DEsTROYI!;G RATs.-At this season
of the year, when cellars are crowd.
ed with fruits, vegetables and all kinds
OF winter stores rats often become
an intolerable nuisance, which must
be abatcd. Poisoning may afford a
temporary relief but in the end tho
remedy IS worse thau the disease,
for the rats, after eating the poison,
crawl into inaccessible corners to
die, and the house is soon filed with
their offensive and unwholcsone
odor. They may be driven from n
dwelling infested with them, by sdt-
ting in q measure Of meal, steel
trap, and covering it lightly with
the meal, atiiXing it to small chain
attached to a spring pole, with tie
trap so arranged that when the rat
pulls the trap wall be drawn up by
the pole, the rat thus caught, vii.
warn his fellows by piercing squeals
Of the terrible punishment awaiting
them, and the premises will be vaca,
ted for season. but they arc liable
to return, and the last state of that
house is worse than the first.
When Il boy my father sent me
into the cellar 30 get some apples
from bin which had not been ope.s
cd, as the fruit being an extra keep
ing variety, had been reserved for
spring use, On returning, ] set thG
family into Il burst of laughter by re,
porting that S'the hogs had gone ur
the drain and chcwed the aTplcs als
to pieces. 5" The apples ,cere destroy.
ed. but rats instead Of hogs had been
the depredators. A large kettle was
carried into the cellar, and half filled,
With water, then % thick covering
Of oats poured over the surface.
and short board placed with one
end on the ground and tho Other
against the side ofthc kettle, and an.
other narrow strip laid across the
top Of the kettle in close proximity
to the end of the board running
from the ground to the kettle In
the morning twelve quarts of rats
by actual measurement, were tax en-
from the kettle, and not even No,
ahian rat escaped from the food to.
disturb the serenity of our rcpose.

Hung be the heavens in black. .r-SH


For some months past the most scan.
dalous rumors have been afloat in this
community in regard to the liasoas Of a
certain physician with divers Rynpks du
4frigue; but it was not until within the
last few weeks that the evidence in
regard to the conduct of the gentleman
became so abundant and Overwhelming
has not only to satisfy the public in re-
gard to its truthfulness, but to disgust
every one by its open and scandalous
beastliness.
The physician alluded TO has an Office
in the second story of building not a
square from the Kenyon House, in she
most public part of the city; and as the
stairway entrance is on the outside,
passers-by. during all hours Of the night
noticed ladies of African descent, going
To and from the Doctors office. An in
vestigation took place by members of an
institution of which the Doctor was an
unworthy member, and the proof being
positive and overwhelming, he confessed
his guilt, and begged not to be exposed
spublicfy.N But rs his conduct was al
ready knownto halfthe people ntown,
and hearing rumOrs that some of the
b'hoys were arranging TO give him free
ride on wooden horse, he deemed 1t
prudent to depart hence without even
saying good by TO his friends! st
Being an intensely loyal" man, il Is
not strange that this disciple of Esen-

his party condurc to such dark associa-

least two African bellies are left ina con-

The following, which has come to my
notice, appears 50 extraordinary that
you may think it worth noting in your
paper: A native policeman, few days
ago, shot tigress. On taking the skin
of and cutting the body up, no less
than eight bullets were taken out OF
different parts Of her body. This in.
eludes the one (and only one) bullet
which the constable fired and killed the
tigress with. Thus il appears that shs
must have carried these seven bullets
for some time without feeling any appa.
rent inconvenience, so much 80 that she
was strong enough to supply her lardeI
with fresh meat on al average once q
week. One Of the seven bullets is two
ounce ball, and / know the Individual
who fired this shot at her. The bullet,
are equal in weight to fourteen rupees
four annas in silver. As am ia the
Jungle, have no more accurate mean.
Of ascsrtaining their weight. The skir
of the tigress, which have seen, bear,
on it a number Of Old wounds, aud ths
eight bullets have nov in my i,osses
sion. To take one or two old ,bnilets
from the body Of a tigress Is by M
means an unfrequent occurrence in tbi,
country, but eight beats everything
ever heard Of The tisfess was a man
eater, and, from the number Of timel
she had been fired at and wounded and
yet not killed, wasr snpposed by the
natives to bear . charmed life.

Extraordinary LongeYity.


The editor of the Mercury has found
woman in Newport one hundred and
twelve years of age. He says of her:
Boarding with Mrs. Decatur, in the
court south of the Clarendon House is a
colored woman named Patty Thomas.
She was born in Charleston, South Car
olino, some twenty-five or three years
before the Revolution. Her mother was
slave in the family of William Elliott,
who owned three plantations, but re-
resided in the city. Patty was seam
stress, and from her childhood until she
was given her freedom, devoted her
whole time to this occupation, except
when caring for the children. When
she was twenty-one years of age she
married Adam Young, and was blessed
with five children, all of whom are
dead. Patty speaks of the beautiful
daughters of her master-One ofwhom
married Col. Morris, and the other Gen.
Huger-as being kind TO her, and ever
ready to shield her from the threatened
punishments of her mother, and says
she knew nothing of slavery until she
came North, some fifty years since. She
then resided in New York, and was con-
stantly employed as nurse, which occu-
patton she followed until she was sew
enty years of age, when the decendenta
of her mistress, in compliance with Il
dying request, provided home for her
and supplied her wants; and the seventh
generation, more than sixty yeas of age,
by the name of Courtney. is now per-
forming the sacred duty. Patty says
she is beginning to grow old, and thinks
she has no chance of again marrying, as
she has lost the sight one eye, and she
don't believe any man wants wife who
is likely to provide dirty food but
with the exception of this failing of
sight, she is as well as at any time in
her life, of course not as active, but
walks half mile each pleasant Sunday
to Church.

Very Good.

A friend of ours explains the present
system of raising revenue as follows:
Now, you see, in the first place they
git the hang of feller's business. That's
taxed. Then they find out how much
he earns every month, and that's taxed,
Then they find ont all about his profits,
and on that they lay their tax. Then
they manage to get some tax on what
he owes. Next comes what they call in
come. and that's taxed. Then if any
thing is left the preacher calls round
and gets il to sustain the church and
convert the heather. Finally, in comes
the committee appointed by the Poor
Peoples Charitable and Benevolent So
ciety. All they do is smelling out our
empty pockets"

ONCE on a time, not long ago, not so

ONCE on time, not long ago, not so
far from Millersburg as it might be, a
good-hearted man and his long-tongued,
style-talking wife, attended a social
patty. Almost every three minutes his
wife would check her husband thus:
-"Now, William, don't talk SO loud
"Come, William, don't lean back in
the chair that way"
"Now, William, don't get noisy over
there"
"Say, william,ile the girls alone,
and sit by mew
At last forbearance cease to be vir-
tue, and the husband. who was really
pitied by all in the room, rose and
said:
- beg pardon of the company; but
as my wife insists on being boss all
the time, it is quite right she should
have these"
And he deliberately took off his pants,
handed them to her, and sat down in his
boots and drawers.
The company was astonished: the
woman burst into tears; the happy
couple soon went home; but neither OF
them wore pants.
How the affair was settled we can not
tell, but the last time we saw William
he had the pants on. We are inclined
to think she will not again boss in COM
pany in a hurry.-Hoimes County co.

was killed in his own yard by some per-
son unknown, but supposed to be 9
negro man with whom he had quarreled,
and who once belonged to Mr.. Warfield,
and who was arrested for the offense'
Out of this occurrence there grew up a
personal misunderstanding, which re-
suited in the almost simultaneous shoot

To one of the Oldest and most distin-
