to add few to the baked portion
of the custard.
RAT ExrERMyAroR. For many
years past says o writer in the
Washington Star. I haze used the
various poisonous preparations for
the destruction of rats with only
partial success. and take pleasure
in calling attention to an infallible
remedy Tor the sure destruction OF
these Troublesome animals. Crude
potash, a powerful alkali, being
placed where they frequent, blister
their feet, burns their coat wher
ever it touches, blinds them, and
causes them to vacate the premises,
or SO affects them that they can
easily be killed. Let all who suffer
from their depredations try it, and
l feel assured that they viii never
again resort to the dangerous and
poisonous preparations now used
for this, purpose. It should be
used literally, and every part OF
the premises they frequent should
be supplied with it,

PERMANENT WH1TEwAsH.-Take half
bushel of udslacked lime, slack it
with boiling water, covering it du
ring the process to keep in the
steam; strain the liquid through a
fine sive or strainer, and add to it
peck of salt previously we'll dis
solved in water; three pounds
ground rice boiled to thin paste,
and stirred in boiling hot; half a
pound Spanish whiting, and a pound
of clean glue which has been pre-
viously dissolved by soaking it first,
and then hanging over slow FIRE
in small kettle inside a larger one
filed with water; add five gallons
of hot water to the mixture, stir it
we'll, and let it stand o few days
covered from the dirt. It should
be put on quite hot: for this pur-
pose it can be kept in kettle on a
furnace. A pint of this mixture
will cover q yard square of the out
side Of a house if applied with a
large paint brush.

most undeserved aspersion upon

statutes of che kind imputed to

these: During the eventful years
of the Revolution, there were many
resolute and determined enemies
to the Aaaerican cause. "HTories"
they were called. In no part of the
country were they more obnoxious

from the British crown, than in the
New Havea and Connecticut Col
ony." In this colony was one Hugh
Peters, an educated member of one
ofthe FIRST families Of New England.
But he was resolute Tory, and
had no control over his tongue;
least of all over his exuberant
mother wit. Persisting in his
course of opposition to the popular
cause, he was kindly warned of his
unacceptableness to the people, and
their desire, yea, demand, for his
silence. At last he was expelled

These absurd stories were palmed
upon The public as veritable stat
utes Of the colony of Connecticut,
written and intended as mere
.burlesque on the colonial regula-
TONS. They were too. absurd to
warrant the least regard as verit-
able history, and were so undertook
till the advance of society and the
growth Of the country multiplied
political and religious institutions (;
and while the records and memorials
of these blue laws of the Tory Hugh

derogatory to the iberality of the
early colonies, while they had not
the slightest foundation in truth.
One of these laws was that SO
many clashes were to be given to
the man who should kiss his wife
on the Sabbath" The fact was, in
q those early times the great business
of counting was reserved for the
Sabbath day and evening, and
kissing was no doubt part Of this
important business, as we presume
it is, to this late day in New Eng.

About one o'clock to-day the flood
gates of Heaven opened and the rain
poured down by the bucket full. All
the street cutters ran full and to over
flowing. At the Post Office corner
the body of water was SO great that it
forced down the area wall, on the Sec.
ond street side, and the water poured
into the basement, which was occupi-
ed by Walter Green as barber shop,
in deluge. In less time than it takes
us to write this his shop was four feet
deep in water. Green succeeded in
packing out two or three barber
chairs, but the balance of his furniture
had to be abandoned to the watery
element. The sidewalk gave way and
is in sadly demoralized condition.

FROM NEBRASKA.

CRETE, Neb., May 18th, 1874.
Dear CoVrier: Your welcome week |
ly visits for nine months past should,
perhaps, have elected some response
before this. The sshome news is GULL |
ed every week with great avidlty.
What shall l tell you ? Where we
live? How we like it? The develop
ment of the country?
Twenty miles from Lincoln on the
favoritc b. & M, our beautiful young
city nestles down in the rich valley of
the Big Blue. Come to our house from
the depot, and from the windows of
my cosy sanctum, ! will show you
wider view than that commanded by
the "study" in Ottumwa, so familiar
to many of your readers. Three quar-
tiers of mile to the West, making
great bend around the city, its banks
skirted here and there with fresh
lcaved trees. is the Big Blue. Its chan
mel is so deep cut between the banks
that you are robbed of one important
feature in the landscape at Ottumwa,
running water. Beyond, to the west,
north, south, far as the eye can reach,
are the great stretches of prairie,
dressed in the beautiful green of
spring. In the harvest time you will
see literally thousands of acres of
golden grain waving in the breeze
and, later, countless stacks dotting the
landscape everywhere.
Crete is not yet four years old, but
has grown rapidly, as it is continuing
to do. You will see evidences of the
newness of things; small houses gen.
orally; few sidewalks, sc. The pub
lie improvements made are of SUBJ
stantial character. We have enjoyed
our stay here thus far very much !;
have found plenty to do warm friends,
kindly words of cheer. Our Doane
College of which 1 wrote you last
summer is constantly gaining in assets
and in numbers of students, and is
doubtless destined to have prosper

tits perfectly astonishing how rap
idly this part of the State is filling up.
The best of farming lands at low
prices, no fencing, good crops, good
educational advantages, healthful
climate, have united their considers
tons to bring an excellent class of
settlers. The lands of the B. & M. in
Nebraska advertised in the COURIER
by Mr.. Harris, are as good farming
lands as are to be found in the world,
and parties who think of purchasing
can be sure Of finding Mr.. Harris re-
liable business man, and christian
gentleman.
am thinking of taking a run out
over the road to Kearney Junction
and if do so, may write you some

From the Daily OF May 18th. s

The Burlington Haaeeye says: "a
man named Broderick arrived from
Ottumwa in search of one Thomas
Hays, yesterday. He stated that HAYS
had robbed him of fifteen dollars in a
saloon of that town. He enlisted De.
pot Policeman johnson in the search,
and they found their man in the Mis-
sissippi House. lie was taken before
Squire Browning, but it appearing
that the witnesses to the case were in
Ottumwa, the prosecuting witness
was informed that he would have to
go to Jail along with the defendant in
default of bail, while awaiting the ar
rival of his witnesses. This he con.
cluded to do, and started to Jail in
charge of the officer. However, he
presently returned, paid the costs in
the case and withdrew the prosecu-
ton. The complainant and defend
ant were last seen together on very
social terms departing for Galesburg
on the II: 10 p. m. accommodation

CRoPs.-From our farmers we learn
that the corn crop is pretty nearly all
planted, and that the early planting is
coming on very handsomely. The
season has been very propitious for all
kinds OF farm work, and wheat and
oats are looking very fine. The pros
pect for all kinds of fruit, is very flat
tering. and we shall probably have
more apples, pears and cherries than
ever was raised before in this county
Gooseberries and currants will be a
good crop, but tie borer is running a
great many bushes of the latter. This
pest commences in the ftp of currant
bush sprout, and bores down to the
ground, and if not arrested at an early
stage will kill every bush. People
who raise currants should keep an eye
out for these pests.
