The scarcity and high price in England
arc not the result Of merely transient
causes, but Of Il combination OF serious
circumstances, whose influence, instead Of
diminishing, will probably increase, and
lead to still higher rates. There is u
growing demand upon the resources Of
the United States, as seen in our vastly in.
creased exports Of cheese, bacon, and
lard. This drain on our resources, how.
ever is met with m ample supply, except
for bacon, md so no advance in figures is

To Drive Rats Away without
Poison.

We know Of three methods: First, the
old French plan, this is followed chiefly
in Paris by men who make it a spccial
business. They take Il deep tub with
water ut the bottom, and little elevation
in the middle like an island, on which is
only place for one rat to sit on. The tor
is covered and has large balance valve,
opening downward; on the middle of this
valve II piece OF tried pork or cheese is
fixed, and when rat walks on it TO &c,
the cheese the valve goes down, drops The
rat in the water, and moves back in posi-.
tion. 4 road is made from rat hole to
the top OF the tub by means of n piece OF
board rubbed with cheese, so as to make
the walk attractive for the rat In the
course Of single night some ten, twenty,
or even more rats may so down, and il
the island was not there they would be
found most all alive in the morning
quietly swimming around but the pro-
vision of the little island saves the
trouble OF killing them, because their
cgotistic instinCtOf sclf.prcservation Caus.
cs them 10 fight for the exclusive posses.
sion OF the island, on which in the morn.
ing the strongest rat is found in solitary
possession; all the others being killed and
drowned around him. Second, the New
York plan invented by one OF our friends,
The floor near the rat hole is covered
with thin layer Of moist Caustic pOtassa.
When the rats walk on this it makes their
feet sorc;thcse they lick with their tongues
which makes their mouth sore: and the
result is that they shun this locality, not
alone, but appear TO tell all the rats in the
ncighbOrhOOd about it, and eventually the
house is entirely abandoned by them, not.
wIthstanding the houses around may be
tecminG with rats. Third, the Dutch
method; this is said to be used success.
fully in Holland; we have, however, never
tried it. 4 number Of rats are left to.
gethcr TO themselves in n very large tran
or cage, with no food whatever; their
craving hunger will cause them to fight;
and the weakest will be eaten BY the
strongest. Alter Il short time the fight
is renewed, and the next weakest is the
victim, and SO it goes on till one strong
rat is left When this one has eaten the
last remains of any Of the others, it is set
loose; the animal has now acquired such
a taste for rat flesh that he Is the terror OF
ratdon, going round seeking what rat he
may dcvOur. In m incredibly short time
the premises are abandoned by all other
rats, which will not come back before the
cannibal rat has left or has died.-Mdnu.

all but fOrty.nine towns, casting more
than nine.tcnths Of the vote ofthe State,
which give PcrhNm 49, $3.50 majority. The
remaining towns last year gave ISL Dem.
OCratic majority, and will not probably
vary the Republican majority this year
one hundred. In the 120 representative
districts heard from, llG Republicans and
l3 Democrats are elected, with twenty.
two districts TO be heard from.
AUGUSTA, September 1.-THE official
returns received up to this evening, in.
clude something more than 10 per cent OF
the total vote Of the State, aud maioritics
in several Congressional districts foot up
very nearly as follows: In the FIRST Dis.
trict Burleigh has 9,lSO majority; in the
Second district Frcyc has $500; in the
Third district Blaine has $500; in the
Fourth district Herscy has $3.50, in the
Fifth district Hale has . 200. These az.
gregate majoritics do not diler materially
from Pcrham's majority. The largest
gains are in the Third aud Fourth dis.
trics, where Blaine and Hale have both
gained more than 500 over their major.
ties for 1870. They have larger ina.
iorlties than were given then in 1865.
