but was deleated. In ls7( he founded the
Philadelphia Times, which proved a great
success from its Incoptleu. At the time the
Times wasatarted the abuse of politics was
llagrant, and taking advautagoelthis Colonel

accpialnted with the Insect tint inflicted the

active feeder trem the tlme It is oxcltnleil
from the egg, te the end of Its daja. The
iHMipIe, ;irr , have no name for It, by winch
It Is usually recegulred, as we de the animals
named deg, cat, or rat; but K)pular ento
mology has designated It the wheel-bug,"
becatme the Mentr Is seml-clriMilarly elevated
ami notched, similar te a hair cog-wheel.
Length la 1', Inches, including head and
ncckjwIdeHt part or abdomen i Inch; legs
and aiitcnniii moderately long; color dark
bronzed brown; wiugs folded Hat en the
back, aud the thorax longitudinally raised In
a serrated, Hemlclrciilar rldge.
Hclcntitlcally, It is called tetfiii'.iis
iiei'CiiurfiM, and is belengs te the order
llKMli-rKUA, or " Half-wings j" because the
basil portion of the upsr wings are thick
and epaiie,and the apical portion mem mem
branaceous. The " Ilvtl-htig " and the
"Hpiah-bug " iieleng te the same order,
aud they are all sucterial in their feeding
hablU; living en lluld or wtmlllilld final
alone. This Insect has no caudal sting, and
tlioreferodoox net stings lu the aense that the
wasp does, but It has a formidable pretmsals,
or ItitusteUuiw, aud sting In the ttauie manner
that mosriilteH or horse-llles de namely by
puncture, or penetration and suction ; there
fore, it should be "Mnorely let alone."
It euly resembles the mantis lu Its alew
and cautious moiemenls In securing Its prey,
aud In its anterior raptorial feet, by which
It secures It, (The mantis Is liiandlbulaUd,
uetbaustellated, aud It U'lougste au entirely
dltloreut order of insects). The "Wheel "Wheol "Whoel
bug" feeds en the J ukes of ether Insect", es-l-pctally
caterplllars, moths, grasshepars,
llUs, uinl Indeed ou almost any "aeft-ahulled"
Insect that comes within its reach, ami
within that limit It acts ipilckly. It Is there
fore unqualifiedly ueiiHldunsI au "Insect
friend." The females defsidt thelr cylln
drlad eggs lu clusters of i" or 30 lu the Jail,
and they stand en end firmly glued together,
llielr bases firmly united te tlie bark of trees
aud shrubs or en olher objects, where they
remain all winter aud are hatched In tlie fei
lowing aprlng. In some cases, be ever, the
romaleslillHirnate during the winter and de-
pcwll in tlie spring.
Ou nne occasion we iMptured n lomale In
tlie ineutli of March, and confined bur lu a
box which we kept in a warm room. Hhe
dopeslted alwut W eggs In two or thtoe
groups ou the Hldoertho lsx, and then died.
TheiQ eggs were prematurely hatched, the
young lieing cousplctieus for their long legs
itl anteuun1, and small bodies. The eggs
resemble miniature sra-iinrmemei, with
Kirlet llewers ou thelr nplies, or upper
ends. Although there wits iiethlngllu the
box upon which they could possibly feed,
overy time wu examined them we found
them Jucreased In size, and we also ob
served that they diminished In nutu nutu
ber. We finally observed a mass
of shrivelled skeleton!) en the bottom
of the box below where the colony was lo
cated, and en prolonging ourebsortatlona we
discovered that the strenger was preying upon
the weaker. This we supposed wa merely
abnormal, owing te their conllueiiieut, but
subsequently the late Jacob MLiuller called
ourattentieu te a colony lu a grape arbor In
his garden, where we observed the same
phenomenon. Out or a colony or 60 young,
perhaH net mere than halt a dozen reached
tlie iiiature state When young they are
gergarieus, but when they reach adolescence,
or maturity, they siuitterand bocemo solitary.
This may be a prevision, though nature, In
accomedation te the weak and fragile condi
tion of the young, In order te erpotuate the
specie! otherwise they might all perlsb, as
they lack thu power aud agility te capture
any ether luscct feed.

en tlie Peach Bettem railroad, lest tbroe. It
is reported lliat many olher cattle are sick
In the neighborhood. The herd of Jehn
Montgomery, In Celerain, Is also said te have
been allocted and threo head te have died.
Dr. Wober, veterinary surgeon, this city,
went down te the Infected district te make au
investigation. He was oxpectod le return te
Lancaster this merulig but mlssed the train.
A report having been made that a herd or
cattle belonging te Jehn 1 Fry, near Mason Masen Mason

ploure-pnouiuonla, Drs. ilrldge and Fry visi
ted the herd yesterday and found that the
rejiert was true. They kllled two or Mr.
Fry's sloers and Inoculated the romalnder et
thecattle.
The report In ene or our contemporaries
that Dr. Shaub said a herd or cattle at Mount
Hepo was suffering with ploure-pneumonla
apixiars le bu unfounded. Wu learn fiem Dr,
bhaub that he made no such rotiert. He was
called te Mount Hepo te attend seme cattle,
but they had uoither ploure-pnoumonla,
Texas fever, tuberculosis or any ether Infec
tious disease. Dr. Shaub believes the young
cattle wero sutler ing from being over-drlvon
en the read from Lancaster te Mount Hepo.
The Illneaiie Splenic Apepleiy.
Dr. Wober having mls-jed the train at
tjuarryvllle this morning, walked te Keflen,
aud from that point tolephouos us as follews:
1 te went te Quarry vllle last evening, where
he was met by Mr, It. O. Clendennlu, who
took him in prlvatu conveyance te his farm.
He found a herd of line stoers Iti the Held;
three of them were lying dead and threo
ethors qiiile sick. The disease Is splonle
apeplexy. He examlned them near mid
night by the light or the moon.
Frem Mr. Clondennln's'tho doctor went te
the iarm of Smith. Snodgrass, whero
he staid all nlghU Mr. Snodgrass told him
that he had last woek bought '.si steers of the
Durham breed from a tirin in Chicago, the
weight e( tlie IU) cattle iHiing'ii, 197. He sold
ten or them te Mr. Cleudenuiii, montleuod
above. He sold lour ethers te Ames Coales,
ten te Truman Ceates, nene or which have
Iwen ropertod sick. Mr. Snodgrass has firty firty
leur iu geed condition, threu have died and
six are sick,
The doctor says that splonle apoplexy from
which the cattle have sullered, is a daugoreus

there Is ue danger of lis spreading.
