CANNING FIM IT.— A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman seasonably reminds u* that many fruits
may be preserved with little or no sugar, lie says :
Currants, gooseberries, peaches-, and pears-require
no sugar to pre serve iheia. RaSpbemos and black
berries do not require more than four ounces ofsugar
to a pound of fruit, and strawberries but little more.
We have now the different "kind, n< ; riy as fresh

FEMAI.II FftiExnpinP.—A curious trial is coming
off at the Lincoln a? vies. A married woman of the
name of Martha Howell had fallen,' it appears so des
perately in love with a young woman of the name of
Johnson living at Gainsborough, that after various fits
of wild jealousy and violence caused hy Miss Johnsons
preference for other companions, she loaded a pistol
and gave her her choice between returning to her
old friend-hip or dying on the spot, after which
Martha Howell intended to destroy herself. She
put toe much powder into the pistol, which jerked it
upwards, so that though the pistol went off Miss
Johnson escaped, tut of the intention to kill there
can Le no doubt. Howe!! is said to bo quite compo
sed and clear in her mind, and to have expressed fre
quently her coirret that site did net succeed, and her
perfect willingness to bo hanged if she had. Wo*

They took the papers, however, and the bearer also.

a certain bill then under discussion, that he had
prophesied, during the previous winter, that the hill
would be agaiu brouelu forward, and be was now
very sdrty to.nnd that he had prou yd a. tru" prophet..
Lorff Coningshury, who spoke after the bishop, in
his usual abusive style, desired the House to take
notice that one of the right reverend prelates had
eet himself forth as a prophet; but for his part he
was at a loss what prophet to liken him to, uuless it
was the famous prophet Bahtam, who was rcDroved
by his own a--. Atte'rbury, in reply, calmly ex
posed the rude attack, concluding 'as follows
"Since tho noble lord has discovered in our manners
such a siinjlftde, I am content to he compared to the
prophet Balaam—but; my lords, I am at a loss how
to make out die other part of the parallel—T am

Extraordinary Kailroad Accident.
XAItROW ESCAPE OF THREE HCXEREH PA-SENCEItS.
A singular railroad :iccident. fortunately not at
tended with loss of btinian life, occurred on the
Reading road, about a mile below Norristown. Penn
sylvania, on the 4th instant, two coal cars were fol
lowing each other, moving north. The leading train
stopped suddenly, and its rear end was almost im
• mediately struck by its successor, at least a dozen
empty coal ears being broken aud thrown ia all di
rections by th - concussion.
Some or these cars obstructed the adjacent track,
down which the express passenger train from pots-
Ville. and Ilarrisburg came wihin one minute of the
' collisioa of the coal trains. The engine of the pas
senger cars dashed through the obstructions with the
loss only of its ornaments, but the succeeding bag
gage and express cars were not so fortunate, but
were thrown from the track, overset and were bro
ken into fragments, with all their contents.
The neighboring telegraph JJpoles and wires were
all destroyed. The breaking of the coupling between
the express ami emigrant cars alone saved tire-entire
train, with the three hunered passengers, from des
truction. The accident was one against which no
foresight bouid have provided, and the manner in
which itoccurredwas extraordinary. The passenges
from the express train reached N orris town byway
of the Philadelphia, Ge-rinantown and Norristowa
railroad.
