 Box of Bugs Loose.
 Norfolk residents and summer guests 1 who are in the habit of waiting in the Hobby of the post office during the half l hour following the arrival of the even 1 ing train from Hartford when the evening mail is being sorted for dis 1 tribution witnessed an incident last l week which was both amusing and
 exciting.
 Among the parcel post packages re- 1 ceived was large box of hellgramites
 consigned to a local fisherman, which
 had become broken in transit. By l the time the pouch was in the local l post office the bugs took advantage | of their temporary freedom to seek l a hiding place in the remaining pack cts and newspapers which the sack i contained.
 Their presence was immediately
 made known to the office force. how l ever, when the sack was emptied and
 some 200 or 300 of the repulsive-look-
 ing insects made wild dash to every
 corner of the room. The demoraliza-
 posed entirely of young women, was I complete.
 l Postmaster Leopold J. Curtiss came to the rescue with a. broom and dust pan but discovered that sweeping up heIlgramites is not the easy proposi- l ton that one would believe, the in- l sects crawling out of the pan about as fast as MT. Curtis could brush them 1 in.
 After some time, however. MT. Cur l tis' efforts were successful and the l last of the disturbers were thought to I have been restored to captivity. An l attempt to sort the remaining pack
 ages, however, revealed the hiding I places of many which had fancied themselves secure in the rolls of news l papers and other small packets and 1 further delayed the process of sorting
 which proceeded gingerly throughout l the remainder of the evening.
