Its History—lts proprietors—lts Relics :Reminiscences, and Present Cotillion. Utos2 On WanMosta& Intelllgencer.l There has probably never been . so great a throng to the national shrine ss at the present time. A fine steamer runs regularly thither from Washing -ton, and is largely patronized, while multitudes aro daily going there by land conveyances: Tho throng of sol diers is especially numerous. The dis tance from Washington is about 15 miles—about nine miles below Alex- aria. At the death of Gen. Washington, in 1799, the Mount Vernon estate com prised several thousand acres of land in a solid body, extending many mites on the Potomaeriver. It was divided into five farms, each cultivated by its own negroes, with an overseer; and whole under a general superintendent, and all under the careful inspection of the great chief himself. His own no groes numbered 120; his wife's were us many more: Upon the estate there was a fine two story stone corn and flour mill, the remnants of which are still visible on Doguc Creek, up which flat boats come alongside the mill. The water to carry the mill was brought in race some mile and a half from a "tumbling dam" up Dogue Run. The old mill house is still in good condition, and is occupied by a colored family. Near this mill was also his distillery. There wore also a brick yard, a carpen ter establishment, blacksmith shop— the estate forming, in fact, a sort of village. 10 Originally, the Mount Vernon estate consisted of one half of 5,000 acres, as signed to Washington's great grand father, who, in conjunction with Nich olas Spencer, patented it from Lord Culpepper in 1670. In the division of his estate the father of Washington assigned this tract to his elder brother, Lawrence, who erected the mansion in 1743, naming it in honor of 'Admiral Vernon, under whom he had served as captain in a colonial regiment, in the West Indies, in 1740. Lawrence died in 1752, leaving a wife and one child, a daughter ; and on the demise of this daughter without issue, as soon hap- Toned, the estate fell to George who Thad been much an inmate of his family. In 1759 Gen. Washington married Mrs. Martha Custis, (nee Daubridge,) then residing on her estate at the White House with her, two children, and after remaining at that place some three months,took up their residence at Mount Vernon. She brought in her own right, more than $lOO,OOO. They were of the same age-27 years—at their marriage. In this will, Washington divided the ,estate into three parts. The mansion, with 4,000 acres, was left to his neph .ew, Bushrod Washington, an Associate .Justice of the United States Supreme Court. At the death of Mrs. Wash ington, in 1801, Judge Washington became the proprietor of Mount Ver non, and continued there till death, in 1829. Two of the old servants still on the estate came there with him, be longing to his wife Anne, daughter of Col. Thos. Blackburn. Two of Gon. Washington's servants' still survive, also, residing som6 three miles from Mount Vernon. Judge Washington having no children, loft tho estate to hie nephew, John A. Washington, from whom the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association purchased the 200 acres ' upon which are the mansion and the tomb, for $200,000. Two thousand acres were willed by Washington to two other members of the Washington family, and the residue, upwards of 2,000 acres, including the fine Wood lawn estate, was given to Major Law rence Lewis, a favorite nephew, whose wife was the beautiful and cultivated Nally Custis, gmlAchild of gm Wash- .$2 CO . 1 00 (!_l[))c WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor. VOL, XXI, ington, and the adopted daughter of General Washington. . Major Lewis erected a splendid man sion at Woodlawn in 1805, at a cost of $24,000. Major Lewis, whose moth er, Betty Washington, was the sister of the great chief, died at Arlington in 1841, and his wife died in 1852.. The remains of both, with those of a daughter, the wife of Charles M. Col - I- I I rad, Filmore's War Secretary, being deposited in the Mount Vernon vault. Soon after the death of Major Lewis, the Woodlawn estate was sold by his only son, Lorenzo, to a colony of Qua kers from New Jersey, who still retain much of it, divided into farms. The Woodlawn mansion, with a splendid farm of five hundred acres surrounding it, belongs to John Mason, Esq , who came there from Now Hampshire in 1850. The mansion is of brick, with slate roof and lofty pillars, fronting the river on a commanding site, look% ing down upon the whole Mount Ver— non estate. Loren . zo Lewis died some years ago in Clark county, and the other daughter, the wife of a Mr. But ler, is living in Mississippi. John A. Washington wont to Fau quier county with his family in 1860, and purchased a farm known as Ware land. His wife died suddenly soon after, and it is well known that be fell, as colonel of a rebel regiment, early in 1861, leaving a family of seven chil dren, the youngest two being little boys, and the only two male children ever born at tho Mount Vernon mans sion. There are some one thousand acres of the Mount Vernon estate, be 13nging to these orphan children, lying in proximity to the Mount Vernon mansion. The Mount Vernon estate was never under a finer state of culti. vation than it is at the present time. There are at present 2,000 government mules grazing upon different farms in that section. The grounds immediately around the mansion and tomb bear evidence of care and taste. The approach to the tomb and to the mansion from the river is highly .picturesque and de. lightful. Tho remains of Washington were originally deposited in the old vault which is pointed out to all visi tors, and in a mahogany coffin lined with lead. The vault was damp, and the wood was three times renewed before being placed in the receptacle where they now repose. In 1831, the new vault was erected and the remains transferred. A Philadelphia marble worker proposed to furnish a marble sarcophagus, but on visiting the tomb declined_ to do so if it was to be put into so deep a vault, some dozen feet high, with an arched . gateway and a gate formed of iron rods. In this ante chamber, on the right, is the sarco phagus containing the remains of Washington, and on the left another precisely like it, containing the re mains of Mrs. Washington; and it may he added, that her remains have been moved as often as those of the great chieflThe sarcophagus is from a solid block of pure white marble, and was placed there in 1837. Within the vault proper aro the bodies of many mem bers of the family.. On either side, as you come near the vault, stands a mar ble obelisk, inscribed with names of leading members of the Washington family. The design upon Washington's sarcophagus covers the most of the top or lid, and consists of a shield, resting on the national flag, and attached by cords to a spear, embellished with tas sels, forming a background to the shield. The crest is an eagle, with open wings, perching upon the supe rior bar of the shield and clutching the arrows and olive branch. Below the armorial bearing is the name deeply sculptured, of "Washington." On the plain lid of the other sarcophagus are the• words, in large letters, "Martha Washington." An addition preeteci at one and of the mansion after Washington's time has been torn away, and the structure is now in the exact form as when left by the Father of , his country. It is well known that the mansion, as orig inally erected and left by Lawrence Washington, was much enlarged by General Washington, a section being added to each end, making it, as it now stands, 96 feet in length, north and south, with a portico, fronting the river, extending from end to end. This portico having decayed, has been re placed by an exact copy of the old. The mansion is two stories high, of wood, finished in imitation of freestone, and painted white. Fourteen small windows, .with the old-fashioned di minutive panes of glass, look out upon beautiful sloping lawns, and down up on the river level, There are six rooms on the floor, with a spacious hall running through the centre, from east to west. The north room is the large dining hall, in which is the ex- HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1865. quisito marble mantel piece, wrought I in Italy, shipped on an English vessel during the French Revolution, captur ed by the French Government when Lafayette made known that it was a present from an American wino mer chant, resident at Marseilles,to General Washington. In this room are also the double banked harpsichord, shaped' like a modern square piano—a wedding present to his adopted daughter, Nelly Castle ; the tripod which served Wash ington in all his surveys, and the large set of matched mahogany dining ta bles. The dining hall l opens at either end into an east and west parlor, in one of which is an old, dilapidated, large globe, and in the other an old sofa. The key of the Bastile—a pres ent from Lafayette—still hangs in the glass case in the hall, and by itsside the silhouette taken from life by a lady in Philadelphia. The library room, in the south end, is occupied by Miss Tracy, the accom plished and faithful agent of Mount Vernon Association. A bust of Wash ington, cast in plaster by Hendon, and another of Lafayette, facing each other high on the walls, are the only obser vable relics. The bookcases, built into the wall, with glass doors, fully occu py one side of the large room. Over this apartment, in a small bedroom, the great and good man died. •A bed stead, said to bo an exact copy of that on which he died, is the only article in the chamber. The family pictures were nearly or quite all at Arlington, and were taken to Richmond by Gen. Lee. The celebrated pitcher portrait, upon the back of which was inscribed the beautiful eulogy, and left in the mansion by an unknown hand, was carried away by John A. Washington, and is in the possession of that family. The long, low row of brick quarters still stand as they have for :30 or 40 years, since they were partially des strived by fire. In this row Washing ton had his blacksmith and carpenter ing establishments, and bore now live the two old colored servants of whom mention bas been made as the ser vants who eame home() years ago with Anne Blackburn, the wife of Bushrod Washington. Ths "Ladies' Mount Vernon Associ ation," it is well known, made their purchase in 1558, and had made their last payment of $2,000 upon the eve of the rebellion. The Association had expended also $20,000 in improve. ments, In addition to paying tho $200,- 000 purchase money. Muth still needs to be done, and the large amount of funds at this time accumulating from the throngs of visitors, who pay an en trance fee each of 25cts., will do much for putting the national shrine and preserving it in proper condition. The scourge of the rebellion stayed its des olating tido at the confines of these sacred acres. The tomb of Washing ton was held sacred on both sides.

The Port Gibson Herald tells [;good story, of which an Alabama Sheriff is hero, as follows; Court was in session, and amid the multiplicity of business which crowded upon him at term time, he stopped at the door of a beautiful widow, on the sunny side of thirty, who, by the way, had often bestowed melting glances upon the Sheriff aforesaid. Ho was admitted, and soon the widow appear ed ; the confusion and delight which 1 the arrival of her visitor occasioned, sot off to greater advantage than usual the captivating charms of the widow M. Her cheek bore the beautiful blen ded tints of apple blossom—her lips resembled rose buds upon which the morning dew yet lingered; her eyes were like the quiver of Cupid, the glances of love and tenderness with which they were filled, resembling ar rows that only wanted a fine beau (pardon the pun) to do full execution. After a few common place remarks— " Madam," said the matter of fact Sheriff, "I have an attachment for you." A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheek of the fair widow—with downcast eyes, whose glances were centered upon her beautiful feet, half concealed by her flowing drapery, , gently patting the floor, she, with equal candor, replied— " Sir, the attachment is reciprocal." For some time the. Sheriff maintain. ed an astonished silence; and at last said: "Proceed to court." "Proceed to court !" replied the lady with a merry laugh; then shaking her beautiful head she added, "No, sir I though this is Leap Year, I will not take advantage of the license therein grunted my sex, and therefore greatly prefer you should "proceed to court I" "But,madam, the Justice is waiting." "Lot him wait; I am not disposed to hurry matters in such an unbecom ing manner; beside, sir, when the cer emony is performed I wish you to un derstand that I prefer a minister to a justice of the peace." • "Madam," said be, rising froin his chair with solemn dignity, "there is a groat mistake here; my language is misunderstood; the attachment of which I speak was issued from the of fice of Esquire C ; commands me to bring you instantly before him, to answer a contempt of Court in diso- I beying a subpoena in the ease of Jones - VS - Smith, !"

"Como in," sez I, "and take a cheer." rlio, Lizzie," sez ho, "I've come on an errant, and I always do my orrants fest." "But you'd bettor come in and take a cheer. What is yor errant?

"Why, I was skeerod, and said : 'lf you're come on this courtin' busi ness, come in. I must think of it a little." "No, I can't till my errant's done." "I should like to think about a day or two."

The old fashioned style of "sitting up with her" is the best,—of course it is. Then there is the luxury of sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks, the deliciousness of sweet words, to say nothing of the nectar of sweeter lips. Courting by correspondence is a dull affair at best and had better be abolished. Besides, the girls should all understand that matrimonial advertisements are usual ly the shabby tricks of bad fellows, who are not worth having if they could be obtained, and their only object is to trifle with the "weaker vessels." Tho exchange is right, too, in its no• tion that the girls generally ought to be married. But that can't be done by correspondence with strangers; 'in• deed, the latter is a pretty sure solu tion of the problem of "how not to do 4," IMP VP<I O 6 „ Preserving Fruits in Bottles, Cans, Jars, &c. The following description of the way of putting up fruit by the Oneida Com munity, is copied from their organ, The Circular : The fruit is first suitably prepared by hulling, assorting, or paring and cutting, as the case demands; and, in most instances, is immediately placed in clean glass bottles, filling them full; and when such . fruit as peaches, pears, quinces, &c., are out in largo pieces, it is best to take some pains to crowd the fruit into the bottle—otherwise the heating process will not leave the bet tho properly filled with fruit. Next prepare a syrup of melted, re• fined or white sugar, and pour into the battle by the following rule :—Al low six ounces of sugar to one quart of fruit or molt ten pounds of sugar in ono gallon of water, and give one half pint of the syrup thus produced to one quart bottle of fruit. This rule is adapted to the strawberry, cherry, peach, and other similar fruits. Moro acid fruits, like the currant, require a greater proportion of sugar. Sugar, for a few years, and especially the present season, has been so high that the temptation has been for those who put up fruit for sale to make the pro portion of sugar much less than tho above rule requires, and some parties have acknowledged that they had re duced the quantity of sugar to three ounces for one quart of fruit. Fruit put up air tight will, of course keep just as well without sugar as with it; but it is thought much better to heat the fruit in syrup, rather than to heat it in water and apply sugar as it is used for the tablo. The filled bottles aro then placed in a steaming box—best when made 4broughout of wood—the bottles rest on a false bottom of narrow sluts, cov ering the steam•pipe—cold water is then lot into the box until the bottles are two thirds covered; the fruit is then gradually heated to the boiling point by letting steam into the water through a pipe leading from the engine room.in another part of the building. It requires from forty five to sixty minutes to properly beat or cook most kinds of fruits. They are commonly allowed to boil five minutes, but in some instances aro taken out of the steam box before they reach ,the boil ;ng point. Corks are made sufficiently flexible by steaming them twenty minutes with the fruit. They should be large enough to fill the neck of the bottle tightly and require some force to crowd them in. Formerly ono cork, as pro. cured of dealers, was made to stop two bottles, but it is. now considered better to use a whole cork for each bottle. Until the last year the Community used for sealing wax a compound of the following proportions : 1 Lb. of ro sin, oz. of tallow, 3 oz. of beeswax; but common boat pitch is now used, and it is found to . answer quite as well, and is much cheaper. It is pre pared by first being boiled a few min utes, and then heated every time a batch is to be sealed. Tho fruit being sufficiently heated, the corks steamed, and the boat pitch ready, the bottles are taken success. ively to a table and quickly corked.— The corks may be forced in by a blow from a mallet, or bettor by a small lever arrangement, or best by such a machine as that used here, and in oth er fruit establishments, which worked by hand and foot, performs the opera tion easily and rapidly. The portion of the cork remaining above the bottle is pared off with a sharp knife, and left in a convex form. Some fruit preservers, at this stage, pack their fruit away, laying the bot tles down on the side and trusting to the cork, thus' kept moist, to exclude the air, and sealing the bottles when they fill orders for market, and when they are less hurried ; but the Commu nity have always sealed their fruit im mediately after it is corked, which is done by dipping the mouth of the bot tle in sealing wax, as to cover the bulb. Then transfer it to a basin of cold wa ter, dipping to the same depth to cool the wax. If the dipping is carried be yond the mouth of the bottle, there is danger of cracking the glass. Now examine the sealed part to see if the wax has formed blisters.. If there are blisters, rub them away with the fin ger, using a little tallow or oil to pre vent sticking. It was formerly tho'ht necessary to repeat the dipping opera tion in wax and water, Eno it is now only done when . the first dipping leaves. the cork imperfectly covered. The operation ie nov.+' completed, and the fruit ready to be packed away on shelves or in chests, in a cool, dry cel lar. If. placed on shelves, a cloth should be hung before them to exclude TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. the light. In a few days after pack ing away, inspect the bottles to see if any show signs of fermentation, which may be detected by a foamy appear ance of the fruit. If this is observed in any bottle, it denotes either a crack in the glass, or that the sealing was imperfect. The bottle should be open ed and examined, the contents scalded and the process of sealing repeated as before. In some cases during the sea son, a little vegetable mould may be seen to gather on the surface of the fruit in the bottles; but this is not to be regarded, as it can be readily sepa rated on opening the bottles, reaving the mass of fruit untouched. There is a variety of methods prat.. ticed in preserving tomatoes. Our people scald and peel them, and . then place them in a steam boiler, where they are boiled from twenty minutes to half an hour. The bottles are fill ed directly from the boiler—having been previously heated in the steam box, so as to avoid the danger of burst ng—and are then ready for sealing. The steam boiler is worthy of sepa rate mention. It is made of copper, tinned on the inner surface and costs about sixty dollars. It has a double bottom for ono third of its height; and steam passing through the two lower surfaces, anything being placed in the boiler will be speedily cooked in fifteen minutes. Vegetables, puddings, &c., may thus bo prepared for the table in a much shorter time than in ordinary kettles placed over a common fire. The Community have the present season put up a few thousand cans of sweet corn. It was formerly thought difficult to preserve this article except by drying. Here the _corn is boiled fifteen minutes, then sealed in cans, and then boiled five hours. Tomatoes, squashes, beans and oth• or vegetables are put up with a syrup of any kind. Apples are put up, in fresh apple juice, and are thought to be mach better than when put in water On account of the corroding effects of the acid which most fruit contains, it is better-to preserve them in glass than in tin ; besides in this form they aro more attractive and saleable. Of glass fruit bottles a groat variety is found in market—some of which de serve commendation, and most which avoid the necessity of corking and sealing. They are however in gene ral too expensive for those who put up fruit in large quantities for sale. For this reason, and because the Commu nity deem the corking and sealing pro cess, which I have attempted to de scribe, the most sure plan yet devised, a form of bottle invented by Mr. Thee. , her is much need. WI AT EXTRAVAGANCE LEADS TO.- Never was there made a more correct observation than this:. Moderation is the silken string that runs through the pearly chain of all virtues; and ,the string once broken they are scattered. When people begin to make a show which they cannot afford, either in dress or at home—or any thing else— virtue is threatened. We increase our own unhappiness by multiplying our wants. We attempt to dazzle our ae• quaintances and to assert our equality with those above us, and we sacrifice our interests and peace of mind. The eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. Necessity soon compels the spendthrift to retrench, or adopt dis honorable means for procuring money. It is easy to see what course ho would be likely to pursue, and what conse quences ho will soon incur. PRINTING PAPER MADE FROM BASIS Boo.—Tho Albany Journal is now printed on paper made from bamboo. The bamboo is brought from Jamaica, where it is produced in unlimited abundance, and costs, delivered hero, from ten to twelve dollars per cord. It is cut into five feet lengths, convey ed to the manufactory, where it is soaked in warm water for a time; it is then put in steam guns in the form of ordinary cannon,.where itis thorough ly saturated with steam and then ex ploded, under an immense pressure, which tears it into fibres. When thus torn it is placed in an immense pulping boiler, where it is boiled under a pres sure, of 60 lbs. to the inch, and from thence blown into a receiving tank. It •is then perfect pulp, ready to be made into paper. BED.
