destruction Of Flies,--Most of the fly waters,
and other preparations sold for the destruction of
iies are variously designated poisons dangerous
and even fatal 10 the human species such as solu-
tons OF mercury, arsenic, BIC. mixed with honey
or syrup. The following preparation, however,
without endangering the lives oil children or other
incauous persons, is not less fatal to flies than even
a solution OF arsenic. Dissolve two drachms Of the
extract of quassa in half pint of boiling water !;
and adding little sugar syrup, pour the mixture
ON plates. To this enticing food the flies are ex
tremely partial, and il never fails to destroy them.

From the Boston Patriot.

Paragraphs have been circulated in
papers hostile to Mr.. Adams, accusing
him of having pronounced Palne's poll
teal writings worse than worthiess, +"
and of being desirous Of Introducing a;
Washington, the nonsense OF European
etiquette. For proof Of these assertions,
their authors refer to his letter in answer
to General Smyth, and bis letter to the
Vice President on etiquette. These
writer's are somewhat unfortunate in
their references, since they will find
themselves fully contradicted in the very
documents cited. Mr.. Adams never
denounced the political writings Of Paine
as 4" worse than worthless," but applied
this remark solely to his religious pro-
auctions. His letter on etiquette was
written for the purpose OF condemning
such folly, and is therefore very awk-
wardly cited as proving his desire OF in
Producing it among Us. His enemies
complain Of his austeriry and stiffness,
aud his deficiency in that elegant and
