Tue Cricxrt.—The Cricket is a curious little insect. It has given rise to two proverdial expressions ; in France people say ; “ silly aaa cricket.” while in England and Ainerica we sy, “merry as a cricket. Crickets eat 133, geed3 unl fruits, conveying then to their Sites and though they are very fond of drinking the dew on teaves and flowers, they are very careful nut to wet themselves vn their journeys in scarch of food. ‘The young live in peace, bat when they grow up they manifest ‘a must belticose disposition, and are .continually flzhting with one auother. ‘The boys in Germany are very fond of keeping crickets in boxes fur thy sake of their song, ond for the purpose of watching their battles. What thu game cock ig to the Cuban, and the ball-dog to thu Euylishman, the cricket is to the Ger. twan youth. ‘heir centests are very sharp and very amusiog. According to the way in which they happen to mect, thuy batt like rains, kick like horses, or scratch bike citts, and tle contest is unceasing in its ferocity, until one of the insects fices from the field or is disabled. It nist be remembered that the Wuropean house cricket ia not kuown in our country. Its syug is much more varied and much checricr than that of the species which sometimes finds its way into our huarths. Agent Wanted.

For rapldly pniverizing and amalgamating ores, they have noecqual. Noeffort has becn,or will be, spared to have them construcled in the most perfect munnet, and of the great nuinber now Jn operstion, nut one has cver renired repairs, The constant and increasing demand tor them Is sutticient cvidence of thelr merits. ; They arc constructed so asto apply stcain directly Into
the pulp, or with stcam bottoms, as desired. Thia Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motion of themnier forces the pulp te the center, whero It Is drawn down throngh the Ans ertire and between the griudlng surfaces. Thence It Is thrown Petia eh Into the quicksilver. The enrved plates again draw itto the center, where It ia down, and tothe elreumforence as before. Thus It is coustantly assing in a regular flow between tho grinding sarlaees and ite the quicksilver, until the ore is reduccd to an impalpable powdor, and the metal amalgamated. Setters made on tho same principle excel all others.— They bring the pulp 80 constantly and pertcctly in contact with quicksliver, that the particles are rapidly and completely absorbed.
