The last cumber of the London Quarterly Review contained an iuiero-sting article on the habits fcc. of rats, ia which the iu&tsnces giv en of their fecundity, ferocity and ingenuity, are almost incredible A single pair of rats, in three years, if un disturbed, will have thirteen litters of eight each at a birth, and the young will begin lit tering in the' ratio when six months old, so that at the end of three jears a single pair will have multiplied to G5G,SC8." Calculating that ten rats cat as much ia one day as a man, the consumption of these would be equal to that of G4.00S men, It id clear then, th.it it it were not for the extraordinary diminution ia their numbers, caused by the ceaseless war fare carried on against them by dogs, cats, polecats, otters, snakes, cud bejoad all, hu man rat-catchers, the whiskered vcriniu would speedily cause a famine in every part of the world in which they are found Hats are great travellers.

Years agone, when tho course cf trade ran in a counter direction to what we now be hold, owing to a severe drought, the city of Sandusky underwent all the horrors cf a pro tracted famine. -The water on the bar at the bay was so low that vessels were unable to reach the pot t, and as there was do land trans portation at that time which could be relied upon in case ot sudden emergency, it appear ed as; "if Providence had forsaken the place entirely, and that it3 inhabitants must soon pcrifch. For days ana weeks their stock of provisions had been gradually f isappeariog, until soon all was gone, and their only relU auee was upon a few fish which they were enabled to obtain f.-ota the water of the bay, and an oecasionrl meagre supply of game from th2 neighboring forest. " At the time of which we write, the woods in that vicinity, and in fact throughout the Western Reserve, were frequented by vast numbers of wild hogs which obtained a boun tiful subsistence and grew fat upon the ehack which every whcri abou.tdcd. These hogs were doubtless originally estrays, but the sprr?encss of th population ia the iuteiior, a::d the rapidity with which they multiplied, renocreu tacm strangeis to man and very shy cf his presence.

THouHuds of hogs, iu cpns?i.r.ueo of frfquentiug this spot, beeanio toialJy blind; tut still, with all the cunning which belongs to tbis perverse race in their natural ttate, they continued to elude their hunter j. .

Nervi to desperation by 'this re-j flection but stili with feeblc st'ip.5, he took his.j way to the forest, resolved not t-y return with j out relief in some shape., ,L. ; 'For a long time he hunted ia vain trn- j versea iniies ot weary patnuav, wituout s'j much as seeing a single evidence cf animated nature, until he was cu the point of yielding to despair At this monieut a noise, as of approaching footsteps, attracted his attention, and he paused, with every faculty rendered keen by hunger, to Usieu. .Nearer and near er camo the tramping, end just as Joe, to screen himself from observation, took shelter behind a tree a wild hog emerged from 'the thicket, advancing directly toward him, fol lowed immediately by another and another si 'vTho hunter, trembled with acxtcty and excitement, raised In gun, but sullenly pju.-ed iu astoiirsbnient at. the singular phe Jiomcuou before him.

''.The hunter comprehended the scene in a moment, and instantly decided upoa his course lining his gun deliberately, he 'fired, and severed the tail of the leader close to the "root. His affrighted leadership,' with a loud squeal, bounded info the thicket and disappeared, while his blind companions came to a dead halt. Joe quickly divested himself of his boots and crept stealthily up to the first of the band, whieh stood quietly holding in his mouth the amputated tail e his former con ductor This the hunter seized and commen ced gently pulling upon it First one hog started, then aaother, then another, until soon, like a train f earn, all were in motion, and. without pausing to rest for a - single iu stnnt, Joe. led them quietly into a huge pen near his residence, where th-?y were socn slaughtered, and llie city teas saved."

A short time since it wss stated in a Democratic- paper in Western "New York, that "the Territorial Legislature had repeal ed section twelve of the law to punish offences against slave property, and also that portion of the eleventh section of the law regulating elcc'tions, which requires a voter, when chal longed, to' take an cath to support the fugitive slave hiws of 179'J and 1850, and the Kansas Nebraska. Act of 18ol, and that tli3 person offering to vorc, and refusing to take such oath if required, shall not be allowed to vote." The Blac-ic Republicans could not tolerate this reduction of theic political capital; so there appeared at once in thr-ir papers t( b.-yraphic despatches from St Louis stating that the "test-oath law" was not repealed, and I am informed such a statement has appeared in one of the journal iu this city. Permit me, then through the medium of your paper, to give the fir:t to the people 1 was present when the votes were taken on the- r. peal of both these seeiious, and know that the repealing acts pas.-ed.

Id. Ward. The following from the Toledo (Ohio) Com mercial, of the Oth, is one the most horrid and dreadful tilings in the annals of crime : Through the politeness cf our worthy Sher iff, L. J. Springer, Esq., we last evening paid a visit to -R- J 3. Ward, who gave us the following confession of the murder of his wife Ward Teemed to be deeply affected, frequent ly interrupting his disclosures by exclamations of deep sorrow and regret for the crime which he had committed, and giving U3 a complete disclosure of the sy.ue. . After taking dva his confession we read the same to him. when he pronounced if correct, and we give it to our readers as we had it from his own lips, iu the prcseaee of the Sheriff aal others. CONFESSION. i 1 On Tuesday evening. February 3, 1S57, Mrs Ward an Jiays?lf had some words, du ring which Mr3. Ward struck rao on the head with a fluid lamp, ako oa the right side of the nose, causing the same to bleed freely. I begged her not to strike me, and took the lamp away from her, then went to bed. We arose between six and seven ocloek on Wednesday morning." I spoke to her about the blow she had given rue, showing her where she had struck me th'j evening previous; also the blood on the bolstsr and tick. She said she wished I had bled to death, and pi-.-king up a stick of hickory wood she attimpsed to strike ni3 I warded off the blow, which fill up 33 my right thumb, laming it severely. The stick fell from her h-aivl, and as she ctoope l to pick it up, I seize ! a flatiron, and, iu the beat of passion, str'uck l.cr with it on th j right tide of the he.d upoa aad under the riht c-ir, driving the earring isio the fiea She fell to the floo", exclaiming. "Oh, W-ard, you have killed mo!" I dropped the fhitirou and went to her. She was lying on her side. I turnel bnr over cr her back and placed a petticoat under her he.id supposing sho was only stunned. I made use ofsuc'i means iu uy p.OTer to restore her ; but in about half an hour after the blow was given, she died, having only spoken once af ter the first exclamation, "Ob. my Nellie 1" meaning as I supposed, her littlj girl. . After she was dead I wrapped her heal in a petticoat aud drew the body under the bed, to conceal it in case any one should coma ia. About half rast 'eight o'clock William II. Nn thaa, a mulatto boy, came to the door with some milk ,catne in the shop, took the milk from him and he left. I then went to Liba Allen's grocery, bought a pound of sugar, told hiai I was going away: . I then returned to the house, and after' a short time commenced cutting up the body ; I tore, the clothes open from the throat down ; I thm tcok a small poekct-kaifo aud opened the body, took out the bowels first and pot them ia the stove upon tha wooJj they wer.o' filled with air and would make- a noLs in ,e spieling ; took my - knife and pricked holei , through therii t proven t the noise, then took crat'thj liver and h:'art, and put them in the stove ; found it very dif ficult to bum them ; had to take tha rpoker and frequently stir them before they coukl be destroyed; found the lungs very much decaj ed. Then took out the blood remaining in the cav ity of tho body, by placing a copper kettle close to the same and s.coaplug it out with my hands I then dipped portions of her clo thing jrt the sauw aui burnt it together, fear ing if I put tho blood iu the stove alone that it might be discovered.-' I . tLeu made aa in cision through the flesh along down each.side J' I rolio oft tlio ribs and took out the breast bone, throwing it into a large boiler ; then unjointed the arms at the shoulders, doubled them up and plaeed them in the boiler ; then severed the reaaining " portion" of the body, by placing a stick of wood under the back, ami breaking the backbone over th sam?, cutting away tho flesh and ligament with a knifj ; then tried to seyyr tLe head from the body ; it proving iueffeetua!, I then put the J whole upper portion of th j body into the boil er. Then took V large carving-knife and sev ered the lower portion of ihe body.. unjointed the legs and knees, and again at tho hip joint; cut the thighs open and took out the bou.s aud ; burnt the in up; they burnt very rapidly. On Thursday night I commenced burning the body by placing the upper and baek por tion of the" same, together with the head, in the store. On Friday morning, finding .tha-.. it had not been consumed,' ! built a large jre br placing wood around and under it, and in a short time it was wholly consumed txcept some portion of the larger bopesofi.no skull. The remaining portions of tho body were kept iu tee boiler and ia tabs uodcr tho bed, cov ered up with a corded petticoat, and were there at the time tho first searc)i was made on Saturday by Constable Curtis. Hearing on .C!.itiirit.w vpnin"' that t'oo pitizons wore not UKbUl uj ' 3 . satisfied with the search r.itrlo by Curtis, I proceeded on Sundnj morning to destroy the remaining portious of tho body by burning tho same in too stove, cutting the. fleshy part of the thighs ia small, strips, the more read ily to dispose of the:r. On M01 cUy morn ing I took up the ashes ia a small keg, sifibtg out tile larger pieces of bone with my bauds placing the same ia ray overcoat pockets, which 1 scattered ih various plac sin the fields at different times.
