of a five dollar piece. A referee of su-
preme powers, from which it was
agreed that there should be no appeal,
was agreed on, and the pummeling
began in good shape. The worsted In
dian received a sumner between the
eyes, which caused him to drop like

A Simple Receipt.

An exchange gives the following
cheap rece ipt for externinating flies
A hall teaspoonful of black pepper,
finely ground, should be mixed with
double the quantity of brown sugar
and the compound moistened with
cream. The flies will generally eat
Rreedily of this mixture, if placed
where they can easily reach it, but
it will be their last meal; the least
taste to a fly is rank poison. II
watched they will be seen to drop dead
within a few feet Of the place which
they had just left, and some Of the
healthiest eaters do not leave the
place.
