PRINTERS : i'lre debtruo lion of shetp, as published in your last paper, extracted from the North ampton Gazette, arises from an insect about as large as a honey-bee There is u t;enus of insects called by n.ittiralists ttstniH or j;iJ fly. In this and most other countries they are very injurious to neat cattle,, hoi ses, sl eep, deer, and sofne, other animals. I here are accordingly several sprcif.s of uY'S kind of inserts, each of which has its peculiar habits and manners, according to the animals which it at tacks. There is one which pierces the hides of otir neat cattle, m deposit its eggs, which luithin0 into larvi or maggots, feed upon the living aninul and produce ulcers, sickness and death, rt... . ..., : .t ik. il.wlj 1 'f, iiiiwtiiti rpiiit.t deposits its em's cn the hair o the torse, which are licked 01T by the an imal and swallowed with its food. The eggs hatch in the stomach, and are sonu times so numerous in the form of l.irva or worni3, that they destroy the coats of the stomach ami intestines, iroduce inflammation, and kill the an- im ti. 1 ncse are tne insects wnicn roduce the botti in hones. A third ppecics astrus cvii the grid V which annoys sheep, deposits its eggs in the nostrils of that animal, pro duces disease there, ami frequently de stroys them. I he blind staggers in bheep is occasioned by this insect. The eggs are hatched intfi Lirva (grubs, or worms, or niaggdtv) which by their irritation excite inflammation and a running from the nose. When they ire numerous the inflammation ex tends up the membranes of the nose mt'j the frontal smus of the brain, pro ducing that vertigo or giddiness which causes the staggers, and occasions the death of the animal. The worms, when hatched from the eggs of the fly, craw l up the nose ; and in those sheep which have horns, there is a natural communication from the nostrils of the sheep into the cavity of the horns, and hence the rrubs or maggots are found there, as the writer hereof has demonstrated bv dissection. In the season of the year when the hecp are attacked by this sprri?s of ;.td-!lv, their instinct naturally leads them to avoid their enemies. Accor dinplv Avhen these insects are heard )tizing about them, sheep frequently start and run, from no apparent cause, ut actually to shun them. At such times a ily (.1 t..is kind will drive them from one place to another, and they are observed to hold their noses to the grouud to shut up the avenues of approach to their enemy. With these facts before us, we have only to watch the enemy, at the season of his arrival, give him no entrance, but keep him at bay for a lew weeks, till this short race is run. We know of no better remedy than that of cov ering the nostrils of the sheep with a list ot gauzy substance, through which the animal can breathe, and keeping it ia its place by some adhesive sub stance. This is the only method that has suggested itself upon considering the nature 01 tne case, ana us atten dant circumstances ; and if it can pos sibly be done, it is recommended 'to practical men, as the only plausible rcmcdv. A NIGHT IN NFW YORK. moMjrtis mw-ioHK advi:ti(.k. Mghtty promennJes. In London it is well known that a considerable por- tion of the inhabitants, particularly th c most depraved, sleep all day, and walk all night ; hence in no period of the twenty-four hours are the streets deserted. We, in New-York, arc a sober set, par ticularly in the winter. The streets, of a frosty right, are actually desolate ; ,nd even the watchmen, those vigilant sriitinels of the ! k, house themselves comlortably, and take their nap beneath some porch or p. nihoiiiie, well shelter ed from the H.'.rtn. In the S'.i.nnur, however, things wear a dilT.-rcjit n-,!:.iri.te, and theic are many who sleep through the heat of the d-iy, p.nd walk through the tool of the nigh'. The weary traveller, or the industiious ( iti;;"n, Meals "but a hasty dose in these noi v times, and ets jnys bis balmy sleep by snatches. About 2 o'clock on Saturday morn ing, the neighbours in the vicinity of Washington Hall, were aroused fror.i their slumbers by a clamour in the street, of no inconsiderable violence. A lady had detected the infidelity of her husband, which, like a kind consid erate wife, she was endeavoring f conceal, ly having him taken to the watch houses. The noise made by these conntibijl ri'Hers awoke all the bachelors in the neighborhood, who shaking the jfcp pies from their brows, opl their white night caps and head Irom their w indows to take a lesson in the line of conjugal aiTection. " 0 you ihaef you varlc! you infidel," said the lady, with the utmost mildness, and having a smack of the brogue," have I cotchYi ye.' how dare you go after another man s wife, you Villain '. ' fjw nu clear, said the husband, "consider where we are." " Don talk tomr,yu wretch ; you consider every thing but your poor wife ; but I 6upe cu d yr, faith and sure, I dogged je, and I cotch'd ye, you villain as you are, wit'i another woman." u Now cu ar ; wrong, my love," said the poor devil- "you are wrong ; I was bitting t.p wit'i oead man. "A dead mon: oc.i what a lie," said the lady "'twas a living woman, I say here watch, watch oif w ith him ; I llappraragainst him to-morrow." Our watchmen arrl in general, very civil creatures, having at best, a little energy, but a great deal of curiosity. They are fond of hear ing particulars, and trying cases iu the streets. In this instance, after hearing pa tiently the volubility of the lady, and her vehement if not affectionate solici tations to carry her husband to the watch house, the trusty guardians of the public peace, not feeling at liberty to discharge the man, nor fully compe tent to decide whethtr the public pe:co had been disturbed, concluded that it was best to carry them both off. Order being restored, and folks re turned to their comfortable mattresses, a dull half hour craw I'd on interrupted! only by some early carriages comir.g' in or going out ot town, or tiic cl.ittir of feet tripping it over the pavement. Presently, an amateur of music, thinly clad, came sauntering along, and fixing; himself under the window of a house occupied by a very handsome Ldy, took the disjointed pircts of a clarinet from his pocket, which he bcrewed to gether, and, as Hamlet sys, "he gave it breath with his mouth," and it dis coursed, not the most eloquent music ; on the contrary, it produced a s re..m as harsh, discordant and violent as a peacock, or the nightly brayir.g cf a Spanish jackass. II this vras not dis turbing the peace, and offending good taste, as such, deserving municipal cor rection, I know not what is ad offence at common law. Those who are ac customed to have their slumbers gent lv 'disturbed bv music stealing o'er the senses wafted with skill and harmony o'er the nightly breeze, can well im agine he effect produced by a squeak ing, squalling, scrramincj instrument, piercing the night s dull ear. Oe- casionallv, we have some mad poet swinging himself along by the light of the moon, and bellowing lrtli passa ges from Shaksjuare or Hymn. Somr limes a song or ballad is mir.crd ionh in a dolorous style; and, as mcrn blushes from the eat, the heavy butch er's cart, the light wagon of the milks man, the musical nute of the sweep, and the hum of business, which at ear ly dav commences, finishes the languid night, and leaves us unrt freshed, tin vigorateel. Such arc the charms of a t it y life ; such is a night, a summer night, in New-York. Let not ur southern friends complain j there is vci deception in it.
