ACunE FOR BED BUGs.-We just heard
of the manner in which one of our citi.
zsns disposed of the bed bugs that have
been troubling him for week past, thu
manner being both novel and unique,
but still we do not recommend it to the
balance of our citizens who are troubled
with the same nuisance, although 1t is
sure cure. The citizen to whom we have
reference, being troubled during tho
night by the bugs, arose early in the
morning, and knowing the bugs were yet
around the bedstead, seeking whom they
might devour, he took his coal oil can.
saturated the bedstead. and then placed
a lighted match to the coal oil. Soon
there was terrific blaze and an uproar
around that room, and the proprietor of
that bedstead was dancing around like
demented individual A couple of pairs
Of blankets we're utterly ruined in saving
the house from becoming a prey to the
flames. He intends enduring the bugs
after this, unless be has better remedy
than coal oil.

might develop into something astound-
ing. If the writer OF that article will APP
ply he shall have the Presidency OF our
club, without references.
