 and demonstrpted the. fact that, she is the fastest sloop in 

 the Country to windward in sen, for her victoiy over 

 ibc ' Coining" was scored entirely on weatherly qualities,

 their time being ouly six seconds. AYi'hin 28m. Is. from 

 the time of the "return of the first boat, fifteen of the boats 

 of flits class had passed the line. The Wanderer of this 

 class arrived some time later, and signified her intention of 

 protesting, on the ground that all the other yachts of her 

 dans 1 1 ml gone the wrong course.

 Lizzie, .Utile, Kate, aud Mary Ann— Fleelwing winner; of

 spective classes, no more races will take place for second 

 aud third class yachts. A race will now have to be sailed 

 between the first class yachts to decide to whom shall be 

 awarded the silver cup" in this class. This race will take 

 place on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

 that kind.

 penses if he will go to Pittsburg and row, about the middle

The book has evidently been compiled willi great care, and from offl- 



comingau annual. No expense has been spared in rendering il most at- 

 tractive, and the paper, typography, priming or the charts and gencval

Goon Moccasins. — Mr. Frank Good, the celebrated 

 shoepack maker of Manchester, New Hampshire, has re- 

 peatedly complained to us that he was unable to fill the 

 orders that reach him through his advertisement in Forest 

 and Stbeam, and our recommendations of his goods. No 

 doubt some of our readers have been prepared to bestow 

 upon Ut some modicun of censure, because the articles have 

 not been forthcoming, as we promised. All hands will 

 uow feel relieved to know that Mr. Good has so increased 

 his facilities for manufacturing that he can fill all orders 

 sent. We advise our readers to order only the Canadian 

 patterns and not the laced brogans. Good's goods are 

 good.

— A Valuable Recipe. — The Journal «/' Chemistry pub 

 lishes a recipe for the destruction of insects, which if il 

 be one-half as efficacious as it is claimed to be, will prove 

 invaluable: — 



Hot alum water is a recent suggestion as an iiiseciieide. 

 It will destroy red and black ants, cockroaches, Spiders, 

 chintz bugs, aud all the Crawling pests which infest our 

 houses. Take two pounds of alum and dissolve it in 

 three or four quart? of boiling water; let. it stand on the 

 tire till the alum disappears; then apply i I. with a _ brush, 

 while nearly boiling hot, to every joint and crevice iu your 

 closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves aud the like. Brtisli 

 Ihe crevices in the floor of the skirting or mop boards, if 

 you suspect that tbey harbor vermin. ~ If, in whitewashing 

 "a ceiling, plenty of alum is added to the lime, it will also 

 serve to keep insects at a distance. Cockroaches will llee 

 the paint which has been washed in cool alum water. 

 Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed from ants by drawing 

 a chalk mark just, around the edge of the top of them. 

 The mark must be unbroken, or they will creep over il , 

 but a continuous chalk mark half an inch in width will set 

 their depredations at naught. Powdered alum or borax 

 will keep the chintz bugs at a respectable distance, and 

 travellers should always carry a package in their hand- 

 bags, to scatter over and under their pillows in places 

 where they have reason to suspect the presence of such 

 bed-fellows.
