MR. WALTON ON CURCULIONIOE. 
To the Editor oj the ‘ Intelligencer.' 
Sir, — Mr. J. Walton having placed in 
my hands forty copies of his paper on 
Curculionidae, I have, at his request, for- 
warded them to as many Coleopterists as 
the limited number would supply ; those 
who have received copies are solely in- 
debted to the liberality of John Wal- 
ton, Esq., of Bayard’s Lodge, Knares- 
borough. 
Yours, &c., 
F. Smith.

ENTOMO-LOGIC. 
Scene. — The Receiving-Boom at a 
Provincial Post Office. 
Letter-carrier No. 1. — Hollo, Jem! 
here’s a mess o’ maggots in the bag! 
No. 2. — Maggots ! where ? Ah ! shoot 
’em out here, and I’ll just set my heel 
on ’em! 
No. 3. — Stop, you ! I know what they 
are; they are caterpillars for Mr. Blank, 
and have crept out of the box. Here, 
put ’em in this paper, and I’ll carry ’em 
all right. 
No. 1. — What does Mr. Blank do with 
them things? 
No. 2. — Why, I guess he’s a bit of a 
quack, and makes pills or salve on ’em, 
for he has a sight of pill-boxes sent 
him. 
No. 3. — Salve— no! what do you think 
lie’s ’Olloway’s Ointment-man? No; 
they comes into butterflies ! 
No. 1. — What do you mean by “ they 
comes into butterflies?” 
No. 3. — Why, butterflies comes out on 
’em; he show’d me last Christmas, when 
I got my Christmas-box, drawers upon 
drawers full. 
No. 2. — Pshaw ! “ they comes into 
butterflies!” and “butterflies comes out 
o’ them!” Don’t be poking fun at us.

HOW TO KILL INSECTS. 
The “ gathering” sung in last week’s news 
For catching insects rare, 
If you will once again peruse, 
You ’ll find “ behind the fair.” 
Pray listen to ’t, and why I ’ll tell ; 
It speaks of killing flies 
With “leaves!” and “formic” stuff as 
well ! 
To every Ent.’s surprise. 
Parade it to the Entom. class 
With Triton power and skill, 
An agent nothing can surpass 
Will insects instant kill.* 
For preservation too as well 
This wondrous agent let me tell. 
Five drops or ten of nothing but 
Essential oil of cajeput. 
W. H. 
* For the field one or two drops at the 
bottom of a stoppered bottle creates an 
atmosphere of the agent sufficient to 
cause death.
