A woman named Boursier, at Champlitte,

ers their retreat by her sense of smell, and
then attracts them to. the surface of the
gronnd by the aid of a liquor Of her own
composition. On their appearance she
squirts on their heads aan all portion of the
liquors. which stupefes them, and so they
are easily killed, Between the lst Of May
