BOILER EXPLOSION IN HoB0KEN.

the house of Alderman John Curtin, in Hudson
street, which came well nigh being attended with
fatal results. The feed-pipe of the boiler In the
kitchen had been frozen, and the servant having
drawn on q considerable portion OF the liquid a
partial vacuum was created within the vessel. The
1re was lighted, and, the apparatus becoming IN
tensely heated, suddenly thawed the feed plpe the
steam generated and an explosion ensued. Frag-
ments OF the shattered range shot against one
OF Mr.. Curtns sons, and produced very dangerous
injuries about the head. He was also scaled by the
steam. The servant narrowly escaped, her chlgnon
being carried of by o piece OF metal Much SYM

Insect Pests and How to Deal with
Them.

Ptom rural notes. In Providence JogrnAll
aFof practically purposes says Downing,
"the numerous insects iniea ting fruit trees
may 90 divided into four claases: isl
those which for o tine harbof In The
ground and may be attacked In the soil:
I'd, winged and other species, which may
be attacked among the branches; sd.
aphldes, or plant lice, which infest the
young shoots; 4th, moths, and ali niRht.
flying insects" Insects, the larvR, or
grubs, Of which harbor In the ground, are
Ill more or less affected by the applica-
tion Of common salt, as o top dressing.
An application ola handful of salt around
the collar Of peach trees, early every
spring, win, In most cases, have the most
beneficial effect Any refuse or coarse
salt win answer thepurpose, and after the
application Of Il Tor several years Il viii be
better TO omit itfor q while, II 1t should
be doubted whether the salt would
have the desired effect, the addition
Of an equal proportion Of t1nleached wood
ashes would probably make the expert
Inent success, and both salt and ashes
are highly beneficial 10 the growth Of the
tree. The winged insects arc harder to
deal with, but they dislike strong odors,
and the odor Of the coal tar Of the gas
works has been found to drive away the
wire worm and other grubs that attack the
roots Of plants. A wash Of diluted whale
oil soap Is an excellent thing Tor all fruit
trees, care being taken not to use itof too
great strength. Two pounds Of this soap
mixed with fifteen gallons Of water, aE-
piled with syringe 70 the limbs, and as a
wash 70 the trunk, will be advantageous.
II has been used with perfect success
against the rose slug. Moths and
other insects which fly at night are de-
stroyed In large numbers BY the fol-
lowing mode, first discovered by Victor
Adonin, OF France. A fat saucer or YES
sci Is set on the ground, in which Il
placed o light, partially covered with q
common bell.glass besmeared with oil.
All the small moths are directly attracted
by the light, fly towards It, and in their
attempts to get at the light, are either
caught by the glutinous sides Of the bell
glass, fall into the basin Of oil beneath,
and in either case perish. iJ ssi4,l =
A simple and most eifectual mode Of

Gold and Governments.

u
From Saturdays N. Z. Financial chronicle.)
Under the influence Of the advance in
gold and the possibility Of a further ad-
vance, and with a good demand from
home and foreign investors, and a scarcity
in the supply ofbonds, Governments have
taken . sharp upward turn. Taking the
5.20s OF 1867 as the leading bond Of the
market, the rise in price between the
sales at the Exchange yesterday, and
those of this morning, was fully ] per
cent, and at the second Board q sale of
S100, 600 was made at TIC. This advance
was rather too rapid, however, and there
was subsequently slight reaction, prices
closing firm at the decline. 4, ~, -, ~
The advance In gold to shipping point,
and the knowledge that the trade balance
Is largely against this country, has led to
the opinion that there will naturally be q
demand for securities to send abroad, and
70 meet such demand our Government
bonds are by far the most acceptable se-
curity. rgg g. r.4-t n a
AT the Treasury purchase on Wednes-
day, only $685. $50 of bonds were OBJ.
tanned below the price OF gold at that
hour, and the total offerings amounted to
only $592, 100. As the prospect Is that
the Secretary may not soon be able 10
obtain any more bonds at or below par in
gold, it is supposed by many that he will
give the usual three moths notice and
call in another lot Of the five-twenties Of
1859, he -, -, - 80 =
The New York .Eusningl Post says /:
"There are but lew produce bills making,
and American railroad bonds, which have
heretofore largely liquidated our trade
balance, are dull and lower in the great
German markets, owing to the late unfa.
yorable turmoil the Alabama, negotiations.
II is expected, therefore, that specie ship.
ments will begin at an early day, and we
hear already OF preparations for such ship
ments by Saturdays steamers. The dis
parity between the imports Of foreign
merchandise and our exports has been 50
great during thepast season that an I'M.
usually large amount Of specie will be
required to settle the balance against US,
unless there should be an early adjustment
Of the Alabama matter, lnwhich case It is
expected that the settlement would be
effected, as to q great extent in years past,
by the export Of our promises to pay In
the form Of American securities-most
likely railroad bonds as United States
bonds are scarce here" !.
