RkTs-Tow TO FIX THEM.-Chloride Of lime has frequently proved sure ahing to drive rats away from any place infested by them. An ounce of it scattered in the place where they come to feed, or wrapped in a bit of muslin, and put in their holes, where it aquires dampuess, produces gas that is not offensive to man, but is to the rats. If chloride of lime is moistened with muriatic acid, and placed in s drain, vault or cellar, and closed from the air little while, the rats will depart, because it will be death to re- main. This is also good disinfectant, and will, for time, cure the efiiuyia of dead rat One application of chloride of lime to rat holes has driven them away tor a year, when q renewal of it started them again.

MEXICAN BEEs.-The honey bees os West Mexico and Honduras are very different from our own. There are fourteen distinct species of them, one of which makes small nest, or hive, of capsules, with a waxy covering like isinglass, filled with a delicious fluid gener- ally used in medicine An exchange says of them:
 The hives of these bees contain over 900 insects, smaller than ours, whereas those of Europe have from 10000 to 20,OO0 of much larger size; but the Mexican insect, which is stingless, is raised with very little trouble, and all the honey can be taken cut twice n the summer without disturbing the bees, as they are widely separated from the brood cells and honey sacks or bottles, which sack often measures seven inches in length by five in diameter, and the active little jokers con tinued on their labors as if nothing had hap pened The Mexican bee masters assert that their species have sentinel always placed over the entrance of each hive, which are re- lieved every few hours, to keep lookout for the armies of black ants, their worst enemies. Several of the hives of the Angel bees were brought to San Francisco from Mexico in 1853, but we know not what was done with them, though bee swarms were then selling from Sl00 to $200 apiece.

As EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IS lRELASD.- The Belfast papers describe an extraordinary scene before the house of the man Baird, in Monaghan, from which the Orapgemen re- gently fired upon their assailants. After the inquest on the body of Hughes, who died from the wounds then received, his friends made procession, carrying the remains in front of a hearse. When they arrived oppo- site Baird's the procession halted, as ty pre- vious concert, and the whole number, above 2,0O0 men, kneeling down, shouted Murder. murder,' and prayed maledictions upon Baird and his household |" For full twenty min utes,n the Belfast Nslss Letter says, "they cursed him and his family in a manner dread ful to listen to- They then got of their knees and the coffin was raised to the shoul- ders of the six young men who had previ Ously carried it. The hearse was again star ted, and the coffin bearers marched slowly after it, followed by large crowd.'
 The women took prominent part in the attack on the 0rangemen and in the breaking of the windows. They gathered stones from laneways near for the use of their male friends, and some were in attendance with hammers to break them, so as to make them fit for throwing" It is to the credit of several of the Roman Catholic priesthood of the town that they stroye to pursuade the Roman Cath olic mob not to attack the 0rangemen. At the graveyard the Rev Mr. Duffey, the par ish priest, addressed those assembled in a manner calculated to allay excitement. He had done his utmost to keep the people under his care from being engaged in any disturb ances, but his advice had not been attended to, and those who loved the danger mus, just perish therein" The military detach ment has been withdrawn from the town, anc all apprehension of a renewal of the riotinl has ceased

JOE JoNE5

Some heartless wretch has been poking his proboscis among the flowers of pocsy, and goes off in an agouizing parody on Ben Bolt in the following style:
 Don't you remember lame Sally, Joe Jonesy Lame Sally whose nose was so brown Who looked like a clam if you gave her a smile, And went into its at your frowny In the old goose pond in the orchard, Joe Jones, Where the goslings are learning Go swim, Lame Sally went fishing one wet, windy day, And there by mistake tumbled in. Under old Sims brush fence Joe Jones, That winds at the foot of the hill Together we've seen the old camel go round, Grinding cider at Appleton's mill; The mill wheel Is oven wood now, Joe Jones, The rafters fell on to COW, And the weasels and rats that crawl round as you
 gaze,
 Are the lords of the cider-nlll now. Do you mind the pig-pen of logs, Joe Jones, Which stood on the path to tue barny And the shirt-hutton trees, where they grew on
 the boughs,
 Which we sowed on our jackets with yarns The pig.pen has gone tO decay, Joe Jones, And the lightning the tree overcome; And down whefe the onions aud carrots once Grow thistles as big as your thumb. Don't you remember the school Joe Jones, And the master who wore the old wig And the shady nook by the crook Of the brook Where we played with Aunt Catherine's pigY Mice live in the masters wig, Joe Jones, The brook with the crook is now dry And the boys and the girls that were playmates
 then,
 Have all grown up ever so hlghl There Is change in the things love, Joe Jones, They have changed from the good to the bad And feel in my stomach, to tell you the truth, I'd Ike tc 20 home 90 my dad Twelve months, twenty, have passed, Joe Jones, Since I knocked ofi your nose with rail And vet I believe am your only true friend Joe Jones of the Hurricane Gale

GENERAL JACKSON AND GENERAL GRANT. General Grant has a sentinel marching in front of his house night and day. When his little boy twelve, years of age, rides to school every day. he is accompanied by two order lies in the uniform of the United States army. In referring to this, correspondent of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph relates the following incident of General Jackson's last visit to New Orleans:
 "The fatigucs of the day ended, the old hero repaired with many of the citizens, to apartments prepared for him in the magniii- cent structure, the St. Louis Hotel. The Captain of an Irish company detailed stall wart son of Erin as a sentinel at the GeneraIs s door. There he was walking his rounds, when the General observed him, and, turning to General Lewis, asked
 "What does this mean 2"
 "Only a sentinel at your door, General"
 I shall ever remember that look, and the exclamation, My God " as he strode up to the sentinel with manner which was the Generals only:
 My good man. said he, "wbat are you doing at my door with musket in your hands2n
 "The Captain placed me here as your guard, General"
