THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY FLIGHT OF BUTTERFLIES: The swarm of butterflies which crossed the Channel, and appeared at Dover on the 5th ult., are said to have belonged to the "Pontia capae" (or rapae?). A correspondent says he has made very minute enquiries into the subject on the spot, as he landed there from Ostend, on the Tuesday following the circumstlance. On the 13th he travelled by rail from Cologne to Ostend, the day was intensely hot, and he noticed in that district a prodigious number of these same butterflies through the whole district. The day on which the phenomenon occurred at Dover was exceedingly hot, with the wind at south. (Dover Telegraph 15 Aug 1846)
Playing Marbles on a Sunday -
"Edward WHELCH and Thomas PAGE, two lads about 12 years of age were charged by Police Constable PINE with playing marbles during Divine Service. PINE stated that great complaints had been made by the inhabitants at a number of boys assembled in a shed at Buckland. He watched the place and succeeded in catching the defendants from among several others who escaped. The lads in their defence stated that seeing some boys playing marbles they went to look on but did not play and the parents being in attendance, promising to take care of the future good conduct of their children, they were discharged with a suitable admonition from the Bench.
