apportionmeht, the number of
Presidential Electors is 317, ma

careful calculation shows that the
change will not materially affect
the prospects of parties in the

MosQUIToES.--Rain water
caught in barrels, cisterns,
stumps &c. is that in which
mosquitoes generally propa-
gate. In large pools and ponds
on the ground, the tadpole is
the great enemy of mosquito
spawn. A friend tells us OF a
simple plan of killing "wiggle
tails" which is by pouring a
little oil on the vessel OF water
in which'they are. The young
mosquito requires air, which
the oil shuts off from him, and
consequently he dies. Would
not good light clean oil, as cot
ton seed oil for instance, be OF
great use in keeping cister 70
water pure7 The water could
be pumped out for use, with
out disturbing the oil material
". We think the experiment
deserves to be tried.
