Tortoise comes-forth & walks round his coop: will not eat lettuce yet: goes to sleep at four o’clock p:m:  In the hot weather last summer a flight of house-crickets were dispersed about the village: one got from the garden into my kitchen-chimney, & continued there all winter.  There is now a considerable encrease & many young appear in the evening running about, & hunting for crumbs.  From this circumstance it should seem that the impregnated females migrate.  This is the case with ants.
