ON DESTROYING RATS.
Sir : —Th” following is a reply to your
correspondent’s inquiry as to the best mode
of destroying rats. Should he find eitherof
these methods succeed, he will oblige by a
reply through your paper.
Ist—Corks, cut as thin as sixpences, roast
ed or stewed in grease, and placed in their
tracks.
or—Dried sponge in small pieces, fried or
dipped in honey, with a little oil of rho
dium.
or—-Bird-lime, laid in their haunts, will
stick to their fur, and cause their depar
ture.
If a live rathe caught, and well rubbed or
brushed over with tar and train-oil, and
afterwards put to escape in the holes of
others, they will disappear.
Poisoning is a very dangerous and objec
tionable mode. If any of your chemical
readers could suggest any very pungent
smell, procurable from substances resemb
ling garlic or assnfvetida, this might be of
great use, as this animal has an extraordi
nary fineness or susceptibility of scent: wit
ness its extreme predilection for oil of rho
dium, &c. 1 consider your correspoti
dent’s query a very important one, and it is
surprising that the attention of farmers and
others concerned in the removal of these
vermin, has in this age of discovery been so
little drawn to the subject ; more particu
larly so, as the newspapers present so many
recent instances of attacks made by these
creatures on infants, <Vc.
I really think the matter more deserving
of notice than has hitherto been given to it;
and, apologizing for the present intrusion, I
remain, yours very truly.
A Constant Si-bsciuuer.
Bristol, March 10.
UNITING SWARMS OF BEES.
Two or more swarms of bees may be u
nited conveniently in the swarming season,
and when the swarms are small, or if it is
late in the season, there is a great advan
tage in putting a number of swarms togeth
er ; for a large body of bees will gather
more honey and consume less, in proportion
to their numbers, than a small number.—
And as in union there is strength, they are
better able to defend themselves against en
emies which usually attack the weakest
colonies.
We have united two young swarms as
late as the Bth of July, and they have col
lected honey enough for winter. But small
swarms, singly, will not usually do it.—
When many bees are together, they are
strong and resolute, and they pursue their
labors with activity and energy ; while fee
hie swarms often seem discouraged, and do
but little.
In cold weather, large swarms are kept
warm by the animal heat of a great num
ber, and only a little food is required : while
the small swarms suffer from cold, and like
other animals in this situation, they’ con
sume much more food than those that are
comfortable. A small swarm of bees will
consume nearly as much honey in winter
as a large swarm, with two or three times
the number of bees.
We have sometimes united large swarms
with good success, as they collect a great
deal of honey, winter well, if they have a
plenty of air and room, and they generally
send out many and large swarms the next
season.
In uniting swarms of bees in the swarm
ing season, put the first swarm into the hive
intended for the whole, and put it on the
stand as usual. When another swarm
comes out, whether it be in a few days or in
a week or fortnight, hive them in a low
hive, and in the evening lift up the first hive
and invert the last and set it under the oth
er.
The bees w ill go all into the upper hive,
and the other may be removed fn the morn
ing. B:es, are rather peaceful in the swar
ming season, and not likely to fight when
swarms are united, excepting the queens, |
which fight in single combat. The conque- j
ror rules the whole. We have often united
swarms of bees, and have invariably found
a dead queen in the lower hive in the mor
ning—Yankee Farmer.
w c once heard an intelligent farmer de
clare that the annual profit of a hive of
bees was equal to the profit on an acre of
wheat. If this is a fact, we should suppose
every fanner would engage in the business
in a small way, at least. There is some
times a difficulty in having more than one
hive swarming at a time. This may be a
voided by sprinkling a little water on the j
bees hanging upon the outside of the hive
—they probably think it is a natural show
er, retire to the hive and will appear again
in about half an hour. —Bangor Courier.
TOMATOES.
A celebrated writer observes, that “ the
common tomato, made into a gravy, by
stewing over the fire, and used as a sauce
lor meat, has been known to quicken the
action ofthe liver and bowels, better than
any medicine he ever made use of.” He
states further that “ When afflicted with an
action ofthe bowels, headache, a bad taste
of the mouth, straightness of the chest, and
a dull and painful heaviness of the region
of the liver, the whole of these symptoms
are removed by Tomato sauce, and the mind
in the course of some few hours, is put in
perfect tune.”
To make them into catsup, use one pint
of fine salt to one peck of Tomatoes ; bruise
them and let them stand two days ; then
strain them dry, and boil the juice until the
scum stops rising, with two ounces of black -
pepper, the same quantity of pimento or
alspice, one ounce of ginger, one of clove,
and a half an ounce of mace.
DISEASE OF HORSES—CURES.
Colt Distemper. —This disease is caused
frequently by neglecting to stable the ani
mal, exposure to cold, rain, &c. The con
sequence is a violent cold, with high fevers,
and a collection between the jaws or enlar
ged glands.
Treatment . —Take blood freely when the
disease is fairly developed, feed high on
mashes or scalded oats mixed with meal:
repeat the bleeding twice a week, and if the
swelling increases take ten to fifteen ears
of corn and boil it six or rdght hours, then
put it into a small blanket doubled, swing
it under the head four or five hours at a
time—repeat it three or four times ; then
lance it, and the colt is cured. Many per
sons force the colt to run and jump while
running at the nose, which I consider a bad
practice. Suppose a man extremely ill
was made to get out of bed, and run or
jump, the result would be death inevitable;
just so with a horse when exhausted and
enfeebled by sickness.
Founder. —This disease is also frequent
ly caused by irregular feeding. The ani
mal should be bled, (reely salted, and kept
from water. Make a very strong tea of
sassafras roots, and let it drink a quantity
three or four times a day. Dissolve three
or four ounces of assafuetida in a quart of
water and drench him—if he will not swal
low it, put some into his nostrils, and he
will be obliged to swallow, though it v ill
not hurt him. This I consider a certain
cure.
Thumps. —Thumps are caused by over
heating and fast riding or driving. Take
one pint of brandy or good whiskey, beat
up a quarter of a pound of black pepper,
mix it, and drench him. Or, take a dozen
eggs, hold up his head, break them, and put
them down his throat shell and all, and he
will recover immediately.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Infatuation. —A physician in Albany,
New York, says: “We read last week a
heart sickening account of the decease of a
fine and amiable young lady,who fell a vic
tim to fashion —she laced herself to death !
Apart from the prevailing infatuation which
leads females to commit elegant and re
fined suicide, she is said to have been an
uncommonly intelligent and promising girl.
The body r presented a dreadful sight. The
ribs were contracted to within half their na
tural circumference, and the shoulder
blades were actually lapped over each
other! The chest was of course extreme
ly narrow, and not half the natural room
was left for the action of the heart, and
inspiration of air into the lungs. The con
sequence was death.”
Another Abolition Outrage. —We extract
from the New York Commercial Advertiser
an account of the seizure in New Bedford
of a hired female servant of Mr.II. Ludlam,
of the city of Richmond.
Mr. L. has written a letter to his friends
in Richmond in which he gives a detail of
the circumstances of the arrest and abduc
tion of the girl, who actually hid herself
under a bed rather than leave the service
of Mrs. Ludlam, who was in feeble health
when she left home, and which was much
farther impaired by a rapid journey to see
her father, Jos. Dunbar, of N. Bedford,who
was lying at the point of death.
The crowd who entered the residence of
Mr. Dunbar were instigated to the act by’ a
Reverend gentleman of the city of New
Bedford, who was deaf to the voice of hu
manity’ as he is lost to the principles of com
mon honesty.
We feel satisfied that bloodshed will be
the result ere long of some of these fanatical
movements, for Southern gentlemen will
be found who will resist aggression upon
the sanctity of the domestic hearth at every
hazard ; and such continued infractions of
constitutional right will produce in the end
a non intercourse between the South and
the North.— Norfolk ( Va.) Beacon, 16 u/t.
MUTINY AND DEATH.
Under this head, the Boston Post gives a
most eloquent and thrilling account of an
occurrence which took place in Boston har
j hot - on the 12th ult. We have no room for
j the pathos, hut must content ourselves with
j giving the fact. It seems that a large bab
\ oon on board the U. S. Revenue Cutter
Hamilton, seized Capt. Sturgis by the neck
and rudely attempted to bite off his ears.—
The Captain disengaged himself, beat to
quarters, and sent the ‘ first division’ aloft
to drag down the mutinous ‘ foreigner’
from the main-rigging, whither he had fled.
He leaped on deck, and just as he tvas ma
king the last charge, his skull was cleft in
twain by a sword in the Captain’s hand.
N. Y. Tribune.
Writing on Newspapers. —The Philadel
phia North American says, the U. S. Dis
j trict Attorney in New-York, has received
i from the Post Office Department, a quanti
ty of newspapers with their margins filled
with writing. He is directed to proceed a
gainst the individual aggressors according
to the Post Office laws. Frauds to an enor
mous extent are practised this way. Ma
ny individuals who send journals westward
are accustomed to fill their margins with
details of domestic affairs. A paper of this
sort fell in our way once, which contained
a protestation of love and all its nameless
endearments in full. All this on the mar
gin of a newspaper!
Neglecting the Antecedent. —Some very
whimsical instances of this occur continual
ly,especially in the answer of witnesses,
when given literally as they speak. In a
recent assault case, for instance, the prose
cutor swore tliat he (the prisoner) struck
me with a broom on the head till he broke
the top of it. In narrating an accident,
some time since, we saw it stated that a poor
old woman was run over by a cart aged six
ty. So in case of supposed poisoning, he
had something in a blue paper in his hand,
and I saw him lean his head over the pot
and put it in. Another of circulating base
coin: he snatched the half dollar from the
boy which lie swallowed. Here “which”
seems to mark the boy, not the money ; but
still the sentence reads incorrectly. An
old fellow who for several years sold com
bustible matches had the following as his
invariable address: “Will you buy some
matches of an old man made of the, best kind
of wood l" — N. O. Bulletin.
Look out for Snakes. —A little child of
Mr. Diselbiss of this place, being out at
play with several others a few days since,
strayed off by himself, and while sitting on
the ground a large snake coiled itself a
round his neck & arm. As the reptile began
to tighten his folds the little fellow became
terribly frightened and screamed lustily.—
Ilis companions hastened towards him, but
no sooner saw its writhing form and hissing
than they screamed also and fled in terror.
The serpent was by this time alarmed too,
and quickly uncoiling itself, made its es
cape. It is not known of what species the
snake was, as none but children saw it, and
they were too much alarmed to observe it
closely. This took place in the morning,
and at night a reddish mark eacircling the
neck of the child was visible, showing the
force with which it had been compressed.—
Black snakes have been known to attack
people in this way, but we are not aware
that any are found in this country. — Peoria
Register.
SELECTED ITEMS.
A Temperance Fact. —The Pennsylvani
an of the Bth says : It is not remembered
that at any previous 4th of July, so few ac
cidents have occurred in the city and its
environs. We learn that not a single case
lias been brought to the City Hospital, ori
ginating in any casualty within the last 4
or 5 days, inclusive of the 4th—a circum
stance altogether unprecedented.
Prentice of the Louisville Journal says,
that if he had all the boots and shoes with
which the editor of the Advertiser has been
kicked, lie should be able to set up an ex
tensive shoe store.
A Thief Detector has been invented by a
Mr. W. P. Banher, of Boston, which is a
piece of machinery introduced intD locks,
and attached to an air-chamber. When
the machinery is set in motion, it opens a
whistle like that attached to locomotives,
which continues to blow and sound an a
larm until the machine is run down.
The New-Hampshire Patriot “prays”
that the country may be delivered from a
Bank and Whig misrule. It is cheering to
see a Loco foco pray for any thing.
N. American.
TP r esl Point. —The annual cost of keep
ing this military school is one hundred and
twenty-eight thousand dollars. The pay
of a cadet is twenty-eight dollars per month
and found.
A Substitute. —The Boston Transcript
speaks of a boarding-school, in which, when
they are short of bread, they give the boys
medicine as a substitute.
Tiie Globe says, t hat “such patriotism
as Mr. Clay’s will not answer.” True e
nough. It will not answer, for it can't be
questioned. Louisville Journal.
Isaac Hill, who makes great pretensions
to modern democracy, complains that Mr.
Gordon, the new Whig Postmaster at Bos
ton, is the son of a man “ who belonged to
the common class of society-”

Consumption and Liver Complaint'. —As at
general remedy for these diseases I am fully sat- :
isfied, from long experience, there is no Medi
cine equal to Dr. Taylor’s Balsam ot J, venvort.
Being purely vegetable, it can ho used with the
j utmost safety by all persons in every condition
| It cleanses the lungs by expectoration, relieves
i difficult breathing, and seems to heal the chest.
There can be no question, but this medicine is a
certain cure for chronic coughs and colds. I
have used it. for four years in my practice, and
always with success.
A. F. ROGERS, M. D.
To Females. —The number of females in deli
cate health, is truly surprising. Weakness, loss
of appetite, liver complaints, and many other dis
eases, prey upon them, making them paie arid
lean of flesh. All this can he remedied by the
use of strengthening medicine, that will assist
nature in all her movements, restore tor.e to the
nerves and muscular organs. Os this kind is
Dr. Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, which being j
j mild and purely vegetable, answers females ad- !
mirably. If all will use it, we are confident an ;
elastic step, good appetite, and ruddy cheeks will
follow. Once more, remember, the original and
genuine is made at 375 Bowery.
O’ Spitting of Blood. —This disease consists
of a discharge of blood, often frothy, from the
mouth, brought up with hawking and coughing,
and is usually accompanied with difficulty of
breathing, and some pain in the chest. Some
times it is preceded by an oppression of the
chest, a dry tickling cough, and slight shooting
pains. This disease is always more or loss dan
gerous. The great danger is that these symp
toms may termi.-.atc in consumption, and imme
diate remedies can alone save this end. But Dr.
Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort is a suie remedy,
and to show its unparalleled success, certificates
of cures from 421 citizens, and many physicians,
will be published in a few days.
if j Nervous Diseases and Weakness—Dr.
Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort, made at 375 Bow
ery, is assuredly an excellent remedy for these
diseases. My wife lias been more or less ill for
ten years. IShc was extremely nervous, and at
times so weak that slie could not attend to her
domestic duties. By the use of this medicine,
her strengili is wholly restored, and she is as
healthy as 1 can wish her to ho. My address is
at Dr. Taylor’s office.
Cure of Consumption. —Mrs. Martin, a worthy
member of my congregation, was taken ill some
time since with a cold, pain in the breast, and
some difficulty of breathing, and in a few days
thereafter! she had a violent cough and a violent
pain in the sides, which no medicine would re
lieve. She continued in this way for a long
time, under the medical care of Dr. Rea, but fi
nally became consumptive, an ! was evidently
near the end ol her earthly sufferings, when her
brother persuaded her to try Dr. Taylor’s Balsam
of Liverwort. When she commenced this med
icine, it did not seem to agree with her for a few
days, but by lessening the dose, she found it an
swered admirably : it relieved her cough and Iter
difficulty of breathing instanler ; and we had the
pleasure of witnessing her rapid recovery to
health. Rev. WILLIAM SMYTHE.

pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of cumplctiirg the survey ot ihoVitate,
on the original plan: if done at all, it must be
at. individual risk and expense.
It. isnecilless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following
out. the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
! the State has been contributing her mite, luiui
! bio as it may be on the part oi her agent, to the
j cause of general science in our country, and the
j advancement of intellectual improvement among
| her citizens, in accordance with other States cf
1 iiie Union. There is but one ah : math c. lathe

tion obtained by lour years investigation of the

fort tortile benefit and honor ot Ids adopted State,
to proceed with the survey Fnm former ex
perience ol the unbounded liberality and gene-
j rous hospitality of his follow citizens, in difter

I That a complete survey may he made of the rc
j maining- counties of the Slate, and the whole

] is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
; an area of sixty thousand square miles, being
j and iitute of a single correct Map, Oeogiaj hy, or
jho lory of the same. A majority oi t lie citizens
I must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
j rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci- 1
! lies of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
hkate Geologist, in different parts of the Elate,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall Lc able to
meet the approbation oi his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising frptn subscript ion for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion ot the
survey of the remainiug counties of tlie State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.
