This innovation is due to Mr.. Costa -.
magma of Turin, Il dealer in furs, who for
years had been in the habit of importing
them from France, to the amount of from
10000 to 10000 francs year. He con-
ceivCd the idea that, instead # pnyiro
this tribute to another country, it would
be much easier and more economical To
raise the animals himself He consequent.
ly devoted himself to their study, VISITING
the principal establishments in Franco,
Germany, and Belgium, where thew are
raised with success; and, on the other
hand, to promote the use of their flesh as
1uod, he published tracts. lie invited free
lngrcss to all who wished to visit his mr.
sery, and finally opened market in Turin
for the sale of the flesh. The first day all

market would be open only certain hours

Since then, counting up the results it has
been found that the Turinese have con
sumed in one way or another seventy-fve
thousand of those little animals.

Piedmont, and into Lombardy, Venice, and
the Romagna. Connected with the nur.
sery of Mr. Costamagn is a factory for the
preparation and making up of the skins

door. This is serious question, and
should be well weighed by Legislators be-
fore assuming the responsibilities Of the
office.
Another result of the law, or rather the
absence OF law, is that the revenue of the
county, formerly obtained from the sale OF
licenses, amounting to two thousand dol
lars, has been to that extent cut off, for
which the people must be taxed in other
ways, while ut Ihe same time they are lille
gally deprived Of their accustomed stimu-
lus, or compelled to eXpend their money in
the adjoining counties, which thus profit
by our misfortune.
Those persons who desire the use of
stimulating liquors, and their number is
legion, and have the money to pay for
them, can, and will always obtain them,
Notwithstanding laws, whether negative
or positive.
There can be no law enforced TO prevent
people from keeping liquors in their dwell
ing houses. This law absence of law
while irritating and annoying to the sense
Of justice of ali, cXpends its chief punish

gentlemen in the circumstances of our
quondam representatives, can keep their
supplies in their cellars without regard to
legislative restrictions; but the poor man
whose daily siXpcnce worth Of beer or ale

and, III sense, rcconciles him to his hard
lot,-he is the sufferer He is unable to
appreciate the moralizing cant of the day

In this respect, by no means immaculate

When Il wrong has been committed, it

infringement upon the peoples liberties

RESULT OF Practical JoKE.--Th.re
is nothing half so funny as practical joke,
and this one, told by an Eastern paper, is
a regular rib-ticklcr: "Frederick Walker
and Peter Kohley, of Gutenberg, N. j.,
stuffed an old suit of cloths with straw, on
Tuesday night, and carried it to Hull's
Ferry road and Herman avenue, where they
placed it against 1t lamp post. About
midnight they commenced an imaginary
quarrel in loud tone, and continued it
until number ofpeople were aroused from
their beds. Then they shot the magma
ry man. The boy fell down and the young
men ran away. The neighbors thinking
a murder had been committed, chased the
young men, and Kohler was shot in the
leg before the deception was explained "
Think what solid enjoyment Mr.. Kohler
will have laughing at that for six weeks
while he nurses his leg; and what a scream
ing farce it would have been for his whole
family if he had been shot in the head.

GETTING Rip OF RATs-We have seve
raj receipts for this purpose. A New York
farmer says: "Rats do not remain with us
long, while some of our neighbors are
troubled the year round. Poison is dan
gerous, and traps of little use. We get rid
of them in the following manner: Take
equal parts of corn-meal and calcined or
boiled plaster Of Paris and mix we'll to-
gether; place a dish of water near it. The
rats will eat and drink, the plaster of Paris
will set in the animals stomachs, and death
will very quickly result"

CHARISTMAS-THDE.

BI JENNIE HARRISON.
We are tiren of the weary warfare;
The daily cares that annoy;
But the one true thing that is left us
Is the dear old Christmas joy.
so we lay aside all our trouble,
The cares that we candot name
And rest us, awhile in the gladness
That ever has been the same.
The same old remembrance and giving,
Always so sweet in the end;
Ever since the great Master-giyer
Came down to be King and Friend.
The same fragrant odor of cedar,
OF hemlock, holly and pine;
Which only grows fresher and sweetcr
With mem'ries that years entwine!
The same "Merry Christmas" resoundng,
The same old story again,
AS sweet as when told TO the shepherds,
OF "peace and good will to men,"
The same gladstone chime of the churcl
bells,
The same old carols and cheer;
The same weary world that is smiling
AS the Christmas-tide draws near.
And We turn aside from our trouble,
From all the cares that annoy;
To rest us, awhile, in the brightness
or the dear old Christmas joy
