TRAPPING MIcE.-The number of mice may
be very materially reduced by trapping them.
They are very readily caught The little
wooden traps, with strong yoke rising over
round hole in the side, can be bought very
cheaply. They are rctailed for about cents
each, when having but one hole and for six
cents with two holes. Two or three dollars
will purchase a hnndred of the single-hole
traps These baited with a bit of cheese, or
cheese -rind, and distributed around an orchard,
will thin out the mice very rapidly. We have
q lot of them about the dwelling, garden, &c,
and find them more effectual, and less annoy
ing, Especially o nights than gang Of cats.

PREDICTED REMOVAL OF THE CAPIrAL FROM
WAsHINGroN.-The excitement of the past
few weeks has had most disastrous effect
upon real estate in the District of Columbia,
deprecating it at least twenty-five per cent,
with stiff downward tendency The cause
is two-fold. First, the failure of law at
Washington, and the license and impunity
which attend crimes against the persons of
Northern freemen have so disgusted Congress
that the removal of the capital to a Free
State has become point of fixed policy in
the eye of large majority of Northern
members. The idea may seem wild; and in
all probability, this intimation will be secuted
by many an opposition press; but / have no
hesitation in predicting the removal Of the
capital to the northwest at no very distant
day. unless revolution is affected in the
public sentiment, the Judiciary and the Jury
system of this District.
