with a magnifying glass they looked
something like green grasshoppers.
What they are or what they may tern
into it is impossible to say, but al-
though they may not -do much harm,
they will not do any good. Mr. Sproa,t
informs us that ttees generally are simi-

from a probably fatal injury. As she
was passing the Montreal Bank, One of
the servants was endeavoring to close
