A SHEER AT METnoDIsM.-- In his speech

FOR GODS SAKE LET US HAVE
A CATHOLIC POPE, AWAY OVER
YONDER IN ITALY, AND NOT
ONE OF YOUR PROTESTANT
PRIESTS KNEELING AT OUR

Such an insult as this, voluntarily
thrust in the face of one Of our Protestant
denominations, shows the desperate shifts
which men will make to sustain bad
cause. This is the second assault tina
i.ocolocoism has made upon the Metho
dist Church. The first was made by the
Southsjde Democrat, charging the Bishops
of that Church with "wieldng a money

FrrrCru.1 MpTunn FOR DESTROY

EFFECrUAL METHOD FOR DESTROY
ING RArs.-A Correspondent CT the Cen
esee Farmer gives the following method
for destroying rats. He says
lone day a stranger came TO the honse
to buy some barIy, and hearing my father
mention the difficulty he had in freeing
the house of these disagreeabe tenants,
he said he could put him IN the way OF
getting rid Of them with very little trou-
bile. His directions were SIMPLY these :;
mix quantity of arsenic with any sort OF
grease, and plaster it pretty thick around
all their holes. The rats, he SAID, II lhey
did not eat the poison, would soil their
coats in passing through the holes, and
as, like all furred animals, they are very
clearly, and cannot endure any dirt upon
their coats, to remove the offensive matter
they would lick their fur, and thus des-
troy themselves. This plan was imme-
dialely put in practice, and in month 5
time not nat was to be seen about the
house or barn.

The MURDER OF Two SIsTERs.--W
announced by telegraph, on Saturday that
two sisters had been murdered at South
Gardner, Ne. The following letter from
The Boston Traveller gives the particulars
of the horrible affair
South Gardner, March s, 1855 A
iieuaish crime has been committed in this
vicinity, between BaldwinwilIe and Gard
ner. Two aged maiden sisters, living
alone, some distance from their neighh0rs,
were cruelty killed night before last. The
fact was not discovered I'LL last evening
near o'clock. The alarm spread like
wild-fre through the town. The sisters
slept in seperate rooms, and had gone to
bed. One was billed on the bed, by re-
peated blows Of large chair round, and
the other was lelled with the same weap-
on as she was coming from her bedroom
adjoining, probably to see what allied her
sister, and lhen large stone had been
thrown on her to complete the internal
deed. One lay on the bed, the other at
the foot on the floor. Both are awiully
beat about the head. The intent Of the
murderer was robbery,a everything was
ransacked. They were poor, were some
where near 60 years of age, and were sis
.8rs of the late Abner Knecland the iniidel.
Both pious. A 7agrant Frenchman has
been arrested on suspicion Of being the
murderer.
The murder, when announced in Fitch
burg, last night, at once created an IN
tense excitement II is thought that
mistake was made, as there is another
maiden couple about half a mile distant
from the place of the murder, who are
well off. In regard TO the Frenchman,
arrested, it is stated that spots OF blood
were found upon his clothes.
