To ExPEL EARTHwoRM-.- In answer to
the query in last months Basket, "P-nn
sylvania" writes: We have not proved
the common earthworm destructive 10
pot.planls, but have somelimts wa'pred
them with weak lime water-a small tie,
cupful to plant in a 2 qt. pot, and in
less than twenty four hours have found a.
least three kinds secured in the saucers
below, frequently in great numbers. The
appearances Of some Of them made it
quite satisfactory 10 have them removed
flom the tender roots. If they are not
destroyed by the operation, it is of i'm
portance to displace them meIiately
after disturbing the pot. as they will often
crawl back on finding their hiding pace
discovered.
How MUCH MANuRE?- Mr.. Boynton, of
Sandwich, Mass, has well drained mead
ow of Al acres, to which, every November
he applies the years manure Of Is lor.
ses. AS The result, he gels fom 26 to
81 tuns Of hay annually, including two
cuttings. The second growth, or after
math, ranges from to 10 tuns.
PROTECTING TREES FROM SHEEP. &C.
Jackson. Niagara Co., N. Y. writes that
young trees may be protected from sheep
which sometimes nibbe and injure the
bark by applying to the trunks mixture
of four quarts of hog manure with eight
quarts OF wafer. Put 1t on with broom
brush-the sheep will prefer nihbiiug the
grass, and the application will not injure
the trees.
CURE FOR GAPES.-J. w, Rockwell.
Fairfield Co., Conn, writes that gapes i'll
fowls may be prevented by mixing cay-n-
ne pepper with their iesd, tablespoon
full to pint of meal. as soon as they
are observed to sneeza. Previous to
adopting this remedy, lie lost nearly all
his chickens, but for Two years past in
which it has been tried, all have been rails
ed.
SHOOTING RATs--ALso WORRYING THEN
Our. IS. Paschol, Of Chester Co., Penn,
re commends shooting few, and says the
res. will leave. Wool should BE- used
for gun wadding to avoid fire, and great
care should he taken, as many barns lave
been set on fire with guns used in killing
rats. This method has often proved 4f'
fectual, but few persons can afford the
time to watch. wait for and shoot the
pests .-ED. )-Iu another case Mr.. 2
worried them out, by stopping up all new
hoes as soon us made, except one b fore
which steel trap was placed. The rats
got disguised aud quit.

POST OFFICE ESPIONAGE.

! have been 10th to believe what have
often heard broadly stated here, namely,
that the letters passing through the
Charleston Post Office were anything but
sacred. From circumstances that have
just come TO my personal knowledge, l
have no hesitation In saying that there
exists at the present moment Committee
within the walls Of the United States Post
Office, which has been organized for the
purpose Of supervising all Northern cor
respondence. The "high-toned" gentle
men of Charleston have stopped to tam.
per with the mails. That which, under
the law, is punishable with imprisonment
and hard labor. is. in spite of the law,
practised in wholesale aud reckless man.

DISTRESS AMONG THE WORKING GLASSES.
The working classes are getting into a
worse position every day. The demand
for labor is decreasing every hour. The
prices of provisions will be largely increas'
ed within The next week, and these two
tangible and very foicible facts are more
likely than anything else to bring the
natio lal troubles to settlement.
