Pi* Citr*T CAKC*—Put qnarter of a
pound of frredi. sweet-leaf lard and quar
ter of a pound <ff butter into three pounds
of fl.mr, atid rub them in well with the
hands. Moke into a stiff dough with iced
water. rdl it out into thin cake*, and
bake them on floured tins iu a quick oven.
Otutnv. —Celery that i* not sufficiently
blanched when read nights come on. and

up to the topmost point of the leaveso
then cover with straw or board*. TV bed
the ground begin* to freexe, dig up. and
place all in a narrow trench, in some dry
and convenient place, where it can be
protected from frost and still be gotten
when wanted for use. Pure sand is 1 otter
than soil to pack in among the reoU and
stems for winter preservation.
SLAP JACKS.— Dkaoire a Uhleapooaful
of hi-carbonate of soda in a little warm
water, and stir it Into a quart ot sour
milk; add three well beaten egg* and
flour enough to make a very thin hatter.
Beat it till light; grease a spider and set
it over the tire. Put on hatter enough to
make a round, thin cake, turn it when
half done, and hake brown and light.
Pile the slap jacks on hot plate*, with
butter, sugar, and spice on each one.
Put the pile down ia quarters, and aerve
very hot.
BAKED BUS* —Koiwicn. —Take smal!
wliite Ivesns, put to soak at 6 p. v., in u

eveninc, ami again next morning, and
parboil for two hour*, chancing the water
at the end ot the second hour. Then poor
oIF nearly all the water: take raw pork
aeon red on top; pot the leans in a deep
dish, the pork in the middle, sinking it
so as to have it just level with the surf ice.
Add a very little molasses, and hake at
least six hour*, raising the pork toward
the last so that it may crisp on top.
To MAKE WORSKKT PIOKIT*.—In these
degenerate Java we often get hold of
whi>kev that will eat no cucumber* speed
ilv. Better leave such liquor for the hu
man stomachs which crave it and bny
alcohol pure. It is just as cheap, for it
can be reduced with water according to
it* Srengtk. 1 have used a gallon of alco
hol to five or six of soft water. Pick
your cncntnbers, wash them carefully, so
as not to braise them, and put them in a*
fast a* they are collected. Stir them up j
from the bottom every day, and stir in the i
scum thst rises as they work. This pro
cess soon makes good pickles and sharp
vinegar. The son or fire hastens the pro
rm The pickles are nicer if small.—
o*w firmer.
UxritUNti BraoK CAKE.—Weigh one
ponnd of fresh eggs in the shell.an equal
weight of pulverised white sugar, half a
pound of fine flonr. Break the egg* and
beat separately the yolks and whites \
We alwsvs, when practicable, have one
person to heat the yolks steadily the
same length of time t take* ano her per
son to be d the whites until they stand j
rp perfect !y stiff and dry. Add the sifted
sugar gradually to the yolk*, then mix
in the white®. Lastly, cream gently in j
the flour, and be sure not to beat at ah j
afterward, or you will certainly spoil the
cake. Orate in the p<el of one lemon,
and add also its strained juice; more if
tie fruit is iudifferent. Lemon is ineoni
}>ab!y to be preft-rred ss the seasoning

be obtained, substitute m ice.
IMPORTANT FACT IN GRAVE CRXTRKB.
—We would mention a Let which has*
come within our observation and experi
ence, which if generally true, is of some ,
importance. It is this :—That the fruit
bad from the base of the past year's cane
throws out larger and better developed |
grapes than either the first cr second.
The grupes from these buds seem also
better flavored, and generally superior
to those on the first or second. In ac
cordance with this hint, we have adopted
the plan of cutting the cane at such :
lengths as to leave the thir I bud, j
generally, and sometimes the fourth,
when a good strong one, an.l then rub
hing off the first aud Record buds, and
leaviug the third and fourtn for fruit.
The nnmber of fruit bads left on the
v'ne must depend on the age and
strength of the rine. If the vines arc
strong and vigorous at three years, from
two to three bunches of grapes may be
allowed to mature on each branch with- j
oat injury.— Paeijic Rural Prut.
HOCBS POB FARM LABOB.— A paper
on this subject was read at a meeting for
discussion of the Backs County (Penn.)!
Agricultural Society, by W. C. Black fan.
He thought ten hours a day a fair allot
ment for farm hands, bnt with the con
tingencies of weather this could not al
wavs be exietly arranged, and it is more
in his opinion than is accomplished on
the average. He offered the following
suggestion, which is wortbv of attention
by others : "I do not see how this mat
ter of farmers working on time is ever to j
bfc bronght about. We must make and
prepare our crops while the sun shines,
and arrange our work for dull days
within our buddings ; and if voar hands
work over time, give tbem a leisure day !
or half a day occasionally, and let tbem ■
know what it is for. They will general
ly appreciate it, and you will gain more
than yon wilt lose. It will make them
feel a far greater interest in their work,
which will be to your advantage. This
has been my arrangement with my hands j
and I have never heard them say any-!
thing about working on time."
FATTENING Iloos.—A writer in the
Pntirie Farmer gives his experience as
follows: "I was ju*t beginning to farm,
and f was desm-us of knowirg the best
way of fattening hogs, I determined to try
the different plana, and also how much
pork a binel of corn will make. I made
a floored pen and covered it in. Weighed
three hogs and put them in the pen. 1
also weighed three of the i .me size and
put then in a dry lot—average weight,
one hundred and seventy-five pound*. 1
fed six barrels of corn to the six hog*.
They were forty days eating the corn,
with plenty of salt and water. Their
average gain was seventy-five pounds.
The hogs in the lot gained the most
One that was fattened in the lot gained
eighty-eight pounds - One in the pen
eighty-four pounds; the other fiur were
net so thrifty. These hogs were about
fourteen months old when slaughtered.
I put them up the 25th of October. There
w as a good dcsl of sleet and snow daring
the mouth of November, which gave the
hogs in the p*n an advantage they would
not have had if the weather was favorable;
( they ate the same quantity of grain in the
s-inie time.- It also showed that one
bnhel <>f corn will make fifteen pounds
oi pork."
FOR BEGINNERS WITH BEES.— A writer
offers this trio of suggestions: Do not
go headlong into tbis or aDy other
branch of rural industry. Bo content:
with small beginnings, and take time to
gather experience. Commence with one
Btock of bees and before you buy even
one, get some recent treatise on bee
keeping nnd post yourself, at least in re
gard to the outlines of apiarian science.
Begin with a movable frame hive of some
sort. Bees have been kept advantage
ously, and may be still, in straw or com
mon box hives; but to attain the best re
sults, a movable frame hive is necessary.
This kind of hive admits of access to the
bees, control over them, and from one
season's observation in such a hive more
may be learned about bees than by keep
ing them 20 yeart in a straw or box hive.
A single stock in such a hive will cost
about ten dollars inclusive of patent right
aud surely this is not an investment
to begin with, that need frighten any
body. Do not expect sudden and large
fro fits, nor be discouraged by reverses.
here is no speculation in bee-keeping,
any more than in any other branch of
rural wonomr. IT ore, aa elsewhere,
dilligence, onri\ ©nrrgy aud persever
ance are essential to sueess*.

How He Acquired Riches.
The Washington correspondent of the
Jncisb .Vrswajer report* the following
story told him by the late President Lin
cola, which we do not remember before
to have seen in print:
4 When I flrst entered upon my duties
! as President," said Mr. IJnredu. grasping
j our arm in bis peculiar way, with one ot
I hi# long, bony hands, while he ran hi*
fmgers through anil brushed hack hi*
shaggy black hair, 41 1 fully made up my
I mind to appoint to office those only whom
[ 1 knew to he honest and who had suitable
ability. In any event honesty should be
the prerequisite, as the lack of a little
lhllity might be easily made up by an
"hone-t man endeavoring to do his whole
duly conscientiously. While this resolve
was tresb upon me there eatne to visit me
a very old friend, a Baptist minister, who
had traveled so fast that he had not yet
shaken the Illinois real estate off his ca
pacious boot a
44 4 Why, what brings you here, Mr.
Shofle I" (which was not liis name, but it
will do just as well.)
44 4 Well, he replied,*' I came down here
firstly to see you and get an old-fashioned
shake of the hand, and secondly to say
; that the folks of my congregation are so
poor that they can hardly afford me a
decent liviag, and I thought maybe you
could give me some sort of an office that
would pay me better.'
44 4 Certainly,' I answered, quickly, for
1 knew he was an honest man, and 1 was
looking for stock of that kind. 4 Have
' you in view any particular office!'
44 *XV said the Rev. Mr. Shofle, com
placently; I would not know what to
select if you were to hand me a list to
choose from.'
"' Xor 1 what to give yon; bnt I will
tell yon who will help yon out. Ton
know Colonel Chootsper, of your county.
He is now on duty in the Treasury De
partment. Go and see him; he is a man
ot resources and will get yon oat of yn
difficulty. Come back to-morrow sod re
port.'
" The next day, according to promise,
Shofle 'put in an appearance.' and said
that the Colonel had recommended him
to apply for a certain position in the
Revenue Department.
•"What is the salary!' said I, while
•igning in a mechanical way a pile of
commission*.
44 4 Two thousand dollars a year."
44 4 Well, do you think that enough T I
may be able to do better for you,' tor I
knew he was an honest man. and thought
he might just as well as not get a place
where he could earn more money.
"'Oh, plenty. Uncle Abe, for that is
more than double the amount I've been
earning for years past.'
"Now I began to thisk," said our
Martyr President, "taat I would have to
force him into a place paying a larger
salary, and where the government wonld
have a corresponding return for his valn
ble services, for I was more than ever—it
that were possible—convinced that he
was an honest man; but 1 finally con
eluded to give him his own war, and he
was appointed accordingly. Off he went
rejoicing, but I felt rather mean at my
one-horse gift to my good, honest, rev
erend friend.
" Three years elapsed, and the anxieties
attending the wartkad completely driveu
from my miud, for the time being, the
incident jnst related, when ray messenger
bronght me a card bearing the familiar
name, 4 llev. Adam Shofle.'and immedi
ately there flashed across ray mind all the
circumstances attending my appointing
hira to office. I directed him to be shown
in, and in walked, with creaky boots, one
of the best and finest dressed men I had
seen in many a day. I recognized his
countenance at a glance, bnt it nu* the
marvelous clothes that troubled me. They
sat easily enough upon his body, but
somehow or other they did not set so
easy upon my mind, hot wherefore I conld
not for the life of me tell, if I had tried,
which I didn't.
" 'Good morning, Mr. President'—no
longer ' Uncle Abe,' as before—said he, in
a sort of grandiloquent manner; ' I hope
you are well and getting on nicely.'
" * Oh, yes,* taid I; we poor folks eke
out a living after a fashion ; intending to
give him the bit in his month, for I knew
what an honest man he was, and how
much—l couldn't tell then exactly how
much, for I bad lost the run of him—we
were indebted to kim.
" 4 Mr. President, I've come to resign
my office.'
"Feeling somewhat as thongh I bad
been struck by lightning, I managed to
excl.im, ' Indeed!'
" 4 Yes, I feel that there are many others
deserving of tl.e place, and that it is my
duty t* make way for them.',
"'Was there ever such an honest man
as that?' said 1 to myself, chuckling over
rnv own stupidity on the clothes surprise.
4 But,' said I, aloud, 4 I'm afraid you are
not consideting yoorself, friend Shofle.
and that when you go back to preaching
you will be as hard up a* when you csrne
here three years ago. ITadn't yon better
hold on a little longer, say a year more,
and let ns both go oat of office together I'
44 ' No, thank you. I'm going to Europe
during that time, bnt hope to see you
here, as President, when I return,' and.
after a few ra re kind expressions, ell
went, the Rev. Shofle.
"About a month alter, one of the rev
erend gentleman's neighbors paid me n
visit, and among other things remarked
casually that I had 'done a prelty good
thing tor Shofle.' 'Yes,' I replied, 'I
gave him a £2,000 a year position for
three years.'
44 4 Besides the balance!' added my vis
itor. 4 Why, it he is worth a cent he i*
worth to-day §200,000, and I can prove it
if necessary.'
44 What could the idiot mean I To sat
isfy myself of the falsity of the charge 1
sent detectives to where he lived, and
they bronght back word that he had made
his £6.000 salary in the aggregate yield
fully $200,000 —hot then I knew he was
an honest man, and there must be a mis
take somewhere!"
44 By the way," added Mr. Lincoln,with
one of his knowing wiDks; "we have
plenty of 'Shofles' left, hut, the mischiel
of it is, it is bard findiug them out, and
they are not considerate eough to resign,
as did our honest friend Shofle."

Felling Forest* by Electricity.

A STRANGE STORT. —From Hon. Domi
nic O'M alley of West port, we learn the
following particulars of a most singular
case of mental derangement that ha* come
under oar notice: Miss Margaret Kelley,
a girl about sixteen years old, who lives
with her parent*, in the town of Dane, in
this country, suddenly lost her reason on
the evening of the 30* th of July last. She
was well and hearty as usual up to the
hour of licr derangement, when her
strange coudnrt betrayed her unfortunate
condition. Her mental disorder mani
fested itself in a most peculiar manner,
a* accompanying lier foes of rea>on,
the entire loss of al! knowledge of the
Engii-h language, which is her native
tongne. At the same tirno she lost the
u*e of the English language, she acquired
complete command of the Gel man lan
guage, and -|oke it very fluently. The
unfortunate giri has lately recovered her
rea>n but is still unable to speak or
understand English, bill speak* a id con
vei-es intelligently and accurately in the
German language. Neither the parent*
nor anyone of the family can understand
her nor she them excent through an
interpreter. What is most singular, the
girl never studied German, never learned
to speak it, never lived where it was
spoken and could have derived no know l
edge of the language in the ordinary man
ner. The fact* as staled above are vouch
ed for as correct and are attracting con
siderable attention in the community
where the girl lives. Several physician*
have visited her and admit that her case
baffles their skill. It ha* been suggested
that a uutnber of enr Madison d octor*
visit the patient and endeavor to give
some solution of this most mysterious

TNE PBOOBESS OF Erin.—There is so
mncli more inebriation in Paris than
formerly, that strenuous measures are
demancfed to diminish it. It was observ
ed in workshops, where alcohol is used
in making colors, that the violet aleohol
disappeared, and dead rats were put into
the reservoirs to disgust the men, but
even this was not effective. In the
hospitals they have caught the sick drink
ing camphorated spirits. In 153 dan
edict was made that the " crimes" of
drunkenness, blaspheming and homicide
should be punished ; for first offense,
bread and water ; second, prison nml
a whipping ; third, public whipping,
and fourth, amputation of nu ear and
banishment. We fear, should this be
indicted in America, we would be in
danger of becoming a one-eared race.

terms, United State* Senator for two
terms, and filled the ofllo* of Secretary of
State during the incumbency of two Pres

Deinocrotic party. It was only at the
end of a fourteen year's struggle that the
Urgency was defeated, Seward being then
the standatd bearer of his party.
In PCM, being then 33 year* of age, be
was nominated for Governor by lite
Whigs. William L. Marey wn* hi* Demo

fight—led bis ticket in *very r*unty, and
was deb ated by a good majority. Gov

IlenryClay's candidacy for the Presidency.
In IMH his advocacy of General Taylor
had belter fortune, Reward's friends car
ried hi* State ami he was etelud I'uiled
States Senator lu succession to John A.
Dix, whose term expired on the 4th of
March following. Reward early IMSCOIII*
one of General Taylor's most confidential
advisors.
31 r Reward was re-elected in the Sen
ate in 1K55. During his two terms he
si < ke on immense number* at subjects,
always with readiness and after consider
able research. He early advocated a
Pacific raihoad. lie delivered elaborate
speeches on the commercial and industrial
relation* of the country, on the public
lands, mail steamers, American fisheries
a projected survey.oi the Arctic and Pa
cific Oceans, the tarifl, an ocean telegraph
and kindred subjects, lie sjKike very
fully on the repeal of the Mhcouri Com
promise in 1&54. "Bleeding Kansas"
also received attention from him. These
speeches were very w idoly circulated.
Reward aupiMirled Rcotl for tho Presi
dency, though ho never approved the
platform on which ho stood. Ho waaono
of the founders of the Itepuhliean party.
He was a zealous advocate of the tl*riiou
of General John C. Fremont, it* first can

man of the Republican party. It was
predicted on all sides and believed by him
self that he would be its standard bearei
in the struggle in IR6U. Tho !eud with
Greeley in this State paved f e way for
bis defeat at Chicago. Tho West was en
thusiastic and united at bottom for Lin
coln and after some heavy skirmishing he
was nominated.
On his election President Lincoln
promptly offered Senator Howard a seat
in hi# Cabinet as Secretary of Bute, and
Mr. Reward as promptly accepted the of
fice. He remained in that position from
the 4th of March, IHC9, during oue of the
most trying periods in ur history. 11*
conducted, under Mr. Lincoln's direction,
tbo very delicate correspondence with
England in the matter of the seizure ol
the Trent, which ended with our giving
up tho rebel ambassadors. Another
source of anxiety to tho Rsato Depart
ment* was the aggression of Franco up<n
Mexico. Mr. Reward lived long enough
! to see the invader withdraw and the Re
publican authorities reimtated. The Al
abama controver-y was very voluminous
and hxra-#ii g. The late treaty was but a
slightly modified form of one agreed upon
under Mr. Reward's auspice*
Mr. Reward had lately returned from
traxels literally around the world. He
was received with the greatest *onid*ra
lion everywhere, from China and Japan
to Mexico.
Of |be last hours ol Mr. Reward it is said
ilial though Suffering from a sever* cold
j from Saturday unnl Thursday, vet no
immediate fear was felt, and hia dlseolu
! lion was sudden and unex|cted. Mr.
' Reward's intellectual faculties were clear
and vigorous to the last save when dis
turbed by tho paroxysms of fever. Just
after effusion tre.m the lungs on thinking
it would relieve his breathing, be was,
> at Ids own desire, placed upon a lounge
and bolstered up, and moved from his
adjoining bedroom into his study, where,
h the midst of hia booka aud bis literary
and other paper*, and surrounded by Ins
relative-, a-id a few friends and all hi* de
voted dependants, he breathed his last.
For the Inst half hour of hi* life, as the
( owers of nature were giving away, bis

which can bo cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation* as has been
proved by tl;o hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lnng complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. "When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
euro in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Inllucnza* Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. Wistar's
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint*
