W Y O J [IN a 110 V SE, our previous notion ol this subject our only object in calling attention to these figurrs was to rectify tho errors of Cincinnati editors, « he, while sotting the wheat pioduciion of their own State at-its highest figures, were in the habit of taking the census to:al' lor Pennsylvania in order to institute depreciatory comparisons. We belie ve the w heat crojiof the present y,oar will far exceed one hundred and fourteen millions—in fact, that we shall have an ample stock of breadstuff--, nnd that the poorer classes of our countrymen, who have suffered severely from the famine rates at which every thing has been held, will once more rejoice in their abundance and low ptices. Our people regard with peculiar gratification the remarkable increasof the production of breadstuff* and provisions in the fertile and prosperous West, nnd ere proud of 1ho  aggregates of those free acd hnppv Com. monwealths, though, of course, determine] not to be underrated themselves in the general exaltation of that prolific region. We all view with pleasure the rapid construction of rail ways ramifying those Stales in every (Jircclion, to gather in the smiling harvests, and transmit them to our granaries. For as tho country produces more than enough lo supply Its population, it is" through our exporters tht\t the surplps must reach u market abroad.

I look a bowl of clean watr, and set it in the sun. In a few days somo half dozen wiggle tails were visible. These continued to increase in size until they were about 3.16ths of nn inch in length. As they approached th' ir maturity they remained longer at the surface, seeming to live in the two mediums—air and water; finally, they assumed n chrysalis form, ant),'by an increased specific gravity, sank to the bottom of the bowl. Mere, in a (ew hours, I perceived short black furze, or hair, growing on every side of each; until it assumed the size of a minute caterpillar. And thus its specific gravity being coun. teracted or lightened, it rapidly floated to the surface, and the slightest breath of air wafted it against ihe side of the bowl. In a very brief spaco of time afterwards the warm atmosphere hatched out the fly, and it cscapefl, leaving its tiny House upon the water. How beautiful, yet how simple 1 After the Wafer had goi\e through this process, I found it perfectly free from animalcules. I therefore came to tho '.conclusion that this wiggle tail is a spa cics of the shark, who having devoured whole tribes of animalcule, lakes to himself wings and escapes into a different medium to torture mankind, and deposit eggs upon the water to produce other wigglo tails, who iu turn produce other mosquitoes.
