A Fact worth Knowing.

! "Fly timen is fast approaching,
and those troublesome little insects
will soon make their appearance, in
such numbers as to annoy housekeep-
ers almost out Of wits. Repelling in
yasion seems to be the watchWord,
and while the gallant men ofthe South
are up in. arms 10 drive back the in;
creasing hordest Of the North, that
threaten 10 sweep down upon us, let
not ong gentle housewives forget to
arm themselves against this equally
pestiferous invader Of their homes.
Fortunately the weapons in this case
are more simple though equally as
successful as cannon and rifles, Take
three or four onions and boil them
well in a piutof water, and then brush
the liquid over your glass and
frames, and the flies will not light
in smelling distance of them. The
recipe is a safe one and will do no in
Jury to yonf furniture.

abide the full penalty. Especially let
Maryland and Virginia look toit; for
as they are greater sinners, 50 their
punishment will be heavier than that
of others. Virginia is a rich and
beautiful State, the very garden ofthe
Confederacy.i It has property in
houses, in<lands, in mines, in forests.
in country and in town, which will
need to be taken possession of and
equitably cared for. Tile rebels of
