Some OF those who escaped made their wayto
two pahs, Jerusalem and IIuki and the rebels
then divided into three parties. The main party
attacked the pahs, more especially Huki which
was lhe smaller; the second prepared to inter-

noise OF the firing; and the third crossed the
river shortly after sunrise on the 10th to where
the Europeans were living, killing such of them
as had not taken the alarm and fled. and burn

AS TO the English settlers who lost their lives
they were murdered on the opposite side of the
Mohaka river. OF this melancholy affair little
Is known save that some time during the morn

children, together with Messrs. Cooper and VIII

murdered. Their houses, as well as those Of
several other settlers, were destroyed. A band

massacre has melted the authorities to greater

by Piranesi, purchased by the trustees of the
British Museum a few years since, has been re-
stored, and is now before the public Upon
the body of the vase are sculptured figures
in rather high relief, of satyrs, fauns, etc.
which were designed with great spirit, and
composed, in many respects, from more an
cient carvings. The execution of the reliefs
is, in its way, very good, but not lit
tie academical or conventional and of the
highly finished sort. The stem of the vase
comprises demi-hgures of Sileni issuing below
the bowl, and from conventiOnalized legs of
lions. These are cOunterchanged with busts of
fauns. The base of the work is inferior to the
stem, and comprises the vulgar Roman skulls of
bulls poorly designed and wrought festoons. On
the whole, as a specimen of art of an inferior
kind, and effective rather than fine, the new
sculpture is very acceptable; but It ought to be

From the Ne0 Orleans Picdyuae, Jttly IS.
On the 18th inst, while the United States
revenue cutter Wilderness was cruising in the
vicinity of Cat Island, Mississippi Sound, she
fell in with two boats containing a party of
officers from the garrison at Ship Island,
Miss, in tow Of an immense devil-fish. Assist
ance being asked in order to capture him, it
was cheerfully granted, and after considerable
labor the fish was safely hauled up at the
ships tackle, and the vessel steaming to the
island, his satanic piscatorial majesty was soon
on the beach.
On examination he was found to somewhat
resemble stingaree, only instead of the head
coming to point, the space between the eyes
(three feet) forming the mouth was concave,
the mouth itself measuring two feet in width;
no teeth were visible. The tail was the same
as stingaree without the sting; the color
was dark brown, nearly black on the top
and white underneath; measured twelve feet
from head to tail, fourteen feet in breadth
and two feet thick in the middle; his weight
was estimated at from 1900 to 1900 pounds
The history of the capture is briefly as fol-
lows:-A party of officers fishing on the pier
discovered the fish close in shore, on the bot
tom apparently asleep. Colonel H. r. Bliss,
the commandant of the post, an expert fisher
man and whaler, was Immediately summoned,
and being provided with a number of har-
poons with lines attached, at once called for
a boat in hopes to capture the fish. Proceed
ing cautiously, the Colonels first throw struck
the monster, which at once started for deep
water with the boat in tow. A second and
third iron was planted in him, but still he
kept on. Another boat went to the assistance
of the first, but Notwithstanding the weight
of the boats with six persons in each, they
were picked up distance of three miles from
the island the fish being then about dead.
-Four hours time was consumed in the chase,
and all the parties. engaged completely ex-
hausted
Several attempts have been made to capture
one of these fish, but few have been success
full, and but for the skill of Colonel Bliss with
the harpoons this one would have been still
uncaught
A photograph of this curiosity was at once
made and the Surgeon of the post, DR.. ker-
per, will endeavor to preserve portion OF 1t
for the benefit of science.

How much have you done to aid your wife

DESTROYING Insects.

w. tru,t that the time will come soon
vhen much more fruit can be raised, fairer
and sounder, too, than we raise at present,
and have done for some years past, In spite
of all the insects who are the main cause OF
the trouble. We believe that these pests
can be got rid of in little while. and rev.
olution created by their destruction In
stead of the multitude of these bugs
showing that their extirpation is not IN our
power, it is this very multiplicity which
makes it certain that they can be slaughter
ed, and nature herself points out the way
by tie very instincts implanted in the in
sects themselves The plan we are about TO
recommend would be of course best accom-
plished by all the farmers in the neighbor
hood practicing it, but incalculable good can
be done, for we ourselves have tried it, by
its being followed up effectually on single
farm or orchard.
We never should have had so many in
sects in the first place, if We had not depart
ed from nature, either in the matter OF
shooting the small birds or removing all the
shelter which enough of woods affords to
them. For more than fifty years here, we
have gone on persistently cutting away the
timber everywhere, and driving the birds
before US in all directions, that at last the
insects have taken the place of the feathered
tribes, and destroyed therefore, the balance
of the fruit We fruit derived the idea of
our mode of massacre by wholesale, from
observing some years since, in our visits
to Newport, that the street gas lamps at
tracted and burned immense quantities of
moths and other flying things. We thought
something of the kind, either fire or sweets,
would answer the purpose in the country.
One gallon of black molasses, recommend
ed by Joseph Treat, Vineland, New Jersey,
unfit for. anything else, mixed with water
and placed IN old vessels, will suffice for a
farm from early spring till fall. only requir.
ing to have the moths thrown out; to be
removed or kept covered by day, Ito pre-
serve from bees, and to be filed up and
kept sweet, as it gradually wastes or toe
greatly ferments. The same sweetened wa
ter on plates, with cobalt, ratsbane, or any
thing smaller to it, will poison the moths.
But there is still more universal means,
for nature has made every insect fire wor
shipper.
Little fires in gardens or orchards, at earl.
twilight, burning five, ten or fifteen minutes
will attract and consume perfect swarms o
all sorts of insects, and more directly saw
fruit than anything else. Llghtwood oh
tanned and split fine, or fat bottomed ii
lamps, like those of the campaign torches
will be money at one hundred per cent, i
every mans pocket who owns either garde
or orchard. And picking up and burnin
or boiling all fallen fruit, will make two o
three hundred to one less insects the follow
ing year.-Reading Journal.

Almost every one who has had any expe-
rience in gardening knows the importance
of pruning newly planted trees. But in
transplanting cabbage, beets, tomatoes and
similar vegetables, few ever think of taking
off the leaves-an operation fully as impor-
tant as the reduction of the branches of an
apple or pear tree. Try it, and you will
never omit it again.
