Some years ago, the State of Iowa was
nearly overruu By gophers; but at last it
was discovered that the castor bean was
an effectual remedy, and its use very
much reduced the number of this mis-
chievous pest. The method is, to plant
the bean oil over the land, about one bean
to the square rod. 1t is supposed that
the gopher is fond of the root, and eats
it and that it acts like "a physic or slow
poison. At any rate it exterminates the
gophers. Whether it operates the same
with squirrels or whether any efeetual
remedy has been discovered for them we
are not informed, but hope if our readers
know Of any, they will inform Us, and thus
benefit al. -Prdrte Farmer.

Congress Improving.

In letter dated Washington City,
April 10, Joshua Il Giddings says;
at is due to my junior associates to
say, there is less intoxicaton aud less ap-
pearanoe Of vice among the members of
the present, than of any other Congress
with whom have associated. 1t is now
the 9th mouth OF the session, and | have
neither seen uor heard of Intoxicating
liquors being brought to the Capitol or
kept there, nor, with two exceptions. have
l seen any member on the Republican
side of the Hall, give evidence of nitox-
ication. 1t is true, however, that men of
observation, with whom have conyersed;
uniformly attribute this Improvement,
in great degree, to the fact that almost
every member is attended by some por-
ton of his family, aud that man has lived
to little purpose, VINO, at the age of 40,
fails to notice the salutary aud sanctify-
ing influence Of the domestic circle.
Northern society is already exertipg its
moral power upon Washington City, and
upon the councils of the nation.
