Getting Rid Of Ratr.

A correspondent of the English Nech0nis
gives one or two valuable hints for ridding
premises of rats. One very good plan, he
Gays, is 10 nail rcd herring on the wall of
the warehouse or place infested, abo ut
eighteen inches from the floor; on this; .
little to one side, beneath the fish, place .
brick OF piece of wood near the wall. At an
equal distance on the other side set an ordi-
nary steel snap-trap, not halted. The rats,
in Jumping of from the brick to get at the
herring, after few attempts are sure to fall
down in the trap. This il good permanent
plan, as it is somewhat above their compre-
hension. If rats have undermined the foun
dation walls, which they do sometimes to
such an extent as to endanger the building,
it is of no use to attempt to stop them out
by tsmping their burrows with broken glass
bottles, for they work diligently to make
fresh ones. A better way is to put shovel
full of dry sand over every hole. The rats
| soon come up through this, but in doing SO
| let half the sand into 1hs burrov, which,
unlike earth, they can not either force or
carry up again, and by repeating this at every
fresh opened place their runs become quite
filed up, and they make up your founda-
tions sgain. BY this means have known .
gransry that was terribly. infested with rats
quite cleared of them. All their burrows
being at last filed with sand, they were COM
PEELED to betake themselves elsewhere.

Fhert, is e e77' plplsSed in a Festaurant in this
Louis Octavius Woods. He is Kentuckian
by birth and an octoroon by blood. He is
so very nearly white that q person would
haye considerable trouble in pronounciny
him other than q. white man. In lS43 he
killed a white man in self defence, was tries,
defended BY Henry Clay and acquitted. A
reporter called at 162 South Clark street,
where Mr.. Woods is employed; and from him
obtained the. following particulars of the
affair:
the day that the killing occurred, Woods
was standing in front o.. the house of Viii
liam Emmerson, q. prominent citizen of
Winchester, Clark county, ky., when a
noted character, named Charles Tanks,
happened along. rtider tue influence OF
liquor, and thought he. would have
some "fun." Drawing a bowie ktife. he
nlnde for Woods, stabbing him once
in the forehead. once in the arm, and again
in the body. He was about to strike again,
when Woods Suddenly picked,up stick O..
wood, aud dealt his assassin blow that
killed him Instantly. AS soon as it became
kno IN that a 'njeger'' had killed a white
man, large, crowd assembled, and Mr.:
Woods says there is no doubt that they in.
tended to kill him. He took refuge in En-
merson's barn, where the feld-hands and the
Indies of the house defended him until he
was safely reno led to Jail. Here another
attempt was made to lynch him, but it was
not successful. Woods at this time was q
very Young man; was free, and had borne 4
good character. J., But tho tide of public
opinion in a slave State was strong against
him. Henry CLAW was then making an on
sleuglt on old customs that were tainted
with barbarity, and to hlm:the old father OF
Woods appealed for aid. Mr. Clay, with the
generosity which was characteristic Of him
responded al once. The case was taken be.
fore the grand jury 9 bill found
against the prisoner, and.in six weeks the
trial came of.S Mr. Clay had to contend
against popular prejudice. thatwas bitter in
the town where the killing occurred at time
when colored sman had no rights that a
white man. however brutal and depraved,
was required to respect. He nevertheless
decided to fight it out there. The point at
issue was whether a. colored man did not
have as good right to defend his life as a
white Man. In defence of his theory that
he mad. Mr.. Clay made cne of the mos. pow,
erful speeches of bis life, and tho jury re-
turned q verdict acquitting Woods wi, bout
| leaving their seats. That was thirty five
years ago. Since that time Mr.. Woods has
grown to Ike an old man. He has always
t'oFne good chara cter, and is a quiet and
peaceable citizen. :. He says thathe has only
been in Winchester twice since the affail
occurred, and then he did not tarry Very
long, IS tho people were still disposed
to snake it hot for him."
