A FAMILY INVADED BY RATS.

4 couple Of nights ago a small army of
rats, seemingly met together by concert,
created no small sensation in the house of
poor woman on Elizabeth street, by a
very singular proceeding. The woman was
lying in bed asleep with her two little ones,
wien she was aroused by the screams Of
the children. On awaking she was horri-
fed TO find the bed fairly covered with rats,
while the floor of the room was almost black
with them. Her children ut her side were
screaming wildly, not alone through terror,
but through pain also, for the vermin had
seized them by the nose, ears, aud cheeks,
and were rapidly settipg themselves down
on every part of their faces. OF course,
With mothers instinct, the woman imme-
diately rescued heslittle ones, while the
rats seampered off in all directions and
quickly disappeared. The faces of the
children were cut and bleeding in several
places, and the wounds on the nose of one
of them were considered so serious that DR..
Lawlor was called in, and in his hands tbs
little ones have been well cared for and arc
now doing well. 1t was supposed that the
invasion was caused by the heavy rains
which prevailed at the time, which, food
ing the drains and other places in which
the rats make their homes, drove them out
and forced them to seek food and shelter
elsewhere. Had the children been alone
they would certainly have been eaten alive,
as the rats were around them in hundreds,
and would shortly have attacked their
| tEroats, when death would have resulted in
a few minutes - Toronto Telegraph.

A COOP TEsT.-In consideration Of tho
fact that frequent explosions in coal oil,
kerosene, etc, are of almost daily occur
renee, endangcring life and property, tho
following simple method of testing the pure
(uon-explosive) from the impure and mix
ed (explosivo) article, may be of benefit to
persons who are obliged to use coal oil in
stead of gas. 1t is stated that the oil used
for the 'head light or reflector of an en-
CINE, is mixture of pure refined coal oil
and lard. In order to prevent explosions,
it is highly necessary to use the pure arti-
Gle of coal oil. To ascertain whether the
latter is pure, a quantity is poured out up
on board or fiat piece of stone or iron, and
a piece of burning paper applied to It, If
the oil takes fire, and burns, creating a
flame, it is pronounced an adulteration aud
unfit for use. On the other hand pure oil
will not burn in the open air, when thus
tested, its safety may be relied upon In
this manner large quantities for railway
purposes are tested The hint is worthy
the attention of consumers of coal OIL All
the kerosene or refined coal oil that will
not stand the above test, ought to be prompt
ly excluded from every household.-Nor-
folk Iirginidn.

JloosENING GROUND GLASS SroppLy.

LoosENING GROUND GLASS STopPLgs.
the ground glass stopplos OF
bottles become, from one cause or another,
fixed in the neck, and cannot be removed
by pulling or torsion. An effectual method
is to wrap rag wet with hot water around
the neck and let it remain few seconds !;
the heat will expand the neck of the bot
tie, when the stopple can be removed before
the heat penetrates the bottle itself Or
wind a string once or twice around the neck
and holding the bottle between the knees,
pull alternately on one and the other end,
thus creating friction, and consequently
heat. Or a little camphenc oil dropped be-
tween the neck and stopple of the bottle
will often relieve the stopple.

The Mercantile Times gives the follow
ing seasonable rules for young men COM
mencing business:
The world estimate men by their success
IN lite--and by general consent, success is
az evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstances, assume
a responsibility you can avoid consistently
with your duty TO yourselves and others.
Base all your actions upon principle of
right; preserve your integrity of character,
and, in doing this, never reckon the cost.
Remember that sclf-interest is more like
" to warp your judgment than ALI other
circumstances combined therefore look well
toyour DUTY when your interest is concerned.
Never make money at the expense of your
reputation.
Be neither lavishing or niggardly. OF
the two, avoid the latter. A mean man is
universally despised, but public favor is a
stepping-stone to Observation-Disclosures ce-
nerous feelings should be cultivated.
Say butlittle-think much--and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is a
friend in need
Keep clear of the law, for even if you
gain YOU are generally loser Of money.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and cigar smoking are
bad habits. They impair the mind and
pocket, and lead to waste of time.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT-MAN KILLED.
AT the new railroad bridge now being E.
rected at Pugh's Run, in Shenandoah coun-
ty, on Thursday afternoon last, about o.
clock, a dreadful accident occurred by which
DAVID GRUBB, Of Rockingham county, was
instantly killed. He was employed on the
bridge, and had gone up to adjust one Of
the top plates, when some of the fastcnings
gave way, precipitating the unfortunate man
a distance of about 60 feet, the falling tim
bers breaking both legs and crushing his
bead and skull, producing instantaneous
death The body was horribly crushed
and mangled, the vital spark being extin-
guished before reaching the ground The
remains of the young man were brought to
Rockingham, we learn, for burial He had
lived and has friends living near Port Re-
public He is n young man, and is repre-
sentod as very superior mechanic.
Several other workmen engaged on the
bridge at tho time Of the accident, escaped
death by clinging to portion Of the frame

Step 10y step the journeys taken,

Il pom the hills the wind is sharp and coid,
Inc sweet young grasses wither on the void
Aud we, y Lord have wandered from Thy fold
But evening brings us home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rock:
mere the brown lehen whitens, aud the fox
Watches the straggler from the scattered aocks
But evening brings us home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts,
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts

ing item Of curious information from an EN-
iDent citizen Of that State:
"a very singular fact occurred in rcla-
ton 10 the freedmen on one Of the river
plantations below Natchez There were
ninety hands on The place, aud they collec-
ted together, and resolved that freedom was
great humbug, and sent a delegation OF
their number 70 the military commander
nearest their locality, petitioning to be re-
manded again into slavery They feared
starvation under tho reign Of freedom
Their opinion was, that az military men had
freed them so they could easily re-enslavo
