tenn of taxation, five per cent. in Yer
mont would he one fUe-hHndredthS Of enc
per cent in New York. Our property,

To kill rats. make a mixture Of plas-
ter dust and dry wheat, mixed with oil
Of aniseed, and put in an earthenware
saucer, and near by place plenty of
water: the rats eagerly devour the mix
turc, and are straigbtway seized with
tormenting thirst they then, of course
grcedily swallow water. Upon this, the
PLASTER "sets, " and becomes solid in their
insides and thus, more or less die in
agony. A horribly cruel remedy, but,
then, rats are rats.
