Rats-HoW to Fix Tham.

Chlorida of lime has frequently proved
a sure thing to drive rats from any place
infected by them. An exchange says -
An ounce of il scattered in the place
where they come to feed, or wrapped in a
bit of muslin and put in their holes
where it acquires dampness, produce a
gas that is not offensive to man, but is to
rats. If chloride of line is moistened
with muraitic acid, and placed in drain,
vault or cellar, aud closed from the air a
little while, the rats, will depart, because
it will be death, to remain. This is also
a good disinfcctant, and will for time
cure the efiluvia of dead rat. One ap-
plication of chloride of lime to rat holes
has driven them away for year, when .
renewal of it started them again.

Fossil IYerY.

Among the resources of our new terri
tory Of Alaska, its richness in fossil ivory
is not the least in importance. Several
localities are known to abound in this
substancc-the tusks of the mammoth,
or hairy fossil elephant. The ivory of
which these are composed is of fine quail
ity, and for many purposes, equal, if not
superior, to that of the living elephants
This substance is, however, better known
as a product of Siberia, where trade in it
has been carried on for hundreds Of years.
The tusks obtained weigh from 100 to
$50 pounds, becoming smaller to the
northward but increasing in number at
the same time, SO as to excite the pro-
foundest astonishment The surface of
the ground of one of the Lachow Islands
is said to the completely covered with
mammoth bones Tusks have been
brought thence for hundreds of years,
without apparently reducing the supply
in the least. About 10000 pounds arc
collected annually in the new Siberia, re
presenting at least 800 mammoths, so that
in the 200 years Of trade with that coun-
try the tusks of GO, 600 animals must have
been collected. Some of the tusks are
SO large as to render it impossible to re-
move them except in pieces. They arc
found lying either on the surface Of the
ground or beneath it, sometimes buried in
the bogs, or heaped up along the mouths
of rivers, covered with sand, or frozen in
the cliffs by sea. Entire skeletons occur
sometimes singly, at others aggregated
as if an entire herd had been suddenly
destroyed. The country, in many places
is said to resemble, with its scattered, un
buried skeletons and bones, vast battle
field.

Terrible Hail Storm in Texas.

The San Antonio E.rpresS, of May 21
gives the following particulars of the late
disastrous hail storm: = Our city is 6
perfect wreck; every house in it has re-
ccived some damage; many are in com.
plete ruins, with nothing but fragments
OF walls standing. The hail stones pene-
trated the best roofs, going through the
roofs like cannon balls. All the windows
facing north have been smashed in =
even window shutters and doors were
broken down. The appearance of the
city could not have been worse under a
severe bombardment.
Trees are stripped of their leaves and
branches, which lie piled up in the yards
and streets : the sides of houses exposed
to the hail have the appearance of having
withstood thousand discharges of grape
and canister. The roofing of the entire
city is perforated like sieve. The hail
stones were of irregular shape and all
sizes, as if mass of ice had broken above
our devoted heads and driven by a tor
nado to the earth One hailstone was
found weighing over five pounds, while a
great many as large as mans fist were
picked up.
Many of the families whose houses
were beaten down took shelter under beds
and tables, and thus escaped bodily harm.
We have only heard of one death, ne
gro boy; several had limbs broken and
were severely bruised, while the whole
population was almost frightened to
death.
The damage is of every character, and
$500, 900 will not cover it all; roofs were
universally destroyed and windows broken
in, household furniture was entirely de-
molished in some houses, and in many
stores the damage was great. The Men
ger House was greatly damaged. The
Kleapper House is almost wreck. The
Convent buildings are terrible cut up
All the blinds and window glass on the
northern side are destroyed. Trenches S
building suffered greatly, and, in fact, all
buildings having windows to the north.
General Mason's residence was unroofed
and his family exposed to the inclement
storm. But the most distressing picture
of all are the habitations of the poor peo-
pie, their houses battered in, household
goods destroyed, and their little gardens
ruined. The corn patches and gardens
are fattened to the ground, and have the
appearance of having passed through a
chopping mill. All the fruit crop is de-
stroyed,
i ne storm resembled a terrible battle,
the lightning flashing in fearful vividness,
the thunder crashing like thousand can
non and the hail falling like shot; so
fearful was the noise that no one could
hear unless they screamed in each others
ears. Never in the history of this city,
never in the memory of the Oldest inhab-
liant, was just such storm experienced.
We learn that the hail storm COM
menced eight miles this side of New
Braunfels, reached only short distance
below our city, and extended from FIVE to
twenty-five miles in width, destroying
every thing over region thirty miles
from north to south and ten to twenty
miles from east to west.

party which had proved SO true to ma
tional duty in time of war, should speak
so clearly in time of peace for the main
tenance untarnished of the national hon.
or, national credit and good faith as re-
CARDS its debt, the cost of national exist
ence. l do not need to extend this reply
| by further comment on platform which
has elicited such hearty approval through
out the land. The debt of gratitude it
acknowledges to the brave men who saved
the Union from destruction, the frank
approval of amnesty based on repentance
and loyalty, the demand for the most
thorough economy and honesty in the
Government, the sympathy of the party
of liberty with all throughout the world
who longed for the liberty we enjoy, and
the recognition of the sublime principles
of the Declaration of Independence, and
worthy of the organization, on whose
banners they are to be written in the
coming contest. Its past record cannot
be blotted out or forgotten. If there had
been no Republican party, Slavery would
to-day cast its baleful shadow over the re-
public. If there had been no Republican
party, free press, and free speech would
be as unknown from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande as ten years ago. IF the
Republican party could have been strick-
en- from existence when the banner of
Rebellion was unfurled, and when the
response of No Coercion was heard at
the North, We would have had no nation
to-day. But for the Republican party
daring to risk the odium of tax, and draft
laws, our flag could not have been kept
flying in the field until the long hoped
for victory came. Without Republican
party the Civil Rights bill = the guaran-
tee Of equality under the law to the hum
BILE, and the defenseless, as well as to the
strong - would not be to-day upon our
National Statute book. With such inspi-
ration from the past, and following the
example of the founders of the Republic,
who called the victorious General of the
Revolution to preside over the land his
triumphs had saved from its enemies, l
cannot doubt that our labors will be
crowned with success; and it will be a
success that shall bring restored hope,
confidence, prosperity, and progress South
as well as North, West as well as East,
and above all, the blessings under Provi-
dence of National concord and peace.
Very truly yours,
SCHUYLER CoLFAX.

I. O. o. +, of Pennsylvania.

The Pittsburg Post comments as fol-
lows upon the annual session of the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, which was lately
held in that city:
The marked and distinguish attention
of the Brotherhood in Pittsburg, and in
fact Allegheny county, is acknowledged
by all the Grand Officers and members of
the Grand Lodge, who have shown their
appreciation of the kinkness and hospi-
tlity extended in various ways. The in
fiuence which the session in our midst
and the department of the visitors from
abroad, will exert in this portion of the
great Jurisdiction Of Pennsylvania will be
incalculable, and will have its full fiscal
effects upon the city and its surrounding
for periods yet to come.
The report of the order exhibit sue
cess unparalleled in its history, there be-
ing no less than sixty-six thousand mem
bers in this State, while there are
over two hundred thousand in the Uni
ted States. To these now can be added
the lodges in the Canadas and the Sand
wich Islands. Recent information from
Australia has demonstrated the fact tha,
the large Brotherhood from that remote
regions numbering some five Thousand
members, desire to affiliate and be admit
ted under the jurisdiction of the Crane
Lodge of the United States.
We doubt not that the time is not fal
distant when the entire earth shall ex
perience the influence of the sound doc
trines and pure principles of Odd Fellow
ship, as commanded by the kind an,
genial instruction contained in its man,
lessons of Friendship, Love and Truth !

A strange scene occurred on the farm
of Mr.. John Mclean, Bruce township,
N. Y. Three men were at work in o.
field when they observed two eagles ON
the wing, apparently fighting. They
alighted on the ground near by. Joseph
Graham made for the scene Of action, and
boldly threw himself upon the feathered
combatants, seizing hold of one in each
hand. They then quit fighting and turn
ed on their captor. One seized him by
the toe of his boot, the other took firm
hold of his pants and smock, as he was in
"a STOPPING posture. Graham thinking
this more than good fun, cried Justify for
help. August Mclean speedily came to
the rescue. While removing the talons of
one them from Graham's clothes, the 9TH
er turned upon Mclean and buried his
claw in his arm. However, both eagles
were secured and are now in one cage,
restored to peace and harmony. The fe-
male measures six feet seven inches from
tip to tip. The male, which is larger,
spreads at least seven feet.

POWDER EXPLOSION.
SMITH AND RAND's NEwBURG MILLS
BLOWN UP.

SMITH AND RAND'S NEwBURG MILLS
BLOWN UP.
y Ncwburg letter of the 3rd says: At
exactly 6 O'clock this morning, the grain
ing mill blew up, the fire shooting with
great violence across the dam to the glaz-
ing mill, and In five seconds thereafter
that was also blown to fragments. The
foundation Of the graining mill was
scooped out as though with a shovel
Huge sticks of timber were thrown thro'
the air for quarter Of mile, small trees
were uprooted, and hurled a long distance,
while larger and older trees were entirely
stripped Of le aves and branches, and their
trunks blackened and charred. At the
foot of trees numbers of dead birds were
found, having been killed by the shock,
and an iron shaft, four inches in dame
ter, 10 feet long, was bent almost double,
while a portion 15 feet long was broken
off and hurled over 400 yards. For more
than quarter of mile the ground is
strewu with the debris Huge timbers,
blackened aud splintered with powder,
heavy and long limbs of trees, and in
many instances whole trees, ragged and
torn, block the paths and roads leading
to the spot. A storage building distant
150 yards from the graining mill, was
badly shattered. 1t contained three tons
of powder, which did not ignite.
at the time of the occurrence there
was only one man in the graining mill
and none in the others. His name was
Adam Schosser, a German. He had
been in Messrs. Smith d Rand's service
for several years, and was considered
perfectly trustworthy. He had often as
serted that he knew his business too
well to be blown up. He was un-
doubtedly blown high in the air, some
suppose 1000 feet. His head and shoul-
ders were found at distance of 500
yards from the spot where the explosion
occurred, manglcd and torn beyond re-
cognition. An arm was found lodged in
the crotch of tree, while for distance
of a quarter of mile pieces of flesh and
bone and parts of his limbs were found
strewn along the ground and hanging to
limbs of trees. All the parts found were
collected and placed in a barrel.
The shock in Newburgh was terrific
Houses were shaken to their foundations
and in many places windows were shat.

and looking toward the spot where the
explosion occurred, huge column Of
smoke and dust was seen to shoot up.

A vast ring of smoke whirled far up and
gradually widening in area. Had the
explosion occurred one hour later, the
! loss of life would have been fearful, as at

works commence labor.
j The quantity of powder burned was
five tons. The mills are situated about
four miles south of Newburgh, on the
road leading to Walden, Orange county
