MosoUIToEs.-A good instrument Of warfare
against mosquitoes is Compton. Take piece
Of the gum and set fire to it in u room. and in
few moments every mosquito will have vamosed

convenient size and set fire to it, letting it burn
minute. BY this time the mosquitoes are
gone. Put out the fire and rest content till the

tion will doubtless be very acceptable to our

Threatened Whiskey Insurrection.

A meeting of the citizens Of North White
hall, in Lehlgh county, Pa, opposed to the
Anti License Law, was recently held, at which
the law was denounced as a "dlsgrace to free
people," and the people in that part of the
State called upon to help them secure its repeal
Among the resolutions passed we find tne fol-
lowing warlIke demonstration
RESOLVED, That we will use all peaceabe
and lawful means to effect the rapeal of this
law, but are determined that it It's measures
are to be forced upon us, to devise means by
which force can be met with force.
This shows what desperate unruly OK the
liquor traffic is and the necessity OF " keeping
him in" by stringent laws. As to the threut-
ened resistance of few outlaws, it won't
amount to much In Gen. Washngton's day
few kindred spirits succeeded in getting up
a whskey insurrection, but when the tug of
war came, the whiskey boys proved themselves
to be pack o. cOnsummate towards. Their
mettle han't improved much since that day. al

Negro Philosophy.

General G gave his black man, Saw
ney, funds and permission to get a quarters
worth of Zoology at a menagerle, at the same
time limiting TO him the striking affinity be-
tween the Smia and negro race. Our sable
friend soon found himself under the canvas and
brought to in front of sedate- looking baboon,
end cycling the blbo quadruped closely soli-
quized thus:
"FOks-sure's yer born, feet, hands, proper
bad-looklng conntenance, just like nigger get
tin old, reckon"
Then as if seized with a bright idea he ex-
tended his hand, with genuine Southern
:" How do you do. uncle !"
The ape clasped the negro's hand, and shook
it long aud cordially. Sawney then piled his
new acquaintance with interrogatons as to his
name, nativity and his former occupations, but
eliciting no replies beyond a knowing shake of
the head or a merry twinkle of the eye Ohe ape
was probably meditating the best way of tweak.

GUANo.-Fhc Agricultural Bureau of the
Patent Office has published the following in
structions for using guano:
"ln the application of this valuable manure
it is necessary to keep in view its powerful
properties and TO exercise great care to pre-.
vent its coming into immediate contact with
the newly-sown seed, or the foliage of plants
aud flowers. 1t never should be placed in con.
tact with seeds; for all seeds in the process d
termination give off greater or less quantity
of corbonic acid or vinegar, and these acids
having strong alfinites for the ammoniacal por
tion Of the guano, are apt to attract it so pow.
erfuly as to check and even destroy vegeta
