NEW YoRK, June 24.-The Jersey mosquito has been dethroned by species of black spider which is now running rampant in that state, aud whose victims during the past fort night are numbered by the score. In three instances the depredations of the insect have been attended with serious results. Lawyer G. F. Fort, of Camdon, while lying on his bed felt a tingling pain in his foot, and looking down saw huge spider. Within a few hours his entire leg had swollen to an enormous size and it was only after a confinement of a week that he was able to leave his house. A similar case is that of Mir. C. Fl. Folwell of the same city, who was bitten on the temple. For several days he carried around a swelling the size of base ball and was deprived of the use of his right eye. Harry Linn, of Williamson, was bitten on the hand, and the pain became so intense that he was thrown into nervous prostration, from which he has not yet recovered. The other cases. while less serious, have been SO numerous that consid- erable alarm is felt lest the state shall be affected with a yeritable plague of spiders.
