Ants - Biters.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their
method is by biting. They will bite one
another and hold ON with q wonderful
grip Of the jaws, even after all their Legs
have been bitten of by other ants
Sometimes six or eight ants will be
clinging with a death hold to one an
other, making peculiar spectacle, some
with leg gone and some with half the
body gone. One singular fact is that the
grip of an ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten Of and
nothing but the head remains. -Ex-

The Legislatures aid will soon b.
invoked by our community for another
purpose. The ministers Of the different
churches of this place, the authorities
OF the two schools. and many Of the
citizens are determined to fight the liquor

seems that they will try to get the con-
