ROUGE ON RODENTS.
The Effects of Chloride of Lime on the
Little Pests.

Little Pests.
"Allow me-" writes a correspondent
of Chambers Journal, 'to suggest sim
pie means of getting rid of those pests.
In the year 1865 was in command OF the
British vessel Tubal Cain, lying alongside
the wharf at Melbourne embarking Chi
nese passengers for Hong Kong. The
wharves were so infested with rats that
it was impossible to prevent their getting
on board, and my vessel was we'll stocked
with them. After being at sea few days
l mustered the passengers-with their
effects-on deck to give them an airing,
and for the purpose OF given the passen-
ger deck good cleansing and sprinkling
some chloride of lime mixed with water.
also had a couple Of buckets Of the same
mixture poured down the pumps. This
continued weekly, when, to my surprise,
the rats made a raid on the cabin
(pOop) on deck, and became so
troublesome that neither myself nor
my officers cared about turning
in at night. A happy thought
struck me-that the chloride of
lime had driven them from below deck; so
had everything cleared out of the cabin
and the storerOOms, and freely used the
mix ture. This had the desired effect, the
rats taking shelter in every available
place outside. This gave us some sport,
especially on a moonlight night, when all
hands engaged IN hunting rats and driv-
ing them overheard, so that by the time
we arrived at Hong Kong not one was
left on board. On my return to England 1
took a house and furnished it. After
being in it a short time l found that 1t was
infested with rats. They would get
through every part on the ground floor.
On examination l discovered that a drain
ran under the house, emptying into the
harbOr. | here again used the chloride of
lime freely, and in less then a week every
rat had taken its departure. / have
recommended this remedy to many ship
masters and friends on shore, and In all
cases 1t has proved a success. l have oc-
cupied my present residence for five
years, and we have neither rat nor
mouse on the premises. / attribute this
to the free use of the above mixture,
which is also effective as deodorizer and
disintectant."

We last week briefly announced the
tragic death of Maj. James Ralston, of
Rockingham. The Woodstock Herald
Oct. 2, gives the following particulars of
the lamentable event:
A distressing accident occurred at Cow
an 3 Station on the railroad in Rocking
ham county, on Saturday night, of last
week, by which Mai James Ralston. of
that county, was instantly killed. Mai.
RalstOn, who is a cattle dealer, started
with two car loads of cattle from Lin
vile, q station few miles south of
CowaIl's and on reaching the latter place
was informed by brakeman that some of
his cattle had gotten down in the car. He
went to the front Of the train to see after
them and before he could get back the
train started out from the station at an
unusual rate of speed. The train being a
long one Mai. Ralston found that it would
be dangerous for him to attempt to board
it when the passenger coach should reach
him and called to them to check up. No
response being made to this, and finding
that he would be left, he made an attempt
to get on flat car or gondola, loaded with
iron, but was thrown under the wheels
and the entire train passed over him, cut
ting open the left side from hip 10 shout
der, almost severing the arm, and tearing
the heart out and throwing it on the plat
form, where it was picked up and put
back in the body. The remains were at
once carried into the depot, and sent to
his home. While preparing the body for
burial undertaken Hyde found $169S, tied
round the ankle. Maj. Ralston was one
Of the most prominent and popular citi-
zens of Rockingham, and his sud and ter
rible death has cast a gloom over the en-
tire county. He was gallant soldier dur
ing the late war, serving as an officer in
the cavalry arm of the service.

Weather Signals.

The city having made an appropriation
for the purchase of weather signal flags,
the indications for the succeeding twenty
four hours will 0e displayed from the
Opera House every day. They will be re-
eeived by telegram, AMI the flag displayed
will indicate the character of the weather.
The first flag was put up Tuesday evening.
In order that our readers may under
stand the signals, we append the following
key, which 1T would be well to cut out and
preserve until the flags become so familiar
that there will be no occasion for reference.
The flags are six feet square and six in
number.
No. l. White flag, with large red sun in
centre, indicate" Higher Temperature or
warmer weather.
No. 2. White flag with red crescent in

A Card.

To the Republican Voters of the Legislative
District Composed Of the Counties of
Bath, Highland and Alleghany:
Since my nomination as a candidate to
represent you in the next Legislature of
the State by the convention which met at
Millboro on the 10th of September, and
since my conditional acceptance of the
honor then conferred upon me by that
convention, developments in my private
business affairs creating circumstances
beyond my control, have occurred which
make it absolutely necessary for me to
withdraw my name as candidate. AS
my affairs now stand could only con-
tinue candidate at a cost that would be
ruinous to me personally, and disastrous
to my family, and feel confident that you
will not insist upon my making such
sacrifice. Deeply regretting the necessity
that compels me to write this letter to
you, thanking you most heartily for the
honor which am compelled to decline,
assuring you OF my undylng zeal and 10y
atty to and for the Party. aud pledging my
best efforts to forward and secure the
election Of whatsoever may be nominated
in my stead, subscribe myself most re-
spectfully,
Your obedient servant,
