RED PEPPER FOR RATS.
Rodents Quickly Move on When Made
Uncomfortable.

At this season of the year the rats
are won't to leave the barns and ware
houses where they have made their
summer homes and invade the cellars
of private residences. When poison
is used the results are often extreme
ly offensive for the rats die in their
holes and the odor arising from their
decayed bodies permeates the entire
vicinity. The Kankakee Gazette de-
clares that there is a much cheaper
and more effective remedy, and that
is to sprinkle red pepper in their
holes. The red pepper sticks to, the
feet of the rat and when he essays to
make his toilet he gets it in his eye
and up his nose. When this occurs
he vacates the spot with remarkable
alacrity. To be sure he goes over to
the neighbours house and thus the
prudent housewife obeys the old
adage, "If you have a good thing pass
it around" A rat that is too smart
for the trap and too wary to eat poison
cannot escape the red pepper and he
will not stay where he is subjected to
this annoyance.

40 YEARS AGO
Taken From The Herald OF
Sept. 2, 1861.

Capt. Farquhson's company of Gov
ernor's Guards is yet quartered in
Lancaster at the hotels. They hope
to be assigned to Col. Moore's regi-
ment.
The ladies of Lancaster treated
them handsomely to dinner on Sat-
urday-the managers Mrs. McGoni-
gal and Mrs. Jones, speech by }. L.
Mills, Esq. said to be from the iden-
teal manuscript prepared by Capt.
Farquhson and by him lost and after
wards found by some one and handed
to Mills. On this account the cap
tain was unprepared to compliment
the ladies as he designed and asks us
to make this explanation as an apol-
ogy. Many of the citizens partici-
pated, there beinglplenty for thou
Sand. The letter read on the occas-
ion from Rev. S. W. Eaton, chaplain
to the 9TH Wisconsin, to his little son
taught the lesson that even chaplains
are having hard and dangerous SER
vice. These men are aware that they
may fare hardly; there are no con-
cealments. Better so, for then there
can be no disappointments. In the
full knowledge of all, yet a happier
company Of men we have not seen nor
a more orderly and civil.
The advantages Of having leading
officer familiar with all the drill exe!-
cises may be seen by the progress this
company is making under the tutor
age of Capt. Farquhson. Soldiers
that have returned from the war and
seen this company drilling in simple
and complicated march say that they
are already as well or better drilled
than most companies after many
months instruction and practice under
officers who never lean ned the art be-
fore entering the service. The Cap
tain exercises his officers and men
much of the time, and they, seeing
one at the lead who understands his
business, take an immense interest :.

at least fifty mechanics representing
almost every useful art; Captain and
his two printers can run a printing
establishment, while the rest can
build town, make an engine, build
and run steamboat or saw mill,
carry on wagon factory, foandery,

mill, teach school, drive oxen,
carry on farming, numbering or any
other work. In the department of
