ENGLISH MoDE or KILLING RATs.-ln your

much better, and will, if properly attended TO-
catch them by wholesale, viz: place an old

in the bottem Of it to admit them; fit slate
between two grooved slips ef wood to pull over
the hole by wire passing out through small
hole in the end ef the bin, bat the wire must
not rest over the mole then with a string 40
or 30 yards long fastened tie wire, the trap
will be complete. Place ia the bin loose tied
iaggot or two, to separate them frem fighting
and put in three or four red herrings, barley
meal, or new malt, &C., and let them have free
ingress and egress for week or 30, feeding
them every night, and when you are satisfied
they have found out the entertainment, go qui
ety in the dark and pull the slate over the hole
and you will have good sample of them; they

NTHR ACITE IRON.

The manufacture of Iron with anthracite coal
has proved so successful, that already twenty fur
naces have been erected in which that fuel is used
exclusively. We take the list from a very in.

Thos' Chambers, Esq and others, to show the
entire ability of this country to supply our own
iron, if any dependence could be placed in the

D-7- We have no room for MIR wilkins entire
letter on the subject of the aunexetion of Texas
The following are his concluding remarks
the subject the trade of Texas and the effect it
would have on our tariff
ain 1889, our exports to Texas, which was
then recognized by no other power, amounted
to one aud three quarter million OF dollars but
now, instead of having doubled with her popu.
Iation, they have dwlndled down TO two hundred
thousand dollars IN value being not one seventh
of what they were in l-39. In that year these
exports to Texas embraced over one fourth of
the total exports Of orr manufactured to oil the
rest of the world. As tariff man, have al
ways viewed the home us the best market for
our manufactures and when such markets
can be extended with honor and propriety, it
would he madness in the advocate for the pro-
lection of domestic industry to oppose such an
extension. These markets are beyond the in
fluence of foreign diplomacy, or the rivalry and
eslousy of other nations, and must remain for
ever exclusively our own.
Should Texas be refused admission into the
! Union, she must become most dangerous the
atre for foreign intrigue, from which the most
deplorable consequences to our welfare may en-
sue Indeed at some future and not distant
day we may be compelled, for the safety and
rpetuty of the Union, TO gam by conquest
what is now SO freely offered for our accep-
tance.
But with the coast of Texas added to ours,
we should then have nearly the entire shore of
our own great sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and
/ would then not only be beyond the reach Of
smugglcrs, but would also set at defiance any
attempt at invasion directed against New Or
/ leans or the grcnt outlet of the commerce OF the
/ Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
! Now, my fellow citizens, having given you
my views on this subject, let me recall your at
| tention, without reference TO Florida, to the ac-
| QUESTION OF Louisiana, without which we should
not at this moment be the uHltcd and happy peo-
! pie which constitute this great nation Yet
! that noble purchase was not without opposition
/ of decided and, indeed. most violent char.
acter; however, no patriot of that day lives tC
! regret that addition TO our territories"

UI THE SuAMoNiN ANTHRAcfrK FURNACE -
We are pleased to learn from the following
statement handed to US by gentleman who vi.
sted the Coal Region few days since, that the
furnace is now ready for blast. New Iron Mines
it will be seen, have been opened near the fur.
mace. Should the ore prove as good as expected,
Shamokin will stand unrivalled in the manufac.
ture Of Iron. The revival of business in Shame.
kin, in the iron and coal business, will give EN-.
ployment to hundreds who have been idle for
several years past
"A few days since, while on Il visit to the
Coal Region, we called at the Shamokin Furnace,
under the management of the Messrs. Postleys,
and were shown around the works, mines, &c
We found the Furnace in complete order, inclu.
ding engines and all other apparatus and ready
for bast. The furnace is filled up, and will be
fired in few days for the purpose of heating
her, after which she wi be filled up with her re.
guar stock and put in blast
: We were in the NEw IRoS MISrs, opened with.
! in the past few months, and find that the ore is
abundant, and that contracts are now made with
| the miners by which sufficient suppy is got
out daily. These are the flst iron mines that
have been opened III this region, and is q
matter of great importance A very great inn

DR.. TAYLoR'S
Balsam of LiverwOrt.

ENROM S75 Bowery, New York, for the cure
IL of Coughs, Colds, Catarrhs, Asthma,
Soreness of the chest, pain in the side and
breast, raising of blood, Liver Complaint,
Bronchitis, and all those affections OF the throat
and lungs, which are source of so much suf-
fering, and, unarrested, so often terminate in
Consumpiion--ibis remedy is highly and justly
distinguished. II is purely vegetable, mild and
gentle in its effects upon the system, and can
be taken in the most delicate cases with safety
as well as utility. Physicians aware Of its me-
dicinal properties and witnessing lis effects
even in extremes, and in some instances, appa-
rently almost hopeless cases, often prescribe it
in their practice, both as palliative and rem
edy, and with the Medical Faculty generally it
has met with great appreciation.
CONSUMPTION.-Th following remarks
were taken from a late number of the Medical
Magazine. The surprising effect produced by
the genuine DR.. Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort,
made at SIS Bowery, in Consumption cases,
cannot fail exciting deep and thrilling interest
throughout the world. We have so long be-
lieved this disease (Consumption) incurable,
that il is difficult 10 credit our senses when we
see persons evidently consumptive, restored 10
health. Yet il is fact OF daily occurrence.

THE GENUINE HYGEIN MEDICINE.

THE GENUINE HfGEIN .hEDiC1NE.
Accurately prepared by II. Sheppard Moat,
of New York, IRON the original recipe used
for many years by his late father, Mr.. Thomas
Moat, Vice President of the British College
of Health
Twenty years successful administration Of
these celebrated medicines in Europe, and
more than ten years in the United States, have
established their high reputation. Thousands
OF both sexes, who have been restored 10 health
the numerous sufferers rescued from pre-
mature deaih-and volumes of certified cases
of cure, embracing every disease in the long
catalogue of human misery; must convince the
most increduous. Of their superiority and the
truth Of the Hygeian theory, resulting from
scientific research and experiences; namely. that
''Man is subject TO only one real disease-im-
purity of the blood"
The medicines being composed entirely Of
Herbs or Vegetable matter, purify the blood,
and carry off the corrupt humors of the body,
in manner so simple as TO give every day,
ease and pleasure.
'Man will be born to days Of bliss, compared
to what has hitherto been his lot, weighed
down as he has been by disease, infrmities,
and sullerngs, which no earthly power knew
how to alleviate, until this discovery, was pre-
scented 10 the world. The weak, The feeble,
the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a
lew days strengthened by their operation and
the most obstinate complaints are removed by
perseverance without the expense of Physi-
clan. Adapted to all circumstances and situa-
tons they are the hest Medicines ever invented
for families, or to take TO Sea; preventing sour
Wy and costiveness, requiring no change of
diet, particular regimen, or care against taking
cold.
The Hygeian Medicines, first introduced
into this country by II. S. Moat, in 1880, have
for the last three years been prepared by him,
and the increasing sale attests their intrinsic
merit; they comprise two sorts of Pills, Nos. l
and in single boxes ofeach at IS or so cents;
and packets containing both sorts, at 81, 9, or
s. The Vegetable cleansing Powders, in
large boxes at 3TA cts. with printed directions.
Each packet has fac simile OF the signature
of III. Sheppard Moat, and to prevent counter
fets, are signed with pen by the district
Agent and Sub-Agent, on label Of yellow
paper.
None are genuine unless they have those
signatures and are obtained from Sub-Agents
who can produce their written appointments
from the District Agent, and whose names are
advertised in their respective districts.
