beat the rats, but he has dona is-suYe. A
it may be of some bsneft to other nsonIeswho
are building, we will tell how it was 5ona :.
When he built his cellar he excavatea tho
ground some two or three feet larger than
the outside of the cellar wall, and laid tn.
foundation, tight, with large fat stone two or
three feet further out, ell around, than the
outside of the wall, and then filled up solid
with earth as the wall was built. Rats will
dig down outside Of any cellar wall and ther
dig under it and get into the csllar--bu
whom Mr.. Rat gets to the bottom of Sam
Bowles's cellar wall he is not smart enough
to go in the opposite direction to get arount
this wall, and has to give it up. Mr.. Bowle
says he has found scores of holes around hi
house which had been dug by the rats, bu

if, at Davenport. 1t appears that some time
ago J. c. Conklin & Co, of Davenport, shipp-
cd three barrels of whisky on the Sterling 10
e customer in Jefferson City, Missouri, and
as allowed, Captain Powers reshipped the
freight ut St. Louis, on the steamer Post Boy,
and received clean bill of lading therefor.
When the customer received the barrels, it
was discovered that. by some means, vhiskey
to tie value lat the invoice price, of $500
was met there" Messrs. Conklin & Co.
were, of course, advised of it and they pro-
eseded against the boat to recover. Captain
Powers, who had nearly a full load for st.
Louis when the sheriff called, he's reshippsd
his freight and discharged his drew, and.
ike the Frenchman, is waiting to 'see what
he shall see." The Sterling is said to be
owned by Capt. Allen, of Port Byron.

THE PEOPLE PLEAsED.-Since the recent
changes made in the post masters in this
county, and the restoration of several Offices
TO their old locations, we have heard many
expressions of satisfaction from the . lopls. -
Some of the offices had been moved to very
inoouvenient localities, and their restoration
to their old places is a source of much salts
faction. II Is a qualification also to the PEG
pie to sse the Offices in the hands of people
who know thoir duty and do it. Post mas
tiers, aud their families, and their clerks, are
confidential mediums between the people
and sheir correspondents, and they should be
particularly careful never to gossip about
what passes through their Offices. Post mas
tiers and all persons who have any thing to
do with the mails should be very careful to
keep the secrets eff everybody and do their
business carefully, promptly and correct,
without Partially or parsizanship. By SO
doing they become the friend of everybody,
and not only render themselves popular, but
the administration whose agents they are.

MANCHESTER ITEMS.


Police mat tiers aredull-Constable and Chief
of Police Blunt reporting no arrests this week.
Our police, by their energy and industry, are
a terror to all evii-doers, and much praise Is
due them for the great quiet which our town
enjoys.
CLEANING Up THE TOWN.
The hands are very busy cleaning mp our
streets, removing nuisances, and making every
preparation for the sickly season. Let every
person bestir himself and put bis premises In
good condition. There are several spots in our
town which are still very inviting TO the cho'
lera or some other dread epidemic.
THE COMING ELECTIONS.
The election for trustees, which comes on
next Monday, Is the all absorbing topic OF In.
terest. We trust that the men best calculated
to promote the interests of the town Will be
selected, regardless Of personal feeling, whether
on the old ticket, the new one, or even II on no
ticket ut all. The office Is thankless one
paying nothing; the only perquisites which
attach to 1t being en- unlimited quantity oi
abuse, unless everybody is pleased and great
deal Is done with very little money. Let the
men who will do the greatest amount Of good
for the greatest number OF people at least ex-
pense be chosen, and all will be we'll IL does

number who are self sacri0cingly willing 10
serve the dear people. Let no man qualified
to vote fail to pay his taxes; which Is duty
incumbent on him TO assist In defraying the
town expenses !; and at the same time, without
this, no man can exercise the right Of suffrage
We understand that Mr.. A. A. Allen Is the
collector, and will be pleased TO receipt for all
sums paid in. 1t will save much unnecessary
trouble if they are paid before the day Of elec-
tion. We believe that the canvass has been
conducted in 4 very fair and generous spirit
and no matter who is successful there will be
no i'll feeling. To have differences on matters
of town policy is natural-it is an undoubted
right, and one to which no sensible man VIII
object We have no hesitation in saying that
any of the gentlemen named will do all in their
power to promote the best interests OF the
town and its people.
METHODIST CHURCH soIREB.
The ladies of the Methodist Church intend
having supper shortly, and we trust they
will be literally patronized. Their church
is in need of repairs, and we know that this
appeal to the generosity OF our people wiii
not be in vain. In addition to good supper
and delightful singing an evening spent Win
the ladies' who worship at this church coma
not fail to be interesting, and Is OF Nsei ah
inducenent which no one should resist and OF
itself worth more than double the admission

PROPOSED FESTIVAL.
We beg leave to propose to our lady friends
of the Baptist Church that they favor us with
another festival. The one last winter was
decided success and in looking back over our
checkered existence, we find but few brighter
spots in our memory and but few recoiiec.
tions more pleasant than the remembrance OF
that night. Let them commence early ana

THE FIRST CASE UNDER THE CIVIL Rights
aCT-It has already been stated That the iirst
case under the civil rights law came up the
clher day in Indiana, where colored man,
denied the right TO enforce contract by Il
state law, appealed TO the United States Court
for protection. The defendant pleaded mat
nnder the constitution of Indiana negro has
no right TO enforce contracts in the State. Inc
black man pleaded the first section OF the ciVii
rights act and the constitutional amendment :
The United States District Court Judge lesp
subseauently decided that the amendment 10
the Constitution abolishing slavery makes an
negroes citizens, virtually declaring void tne
thirteenth article of the Indiana State consul
tuition. In his opinion he says: :,

citizen of the United States-independent OF

right To sustain his action for his Work anu

or course the Judge SO decided. fine OF
one thousand dollars instructed hinl. We
hope the case will be taken to the Circuit
Court, and from that TO the Supreme Court OF
the United States. 1t is good case
