Electric BittoFs.

ELECTRIC BITTERs Is medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the lanRuid ex.
hsusted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need OF &
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use OF this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious severs.
No medicine will act moro surely in
counterscting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,

1t is a well-known fact that rats
and mice do not infest house at
the same time. Working upon
the hint AS to the nature of
rodents, n. X. Laureson of Yicks-
burg, Miss, has adopted scheme
by which he keeps himself rid of
both pests. This he accomplishes
by capturing a young rat and
training him to catch mice. This
singular mouser, whose name, by
the way, is Gar, is doubtless the
most successful one Oh record.
He has been taught to pounce
upon a mouse on short order,
without fear and without favor,
and he shows no mercy. OF
course, he can follow the mice in
to close quarters, aud never has
been known to lose his quarry.
Strange TO relate, large rats have
given the house the go by also,
seeming to understand that the
place belongs to Gar, and that
there must be no encrOacLment
upon his prerOgative.
