FACT WORTH KNowISG.-" Fly time
is fast approaching, and those troublesome
little insects will soon make thoir appearance
in such numbers as to annoy housckccpcrs
almost out of thoir wits. Rcpclling invasion
seems TO be the watchword, and while the ual,
liant men Of the South orc up in arms to drive
back the increasing hordes of tho North that
threaten to sweep down upon us, let not our
gentle housewives forgot to arm themselves
against this equally pcstfcroas invader of
their homes. Fortunately the, weapons, in
this case arc moro simple, though equally as
successful as cannon and rifles, Take three
on four onions and boil them well in pint of
water, and then brush the liquid over your
glasses and francs, and the flies will not light
in smelling distance of them. The recpa is
a safe one, and will do no injury toyour fur
