CLEANSE loCB pan4I~Es The warm weather
is here. and it behooy,- every citizen to cleanse
his premises of al offensive matter in order that
they may become pure and healthy. There Is no
doubt a- all that great deal Of sickness visiting
families proceeds from filthy cellars, sinks. yards,
out-house> sites. Nc These things are neglect
cd hv many. as are other duties, from pure
thou-htie--ue~-, while others never dream Of
paying any attention to them. There are several
remedies for this most unhealthy condition Of
things that can be easily applied. The first is
To put one pint Of the liquor Of chloride of zinc
in one luckettul of water, and one pound Of
chloride OF lime i'm another bucketful of water,
add and sprinkle over dectyed vegetable matter
For this purpose nothing surpasses it; indeed it
Is "a perfect deodorzer. The second j. to take four
pounds of sulphate of iron or copperas and dis
solve i In buckettul of water This viii, in
most cases, prove "A sure remedy in destroying
all offensive odors. The third is to take simple
chloride of iron and sprinkle in damp cellars,
heaps of filth, dirty yards, &c.
The labor Of cleansing ones premises by either
one of these remedies is trifing, and the expense
is not worth mentioning. If it were ten times
greater, both the labor and expense should be
willingly incurred. Germant0irH Telegraph
New WAY To COLLECT OLD DEBrs.-On Tues
day Covington (Ky) merchant observed a
man passing his door who owed him $500. He
had often dunned the individual for the amount
and at times, too when he knew the latter had
money and could have paid him, but still the
claim remained unliqudated. On this occasion,
however, he determined to adopt new course
Instead of demanding payment he went to an
officer, and, pointing ont To him the delinquent
Debtor. told him that the latter had a large
amount Of counterfeit money in possession The
officer Immediately arrested the man and sent
him to jail, where he searched him. but, instead
of discovering counterfeit money, found about
- 600 in genuine creenbacks. The merchant
was close at hand, and while the money WIS in
the possession Of the officer he attached it, and
then secured his $500. When the alleged coun-
terfeter found he was victimized he was very
angry, and threatened to sue the merchant for
false arrest and imprisonment. but the latter
retorted by threatening to 20 to Cincinnati and
bring over a host Of other creditors, who would
pounce upon the remaining : 800 This was
sufficient, and the matter was dropped.
