RATs-How TO FIX THEM Chloride
of lime has frequently proved sure
thing to drive rats from any place in
feeted by them. An exchange says :
An ounce of it scattered in the place
where they come to feed, or wrapped
in muslin and put in their holes where
it acquires dampness, produces gas
that is not offensive to man, but to rats
If chloride of lime is moistened with
acid, and placed in drain, vault or eel
lar and closed from the air a little
while the rats will depart, because it will
be death to remain. This is also a good
disinfectant, and will, for time cure
the effiuvia of a dead rat. One appli-
cation of chloride of lime to rat holes
has driven them away for year, when
a renewal of it started them agin.

eighty years arrived at Warwick, bring
ing intelligence of the missing young
man. 1t seems that Quackenbush was
robbed in New York city after selling his
cattle, and in desperation at his loss, he
shipped for California He went to the
mines and formed an association with two
young men to care for each other in sick
ness and during life, and to share each
others fortunes in case of death. When
the gold fever broke out in Australia, the
trio went thither, and labored together
with success. Last year, however, Mr..
Quackenbush's associates died, and as
their heir, under the agreement, he found
himself possessed of about $35, 900. He
determined to return to his early home,
and gathering up his treasures, sailed for
Liverpool There he was taken sick and
died last spring. The aged messenger
referred to, was stopping at the same
house with Mr.. Quackenbuth, and as he
intended to come to this country as soon
as he could arrange his affairs, to him was
entrusted the duty of informing the rela-
tives of Mr. Quackenbush, in Warwick.
He was received there at first with suspi-
cion but he produced satisfactory refer
ences, and the family have taken steps to
recover the fortune which awaits them in
England.

REMARKABLE PHENoMENA.-The Am
herst Mass Student tells the following
singular story: The rock in Mr.. Ffynt's
granite quarry at Monson, Mass, has
been playing some curious freaks lately.
Several weeks since sheet of rock, one
foot thick and fifty feet square, lifted
itself into the air and broke into pieces
with noise like that of cannon. The
explanation seems to be that the rock to
that depth had been expanded by the
heat, and the frequent passage over it of
10 Tded teams caused it to become brittle,
as does iron or steel by long hammering,
and at last it had not tenacity enough to
hold it in its bed. Another remarkable

more than one foot in twenty. This rock
moved one and one-half inches, and an
other strip, one hundred and fifty -four
feet long, moved half an inch.
