DUST BATHS FOR PoULTRY.- Cleanli-
ness is important in lighthouses, for ex-
perience shows that poultry are unfavor-
ably affected by the emanations from
filthy quarters, and, besides working in
places where r0osts and floors are covered
with the droppings, is decidedly unpleas-
ant. Dry. earth, in, the form of; powder,
scattered every where, will absorb the
bad odors, giving wholesome atmos-
,phere to the. hen-house, and at the same
time preserve the manure in the least
offensive condition. Besides the purpo-
ses, a box of dry earth should bein a
convenient corner of every fowl-house
for the fowls to roll. in. Dust from the
highway is the most convenient.

How TO KEEP WORMS OUToF DRIED

of bark and sassafras, and strew liberal
supply on top. We will insure that the
worms will not trouble it.

THE TRUE STORY.

The first of these a6idavits was the
sworn statement of Gen. Butler, which
has already been published in the Neps
and Courier. Then followed the affidavit
of Rev. John P. Mealing, which states
that the deponent is the uncle of Henry
Getsen, one of the accused. On the 9Th
of July, he received q message from MIR.
Getsen requesting his presance at the Of
flee of Prince Rivers, at the trial of the
suit instituted against the so-called mill
tia company for obstructing the hig ghway
on the 4th of July. He went with his
friend, DR.. II. A. Shaw, and met there
Robert J. Butler, Harrison Butler, Thos.
Butler and Henry Getsen. After the di-
rect examination of Getsen, Doc. Adams
