The ravages of diphtheria in Australia
have been so extensive within the last
few years that the Government offered q
large reward for any certain method OF
cure, and among other responses to this
was one by Mr.. Greathead, who at first
kept his method secret, but afterwarC
communicated it freely to the public. Il
is simply the use of sulphuric acid, OF
which four drops are diluted in three
fourths of tumbler of water to be ad
ministered to grown person and /
smaller dose to children, at intervals MOI
specified. The result is said to be u co
agulation of the diphthertic membrane
and its ready removal by coughing. /
is asserted that where the case thu.
treated had not advanced to nearly fata
termination the patient recovered il
almost every instance.

DISCRIMINATING WOodchucks.

On many farms the crops and cult
waited fields suffer seriously from the
ravages of woodchucks. l often see in
quiries in the agricultural papers how to
get rid of them. | have been troubled

near the buildings and made their places
of abode without fear of danger. They
did SO much damage that | determined

business, and was not long in disposing
of large number | also got some traps,
and made a business of catching them
wherever found. prefer the traps made
with c spring which can be had at
most hardware stores. They are cheap;
the one which has caught the most cost
only fifty cents. They are small ana car
be set in small burrows, and are very
effective in holding the woodchucks when
caught. BY pursuing this course for
three years their numbers have decreased
very much. If they did not come in
from adjoining farms should be COM
pletely rid of them. | have found that
they are migratory in their habits. Every
burrow does not have an occupant In
eXterminating them it is best to destroy
their habitations by filling up with stones
and earth Empty tenements invite un-
desirable tenants, and unless destroyed
they will make use of them for sheltet
and safety in moving from place to place;
and often stop when they would nor
otherwise if they had to dig new holes.
| 1t is important to get those living in the
| pastures and woods, as they will soon
| seek the fields.
| A good dog will visit the places where
| they live number of times daily, and
often surprise and capture them. They
are not slow to leave locality which
abounds in dogs and traps, regarding
such places as unhealthy.
| In the task of DISCRIMINATING wood
chucks nothing but well-directed effort
will be successful. Farmers spend much
time in fighting enemies to their crops,
and should not rest until they have eX-
tended the fight to the woodchuck.--Cor.

VictOria's Gardens.

Col. Forney writes to the Philadel-
phia Press The royal gardens near
Frogmore are thirty acres in extent, and
inclosed with wall twelve feet in
height. 1t is "a magnificent spot with its
grand collection of plants and flowers
There are two splendid apartments for
the use of the Queen, out of which she
proceeds to the Conservatives, which
cover total range of glass of 800 feet.
There is u winery l02 feet long, two peach
houses So feet long, and pits for forcing
melons, cucumbers and asparagus, heat
ed with hot water These gardens are
considered to be the completest of any
on earth, and are surrounded with
800 acres of magnificent scenery, and
stocked with several thousand fallow
deer. Yonder,' said our guide, is the
Long Walk, nearly three miles in extent,
shaded all the way by double row of
ancient elms, delightful promenade.
1t was planted in the year 1860, and
among its other advantages is saline

that number of months since Haver.
hill man desired some accommodation
of the Boston & Maine Road, but was
refused. The action SO provoked him
that he determined to get square by some
means. and at length, noticing that there
was no draw in the railroad bridge near
the city, he determined to put the CON-
pany to the expense OF building one. So
he commenced building schooner of
about 200 tons at point above the
bridge, and now, as it is nearly ready to
launch, he will soon load it with legiti-
mate freight, sail down to the bridge and
demand passage, which the railroad peo-
ple must grant him whether or no.

Aliuding to the Forthcoming attempt to
hold pray ayer-meetings, in the liquor saloons
ol Worcester, the Press Of that city says :;
The class of people whom these gentlemen
will find in the saloons of this city are not
those who have been accustomed to associate
religion with temperance. \ party OF per
sons entering a saloon for the purpose OF
holding prayer-meeting would excite only
ridicule in the breast of him who would listen
attentiyely to a word OF kind advice from Il
friend, and thank him heartily for it. There
is startling ineongruity in the act of hold
ing a prayer-meeting in a saloon, which will
excite ridicule in those who frequent such
places. The efforts Of the women in Ohio
were blessed with some good results; but
the situation was very different. They were
the mothers, wives and sisters Of those for
whom they prayed and the knowledge Of
the fact that they would subject themselves
to all manner of ridicule and abuse, in order
to save their relatives from the destroying
power of strong drink, could not but have a
powerful influence In this city the class of
persons whom these efforts are intended to
reach will ask the somewhat pertinent qIe--
ton, ''Why dou't they try Boston FIRST ?"
The neld in that city il certainly a good one
and. if the effort should be productive of
any good results, the Christian people of this
city would be first to initiate the example.
lfit should he found that there no people
in Worcester who are competent and ready
10 pray earnestly. and with a good under
standing. for the reformation aud salvation
81 the intemperate, then it will be time for
other cities To- take the matter in hand.
