chasing the stock of Drugs, &c, Of Mr.. A. E.
RICHARDS, who retires from what appears to
be a very lucrative business on account of his

men well known to the community for their
attentive business habits, their proficiency and
skill, and for their polite and courteous demea~
nor in the social and business relations of life.
We wish them the full need of prosperity
which a course Of prudence, industry and rec
titude in their peculiar business (and which
course we feel assured will be pursued will
entitle them to receive.

Picayune says that the new church in the

Of Almighty God on the Goth inst. under the

We learn that the overseer's dwelling house
on Mrs. P. DUPUY's plantation, about six miles
down the bayou, was consumed by fire a few
nights since. We are told that the OverseeF

effects which the house contained, besides 49,.
900 in money. The fire was thought to be
the work of an incendiary. None of the in
mates were injured, though. it is said, the exc

the saving of anything else.

The meeting contemplated to be held in this
town on Saturday last, called by the opponents
of Hon. Thomas Green Davidson, for the pur~
pose of devising some means, we presume, to
promote greater harmony among the Democra-
cy of the Third Congressional District, proved
to be failure. We did not observe any gatho
ering at the courthouse, although there were
several nti-Davidson men in town. The
cause of there not being any meeting was the
fear among the antics we imagine, that the
Davidson men would be too numerous, and
therefore make all attempts on their (he an
ties) part, and in their aog to create harmo-
ny, futile and abortive.
We may be mistaken, but it seems to US,
that as the 3lst draws nigh, there is less ex-
element or interest about the Congressional
s~quabble, and consequently greater hopes
among his friends, that T: G. D. will not be
tripped up. Indeed, we begin to doubt that
there will be any Convention at all on the 3lst

FUNNY Rat TRAp.-A correspondent of the
Gcncscc Farmer relates the following funny way
of catching rats: "I build my corn-crib on
posts about eighteen inches high, made rat-proor
by putting board or sheet iron on the top of
the posts. Make everything secure against the
rats except the granary, and have this rat-prooi,
except at one of the corners. Here, where
they will like it best, make nice hole, with a
spout five inches long on the outside, where they
can 60 in and out and cat at pleasure. Then, if
the rats arc too numerous take a bag, after
dark, and slip the mouth over the spout on the
outside Of the granary. Then send Ben in at
the door with light, and the rats and mice
will run into the bag, Then slip the bag off
the spout, and slap it once or twice against tho
granary. Turn ollt the dead, and in an honr
or two repeat the process. After all arc killed.
stop up the hole till new recruits arrive, which
catch in the same way.
