Land-Crabs of CHIN.

These creatures are larger than o
sea-crab and live entirely on the land.
They run with great speed, even out
stripping a horse. At seasons of the
year they migrate in large bodies from
one side of the island to the other, in
columns sometimes half a mile wide,
and so dense as almost to stop car
rage on the road they may be crossing.
These columns overcome every obstacle
in their direct line of march, even high
mountains. II is supposed that these
migrations are prompted by the in
stinct Of propagation, as the crabs seek
the sea shore. deposit their eggs, and
cast off the old shell. These crabs are
go common about the city of Matanzas
that the inhabitants often receive the
sobriquet Of "cangrejo." They are
frequently found in the houses, and IN
some cases even under the beds.
There is species of conch which
makes similar marches through the
country in immense bodies. These are
called pirates, from very curious habit
they display. This creature. which re-
sembles snail, has the ability Of de-
tacbing itself FROM the she'll. which,
for some reason, it temporarily leaves
at times; and while its house is thus
vacant, another, passing, will back its
body, tail foremost. into the empty
shell, and keep possession.

Lotteries in ola Havana.

In Havana the strangers attention
is arrested by the vendors OF lottery
tickets, who stand on the street corners
with pair of shears in one hand and
sheets OF lottery tickets in the other,
ready to cut off any number for buyers.
They are very adroit, and are apt to
persuade the creduous that they will
draw fortune in the scheme. These
licensed lotteries are one OF the great
evils there. especially to the Spanish
people, who seem to be born gamblers,
and for whom the chances of dice,
cards, and lottery tickets appear to
have an irresistible charm, all classes in
Havana dealing in them habitually.
