GENERAL DIRECTIONS. —Gather fruit when it is dry. Long boiling hardens the fruit. Pour boiling water over the seives used, and wring out jelly hags in hot water the moment you are to use them. Do not squeeze while straining through jelly bags. Let the pots and jars containing sweat meats just made, remain uncovered three days. Lay brandy papers over the top. cover them tight and seal them, or. what is best of all, soak a split bladder and tie it tight over them. In drying, it will shrink so as to be perfectly air-tight. Keep them in a dry. but not warm place. A thick leathery mould helps to preserve fruit, but when mould appears in specs, the preserves must be scalded in a warm oven, or be set into warm water, which then must boil till the preserves are scalded. Always keep watch of preserves which are not sealed, especially in warm or damp weather. The only sure way to keep them without risk or care, is to make them with enough sugar and seal them, or tie bladder covers over them. tweet fern Pudding. Take three common sized ears of corn, the kernels by drawing a sharp knife lengthwise of the rows from but to top, and "crape oIT the corn w ith the back of the knife, leaving the hulls and cob. Beat a couple of fresh eggs ; add three pints of milk and a spoonful of sugar : mix this with the corn, and salt to your liking.— Bake from two to three hours. It should be eaten hot, with butter. I# Pickle Tomato**. Gather them and put them immediately into pure cold vinegar. When a suffi ciency has been obtained, take them out, and scald some spices, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, or others if you choose, in a bag in good vinegar, and pour it hot over them. To Pickle Onions. Divest them of the outer tunics, and boil *hem in milk and water, remove the liquid and pour over them vinegar scalding hot. Permit them to remain untd thoroughly pickled. Red fedar rod*. All kmds of Cedar are known tube verv durable, but the heart of red cedar is per haps preferable on tin- account to any other Wind, and those part* of the tree which are most knott\ will probably last longest. K. Bourne, in the Massachusetts .Plowman, states that on examining some red cedar posts set by his father 18 years since, he found those which were taken from the butt end of the tree a little de cayed on the outside ; but those from the second and third cuts ot the tree were per fectly sound. To bff) Rat*. Mix a shilling's worth ot Spanish (lies in a pint ot the best French brandy, cork it well, and after shaking, let it stand six weeks, and it will be fit for use. A few drops of this liquid is said to entice the rats from their holes into any kind of trap. Destroying fllet In Jnnerle*. 3. W. Hooker, of Rochester, completely effects this object by boring inch and a Half boles into wooden blocks, ramming in a quantity of corn meal and arsenic, and dis tributing them, with the mouth inclined downward, in the most exposed places.— J'he holes need filling each autumn. Transplanting Locust Tree*. A correspondent informs us that the Aprouth of locust trees, if taken up in the spring, and set in open places iu the woods, will grow well, and become valuable for timber. \\ p have heard it said that locust trees planted in this way 3re not likely to LP attacked by the borer. Making Stone Fence. With us the motto would be. whenever rtone were removed from the field, put them into a wall. If ten rods cannot be made, make five, and the next time the field i ploughed and more looe stone ap pear. make five rods more, but do not ihrnn ihern into the corner.- of the fence, nor iuto ihe iiieet. ra Pickle J!*?*. Bod, divest of the shell, and place them in a large jar; pour over them scalding vinegar, saturated with ginger, garlic, cloves, whole pepper and alspice. jflftt&r ell* tit ou*. . - SWEARING.—We have often spoken a word against this sin. Butcau we say too much when our ears are daily saluted with profane oaths and vulgar words ? Who can pass our streets and not hear language that makes the virtuous blush ? Our youths and children are growing up exceedingly depraved. What must be done ? Grown up men must be on their guard, and not set a pernicious example before children. How many you hear talking loud in our streets who have not pride and principle enough about them to keep from words of profanity ! Men must first reform, before we can hope to do much with the youth. We trust this word of caution may not be in vain. When you would be profane re member who hears you. A child, per haps, who is forming his character by your own. . A GEM. —We find the following arith metical toast, by a schoolmaster, in one of our exchange papers : The fair daughters of America —May they add virtue to beauty, subtract envy from frienship, multiply amiable accom plishments by sweetness of temper, divide lime bv sociability and economy, and re duce scandal to its lowest denomination. No man ever regretted that he was vir tuous and honest in his youth, and kept aloof from idle companions. AN OBLIGING JISTICE.—Many years ago, in Connecticut, a certain justice was called to liberate a worthless debtor, by re ceiving his oath that he was not worth A 5. '• Well, Johnny," said the justice, as he entered, " can you swear that you 3rc not worth £5, and never will be ?" " Why," said the other, rather chagrined at the question, " I can swear I am not worth that amount at present " Well, well," returned the justice, " 1 can swear to the rest —so step onward, Johnny." " Swipes, if I were in your place, I'd go and hang myself!" " So would I, Snarl, if I were as big a fool as you !" SOMETHING SEW. In the Diamond, Lcnlitown. A DRUG & VARIETY STORE. VA.

A day or two after this the gentleman returning to the store, expressed his surprise and delight at the effect of the Syrup, declaring it had expelled 200 worms and entirely relieved his son.

READ AMD BE CO.XVLSCED. CMAS ROBINSON, E-q , Easton, Md , in a letter to Dr. j Jackson, January 9, lfeso, said— "My wife and myself have received more benefit from j your medicine lliau any other We have rvc-r taken for the j Dyspepsia and I.iver disease." " THK TKNTH LSOIO*," published at Woodstock, Va., | January 1(1,1850, said— " A GREAT MEDICINEr " We have uniformly refrained from recommending to | the public any of ihe various Patent Medicines of the ; day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. Among those we consider worthy of notice is the German Bitters, invented by Dr. Uonfiand, and prepared by Llr. Jackson, 111 Philadelphia. One instance in particular, In which the superior virtues of this medicine has been tested,has fal len under our observation. During the last summer, a son of MR. ABBS HAM GRABILL, of this county, was very seriously afflicted with I.iver Complaint, and after trying | in vain various remedies, he pur< hused a bottle of the | Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his j distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, ind I Is restored entirely to health." i READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS FROM "THE WKLDON HERALD," published at Wcldon, ! -V. C., January 24,1850, which said— " PATE\T MEDICIMES" " It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Patent i Medicines,eitherapprovingorotherwise Unfortunately for the country, and for honest and conscientious lnven -1 tors and venders ofthese medicines, the ltnJ if becoming Hooded with quack preparations, that are made alone fof \ profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In this state of | things it is hard to tell which are, and which are not worth j having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first j time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole | of them and buy no more, and inventors must only blame j those of their number, (who tgnorantly combine plain medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving." " We believe Dr. C. M. Jackson'* ' Hooffand's German Bitter*' to be a mot excellent medicine, and one that should be highly popular in these days of Temperance ; for they are altogether I'egetable in their composition, without one drop of Alcoholic Spirits in them. Thu med icine 1* innocent, but strengthening in it* effect*, and rich ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, * hlch, when it become* known,it will, no doubt, fully enjoy." Jt noB M. M.

" lir Hoojlcnd's German. i?i:tsr —Here i* a prepara tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physnians of modern times—the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Floofland, profeaor to the Uni versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia, and one of the grntest medical writers Germany has ever produced He was emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may bo confidently relied on. He specially recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all complaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia papers express their conviction of its excellency, and eev erul of the editors speak of its effects from their own indi vidual experience. Uuder these circumstances, we feel warranted, not only in calling the altenlionof our readers to the present proprietor's (Dr C M. Jacl a Ml's) prepara tion, but in recommending the article to all afflicted." MORE EVIDENCE. The " PHILADELPHIA SATtittiAV GAT.STTR." the best family newspaper published iu the United titate*. The | editor says of Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters: " It is seldom that we recommend what arc termed Pat | ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof land's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under stood that we arc not speakingof the nostrums of the day, that are noised about for a brief period and,! hen forgotten after it has dene its guilty race of mischief,but of a med icine long established, universally prized,and which has met the beany approval of the faculty itself." Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongetl testimony in its favor, is, that there is more of it used m the practice of the regular Physi cians of Philadelphia than all other nostrums combined, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when pre sented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom ach and liver; it is preferable to calomel in all biltous diseases —the effect is immediate. They can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. This medicine has attained that high charac ter which is necessary for all medicines to at- 1 tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth aspu rious article at the risk of 1 lie lives of those who are innocently deceived Isook well to the marks of the genuine. They have the written signature ot C. M.

I tried the remedies recommended by the most skilful of my profession, ait to no effect, excepting the nausea and debility caused by them. I was prejudiced against Potent Medicines, and hare no faith now in them, generally. But I was induced, as an experiment, mors than through faith, to try a bottle of BUNT'S INDIAN PEL HOI ME BALSAM, and 1 do here acknowledge, for the ben efit of the afflicted or whom it may serve, that the effect of its use on me. was the west pompt and salutary of any med icinc* I ever witucased the effect of in all my practice. My cot'oit was IMMEDIATELY iKt.ixvxo, and in about eight or ten days, I was free from cough, soreness of the chest, and pain, and now consider and pronounce myself a well uisn Uoct. French is now a respectable druggist and merchant at Hillsdale. ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORYI Messrs. Holtstanjer ft Co., respectable merchants ot Oberlin, Lorain Co., Ohio, wrote December 19, 1848: " Af ter allowing the Brant's Medicine* which you sent to us, W remain at Cleveland about three months, we sent lor them We have Ken so often deceived by such medicines not proving to be equal to their recommendations, snd therefore would not sell, when their want of efficacy was known, that ws considered it uuprontablo to keep such, and were therefore prejudiced agiunet Brant's, supposing it to be no better than many other* w have on sale. Alter we had received Braut's. I. (A Holutander) was persuaded from reading the nvmphlet to take a bottle of the Pulmonary Bal sam home. Ny wife had been afflicted with a sever® cough for about ten months, and our friends were alarmed and fearful that she would find nothing to relieve or cure her. But notwithstanding our prejudices to patent medicines, we are nbltgtd to say. and cheerfully confess, that BKANT'S BALSAM and PUSIYVINO EXTBACT. can bo depended on ia preference to any or all of the many kinds that have been left with us tor sale. My wife was immediately relieved in her cough, find before iho had finished using the first bottle, began to gain strength and health, and only three bottles effected a perfect cure. The PtrxtrYiNO EXTIACT j V used for a general debility of the system, and I have ao hesitaney in saying that it is the best medi cine to restore and Invigorate the system, that I have ever found. In every instance where we have eold these medi ctnos they have proved their efficacy, and given the best satisfaction." FOR SALE BY .11.FRED M.IRKS, Lrwistovn, <L>. If. BREHM.I.V, .WcVeytoicn, M.
