CAPTURES. 
Agrotis Agathina . — On Saturday 
the 6th. inst. I made an excursion

accidentally in the larva state, among 
moss or lichens, by smugglers with 
whom the neighbourhood was formerly 
a favorite resort, and whose doings 
arc still the excuse for maintaining a 
numerous Coast Guard on the ground, 
as we found to our cost. Our lanterns 
had not burned many minutes beforo 
a posse of great fellows, armed to the
