USEFUL INEORmArInN

The Petersburg (Ya) Index has learned
in a conversation with an old gentleman
of that city, that for several years past
he had kept his house free from coekf
reaches and other vermin, by the use o.
EPSON Salts. Scattered freely through
the holes which they enter, these ugly
visitants will seek other homes, and as
sures US also that a strong solution Of
salts, applied externally to horses, will
save them from annoyance by flies; and
that where mirrors, picture frames, ETC.,
have been rubbed with the solution the
flies will refuse to light.
As preventive against bed~bugs or
feas, the same remedy will be found of
great service; but more effectual one is
the recently discovered carbolic acid or
carbolic soap. Animals washed with this
solution will be forever free from insects.
Perpetual freedom from rats and mice
may also be obtained by the use of this
carbolic acid or soap; but as this is not
always at hand, our old friend assures az
that kerosene oil poured into rat holes,
or rags saturated with kerosene, will
Danish rats and mice effectually.
He has used these antidotes for years,
and is fully convinced of their value.
They are, at least, simple and cheap, and

This institution, located on the corner
Of Deaderick street and the Square, new
feature in this city, was thrown open TO
the public yesterday, and such another
rush as that which took place, has
not been seen since John Robinson's circus
was in our midst. The crowd in fact, was
so eager TO get glimpse of the contents Of
the store, that it was found necessary to
procure the services of several policemen
to keep them back. This grand rush was
caused by the advertisement of the pro-
prietor which appeared in the UNION AND
AMERICAN. The store is elegantly fitted
mp, and the articles tasiefully arranged,
Behind the counters are ten or twelve
young ladies, who have been engaged to
attend to the wants of customers, thus
rendering the establishment doubIy attrac-
tive. There will be many who will invest
a dollar in the handsome goods to be seen
in the show cases, while the magnetic IN
fuence Of the sparkling eyes Of the corps
Of clerks will also draw considerable pa
trOnage. Yesterday was only exhibition
day, but the goods will be offered for sale
on Monday,

First New Wheat Flour.

Massengale, Douglas & Co, proprietOra
of the Reservoir Mills, sent US yesterday, 8
bag of -four, made from new Tennessee
wheat, the brand being "Cream of the

RENUNCIATION OF MEFHODISM h z
A CLERGYMAN.

Rev. E. r. Keyes, of the New York
Methodist Conference, lately renounced
Methodism and joined the Swedenbor.
gians. In letter to friend in advance Of
the step, Mr.. Keyes says:
"An open avowal of my present views
would subject me to trial and expulsion
in any annual conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. l feel, therefore, that
common honesty and honor, as well as
a due regard to my own highest inter-
ests, require me to stand forth

James my ordination parchments, and
dissolved my connection with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. hope to have
an opportunity ere long to expatiate to
my friends in Poughkoepsie the grounds
of the decision here announced"
This letter caused great commotion in
the various Methodist churches of New
York, and the excitement among the lay
members aud ministers was much in
creased when il was announced on the 18th
inst. that Mr.. Keyes had been baptized in
in the Swedenborgian faith. Sdbse
quently Mr.. Reyes made a pnblic adj,
dress in Poughkeepsie, stating that dur
ing period of 20 years in the Methodist
Church he had no complaint to make,
and that his remuneration was a matter
purely of conviction and conscience.

a Sensation I'm Nashville.

Passing quietly across the Square yes
terday, our stitution was attracted by
seeing every body running in the direc.
lion of The market. house. Following the
crowd the object of all the excitement was
soon made apparent. Moving over the
Square was what seemed at first APP
pearance to be Jupiter's chariot come to
earth, or the advance guard Of Dan Cas-
tello's circus, closer inspection however,
revealed to US the the beautiful condition
powder wagon" and string team, belonging
to Mr.. ]. NJ. Haley, of this city. s.a.
The wagon is model OF beauty and ell
egance, and the team perfection, and has
been gotten up by Mr. Haley regardless
of expense. 1t is designed TO run in the
country and distribute his popular and
useful remedies through the country towns.
It will be the center Of attraction wher-
ever it goeg. Later in the evening, at the
the invitation of Mr.. Haley, we walked
through his laboratory, on the corner OF
Summer and Broad streets. We we're
surprised 10 see the extent Of bis
business. Busy hands we're at work every
where; great piles of bright tin boxes ex-
tended from floor 10 ceiling; huge bundles
Of wrappers and Ahow.cards gzeeted us
on every side; while powders by
the barrel were literally all over
the room. At the doors were numerous
boxes, marked for Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, and one for far-otf
Texas, besides various points in this State
Mr.. Haley's remedies have been extens-
lively used for some time in the Southern
States, and he has but lately come 10 thi',
his native State, TO establish them here,
but their reputation has preceded him, and
he is already doing large business. From
the numerous testimonials shown US, from
prominent stock men, of this, and other
States, We know his powder are good
and will supply want long felt by the
people of this State, for good reliable
remedy for their stock.
For the cure Of hog cholera alone it is
invaluable. We say to all try it, and we
say to our friends in the country, look out
for the Condition Powder Wagon" and
supply yourselves with these powders and
you will not regret it.

SECOND BOARD

The stringency in the money marke ct

established yesterday afternoon have been
maintained up to the time of writing.
Borrowers on call have paid from seven
per cent gold 10 seven per cent currency,
with commission Of a sixteenth of one
per cent per day additional-the latter
rate being equivalent to about tweuly.nine
and a half per cent per annuIp.
Although the further accumulation
Of currency in the Treasury by gold sales
has been for the most part checked by the
recent modification Of the Seeretary's
policy, yet 30 large an amount has already
been accumulated there that rates in the

HIGH TAXES.

A Movement Among the Liquor Deal
ers-MeetiDg Called for Tuesday
Evening.
The enormous taxation with which the
people Of this county is being burdened,
is standing subject of animadversion. 1t
has came 10 be the chiefbusiness of gov
ernment, federal, State and municipal, to
levy and collect taxes. The people groan,
and sweat, and toll for government, and
the hordes of Office holders and leeches,
who reap the best part of the rewards Of
industry. Many, perhaps majority Of
families are stinted in the nece saries Of
life, to feed the cormorant jaws Of the tax
gatherer. Luxuries are becoming rare
indeed, while ordinary comforts are post
| poned for the Indispensable Of food ana
clothing.
And yet we find our governments day
bv day driven 10 the necessity OF issuing
bonds. and checks, and hypothecations
and 10 the pumberous ruinous shifts that
mark the successive steps TO irreirievable
bankruptcy. The policy Of all the powers
| that have been sci over us for The last four
years, has been to grind the last cent pos
sible from all classes Of the people; and
year by year to increase the demands.
Under such facts, it is not wonderful that
the suffering people should strive for
remedies. In our city we have just closed
long struggle against extravaganza and
profigacy, in a manner that gives promise
of Improvement. This fact seems 10 have
given encouragement TO class that have
been peculiarly burdened-the liquor
dealers, especially the retailers They
have advertised for q meeting on Tues
day evening next to consider the meanl
! of redress. They assert that they have
been more than equal sufferers in the gen
eral pecuniary phlebotomy. They arr
Heeced as they rise up and as they lii
down-in going out and coming in-sn'
| even while at rest. The wholesale deale
is taxed by the entire circle of auihcritie
frst-and the retailer, after paying hi
part of the tax in his purchases is doubl
taxed with licenses, amounting TO NOR
than $500, and then 80 per cent on hi
purchases in addition. Hot weather AM
temperance have combined to make thes
exactions intolerable; and they propose &
meet and see what, If any, redress can b
had. ....

DISASTROUS FIREr
Destruction of the Kick. block.
