"I he term buffalo moth is applied to

moths. The remedy, where the insects
have attacked the carpets, is to put Il
thoroughly wet cloth over the infested
spots, aud with very hot iron press over
this, so as to drive the steam through the
carpet. This kills ali the larva and eggs.
Preventive measures are strips of tar pa

be thoroughly swept at least once a week,
taking care to reach the edges and cor

The democrats up in Vermont are like
the irresponsible fellows around town who
can say anything they choose to without
fear OF consequences. They know that
their praise of the president in their reso-
lutions adopted at their state convention,
will not diminish the republican votes by
one, and so they are at liberty to indulge
in any talk which it may please them to
use. The rest of their platform is hash
of istuff and absurdity. Ii demands a
revenue tariff and enforcement of the
prohibltory liquor law whenever practi-

represents the party fairly, and it will
doubtless come, as usual, within 10000
votes of being elected, The compensa-

Springfield Union.l

In Maine as well as in New Hampshire,
the Democrats are giving the third party
Prohbitionists all the help possible in
the hope of drawing away Republican
voters enough from the Republican ticket
to give the Democracy Il chance. The
Democrats and the third party Prohibit
tionsts appear to be hunting in pairs this
year rather more than usual. The Demo
cratic managers bear in mind that 1855 is
coming, and every voter that they can
detach from the Republican party is so
much in their favor. Voters who do not
want to assist the Democrats Will let the
third party Prohibitionlsts alone.
