Mr.. Burdick Declines a denomination.
DEBORAH Republican.

DEBORAH Republican.
Below we publish a letter received
from Capt. Burdick in due course of
mail. We give it place with especial
reluctance; and if there were any reas
enable hopes that the determination ex-
pressed in it could be reversed, should
withhold it. In a private note, accom-
panying the letter, he assures us it is
his fixed determination to adhere to the
decision herein expressed; and he avails
himself Of the first opportunity to make
the matter especially understood by his
constituents.
We believe this intelligence will be
received with deep regret by the Repub-
licans of the District. And there we
must leave it. Our own feeling is
stronger than mere regret; but it is un-
necessary to put it into words.
Following is the letter:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
Washington, d c., Mar. IA, 1878.
A. K. BAILEY, Ed. Republican:
My Dear Sw:-My attention has just
been called to your remarks in the Re
publican Of the 9Th inst, in an article,
Our next Congressional Candidate" |
take this early opportunity to say | can
not consent to be a candidate for re-
election to Congress. My business in
terests and relations are such that an
absence from them and home for two
years longer would cost me a sacrifice,
which | think | ought not to be called
to make.
| thank you for your kind words of
Endorsement and feel very grateful to
the many partial friends-active, work
ing Republicans of the District-who
labored so zealously and earnestly in the
campaign of 1876, the result of which
was to elect the entire Republican tick
ct in the District.
You will therefore please announce
that l am not a candidate for reelection.
Very truly yours,

An Incident i'm School.

In an Episcopal boarding school, a few
years since, the scholars and teachers were
assembled for morning prayers. The
reading and singing were over, and all
were resuming their seats, when one of
the young ladies, of very short and thick
stature, missing her chair, seated herself
with thud on the floor. Nobody smiled.
ALI were too decorous for that. The fallen
one, embarrassed into momentary loss of
common sense, retained her lowly seat,
opened her prayer book, and appeared to
be earnestly engaged in examining its
contents. This was almost to mnch for
her companions, and smile began to
struggle on many fair countanence.
whenthe rector rose and commenced read
the morning lesson. He read from the
fifth chapter of Amos, as follows: ssThe
virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall no
more rise; she is forsaken upon her land
there is none to raise her up" This was
too much; the voice of the rector trembled
as he looked up and saw the fallen virgin
the scholars turned red in their faces
and the exercises were brought to hasty
clese.-HeGrth and Home.

The Carpet Bug.

The following, from the Boston Herald,
will be of interest to all housekeepers
whose homes have been or may be invad-
ed by the carpet bug:
The recently imported "carpet bug" or
"buffalo moth, =" the two names by which
the thing signifed is best known, threat
els to become a pest compared with
which the Colorado beetle will rank as
second in the order of destructiveness.
This misnamed moth is the larva of the
tiny beetle. so small as to escape obser-
walton unless specially looked for. The
writer's knowledge of it begun near the
close of July, 1874, when it was suddenly
discovered that every room of his house
in Cambridge was infested with numer
Gus black, hairy Larvae, about fourth of
an inch long, of oval shape and of very
quick motions. They were found chiefly
under the edges of the carpets, and wher-
ever larvae was lodged there hole was
eaten through the wooden portion of the
carpet. In back chamber, the flooring
of which was SO shrunken as to leave
wide crevices between the boards, the in
grain carpet was found to be cut in
places, along the cracks, for several inch
es, as if with scissors 1t vas the ap-
pearance of the cuts that led to thorough
search and to the discovery of the author
Of this mischief.
In August, 1874. several larvae were
placed in glass-covered boxes and their
changes watched. After casting their
skins one or more times, according to
their respective stages of growth, the
larv@ became motionless in October and
so remuined for some weeks. At length.
during the late tall and winter, those that
survived imprisonment without food split
lengthwise along the back and gave forth
each a small beetle, about an eighth of
an inch In length, spotted with white and
red. In March and April following, 1876,
numerous beetles of precisely the same
description were found crawling upon
the inside of the windows and many of
them were killed. After thorough beat
ing of the carpets, at the time of the
usual spring house cleaning, pepper, stuff
and various insect powders were strewn
about the borders of the floor, beneath the
edges OF the carpets. These were found
then and the next year absolutely in
etfectual as remedies, and, in spite of
them and of frequent examinations aad
killing, kept up throughout the summers
of 1875 al d 1875, the larvae were found
as numerous and as destructive as before
Kerosene oil was also tried to some ex-
tent, but its use was soon discontinued, as
1t was found to soil the carpets. One
point only was gained. Thick floor pa
per laid beneath carpets was found
to prevent any further eating along the
cracks.
In the spring OF 1877, after the clean
ing and beating, benzine was literally
applied by means of common fiat PASTE

alone. Lee had just gone to bed when he
heard noise in the kitchen, and going into
that room to learn the cause of the noise, was
confronted by the men, one stabbing him
twice in the neck, the other hitting him over
the head with club, rendering him insensi-
BILE. The robbers then fired two pistol shots
into his body, and robbing the house of some
$500 and other valuables departed. Lee re-
covered sufficiently during the night to
crawl to a neighbours, where aid was render
ed him and officers dispatched for the vii
lians, and succeeded in arresting them in
the town of Fitchburg. They were
brought to Madison and placed in Jail. Their
names are Ole Haverson, Nels and John And
erson, and are hard citizens. They confessed
the crime. The old man is in a prccarious
condition and he can barely recover.
HUNG BY MOB.
At Mount Vernon, Indiana, seven
negroes entered house of ill-fame and by
threats and violence succeeded in ravishing
five white women living there. Four of the
negroes were arrested. Deputy sheriff Thomas
and Hayes went to the residence OF Dan Har-
rison, father of one Of the three missing ones,
to make an arrest of his son. Dan Harrison re-
sisted the entrance to the house and shot
Deputy Thomas, killing him instantly. Deputy
Hayes shot the old man, shattering his arm.
The news spread rapidly, and soon a mob of
several hundred men surrounded the Jail
where the old man Harrison had been taken
to keep company with the four previously in
carcereted. The Jail is very insecure, and the
mob surrounded it to prevent the prisoners
being taken to Evansville for safe keeping.
Hearing that militia had been ordered from
Evansville at 900 A. M. train west was stopped
by the mob mile before reaching Mt. Vernon
and searched. Finding no soldiers, the train
was permitted to pass on. The crowd around
the Jail increased in proportion toward night.
The telegraph operator was run out of his
Office the $50 P. M. About 100 men in long
black masks proceeded to the jail at o'clock
took the four prisoners arrested Tuesday and
hung them in the Jail yard. The old man
Harrison was cut to pieces and thrown down
privy vault. After perpetating the horrible
deed the mob dispersed. The bodies of the
negroes hung all day long from the
branches of the locust trees in the courtyard
At o'clock they where cut down and buried
The town is still in state of tremendous ,ex
element over the affair. Nearly half score
of persons have lost their lives since the ter
rible tragedy began. But some of the ne
groes who were engaged in ravishing the
white women Monday night are at large,and il
caught will probably share the fate of theil
fellows.

ED. ENo.-Your last has just come to hand, bringing the sad intelligence of the death of T. F. Brinsmade- As remember him in years agone, there was genial warmth of welcome with him, shall not soon forget and more es- pecially as his was the first familiar face met on one of my return home visits, and the last time I ever saw him.
 We called to-day on Mrs. Balch who has just returned from winters sojourn in Florida for her health-and the friends in Harwinton will rejoice with us to learn of her greatly improv- ed health and vigor We were indeed surpris- ed to see her looking so well, and has increased our desire, (already sufficiently strong) to visit that sunny cline. May our Washington friends of the, Gunnery be equally successful in their health seeking. fb- ssa'}
 am rejoiced to see that the temperance wave"has struck the Old conservative state of Connecticut, and tbat the ''leaven is working" thereas elsewhere. Murphy was in Lyons about two years ago, but for some reason did not make much impression. A convert of his named Hoofsteller, reused us upto high state of enthusiasm, and out of two or three hundred reformed men, embracing some of the hardest cases in town, have heard of but one return ing to his cups They have finely fitted club rooms for reading and games, with grounds attached for outdoor sports and it is refresh ing to see them, all clothed, and in their right minds, paying upold debts that had stood long waiting, while the loose change all went to fill the coffers of the liquor sellers. It is also re- freshing to see how heartily they oppose the saloons, dreading the fire that has so cruelty burned them It was supposed we were to have $2OO license. The ordinance had pGss- ed to it's third and last reading, by 6 to , votes in the city council but, the last night, one of the blue ribbon men was absent, and the vote stood to , ; when ir was discovered to the consternation of the new members that It took a majority of the whole council CD to pass new ordinance and that they had only two days more in the year to do it in, to make it effective They adjourned over to the next night, and the next-telegraphing all over the country for their absent man, but could not find him, and it now looks as if everything in that direction had been lost in consequence, The old law is in force for the new year. and saloon keepers deposit their $25, and demand their licenses # K ##
