TUESI.AY EVENING, AUGUST IG. Catching Rats With a Hook?A re j'orter, browsing about between midnigK and I o'clock yesterday morning, saw a man standing near one of the electric light poflte on Washington street waving a long horsewhip 'back and forth high above bis head. He had a fishhook on the end of the whip, to which was attached a moth miller, and he explained that with this bait he cap tured the bate that were foraging among the insects around the electric light. He said he got half a dollar apiece for them, and that he had already caught .-even that night. He sold them to the taxidermists, and said that he could get more for them in Boston. He spoke of hiring a man to help him, as he could catch enough then to pay him for shipping them to Boston. He caught two while the reporter remained to watch the operation, and he picked them oLVtbe hook and put them in a bag that he carried slung across his shoulder.? Providence (Ii. I.,) Journal.

F The Gazettk ia now the oldest paper lr. the State, and with few exceptions the old? est in the country, and its usefulness has been demonstrated and appreciated during the eighty-seven yeabs of its existence. In its columns has always been found a mirror of passing events, and the careful chroni? cling of the history of what is going on in the world has ever been its aim. It is always welcomed in the household, while in the counting room and workshop it has become invaluable. The Gazette has better facilities for ob? taining news than any paper outside of i In national capital. Situated as it is so close to the great centre of new?, it enjoys daily the benefit of the Associated Press dis patches from every part of the world ; hence its patrons can read from its columns in the evening what has transpired that day in every portion of our own domain as well :. from every part of the habitable globe. Consequently it la an every day occurrence for the Gazette to publish telegrams from the various European capitals twelve and fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa? pers. Another feature that serves to make tin Gazette a great desideratum with mer chants is its afternoon market reports from New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othei centres. The local department furnishes a full ami complete history of everything that occurs n and near the city, and this feature will as ever, receive careful attention. Correspondence from Washington, Hieb mond and every section of theState, is pub? lished regulariy, and all events of interest occurring within the bounds of the Com? monwealth aro to be found in the column" of the Gazette. The Gazette's circulation is htcadily in creasing, especially among peoplo who con? sult its advertising columns before purchas? ing. That this is self-evident may ho infer? red from the fact that a largo country edi? tion?nearly as large as the daily?-is soul all over this section of country threo Limes a week, and is read by thousands, most of whom send here or to contiguous cities to make purchases. The advantages of ad? vertising in the Gazette are, therefore, ap darent. rates of subscription. Daily Gazette, per annum, ? ? ? $6 00 Tri-weekly Gazette, for country, - 4 00 JOB PRINTING.
