Look 10 Your WooIens.

Alang persons enormously suppose that
the best mode to prevent moths from getting
into Woolens or furs, is occasionally 10 hang
Them out through The summer in the sun
and air. This is great mistake, as it is by
such exposure that the moths are most likely
to get into them. On the contrary, in the
spring, when The season is over for lurs and
wooIens, they should be we'll shaken and
brushed, then wrapped up lightly in innen,
laying among them Jumps of fcamphor; hands
full of fresh hops; shreds of good tobacco, OIL
cuttings Of Russian leather; or strew among
them ground black pepper or ceder sbavngs
all Of which are preveniives of moths; bu
the camphor is by far the 3est, and most Ger
tain, particularly for Gurs. For blankets and
carpets, you may use the best chewing TO-
bacco pulled TO pieces, or tobacco STEMS
All wooIens, &c, should be kept during th
summer, unopened, IN dark closets, presse
or chests. If by any chance or neglect
press or closet should become infested with
moths, let ii be scalded with strong decoc'
ton of tobacco and repeatedly sprinkle {
with spirits of camphor. lfIhis does not ex
pei these troublesome insects, it is better t
give up keeping wooens in that press, AM
to appropriate it TO some other use.
Chests of camphor wood (for which many
persons send 10 lndia) are excellent for kee
ping linnens, and we'll worth the cost.
mulfs and III bits are kept always closel
shut in there own boxes, with Jumps Of cam
phor, and shreds of tobacco, continually in
terspersed bout the fur, they will be in n
danger from the moth.
Cedar presses are preferable TO all Others
for keeping clothes or other ~oolen article:
Hair trunks rarely fail to introduce moth
The best time for putting away The wool

Nharf 1Easter,s neport.

Below we publish the Report of our eff.
cient Wharf Master, Mr. P. G. O'RtLEy
made from November "a, 1S48 to Nav LIST
1850. Mr., o'Riley has been at his post night
and day. as probably no other man in the
city could have been. and he has nlwavs dis
charged his duty to the satisfaction and hem
eft of the city. He was the first Wharf
Master, as he has been the only one thus far
and has had TO encounter difficulties in col
Letting wharfage which will never be pre-
sented so formidably again, now that the
boats are getting drilled into the matter
Rather than have difficulties with officers OF
boats by suing them. he has again and
again paid their Wharfage out of his own
pocket and thus got along peacefully with
all. A better Wharf Master we are salts
fed, could not be found among our cit
zens, and we are just as well convinced, there
is not man in the city in all things so well
adapted TO the business We make these re-
marks, because it is understood there is TO
be an election soon for Wharf Master, and
that there are several candidates for the office.
whom we doubt not are good men. But Mr..
O'Riley has made an excellent officer his
business takes him to almost every boat night
or day landing at our Wharf; and he is gen
orally acquainted with steamboatmen. and
popular among them. Any other man
having the office would probably have to en-
ploy an assistant, and if not connected with
Wharf boats would not make so suitable an
officer.
The salary of the Wharf Master Is entire
ly too low. Three hundred dollars will not
pay any man to do his duty faithfully in this
office. The late new regulation charging
every boat landing at this port wharfage, in
stead of only those putting out or taking in
freight, renders the Wharf Masters duties
almost donbly laborious. The Wharf Mas
ter at Cincinnati receives $1,000 per amman.
and his duties are actually not more difficult
than the same officers here. Wharfage can
there be collected during the dav-here it
must he done at night quite as much as during
the day. There, every steamboat paws its
Wharfage without a word as matter of
course. Here, there is u disposition shown
by steamboamen 10 consider Wharfage an
imposition, which many of them seek TO avoid
Let the regular salary, then, who ever may
be the next officer, be raised. or else "a certain
per centage on receipts be given the Master.
1t is better economy in the city, to give a
Wharf Master such as O'Riley one thou
sand dollars salary, tn IN many men who
would like to TO have the Office one hundred
dollars.

Opening of the Season.

me spring season, not speaking of the
weather, has opened finely in Evansville
The smiles of prosperity are upon The city,
ana upon The mass OF those whose homes are
here Business of every kind has felt the
reviving Influences of the approach Of warm
weather. Many country merchants have
visited Evansville, and made large purchases
from our wholesale merchants. while the re-
tail merchants of this place have probably
sold more goods than they ever did thus early
in a season before. This Spring has marked
an increase in nearly all kinds of mercantile
business in this city, which may be accounted
for by the swift growth ofthe place, and the
fact that the advantages of purchasing here.
instead of going TO far distant places, are be-
coming better known and our merchants
have had larger and finer stocks of goods
this Spring than at any previous season.
There is scarcely a Mechanic in the place.
but has plenty Of work. and fair prices
With all the necessities OF life abundant and
cheap and labor and prices good, there is no
reason why they should not be- as we believe
hey are, fourishing and contented portion
of our community. The augmentation to
their ranks, largely increases while it hut
smalIy divides the labor. What we mean. is
that every working man uniting himself TO
the community especially if he be a man of
family, while he may divide the labor Of one
branch of mechanics, by becoming one more
workman added to the list is also one more
customer TO nearly other trade.
But while we view with satisfaction this
state of things among our merchants and
mechanics, it is not less pleasing TO observe
the manner in which the city ITSELF literally
considered, appears to feel the general pros
perlty In the heart Of the city and at the
outskirts, buildings of all sizes, shapes and
dimensions, are springing up. This is
healthy growth, for there is a demand for all
these buildings, either as places of residence
or places OF business. And this constant de-
mand, increasing with every year. will like
wise augment the number and extent of our
improvements. Considered with other sea
sons, tl.is spring opens well in regard to city
improvements The stranger is impressed
with the marks progress exhibited on every
side, while the citizen gazes upon them with
feelings of pride and love. We are going
ahead as young city. There is nothing to
stop our progress. Canal and Railroad and
liberal spirit Of enterprise among citizens
will make this progress wax greater and
greater, until Evansville becomes known
among the big cities.
