FLIES ON HORSES.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A circumstance recently occurred here of so singular and extraordinary a nature, that I am induced to communicate it to you. I had two very fine brood mares, with Gracchus' foals by their sides, which, in consequence of the high value I attached to them, were admitted within my lawn, where they had become excessively fat. During a period of intensely hot weather the latter part of June, these mares were assailed by a swarm of flies, and harrassed to such a degree that I found it necessary to remove them to a distant pasture, where I imagined they would be less exposed to so dreadful an annoyance.
