The Tapping Of tho Deathwateh.

The so called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious, is a small beetle which
has very powerful joint in its neck
and calls its mate by tapping with its
head on the wall or on any surface where
it may happen to be located. The noise
is similar 90 that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on a
table, and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps. New York

EFFECTS OF BROKEN WATER PIPEs.
There was q cave-in of the roadway OH
the north side of Wilkes street, between
Royal and Fairfax, yesterday evening,
caused by the breaking on one or two
occasions recently of the water mains
in that neighborhood. a hole was
formed about three feet deep and a
fish barrel was sunk into it to prevent
accidents until the Water Company or
the city could fill the hole. 1t is
thought several tunnels have been
formed in that locality in late years
by the breaking of water mains. There
is spring on Alfred street, between
King and Prince, also on Prince street,
between fayette and Payne, caused, it
Is said, from broken pipes.
