To DESTROY RATs.--The following recipe
for destruction of rats, has been communicate
ed by Dr. IRE, to the council of the English
Agricultural Society, and is highly recon-
mended as the best known means of getting
rid of these most obnoxious and destructive
yermin. 1t has been tried by several intelli-
gent persons, and found eftectual Melt hogs
lard i~ssr bottle plunged i'll water, heated to
about $50 deg, introduce into it half an ounce
Of phosphorus Tor every pound of lard ; then
add pint of proof spirit or whiskey cork
the bottle firmly after its contents have been
heated to $50 deg, taking it at the same time
out of the water and agtate it smartly until
the phosphorus becomes uniformly dilFused,
forming a milky looking liquid. This liquid
being cooled, will afford white compound of
phosphorus and lard, from which the spirit
spontaneously separates, and can be poured off
to be used again, for none of it enters into the
combination, but it merely serves to commit
mute the phosphorus and diffuse in very fine
PARTICLES through the lard. This fairy COM
pound, on being warmed very gently, may be
poured out into mixture of wheat flour and
sugar, incorporated Herewith, and then fla
vored with oil of rhodium, or not, at pleasure.
The flavor may be varied with oil of annise-
seed, etc. This dough being made into pei
lets, it is laid in rat holes. BY its luminous
ness in the dark, it attracts their notice, and
being agreeable to their palates and noses, it
is very readily eaten, and proves certainly fa-
tai. They soon are seen issuing from their
lurking places to seek for water to quench
their burning thirst and bowels, and thew
commonly die near the water. They continue
to eat as long as it is offered to them, without
being deferred by the fate of their fellows, as
is known TO be the case with arsenical doses.
1t may be an easy guide for those who are de-
sirous of following DR.. Ures prescription,
and may not have a thermometer at hand, to
know that a temperature of $50 deg. Fahren-
heit, is equivalent to degree Of heat midway
between that at which white of egg coagulates
and white wax melts.

The SCHUYLER FRAUDs.-The opinion of
Mr. Charles O'Conor in the matter of the
Schuyler over-issue of New Haven Railroad
shares, is published 1t is very lengthy, and
considers the company legally liable for the
acts of its agent, under the well known cir
cumstances of the case. He also insists that
the recognition of greater number of shares
than the state allows is not impracticable and
he considers that it is for the interest of the
original shareholders to recognize the over
issue rather than pay damages.

The DIFFERBNoE.-Th Springfield Repub-
lican, in commenting upon the two great
events which occupy the attention of the peo-
pie and the press, well observes: "The whole
civilized world is thrown into anguish by the
loss Of two hundred and fifty lives, by an &C
cident at sea. Yet it receives with more of
rejoicing than of sadness, the intelligence that
thirty thousand men have persisted in fighting
on the shores of the Black Sea. Such are the
ineongruities of civilization, and of enlightened
education, i'll this age"

A DYING MoTHER's LovE.-The plague
broke out i'll little Italian village. In one
/ house the children were taken first; the pa
rents watched over them, but only caught the
disease they could not cure. The whole fam
lily died. On the opposite side of the street
lived the family Of poor laborer, who was
absent the whole week; only coming home on
Saturday night to bring his scanty earnings.
His wife felt herself attacked by the fever in
the night; in the morning she was much
worse, and before night the plague spot show
cd itself. She thought of the terrible fate of
her neighbors. She knew she must die, but
as she looked upon her dear little boys, she
resolved not to communicate death to them.
She therefore locked her children into the
room, and snatched her bed clothes lest they
should keep the contagion behind her, and
left the house. She denied herself the sad
pleasure of last embrace.
Oh, think of the heroism that enabled her
to conquer her feelings and leave her home
and all she loved, to die Her eldest child
saw her from the window. Goodbye, moth
er," said he, with his tenderest tone, for he
wondered why his mother left him so strange
ly. "Good-bye, mother" repeated the young
er child, stretching his little hand out Of the
window. The mother paused; her heart was
drawn towards her children, and she was on
the point of turning back; she struggled hard
while the tears rolled down her cheeks at the
sight of her helpless babes. At length she
turned from them. The children continued
to cry, "Good bye, mother" The sounds
sent a thrill to her heart; but she pressed on
to the house of those who were to bury her.
In two days she died, recommending her hus
band and children to their care, with her last
blessing.
o that mothers were as careful not to i'm
part the worst contagion of sin to their chill.
