A Big Game Slaughter.

A correspondent from Summers
vile, W. Va, says: Henry Murray, a
farmer living in the mountains of Po-
cahontas county, has been annoyed
and damaged by the squirrels, chip
munks and other four-legged pests
which nightly swarmed from the
woods and ate his corn. They literally
destroyed everything before them
until he accidentally struck upon n
plan by which he has destroyed almost
all of the pests. He one day noticed
chicken which had stepped into a
little pool OF coal tar. The fowl wan
dered about few minutes, until it's
feet became SO covered with the leaves
and sticks upon which it stepped that
il could go no further and fell help
lessly to the ground. Murray, struck
with the idea suggested by the plight
Of the chicken, immediately set 10
work and filled "A large kettle with
coal tar, and other glutinous sub
stances, which he heated.
This conglomeration he spread
thickly upon the top rails OF the fence
which stretched around his corn field
and into the woods. Before day break
in the morning Murray, accompanied
by his boys and half a dozen dogs,
went into the corn field, and raising
a yell started the affrighted animals
by the dozen from their work OF de-
struction. In an instant IA line OF
gray, brown and striped animals were
jumping and scurrying along the top
of the fence towards the woods. Be
fore they reached the woods many Of
them had SO covered their feet and
sides with the gummy stun that they
either stuck fast or fell 10 the ground
when they were quickly dispatched.
In the open woods AT the end of the
fence the scene was an animated one
of rolling, tumbling squirrels, coons
and opossums, with feet, sides and
backs covered with the adhcring
leaves, sticks, etc, with which the
ground was covered. Sixty-seven
gray squirrels, thirty-four chipmunks,
three opossums and seven unlucky
coons fell victims Of Murray's tar
heel" mixture. A few others sue
ceeded in getting into the trees, but
they could not get out OF sight OF the
hunters, their feet either sticking To
the branches or failing To hold nj all
on account OF the punches OF leaves
adhering To them. In very short
time Murray literally depopulated
the side OF the mountain of the pests.
1t was but short time before the
story got out, aud now the entire
country is using Murray's recipe for
the destruction OF the pests which de-
stroy thousands OF dollars worth OF
corn and other cereals every year.

MOTHERS LOVE.

MOTHERS LOVE.
o. how love thee, baby fair!
With eyes so brown, and golden hair,
My thoughts are All OF thee.
Thou art the shrine OF all my care,
For all my love is center'd there.
What will thy future be?
Oft when gaze in thy dark eyes,
With fear. tremble with surprise
To see the depths within.
From whence the soul seems peeping thro'.
Waiting its time to will and do.
pray it do no sin.
I'll give to thee my watchful care,
And ask kind Heav'n my love-watch share.
To guide thee in the right,
That thou dost walk in wisdom's way;
Ne'er be by evil led astray,
Or doom'd TO sorrows night.
Father in Heav'n, to Thee pray!
Words fail me what my soul would say.
Thy help do implOre.
That Thy precious gift may raise
To manhood's prime-Thine be the praise
Now and forevermore.
