HOW 70 BE POLITE.

no not try too hard TO be polite.
Never overwheim your friends by beg

they will soon wish they were there. Show
byyour actions rather than your word, that
you arc glad TO see them.
Have enough regard for yourself to
treat your greatest enemy with quiet pol

WEAKNESSES and hurt yourself more than
any one else
Do not talk about yourself or your fam.
lily TO the exclusion Of other topics. VIVA,
IL you are clever and little more so than

FIVE WAYS TO DESTROY ANTS.

First, pour copiously, hot water as
near the boiling point as possible, down
their burrows and over their hills, and re-
peat the operation several times.
2. Entrap the ants by means Of narrow
sheets Of stiff paper or strips Of board, COW
cred with some sweet sticky substance.
The ants are attracted by the sweet, and,
sticking fast, can be destroyed rs often as
sufficient number are entrapped.
3. Lay fresh bones around their haunts.
They will leave everything else to attack
these, and VIE thus accummulated, dip
them in hot water.
4. Pour two or three spoonsiul Of coal
oil into their holes, and they will abandon
the nest.
8. Bury few slices of onions in their
nest and they will abandon them.

AN IOWA HAIL STORM.

In Iowa recently they had hail-storm,
according to.,a veracious editor in that state
which was every bit as bad as II 1t had
Grained pitchforks.' The tin roofs where
II occurred were punched full Of holes, all
he glass which happened to DO in its way,
some eight thousand lights were broken,
and innumerable chickens and pigs were
killed. As TO the crops, there was moth
ing left OF them. The standing corn was
chopped up fine enough to be fed 10 the
stock without the necessity Of passing II
through the cutter, and the ground had
bcen piowed up for buckwheat and tur.
nips. "A good many of the stones were large
enough to be called boulders, and, take II
altogether, the story is a little the heaviest
hail-storm yarn We have heard.

DIFFERENCE IN EGGS.

The Germantot0n Telegraph well says
there is n vast difference in the flavor OF
eggs. Hens fed on clean, sound grain,
and kept on a clean grass run, give much
finer Favored eggs than hens that have
access to stables and manure heaps and
eat all kinds Of filthy food Hens feeding
on fish or onions flavor their eggs accor,
dingly-the same us cows eating onions OF
cabbages, or drinking offensive water
The richer the food the higher the color OF
the eggs. Wheat and corn give the bes'
color, while feeding on buckwheat makes
the eggs coloriess, rendering them unl

MURDERl IN JOHNSON COUNTY.

WELL KNOWN FARMER SHOT IN sIoHT
| OF HIS OWN HoUsE-No CLUE TO THE
MURDERER.
| We briefly noticed the assassination of
| Mr.. John Murray, of johnson county, in
| late number Of the BULLETIN. The par
tlcuars Of the foul affair are thus stated in
The Massac Journal of the 22d.-
In connection with the paragraph on
murder, In another column, comes the start
ling intelligence of the assassination Of
John Murray the we'll known Metropolis
and Vienna teamster, who lived few
miles beyond New Columbia in johnson
county. Mr.. John Murray, on last
Wednesday, had been over TO Col. j. l..
Wymores, threshing wheat and was re.
turning home in company with three 9TH
er gentlemen. They were driving slowly
along in their wagon, and had entered
Mr.. Murrey's own lane within about two
hundred yards ofhis residence, when one Of
the gentlemen in the wagon remarked to
Mr. Murray, that "some one had left his
fence down again. eyes" replied Mr..
Murray, but III catch up with the id
rascal yet" While these words were We.
trembling on his lips, a fash was seen from
the fence corner, just alongside; report
instantly followed, and John Murray fell
over in the wagon, bleeding and man.
gled corpse, pierced in the head, neck and
breast, by some seven or eight buckshot.
The mules attached to the wagon took
fright, dashed off one hundred or more
yards, ere they could be checked, and from
this cause not "a glimpse was seen Of the
murderer. On returning to the spot, an
ambuscade was discovered in the fence cor
ner, formed by breaking persimmon and
other boughs to serve as screen for the
murderer, whilst he accomplished the hell
ish purpose, in which he was only too sue
cessful.
Thus persisted man we'll known in this
community, useful citizen and thrifty
farmer. His beautiful home on the Wen
ma road is left desclate, and an invalid
wife left to buffet alone the tide Of events,
which full oft overwhelm the most hardy
Of LIES voyagers.
No clue has yet been found TO the
murderer, but in the interest of civiliza-
ton as against barbarisui, we trust that
his damning crime will find him out,
wherever he may flee, and guilty consci.
ence tx the seal Of its power upon him
until it shall be written upon his coun ten
ance in language too plain to doubt thou
art the murderer.

Protect the Sheep.

j. L. Vaughan, Bradford Co., Pa,
writes the Germantown Telegraph We
believe that where sheep are kept, there
ought to be some general law to protect
the owner from the ravages of dogs.
We think that statistics will warrant us
in saying that there are 100000 sheep
killed and 300, 900 manned annually, in
this country, from this cause alone and
that the loss thus inflicted would amount
to $2,600,000 allowing So per sheep,
which would be q low estimate. If to
this we add the cost of boarding the
dogs, (many of which are utterly worth
less,) allowing the expense for each
canine to be $40 per annum, and assum-
ing five persons to average family, or
800, 600 families for the United States
and again assuming that each family
averages a dog, the expenditures reach
extraordinary proportions. Iwould sug-
gest to my brother farmers the PROPOSE
ton of petit oning our Legislature for
more official laws ON the subject, believ-
ing our present laws to be defective. 1t
is idle to talk about collecting damages
against the owner of q sheep dog the
very nature of the case precludes it, for
the killing is usually done in the night.
| am informed that there is local law
in certain county in this State, where
the owner Of every dog is taxed one dol
lar, and the money thus collected is paid
into the town treasury. Any person
losing sheep notifies three persons, free
holders who are denominated apprais-
ers, and who proceed to appraise the
amount of damages sustained. When
certified, the town commissioners give
an order which is paid out of the deg
tax thus collected. If at the end of the
year any money remains, it goes to the
support of the poor. This law is said to
work well, and, if SO, then why not make
it general

A Bloody Tragedy.

The following are the particulars, as
far as can be obtained, of the recent
bloody tragedy perpetrated at Rock
Grove, Winnebago County, Ill. A far
msr, name not gwen residing between
Spring Grove and Rock Grove, recently
sold his farm and received the money
last Tuesday. On Wednesday night he
left his home and went to Rock Run.
Returning from there, and as ne neared
his home. he was confronted by man
who demanded his money. The farmer
drew a revolver and shot the robber
dead. Starting for his house, he encoun-
tered two other men, each of whom he
dispatched with his revolver. On enter
ing the house he found his wife and
daughter weltering in their blood, the
latter being dead and his wife badly
wounded. When last heard from one of
the dead men was recognized as the
stranger who had recently attempted to
purchase the farm from the farmer.
This story seems to be improbable, but
the details come from several different
sources, and are nearly identical.
