Rats in the Hog-Pen.
Farm, Field and Fireside.

Farm, Field and Fireslde.
There is nothing more detestable than a
pig-pen infested with rats, for the vermin not
only annoy the animals, but commit depre-
dations on every other portion of the farm.
The pig-pen fosters them principally as it is
there they get plenty to eat and can hide I'M
der the floors The best precaution is no
floors, but rats will keep within convenient
distance OF the pig-pen, be as careful as we
may. A swarm of rats will consume as much
as the same number of fowls and the damage
from burrowing gnawing and theft, is very
considerable.
Rats are very careful, and cannot be trap
ped or poisoned easily. The best plan to get
rid of them is to leave some of the hog feed
outside of the pen every evening The rats
will not touch it, perhaps at first; but after
awhile, if it is left there continually, they
will venture to taste it. The next evening,
if they find that no harm has occurred to
any one of their number from it, they will
eat a little more, until, finally, they will
look for it. By this time every rat on the
premises will be at the nightly banauets;
and, as they have gained confidence, all the
farmer has to do is to procure a reliable poi
son, and every rat is doomed. The whole
sale slaughter will prevent other rats from
coming, as they avoid dangerous places.

FORTY-sEvEN LIVES LOST.
Burning of a Theater on Lake Como-Fatal
Error of the Audience.


LONDON, June 25.-Intelligence of a fright
full calamity at place of amusement in De-
rivio, on the shore of Lake Como has just
been received. While performance was in
progress at the Puppet theater the structure
took fire and was entirely destroyed. Forty
seven lives were lost and twelve others in
jured. The show was in a large hall over a
tavern, and there were ninety persons in the
hall. A bengal light was used to represent
fire, and sparks from this set fire to guam
tity of straw and frewood in an adjacent
room. On perceiving the Games, the show
men shouted "fire!'' but the spectators
thought the cry was merely realistic bit of
the show, ana remained seated. Cries of
fire" were soon raised outside the hall, and
the audience, thinking an ARRAY had arisen
in the street, barred the heavy door leading
from the hall. They did not discover their
mistake until the flames burst into the room.
After the fire was extinguished, forty-seven
charred corpses were found near a table,
including the bodies of the Snowman and
his wife.
A large portion of the bodies at Dervio
are women and children. The wounded were
hurt by leaping through the windows. One
child was flung out of window by its
mother and fell upon pile of straw. This
is the only one of the spectators present in
the hall not hurt.
