SUNliUllY AMERICAN AND SHAMOK1JN JOUKNAL. THE SEVENTUtPI If EAR WCIIH. According lo the prtfcriMlication of those acquainted with the subject, we are to hate, during the coming summerJ In this visitation of the .even.oen yearlocns.f The following from ... article by Dr. Gideon B. Smith, of Baltimore, on the subject, iseuiion and in teresting : ... i In the whole tongs of natural history ihem is nothing more strange than Hie fact, which has boen established with much certainty ns any fact in astronomy ever was, that a little insect not as largo as the smallest ant shall pass into the ground and remain thoro eTcutren wars and emeigo in the form of a comparatively large insect ; or, that a certain tribe of insects shall appear hero in immense numbers numbers almost equal to those of the sands on the sea shore exactly once in seventeen years, always in the same monlh, almost on the samn day and same hour. It is indeed wonderful, but it is nevertheless true. Another fact, equally strange, is that there are numerous tribes of these insects. I have the particulars of twenty-eight districts in the United Stales, in each of which these insects appear every seventeen years ; but each dis. trict has a different year for their appearance from that of nnv neighboring district. For example, the locusls appeared about Richmond and east of the Blue Kidge, in Virginia, in 1843, nnd will appear there again in I860 ; while on the west of the Blue llidge they ap pearcd in 144, and will appear again in 1861. S, it is over the whole of the United States, south of latitude 44 deg. ; north of which limb, and repeat tho operation, till she has laid about 400 eggs. The eggs are while, or peail onlor, about the ISihofnn inch long, and about ono sixth as thick as they are long. It is this operation that, destroys the small limbs the excavations cutting ofT the sap vessels.' The time of depositing the eggs continues till about tho 20th of June, w hen they cease. All kinds of trees and shrubs aro selocted by them for thoir tie posits, except pines, and other turpentine trees. Thoy do not seem to select the hard est nor tho most soft wood, but that which is about the size of their bodies or less seems to bo chosen J the operation requiring them to grasp the side of tho limb with their claws, which they could not do well if the limbs wero larger. By grasping firmly with their claws, they are able to make great pressure upon the point of the ovipositor, and thus effect their object. From the 1st lo 20lh June, oil shrubbery of voluo should bo protected, either by care fully covering it with cheap anu.e, or in the case of pot plants, by keeping them in the house. Abonl tho 25th of July the eggs will be ready to hatch. Then lake a limb con taining them, cut carefully till you expose the eegs, and take them out, plaoo them m the palm of '.he hand, end they will hatch in a lew minutes. Tho little insect frees himself from the egg shell precisely in the same way that the large one did in the spring by rupturing the shell on his back. As soon ns he is faiilv out of tho shell he stalls off briskly in seach of food. Let him get to the ground and you will seo him work his way 1 l,nm nut vet heard of their appearance That they appear throughout the west I have into it $ follow him, and you will see him al ,,, ilnnhi as far as the shores of the Puoifio. tuch himself to the tondur roots of grass or other vegetables, and commence taking up the linuid exudation from ihe surface with his little rostrum or snout.

But that the progeny of the samo insects that appeared heic in 1834, will appear here in 1851, there is no doubt. They do not pass from one district to another, but remain in their own district. Though they can jly, Their flight is very short ; from tree to treet some fifty or a hundred yards is about as far ilwv naunllv attemnt to flv. Veiy high winds fiequently drive ihem to a considera ble distance, even over rivers. Rivers and mountains are Generally boundaries of their districts. Thonh they will go pretty well up the sides of the mountains, they rarely if ever reach the top, or go over it ; and they cannot fly over a river the eighth of a mile wide. Still, tho whole country, now occupied only once in seventeen years, will in the course of time be visited by them every year in eiinaniiinei ol ihe iniimlina of the dis. liicts jy the insect being wafted by the winJs from one to another. As before stated there are now several places where tho in sect of neighboring districts have commin gled, causing their appearance every eight and nine years alternately, &c. Who knows but that other insects require also a number of years for theii existence, though they now appear to be annual ! The progeny of one. that appeared several years ago coming up this year ; ami those of another that appear ed a year after coming up next year, and so on. The habits of the locust am as follows : By shaving olT an inch soil, from the 1st lo lha 10th of April, or any time before the 20th of May, in any place where trees, &c, grew in 183-t, you will open the chambers of the locust They look like half inch anger holes. Dig down, and yon will find one lo. cust in the hole. This hole or chamber is a place wherein he prepares himself for his final appearance in the perfect stale. During night, and in cold or wet weather, he is at the buttom of the hole, 8 to 12 inches deep ; giound in the spring. By carefully watching, you will see the young insect coming out of the excavations in the limbs, anil falling to tho ground. You can sometimes see gieat numbers fulling from high trees. They ure like little motes in the air, and require sharp sight to see them. They are so small, and their apparent specific gravity so inferior that they aro not injured by the fall.

The subject of the election of the Judges of Ihe Supreme Court is already exciting considerable attention in almost every sec tion of the State. We mentioned last Week thai Charles W. Hegirls, Esq. of Pottsville and recently ot this place was highly recom mended for that station by the Pottsville Register. This recommendation has since been endorsed by a number of papers whig and democratic. Mr. Ilegins possesses abilities of a superior order and would niuke an excellent Judicial officer. J. W. Maynard, Esq., of Lycoming is also recommended in the last Lycoming Gazette for that station, Mr. Maynard is one of the most talented lawyers in North ern Pennsylvania. His qualifications for the station are undisputed. Joshua Wi Comly, of Danville, is also recommended by the Danville Democrat for that station. Mr. Comly sustains a hip-h reputation at the 13ar for his legal learning, and possesses all the requisites, as a gentle man and a lawyer, necessary tor that sta tion. Our whig friends could not well select from their ranks, an abler or better man. HIT" Lieutenant General. The Senate has passed the bill conferring the rank of Lieutenant General on General Scott.

About tho 20th day of May, a tiny or two la ter or earlier, according to the weather, they will begin to leave Ihe ground. Yon will seo their old shell adhering lo tho bark of a tree or shrub. Hut few will bo found the first dav, more tho second, and so on, in creasing in numbers till about the "ill of May when the greatest number will appear, and then in less numbers thereafter till about the 5th of June, when no snore will leave the earth. When they come up from the earth al ways about day light or a little before they immediately climb the first object they meet with, a tree, or bush, or slake, any thing two or three feot. They then lay hold of the baik fixing themselves firmly by their claws, and commence working themselves out of their old shell, which is done by rupturing it on the back, between the shoulders and draw, ins themselves out. As soon as they get fairly out, they seize hold of the old shell wilh their claws, raise themselves, and begin to expand their wings.

Ill the immediate vicinity of Ilermudn, says ihe New Orleans JVuttitie, is a Held of corals, some twenty miles by ten iu ex. lent, which, seen through water several feet deep anil perfectly transparent, presents an object of gieat beauty and richness. The prisoueis al that establishment am freipieut ly employed to procure, by diving, speci mens uf coral from that exhaustless field uf beauty and richues, w hich uie scut lo nu. meious cities and individuals on both conti. lien ts, fur ornaments upon mantle pieces. In many places coral rock is used as the only building material. For foils it is probably preferable to any oilier mnleiial. It is more difficult to shatter by cannon balls than any other rock. Though not hard, it is tough. Coral is Ihe carbonate of lime. The Potomac marble, used for pillars in tho assembly chambers in the American Capitol, is calca reous pudding stono. Il is composed of peb' bles of the caibonate of lime, uf various si zes, .troni thai ot a man's neaJ to grams smaller than a pea. A Rich Miser, in Auburn, N. V., is to be buried in Owasco Lake, a beautiful sheet of water near that town. He lias a stone coffin made, which takes twelve yoke of oxen to draw it. He gives a man a nice farm for burying him. He is to take him into the mid die of the lake, and sink him. It is said that the coast of New Jersey is amply supplied with Francis' life boats, and that more than 400 lives hare been saved by these within the past year. .4 ii it 1 1: i.
