correctly done. and make q level top.
then bend a piece Of stiff wire In an
arch about one foot high, directly over
the diamond and suspend In tho center
OF 10 the bait out Of the rats way so that
they can see and smell Il well. Also
place four gallons Of water in tho cask,
and grease the sides, and In the center,
place q brick or stone only sufficient for
one rat to sit ON with comfort half an
inch above the level Of the water. The
first rat landed. finding itself like Robin

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1882.

In the general gloom which pre-
walls in Republican circles over the
result of Tuesdays elections, there
is one fact, at least, over which we
may sincerely rejoice. Jay A Hub
bell has been showed under, and
after next March he will retire to
private life. His unwarranted, not
to say corrupt use of the money
forced from the government clerks,
to secure the nomination Of his pets
for reelection to Congress has con-
tributed largely to the Republican
defeat, and his future obscurity will
be the party's strength. He was
not candid date for re election to the
House, but aspired to the Senate
He will fail IN his aspirations, an0
good Republicans will rejoice. Hub
bell is bad boss and his services
may we'll be spared. He is not sc
important factor in his party as h,
has supposed himself to be.

ocratic ticket" We have no idea
that he understand" any such a
thing. 1t is only a mean, cowardly
way of telling what he knew was a
lie. If Henri wants to go into this
thing we will furnish the proof that
Houk men furnished in some in
stances as many as four straight

Houk. His strikers were Sent into
all the counties four days before the
election, with propositions to vote
two 'straight Democratic tickets for
one for Houk And by this means
Houk received thousands of votes.
