MEETING or THE School BoARD.-At the
regular monthly meeting of the School Board
on Monday last, all the members were present.
As the schools opened on the 10th day of
September, the fall term was esllnated to
consist Of 40 school days, from ehich one
day was deducted to afford the teachers an
opportunity to attend the County and State
Fair, allowing each individual teacher to Sc
lect q day to suit his own convenience. Should
he prefer to absent himself from the Fair, he
will, Of course, attend to his school.
In view Of the inadequate salaries paid to
teachers, the Board ordered that a copy of
the Maryland School Journal be supplied to
each of them during the school year so long as
he shall be IN service as n public school
teacher in Carroll county.
Several bills for rent and the repair of
school houses were presented, audited, and
paid.
The Hon. John L. Smith, to whom the
closing Of a road to public school in the Sd
election district had been referred reported
that he had communicated with the parties
interested; and that he was of the opinion
that free passage to the school would speed.
ly be provided.
The President reported that the east end
old school house in Westminster, together
with the coal, or fuel house, was sold to the
Cemetery Company for the sum of 500. rs.
The very low price paid was, doubtless, ow-
ing to the fact that certain parties had filed
injunctions against the sale.
The Board adjourned to meet on Monday
November the 9TH.

DEDicATioS.-A correspondent says :--On
the.23d ultlmO Bixler' Church, in Bachman's
Valley, was dedicated in the presence of a
large concourse ofpeople. The building is Of
brick, 82x34 feet and was built by Mr.. Ben.
Jamin Bixler, without any assistance from
others and cost about $1,000. On the day of
dedication the ministers present insisted on
having collection to pay the travelling ex.
penses OF the officiating minister and to pur
chase stoves for the building Mr.. Bixler
consented on condition that the matter be
simply mentioned to the people, and they be
allowed to make a free.will contribution.
When the collection was made, one of the
ministers urged the people to give literally.
when the old gentleman arose and privately
requested Mr.. Young TO stop him, as he did
not want any urging on the subject Of money.
Mr.. Young then stated that the people should
give little or much, as their convictions and
feelings prompted them, so that the Offering
be entirely voluntary. After the services
closed, Mr.. Bixler requested all who would
to go with him to his house where their
horses were fed and bountiful meal provided
for those who accepted the kind invitation.
One hundred and eight persons accepted his
invitation, besides large family connection
1t does ones heart good to see such instances
OF open hearted Christian liberality, for they
are few and far between. May God bless the
old gentleman and give him many years to
worship in the house he has built for the
Lord. The church is for the use of ministers
and members of the Church of the U. B. in

Storing Potatoes,

Every method has been tired 10y
farmers to store and preserve their
potatoes through winter, and we may
say until potatoes come again. 1t is
the most valuable of all vegetables,
though here and there we find a per-
son and a writer who undertakes to
tell US of its EMBELLISHMENTS. 1t is
universally consumed in all civilized
countries, as where it can not be
grown it is imported, which can be
done long distances without injury,
when ventilation is attended to.
In storing potatoes several methods
are adopted, yet they are all practi
cally the same, the object being to
protect them against freezing, wheth-
err buried in pits or stored in cellars.
The first consideration is to keep
them in perfect darkness; the next
is, the bins should not be too deep
not over three ftet-to produce
warmth and cause them to sprOut.
When stored in the field, straight
trenches are dug, say twenty feet IN
length and four or FIVE wide, which
are filled to the depth of three feet
with potatoes, then we'll covered with
straw, on top Of which put eighteen
or twenty inches of earth. In a pit
twenty feet long there should be
about three gas escapes or vcntila-
ting openings, which should be plug
ged with straw and covered with a
board set at angle to turn the rain.
If in cellars, barn or otherwise, the
bins should be covered with rugs, old
carpeting or straw. Those intended
to be kept for late spring sales should
be frequently examined and all
sprouts removed; for as soon as {
potato besius to sprout it loses its 50.

Take the remains of cold roast
fowl and cut off all the white meat,
which mince finely without any skin
or bone; but put the bone and skin
in a stewpan with an onion, q blade
of mace, and a handful of sweet herbs

Let it stew for an hour, and then
strain and pour off the gravy, put
ting in teaspoonful of Worcester
shire sauce. Take two hard boiled
eggs and chop them small. Mix them
with the fowl, and salt, pepper, and
mace, according to taste; put in the
gravy, also half a teaspoonful of lem
on juice, two tablespoonfuls of -four,
made into smooth paste with a lit
tie cold water, and let the whole just
boil. Serve with sippets of toasted
bread. Some persons prefer cayenne
to common white pepper.

AAIO\Gthc FARM ERS.
How to Drive Rats Away Without
Poison.
Manufacturer and HrillrT

We know Of three methods: First.
the old French plan this is followed
chiefly in Paris by men who make it
a special business. They take a deep
trb, with water on the lnftom aud a
little elevation in the middle like an
island, on which is only place for just
one rat to sit on. TIE trap is covered
and has q large balance valve, open
ING downward. On the middle of
this valve a piece Of fried pork or
cheese is placed, and when the rat
walks on to it to Get tn" cheese the
valve goes down, drops the rat into
the water, and moves back in post
ton. \ road is made from tue rat
hole to tie top of the tub by means
of pieces Of huald rubbed with cheese,
so as to make the walk attractive for
the ratS. In the coniSc OF Il II ght,
some ten, twenty, or even more rats
may 90 down, and if the island was
not there, they would be found most
all alive in the morning quietly swim
ming around; but the provision Of
the little island saves the trouble Of
killing them, because their cyoti>tic
instinct for preservation causes them
to fight for the exclusive possession
of the island, on which, in the morn
ing the strongest rat is found in soil
tary possession, all the others being
killed and drowned around him. Sc
cond, the New York plan, invented
by one of the Friends. The floor
near the rat hole is covered with a
thin layer of most cau>tc potaSsa.
When the rats walk on this it makes
their feet sore; these they lick with
their tongues, winch makes then
mouth sore. and the result is that
they shun this locality, not alone, but
appear to tell all the rats in the
neishbnrlood about it, and eventual,
~ the house is entirely abandoned by
them, notwithstanding the houses
around are full of rats. Third, the
Dutch method. This is said to be
used successfully in Holland. We
have, however, never tried it. y
number of rats are left to themselves
in a very large trap or cage, with no
food whatever; their craving hunger
will cause them to fight, and the
weakest will be eaten by the strong
est. After short time the fight is
renewed, and the next weakest is the
victim, aud so it goes on till one
strong rat is left. When this has
eaten the last remains of any OF the
others, it is set loose; the animal has
new acquired such a taste for rat
flesh that he is the terror of all ,at-
dom, going about seeking what rat
he may devour. In an incredibly
short time the premises wele aband-
oned by all other rats, which will not
come back before the cannibal rat
has left or died.
