intruder, open
ing its red wings as ii exhibits the
signs of its anger, as if as warning.
| was told of a Mexican who was
stung by one of these wasps on an oc-
casion of that kind. He was stung in
the neck Paralysis of one side en-
sued, and the victim died.
These .wasps have desperate and
deadly fights among themselves dur
ing the season they are paralyzing
tarantulas and depositing their eggs
in them. If a wasp that has not sue
ceeded in capturing a tarantula hap
pens to strike the trail of another
wasp who has secured victim, the
unsuccessful wasp will follow the trail
like hound on a deer track. The
unencumbered wasp will soon over
take the one dragging its burden of
spider, and a fight for the possession
of the tarantula at once ensues.
Sometimes both wasps will be killed
in the battle, and it sometimes hap
pens that third wasp, which has also
followed the trail, will come up and
walk off with the tarantula while the
others are fighting for it. IL the orig
inal captor of the tarantula has de-
posted its eggs and buried its victim
before a wasp who may follow the
| trail arrives on the scene, the latter
at once proceeds TO drag the spider
out of its grave. This done, the rob
ber wasp deposits her egg also, and
gives the spider new interment. An
old Texan told NE that he saw tar
antula dug up and buried by four diff
ferent wasps in the course of one af-
ternoon. But usually tarantulas are
numerous enough to supply the wasps
with their own victims.
These tarantula killers live on eld-
er flowers, the bloom Of the wild Vir-
ginia creeper, and similar flowers. !
saw 100 of the tremendous insects on
one clump of elder flowers one day, and
you may always be sure Of seeing
them in any of the Southwestern re
gions where elder or Virginia creeper
abound. The tarantula killer is a
| good two and a-half inches long, and
he is as handsome as he is terrible. v
