cleft palate, triangular space, extending from the

There was deficiency also of The soft palate, the

ABADGER K1LLED.-The St. Mary's Bea-
con says: sit will doubtless be matter of
much surprise to our readers, as it was to
ourself, to hear that Bad ger-a genuine
.Arctomys nsonar-was killed a few days
since near the Patuxent river in this county.
We were under the impression that the race
had become entirely extinct in St. Mary's
years ago. How this animal managed to
evade the dangers to beset him for so long
period, is really mystery to US. What
an interesting biography his would be, we
expect, could it only be written how full
of bold, dashing exploits and hair-bread,h
escapes! That Life Of an Eagle to be writ
ten by himself) which Christopher North
so much longed to- possess, would be dull
in comparison."

toll, A. A. c6unty, was drowned off Thomas
Point, in the Chesapeake Bay, on the 18th
instant. He had been, says our informant
for some time laboring under mania q potu
and while under the influence of this dread
full maIady he fell overheard, and found an
untimely grave.
How awful the warning, to those who in
dulge in the dangerous practice of using ar
dent spirits as beverage! There is no vice
so seductive, and none more destructive OF
human happiness; yet the majority of man
kind will not be persuaded to abandon it,
although they are convinced that il in many
cases not only kills the body but hurries its
votary into the presence of his Maker, un-
prepared to give an account. Of the deeds
done in the flesh. There can be nothing
more appalling than the thought of a human
being ''s,aggering into eternity. "-.Marz

The OREGON BILL.-The Oregon bill
draws slowly along in the Senate. The
speeches on the slavery topic will occupy
another fortnight at least. The debate ex-
cites no attention on the part Of the public.
The galleries are quite empty; and the Senate

talk about the danger of an immediate dis
solution of the Union upon this awful and
tremendous and terrifying question, the end
Of the matter will be, that the Senate will

tories-,Sun.

COLONIZATION MEETING.-An interest
inc colonization meeting was held in New
York on Wednesday evening which was
addressed by several colored men, among
them Gov. Roberts and colored farmer
from Liberia.
The journal ofCommerce states that they
described the colony to be an almost earth
" paradise to the colored race, particularly
to those who have escaped from slavery in
this country, and have there attained full
and perfect liberty, and ample means to en-
rich themselves If they are Industrious
The climate they describe as being perfect
ly congenial to their constitution. The
fever which had been some years back SO
destructive to the colonists, was now but
little dreaded, as the nature of the disease
was now better understood, and in most
cases cured. The soil, from their account
of it, is the richest in the world, and with
but little cultivation, produces the most a
bundant harvest.

The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says, Mr. Clay has written to his friends in
Washington, very fully and favorably, on
the subject of the Wing nominations. He
says that he was not at all disappointed at
the result, and that he had long been pre-
pared for it. He had noticed, he says, a
strong current of fictitious popularity in fa-
vor of General Taylor, and being aware that
it could not be averted. he had regretted that
his friends had persisted in placing him,
(Mr. Clay) in the position of candidate.
But as the nomination was not made, he
would advise all his friends and the whole
Wing party to give their cordial and hearty
support to it. So, this question is se,tled'
and Mr.. Clay will not play the same game
against the Wing party that Mr. Van Buren,
has gone into against his old friends.

June "a, 1913.

The Hor.iculturis. for June, publishes an
account of method of keeping the rose
bug from plants and fruit trees, which is
worth copying. All the devices hitherto
used to protect rose-bushes and fruits from
its depredations, have proved Intellectual,
except to a very limited extent. The rose
bug is one of the most difficult of all insects
to destroy; it has a body cased in tough
coat of mail, and crawls on wiry elastic legs
so that considerable force is required to
crush it. The following is the paragraph in
the Horicul'urist, giving the recipe to which
we allude:
To PREVENT THE ATTACK OF THE ROSE
BUG.-Sir-I noticed in the Horlcul.urist
of August last, the complaints ga jersey
man' against the rose-bugs, and he inquiries
whether there is any remedy. have, for
several years, applied a simple, easy, and
ehectual remedy for them. Take dry ashes
those taken up in the kitchen the same
morning are the best, because dryest-and
with some little paddle or transp!anling
tfowel, throw them plen.ifulIy into all parts
of the tree or shrub while the dew is on,
and the earlier the better. A repetition on
two or three mornings will be we'll at first
after that little watchfulness will dis
cover whether any further application will
be necessary. These bugs frequently de-
stroy the tender shoots of young cherry
trees and the blossoms of our grapes in this
section of country. ] have never known a
plentiful sprinkling Of ashes, for a few times,
fail of saving the trees or securing crop Of
grapes from their ravages.
have used ID same remedy for the cur
culio on The plum-tree, and have never
known it fail of saving the crop when begun
in season, and followed up regularly two
or three times week. After rain it should
beimmedialely renewed.-R. Newton, Wor-
