To DESTROY RATs.-In or near the places
frequented by these pests, place upon a slate
some dry oatmeal; lay it thin and press it fat,
so that you may easily know what has been
taken away. The rats, if not disturbed, will
come regularly to feed upon this. Supply them
thus with fresh oatmeal for two or three days.,
then add two or three drops Of oil of aniseed J,
stir the mixture well together, feed them we'll
with, this for two or three days, then for one
day give them only half the quantity they have
usually eaten, and on the next day place the
following mixture: To four ounces of dry oat-
meal, scented with six drops of oil of aniseed,
add half an ounce of carbonate of barytes
pounded; mix this well with the scented oat-
meal, then lay the mixture on the slate as the
oatmeal had been placed, and allow the rats to
come and eat of it without interruption. A
few hours after having partaken Of this meal,
they may be seen running about as if drunk or
paralytic, retiring to their haunts to die. Rats
are exceedingly sagacious; therefore, where
they have eaten only a small portion of the mix
ture, it should not be disturbed for some time.
The oil of aniseed is disagreeable to dogs, and
many other animals, but, in small quantities,
alluring to rats

"IF THE SUN BREED MAGGoTs IN DEAD
DOG :" Hamlet The following is taken from
the Cincinnati NonpareR: ana ..aH44s
"A scientific gentleman of this eity--whose
name we are not permitted at this time, to make
public, without breach of confdence-has
within the last six weeks, at various times, pro-
duced animal life solely from action of certain
chemical preparations on each other, in such a
manner as leads him to the conclu usion that a
more perfectly developed process, aided by far
ther scientific discoveries, will produce results
miraculously astounding to the world The
specimen of life produced as above did not exist
more than twenty-four hours in eitherinstance;a
but the simple fact of life-power being thus
manifested and attested, as it is, by the per-
sonal examination of five or six eminent phys-
cians may lead to something of which the world
of science, as at present, may look forward
with awe and amazement!"
We shall anxiously await the patenting of the
mechanical means of constructing animal or
ganization, or will believe very firmly in It
upon good evidence. . ..T s .1 >
