Representative Fobb has placed us
under renewed obligations for late
city papers. Mr.. Fcbb paid another
flying visit 10 town to-day, and will
return to his post of duty tomorrow.
He does not seem concerned by the
claim for his seat which has been made
by Mr.. n. II. Wilson, his defeated
opponent at the recent election, and
especially as Mr.. Wilson presents his
petition to body which Representa-
tive Fobb does not recognize as a
legal assemblage.

year, as prepared by a committee APP
pointed for that purpose. 1t will be
seen that among the items is one of
$4,000 to be applied towards taking
up the floating Indebtedness. This
is Indicative of the improved and i'm

the adoption of a cash basis. The
parish authorities not only realize
sufficient revenue for current expenses,
but are enabled to make provision for
the payment of old Indebtedness.

maintained until the criminal docket
is cleared. It is proposed to accom-
plish this next week, leaving civil
business, if there be any, for the week
after.
The Grand Jury on yesterday asked
and obtained leave to adjourn until
next Thursday, when it is presumed
they will make their final report. This
body is having an unusually long ses-
sion, and the Ar:.ieux murder case is
perhaps one of the stumbling blocks
that ;mpedes their rapid progress
through the routine of business usual

Poisoning by Hats and Boots.

the Cincinnati Clinic reports case of
severe pustular eruption of the fore

Destroying Rats and Mice.

little care and attention it might be
saved. The destructiveDess of rats
and mice however does not stop with
the grain they consume, but they gnaw
holes through his bins, barrels and
other vessels, frequently letting their
contents run to waste, besides, har-
ness, carriage robes, blankets, grain
bags and variouss other articles are in
constant danger of being destroyed by
the pests.

A Word of Joy.

From the Hon. James Ross. Grand Lecturer Of l. o.

From feeling of gratitude, I take
great pleasure in giving testimony to the eff
cacy Of Hale's Coug h Cordial in easily curing
persistent cough. For month while en-
gagged nightly in public speaking, had sui
tered with an annoying cough which stub
bornly resisted the various cough remedies
friends fortunately gave Hale's Cough Cor
dial a trial, when my coughing cased at once,
and the following day it had done its work
complete and teIt all right. The first dose
went directly to the cold spot in my lungs,
and in the midst of general warmth and
perspiration the stubborn cough seemed to
dissolve. In gratitude and esteem, l am

The PrOdigal.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from the
mine, refined, and coined, by the labor OF
other hands and the sweat OF other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate OF it's value.
balance so many days OF unremitting and ia
tlg9lng toll, 80 many anxious and sleepless
nights, so much selt-denial and 50 much care
But the inheritor into his balance throws only
pleasure. The one, values it by what It
costs him the other, tor what it will pur-
chase. Like the prodigal in the Scripture par
able, he thoughtless1y expends it to crafty
the caprice and cravings of his nature. Then
comes the last scene--the misery the remorse,
and the long and wearisome Journey back to
the home of frugal industry But there are
other prodigals. On her tavorites our boun-
teous parent, Nature, has lavished her richest
treasure-health. But the prodigal values il
squanders it in riotous living. Present pleas
ures obscures future want. Soon the curtain
rises on the last scene We see him helpless
impoverished, the rich treasures of body and
mind all lost Tin misery and despair. Re.
morseless Conscience holds up to him thu
mirror of memory. In his own reckless foil,
he perceives the cause OF his present pain H
tedious, but if he perseveringly follows tn,
right road, he will at length see the haven O
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seem,

which may he true, but it is a ques.
ton if the few destroyed by these
means have not been a benefit. Rats
are migratory in their habits.and they
very soon discover where the best

have known them to vacate a
farm barn in a night, in consequence
Of one of their number being severely
wounded with shot. Then, again no
amount of shooting, harrassing with
dogs, and traps, would make them
leave, still there is a way in which
ones premises, especially farm-build-
ings can be freed from this vermin,
and that is by poisoning. But before
a man attempts to make a raid on rats
and mice with such weapons, he should
prepare private apartment for their
especial reception where larger ami
mails cannot intrude. A room in the
cellar or attic may be set apart for
this purpose, or even a large box will
answer, the entrance to it being just
large enough to admit the victims.
Then royal feast may be prepared
for them of dainty bits of cheese,
bread and oatmeal cake, but not at first

grain about, rats are not readily entic.
ed into new quarters in search of better
food, But after batting them for a
few days the work of destruction may
be begun.
Of course, there are a variety Of
poisons which CAL be used, but some
of them are quite too dangerous to
have about where there are dogs, cats
and other larger animals who may pick
and eat poisoned rat or mouse, con-
sequently we recommend some kind not
quite as dangerous as phosphorus
paste and strychnine, although these
can under many circumstances be used
with safety. But whatever poison is
employed, water should be placed con-
veniently at hand, and inside of the
room or box where the poisoned food
is set, in order that the rats may
quench their thirst and die on the
spot.
AS rats are very intelligent and capa-
