Anis.-I witnessed, Messrs. Editors, this morning in my chamber, a curious fact in con nectiOn with the natural history of this little indefatigable insect. In my ewer, aanumber of them had congregated during the night, seemingly in quest of water. Without re- iectIon, and with little remOrse, emptied half dozen, over head and ears. After the motion of the water had somewhat subsided, they scrambled to the margin of the china, and laborod at an escape from the element.- In the meantime. two or threc, who had been spectators of the struggle from the top of the basin. descended to the relief of their tribe. and by dexterously intertwining their hinder legs, in those of their sOused companions, they drew them with some labor to the sur face. In this effort they had frequently to torego their hold, but always returned. and With success, to the snccour and final extrica- ton of their companions. I watched them, until their labOur was complete, and they had taken their departure. Shall we call this trait of character mere instinct. OBSERVER.
