Those who are accustomed to look upon ant as an in- dustrions but {ficant creature, will proba. bly smile at the ifea of its presence, even in being @ source of serious inconvent- ence. pooped wish to cau € an unnecessa- Ty panic, but with the view od omy Londoners for possible contingencies, it may be a8 well to call attention to the proceedings of an army of ants that some ago invaded the island of Grenada. The ants on that occasion “descended from the bills like torrents and the plantations, as well as every path and road for miles, were filled with the Rats, mice and reptiles of ev kind became an easy prey to them, and even the birds, which they attacked whenever they lighted on the ground in search of food, were so harassed as to be at length unable to resist them. Streams of water opposed only a temporary obstacle to their progress; the foremost rushing blindly on certain death, and fresh armies tnetantly fol- lowing, till a bank was formed of the carcasses of those which were drowned sufliclent to dam up the waters and allow the main body to pass over in safety.

Tse Eantngvake in Hone Koyxg.—The Hong Kong papers unite in describing the pae- nomenon which visited the colony on tue morn- ing of the 25d of June, as having been an anal takeable shock of an earthquake. The fin impression caused by it was that the gunpowder stored at Stonecutter’e Island had exploded, or that a steam boiler bad burst. The rambling and trembling of the earth lasted fully tifteen seconds, bringing Gown cornices in houses on the Praya, while at the Hong Kong Fire In- surance Station the engine ran out of the house on the Paya. At tbe Police Court there was a loud noise, as if heavy weights were being drawn across the floor. “Belis rivate houses were rung, and £0 great was the oscillation that the large boll at the Central Fire Sta- tion boomed twice, while in the Police co pound the earth was observed to roll as a wave, causing much alarm. The harbor was much disturbed, aud several sampans were capsized, while masses of jelly tish rose to the surface, disappearing again when the shock had passed. The Chinese population showed great fear, and rushed trom their houses into the streets. Two small Chinese houses in the Hollywood road were thrown down and the occupants buried in the ruins. They were fortunately rescued with little injury beyond bruises. At the jose-house some workmen were hein Ay in banging a large ornamental glass candelabrs, when, without any cause or notice, they sud- denly found themselves prostrate before the two dragons which guard the entrance, while the candelabra lay smashed Into a thousand pieces. The men got up and ran into the building, where they prostrated themselves before th jose figures, yelling at the top of their yoices. In afew minutes the joas-house was filled with a frightened crowd of devotees, who were praying to the idols to ward off tne anger of the Genius of Fnngshucy. Mothers placed their babeson the altars and bowed to Joas, while many others were heard lamenting this visitation of the ‘ea-lovg-” or “Earth Dragon,” to whose movement in changing his position beneath the surface they attribute the shaking and rambling noiges of an earthquake. &7Of course, we couldn't have him roam- ing around here and putting on Congressional airs,” says @ Nevada paper in expla’ ning how a Loree thief came to his end. torr ICIAL.I Conyention betw the United s of America and the Kopublic ance.
