They then lay hold of the bark, fixing themselves firmly by tbeir claws, and commence working themselves out of their old shell, which is done by rupturing themselves on the ba'-k, between the shoulders, and drawing themselves out. As soon as they got get fairly out they seize hold of the old shell, with their claws, raise themselve?, and begin to expand their wings.

If it bo a wet or very cloudy day they are apt to perish in the operations of sloughing and drying. "It would be curious to imagine the nature of that instinct which prompts the insect to tha effort to burst the barriers of its outer covering for the attainment of a new state of existence. Still more so to imagine the joy and delight with which it must enter upon its aerial life, so different from tho dull, dark and half torpid existence which it passed undor ground, during the previous seventeen years.— The imaginative Greeks typified by this specics of transition, the change whicb takes place with man, when the soul, passing from its earthly existence, enters upon a spiritual life, and realizes the glories and splendors of a happy, ipimoctality.*T!|fH i.

The Arabians have an account of their plague to Mohammed, saying, "We are an army of the Great God we produce ninety-nine eggs, if the hundred were completed, we should consume the whole earth and all th*t ia..in,it.."„«.

An ancient historian gives an account of a large army df locusts, that ravaged Italy in the year 59, and afterwardB being cast in the sea, from their decaying carcasses a stench was emitted producing such a noisome pestilence as to destroy nearly a million of men and beasts.

Our locusts may not be so pestilestial as those of the ancients—yet they Are as destructive. The^ partake more of nature of tin? grasshopp«r.

HERE is a specimen of the sort of slander that tuebard-workiog poor among the Irish, get from their "friends." It is from a communication in the Democratic State organ:

I know frons a reliablesource that many., of the Irish families, living iu this city, say to the girls at work in families, "You bring me bread, cake, pies, coffee, sugar or tea, and when you are out of a place or sick, you shall have a home with me."

WE learn that while one of our monied citteens was in Cincinnati some days ago, be was solicited for a loan of ten thousand dollars by a prominent business man of that city, considered among the most substantial operators in the Queen City. The New Albany man not having the money with him, neither desiring to check on home for that amount, replied that he would go home, get the money, return with it to Cincinnati, and loan it to his friend. This he did, letting the Cincin* natian have eight thousand dollars.

The same day he loaned the money the New Albanian returned to his home lb this city, and three or four days after reaching home he received a notification that the gentleman to whom he had loaned the money had made application for the benefit of the bankrupt law, and that he mast file his eight thousand dollar claim, in order to receive his share pro rata out of the proceeds of the bankrupt estate.

This is about the coolest piece of stealing we have ever heafd of, and in infamy is infinitely lower down than robbing a fcen roost or Stealing sheep. A man guilty of such a swindle should be compelled by the law to spend the balance of his days in the penitentiary.—New Albany Commercial.

EDITOR EXPRESS: With no intention whatever of disparaging the claims of any of the other worthy gentlemen who are candidates before our County Convention for the office of Treasurer I desire to s«y a few Words in behalf of Morton C. Rankin. ,j, .. 1 S

A native ot this county where, he has resided all his life, a gentleman of stainless private character and of superior business qualifications aed an ardent working Republican since he arrived at manhood. These are some of the, qualifications he possesses in common with others. More than this, he was a soldier during the war for the preservation of the Union, enlisting as a private at the time of the country's greatest need. Few men iu the land bear upon their persons as many honorable tears, evidences of good service, as he. From one of these wounds he still suffers. His nomination wouli, I think, add strength to the ticket and be an evidence that the Republican party of Vigo county remembers With gratitude the sufferings, privations and sacrifices of her two thoiisaad. citizens who were private soldiers in thearmy.of the Union,

SPECIAL NOTICE to farmers and all interested in the manufacture of molasses and sugar from Sorghum. There is now on exhibition at the office of Scott

Duy

in Terre Haute, the models of an apparatus for grinding the sorgum, separating the juice from impurities, boiling and clarifying it for the best quality of molasses, and finally waparing it for grapillation into sugar.

The undersigned have examined this machinery and titin^fts merits claim the immediate attentat Of Sorgatn producers. If we are not mistaken, with this apparatus the Sorghum brop can be msfde one of the most productive in our country. It is known to those heretofore engaged in this business, that t^xe great difficulty has been in separating the saccharine juice from otSer fluid matter expressed from the cane at the same time. It appears to us the machinery referred to is calculated to do this perfectly, and if so the problem is solved. Farmers, come and look for yourselves in lime to plant.
