The aroma of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma OF black walnut
leaves is fatal to ileas. Ii is "A matter of
common observation that persons On
gagged in the business of making shingles
from odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely if ever
affected by mnlarial diseases, and that
persons engaged in distilling turpcntine
do not suffer from either malarial dis
eases or consumption. II is said that
when cholera was epidemic in Memphis,
Tenn, persons working in livery stables
were entirely exempt from it. 1t is
affirmed that since the destruction Of
the Glove trees on the island Of Tcrnato
the colony has suffered from epidcmics
unknown before; and in times when
cholera has prevailed in London and
Paris those employed in the pcrfumcry
factories have escaped its ravugcs. hos.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
ANsoN, TEX, Sept. 5.--W. G. M
Glazner, the jailer who was brutally beat
en- over the head by Add Cannon last
Tuesday night, died from the effects OF
his wounds this morning at 1880 O'Clock.
He never was conscious from the time he
received the wounds until his death. Mr..
Glazner was just in the prime OF life, and
was loved and respected by all who knew
him. He was a member of the PresbY-
terisn church. His having failed to make
anything on his farm this year caused
him 10 accept the position in the dis
charge Of which he lost his life. MI
Glszner leaves wife and family OF help

stances.
Cannon is still at large. Sheriff Scar
