The lndestruetible Boil Weeyil.

Deputy Sheriff ChaS. Fleming, who owns large tract of farming land near Round Pond, in the flooded dis trict east of here, came to town Sun day night, after having spent the week looking after his interests in that place. MT. Fleming has all his stock of goods and household effects. | as well as some of his stock. on a raft, with a tent for living quarters. Some of the negro tenants from his farm came to the highlands at the time of the first alarm, but several families, who were living in two story houses preferred to remain on the place. All of these negroes are from Mississippi, and MT. Fleming stated to The Times man, that on Sunday afternoon he found on an overcoat belonging to one of them what the negro claimed as genuine specimen of boil weeyil, such as caused such devastation to the cot ton crop in Mississippi. Other negroes from the same state corroborated this, and left little doubt in his mind that the bug he had captured was the genuine article. He had read somewhere or had heard it stated that tte flood would drown out this pest, and he decided to make some tests with the specimen he had in sight and see if this was correct. Accordingly he procured a large pan of water and held the bug under the wat CT for over five minutes He then turned him loose, whereup- on his bugship stood on his hind legs on the surface, wiped the moisture | oil its body with it's feet, spread it's wings and flew away, thus foiling his intention of bringing him to town in a bottle for exhibition. He says that he has come to the conclusion that this pestiferous pest is amphibious, and impervious to heat or cold and that he is besides gifted with the power of aerial flight, and can thus escape from any position which does suit 1t. However, there's no cotton for the yarmints to eat right now, and it is hoped that probably the few specimens that are here will starve to death.
