Defiance people were treated to a peculiar infliction. So far as reported it was the first of its kind ever experience here.
Soon after dark a swarm of crickets, the ordinary black ones, which are heard to almost continuously sing in the grass and weeds at this season of the year, was turned loose and the air was soon full of the objectionable pests which persisted in lighting on people at every point of their persons, but showing a special fondness for the head, face and neck of those on whom they alighted.
The people who attended the open air concert of the Military Band at Clinton and Fourth street have especial reason to remember the crickets.
After the wind storm passed over no further notice was taken of the insects, so it is supposed they were blown away.
