POPLAR TOWNSHIP,
July 18th 1877.

70 the Esliior Of lAf7.i5s and Times:
Our usually quiet neighborhood
has been i'll q perfect tcrmcnt for the
last few days, owing to recent visit
down here Of one Straixcr, II negro,
who says he is II lawyer, who came in
company with cx-Treasurer and ex-
convict Humbcrt. The insolcnt con
duct of Strakcr to the Trial Justice
Rush, before whom he had case, and
to the white people generally, has
stirred bad feelings between the races,
or, at any rate. has made the negroes
very inso lenLto their employers. He,
Straker, is to he down here to morrow,
Thursday, and the negroes have
generally notified rhc whites that they
viii not work on that day, because
Mr., Straker says they must con e
to hear him speak. The negroes are
perfectly wild; in fact, they seem from
:heir conduct to imagine that Straker
will learn them some plan by whicl,
they can get the "top raj" ut the DO t
tom again.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in the name O {
peace and protection to our wives and
little ones, We protest against the
conduct oflhis man Strakcr in hold
ing political meetings while our crops
arc suffering for work and in stirring
up the negroes against the white
people who are theirbcst friends. IF
Straker wishes TO make political
speeches, let him retire to B ,rm ii IL.
lie has pes;crel this people long
enough. We can stan ! his impu lcac,
and Ills inccndiary talk no longer.
His conduct, in the Trial Justice 5
Court last Friday, wa: such that IL
white boy who came to testify against
his client was 50 tcrrili I'll that II.
could scarcely give his evidence, and
after he hal testified some wha. in
bchalfof Strakcrs cIient he, Straker,
then promised the witness that he
should have protection. The Trial
'usticcw;,s compelled to nrl.r Str,k
cr'down several tins iii to threat
eli tn rule him on account Of his out
ragcou behavior.

1 HOUSES srRATAGEII.

Yesterday afternoon the writer wit
messed strange sight in the Record Of
flee Our attention was attracted by
several lusty squeaks from the inside of
a pail almost full of water, into which
halfgrown mouse had fallen. The alarm
had scarcely died away before four or
five more mice appeared on the scene,
and began clambering to the top edge of
the pail For several moments after
gaining the top of the pail and catching
sight OF the mouse in the water a squeak
ing coniab was held.
First one mouse and then another
would cling to the rim of the bucket
with his hind legs, and while almost
touching the water with his nose, squeak
out either consolation or advice to the
immersed but while all this was going on
the swimming powers of the unfortunate
mouse in the pail was rapidly giving
out. At last happy thought seemed tC
strike the biggest mouse in the crowd
and almost without a squeak he firmly
fastened his forefeet to the edge of the
pail and let his body and tail hang down
The drowning mouse saw it, and maxim!
last desperate effort for life, swan t.
the spot, seized the tail of his brothe
mouse, and amid squeaks of delight from
all the mice present, was hauled high anC
dry out of the water and over the edg
of the bucket Corjnne Record

NUMBER CAKE.-One cup of butter /;
two cups of sugar; two tablespoonfuls Of
molasses three cups of flour; four eggs /;
one teaspoOniul of soda two teaspoons
of cream tartar one cup of raisins spice
to taste.
RICE AND APPLEs.-The following is
very nice thing, especially for chill
dren: Core as many nice apples as viii
fill the dish; boil them in light moIasses;
prepare quarter of pound of rice in
milk, with sugar and salt; put some OF
the rice into the dish, then put in the
apples and fill up the intervals with rice,
and bake in the oven until it is fine
color.
A Use FOR CAYENNE PEPPER.-Ca Cay
enne pepper will keep the butter and
store-room free from ants and cock
reaches. fla mouse makes an entrance
into part OF the dwelling, saturate a
rag with CAYENNE in solution and stufit
into the hole whick can be repaired with
either wood or mortar. No rat or mouse
will eat that rag for the purpose of open
ing communication with the depot Of
supplies.
REGULATING THE KITCHEN - The
healthfulness of house largely depe25
upon its cleanliness and. above az
things, cleanliness must prevail in the
kitchen. Watch the drains, see that
no imperfection in them permits the
passage of tea and coffee-grounds, scraps
of meat, and vegetable-pariug, all of
which will choke the traps and attract
the rats. Have the pipes flooded once
week with common washing soda dis
solved in hot water, and then with a
solution of chloride of lime, in order 10
overcome unpleasant and unhealthy
odors. Use only good soap for cleaning
and washing. 1t viii dissolve COM
pletely in hot water, producing solu-
ton nearly clear and free from dis
agreeable smell.
