\ certain young lady in town has
taken to advertising the Herald in
quite a novel way-by wearing it az
a hustle. The last we saw of her she
Was displaying the head of the paper
prominently with the advertisement

The following receipt for killing a
town, we clip from an exchange: eff
you wish to kill off IL town. put up no
more buildings than you are obliged
to occupy yourself. If you should
accidentally have an empty building,
and some one should want to rent it,
ask three times the actual value.
Look at every new conner with a
scowl. Turn cold shoulder to every
business man or mechanic seeking a
home among you. Go abroad for
wares, rather than purchase of your
own manufacturers at the same price.
Refuse to advertise, so that persons
at u distance. will not suppose any
business is being done in your town.
A prompt and close observance of
these rules will ruin any town in
three years.

vised early in the spring of a new
process of producing butter, as fol-
lows: Take young pumpkin about
the size of teacup, cut it from the
vine. leaving about two inches Of the
stem OH the pumpkin, insert the
pumpkin in a howl of cows milk and
renew the milk as fast as it is taken
up by the pumpkin. At the end of
the season cut open the pumpkin and
remove the butter. lie is testing the
plan. He says his pumpkin is grow
ing and is now as large as an ordin-
airy flour barrel. 1t requires daily all
the milk of two cows, and the farmer
expects by fall that his pumpkin will
develop into a hogshead already filed
with rich. golden. marketable butter.

A gentleman has examined Mr..
Mosquito under microscope, and his
description is, to say the least, start
ling. 1t appears THAT in the 'bill''
of the little beast alone there are no
fewer than five distinct surgical in
stuments. These are described as a
lance, two meat saws, a suction pump
and a small Corliss steam engine.
1t appears that when a "skeeter" set
ties down to his work upon a nice
tender portion of the human frame,
the lance is first pushed into the flesh
the two saws, placed back to back,
begin to work up and down, to en-
large the hole, then the pump is i'll
serted and the victims blood is 81
phoned up to the reservoirs carried
behind, and finally to complete the
tcruelty of the performance, the little
wretch drops quantity of poison
into the wound to keep it irritated.
Then the dilninutive fend takes fly
around just to digest your gore and
makes tracks for fresh victim. or if

good quality he returns to the same
