Ma. EDrroR IL see in a late number of
your paper that some person wishes to
know how to destroy Ground Moics. !
can inform him now il may be easily
done. Mole- will travel their track once
oroitencr in every twenty-four hours. UNI
al the track is filed up or destroyed by
rain or some other cause. Take a little
shclled corn and soak il in water for
twelve or fourteen hours. just before
night, take it out, raise the heart with the
point Of a knife, put little arsenic under
il, andpress il back. About sunset 90 over
the field, and in the freshest mole track
make hole every fifteen or twenty stems.
Just large enough to putone grain Inlay a
clod Of dirt over the hole to darken IL
and more or less Of the corn will be eaten
before morning.
Follow this course up, and you will soon
be without moles. +. i. q.

true and faithful to his clients. lie, is
a true and genuine Democrat-was raised

SrNHntr.-The Raymond Ga,ste says,
among the first orders made Wy the new
Board o. police Of Kinds county. was one
providing for the publication Of all pro
ceedings Of the Board.
This Is what should be done Nv our new
Board, The people Of Alfalfa never have
an opportunity Of learning what their
Board Of Police did at every sitting. except
Wy enquiring Of the members or actual cxa-
mination ofthc minutes.-AHilr Dfp,n-raf.
Nothing would prove more interesting
to the people than the publication Of what
Is done respecting the local and county
matters which came within the purview
ofthc Boards Of Police, and no intclligcn,
Tax payer would object To the trifling ex-
penso attending il. We hope the Board
Of this county, and others, will think Of
tho matter, and conclude 20 adopt th'
suggestion.

SITTING IN CHURCH.-An American in
London writes that in the churches there,
whoever comes first, whether gentleman
or lady. takes the further seat in the slip,
and those that follow fill up the remain
ing seats, and thus prevent the awkward
disturbance which occurs in our churches
here in the process of filling out and in
by men in order to isolate women at the
further end Of the pew. 1t is said the
habit so UNIVERSAL among us originated
with the early settlers, who sat near the
doors of the pews so that in case of Al
attack by the Indians they might be
ready for action. In many instances thi,
marching out and in like aparcei of sol
dicrs is a perfect nuisance, and the Gus
tom might well be changed.

We have seen somewhere an estimate
of the amount of money there is in ne
groes at present prices, and were forcibly
impressed with the idea that such invest
ments won't pay. Say the negro costs
$500; interest ON this amount is Sl20:
food and clothing S75; doctors bill $40 /:
wear and tear of land $50; expense for
horseand agricultural implements Sl0O-
making a total of S525. Against this
place five bags Of cotton, full average.
$3.50: corn wheat, &c, $50 more-malling
a total of $500. This estimate, though it
may not be correct in every particular, we
are sure is not far wrong and fully auth
orizes the opinion that buying negroes on
credit at present prices, with the expecta-
ton Of paying out by raising cotton, is a
poor business.-HayaewHc Chronicle.
