THE
SKwraiaaaipaiih
[From Godey's Lady's Book for July.]
Blackberries. —Preserve these as strawber
ries or currants, either liquid or jam, or jelly.
Blackberry jelly or jam is an excellent med
icine iu summer complaints or dysentery : to
make it, crush a quart of fully ripe black
berries with a pound of the best loaf sugar,
put it over a gentle fire and cook it until thick,
then put to it a gill of the best fourth-proof
brandy, stir it awhile over the fire, then put
it iu pots.
Blackberry Syrup. —Make a simple syrup
of a pound of sugar to each pint of water,
boil it until it is rich and thick, then add to it
as many pints of the expressed juice of ripe
blackberries as there are pounds of sugar;
put half a nutmeg grated to each quart of the
syrup ; let it boil fifteen or twenty minutes,
then add to it half a gill of fourth-proof
brandy for each quart of syrup; set it by to
become cold, then bottle it for use. A table
spoonful for a child or a wineglass for an
adult is a dose.
Blackberry Wine. —The following is said to
be an excellent receipt for the manufacture of
superior wine from blackberries:—Measure
your berries and bruise them, to every gallon
adding one quart of boiling water. Let the
mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring oc
casionally ; then strain off the liquor into a
cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of
sugar: cork tight, and let stand till following
October, and you will havo wine ready for
use, without any further straining or boiling,
'hat will make lips smack as they never
smacked, under similar influence, before.
Blackberry and Wine Cordial. —We avail
ourseives of the kindness of a friend to pub
lish the following excellent receipt for making
cordial, ft is recommended as a delightful
beverage, and an infallible specific for diar
rhoea or ordinary disease of the bowels : —To
half a bushel of blackberries, well mashed,
add a quarter of a pound of allspice, two
ounces cf cinnamon, two ounces of cloves.
Pulverize well, mix, and boil slowly until
properly done; then strain or squeeze the
juice through homespun or flannel, and add
to eaeh pint of the juice one pound of loaf
sugar. Boil again for some time, take it off,
and, while cooling, add half a gallon of best
Cognac brandy. Dose, for an adult, half a
gill to a gill; for a child, a teaspoonful or
more, according to age.
Currants Preserved. —Take ripe currants,
free from stems; weigh them, and take the
same weight of sugar: put a teacup of sugar
to eaeh pound of it; boii the syrup until it is
hot and clear; then turn it over the fruit; let
it remain one night; then set it over the fire
and boil gently until they are cooked and
clear; take them into the jars or pots with a
skimmer; boil the syrup until rich and thick,
then pour it over the fruit. Currants may be
preserved with ten pounds of fruit to seven
of sugar. Take the stems from seven pounds
of the currants, and crush and press the juice
from the remaining three pounds; put them
into the hot syrup, and boil until thick and
rich ; put it in pots or jars, and the next day
secure as directed.
Red or White Currant Jam. —Bet the fruit
be very ripe; pick it clean from the stalks;
bruise it, and to every pound put three-quar
ters of a pound of loaf sugar; stir it well and
boil half an hour, then add the sugar; boil
and skim.
Green Currant Jam. —Weigh equal portions
of unripe red currants and sugar ; set the
fruit over the fire, at some distance, with a
small part of the sugar, breaking the fruit a
little that the juice may prevent it burning; .
stir it conti!#sally and let it remain for a
quarter of an hour, then add the rest of the
sugar, and boil up for a quarter of an hour
longer.

PURE CATAWBA BRANDY.
HAVING received the sole agency of A. F. Hazard &.
Co , Wholesale Druggists, Philadelphia, for the sale
of this Branrlv in Mifllui county, we cor fident'y offer it
to the public as a pure and unadulterated article, as the
following certificates will prove:
CHEMICAL INSPECTOR'S OFFICE, J
08 Bixih at., Cincinnati, March, 1857. y
This will certify thai I have this day inspected two
separate lots of Catawba Brandy, one in barrels and one
in botlles, manufactured by Laurilzr Lyons, and sold by
his sole agent, J Jacob, at the Depot, No 90, opposite
the Burnet House, and 143 West Third street, Cincinnati,
and find them both PURE and T nsi: from all poisonous or
deleterious drugs, ami as such have marked the same as
the law directs. Given under my hand at my office.
[Signed.] HIRAM COX, M D.,
Inspector of Alcoholic Liquors, tcc.
NEW YORK, 93 Prince St., July 28, 1837.
Dear Sir:—l have received a bottle of Lyons' Pure
Ohio Catawba Brandy, furnished by Mr. A. Kalston, Jr.,
of Lockport, N. Y„ for analyzation, and I find it to con
tain only those ingredients which exist in PIRE BRANDY.
The proportion of alcohol obtained from it is 47 00. I
believe this sample to be pure Brandy without adultera
tion—the flavor of it is delicate and peculiar.
[Signed ] JAS. R. CHILTON, M. IV, Chemist.
The OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY not only equals but
even excels the best imported Brandies in purity and
flavor. It is in fact the BEST Brandy known. This
statement is fully corroborated by the certificates of
many of our most distinguished analytical Chemists.
The want of pure Brandy has long been felt in this coun
try, and ibe introduction of an article of such quality as
to supersede the sale and use of those vile compounds
hitherto sold uuder the name of Brandy, can only be re
garded as a great public good. The Catawba Brandy
possesses all the good qualities claimed for the best im
ported liquor, and is of perfect purity and superior flavor.
It is therefore fully entitled to tne patronage of the pub*
lie. We feel confident that its reception in this Elate
will be as favorable as that which it has met with in the
Great West, und that the tune is not far distant when
the superiority of our own liquors will put an end to
their importation from abroad.
For Medicinal purposes this Brandy has no rival, and
has long been needed. It ia a sovereign and sure reine
dy for Dyspepsia', Flatulency, Low Bplrils, Languor,
General Debility, dec.
Also for sale, ESHELBY'ct CELEBRATED STILL
AND SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE. These Wines are
niade in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and are guar
antied to be the pure juice of the grape, and are emi
nently calculated for invalids and persons who require a
gentle stimulant, and for Sacramental purposes, or as a
beverage will be found equal, ff not superior, to the best
imported.

Patent Galvanic Cement
OP ly* ULi cs) oa> £F 0.
TIIE undersigned having purchased the
right for this Cement in Mifflin and Cen
tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put it on roofing wherever desired—the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific men
under tho direction of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts of the
country, for years have been studying and
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
changes of our climate, and would unite the
qualities of Imperviousness to Water, Incom
bustibility, Durability and Cheapness. No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are not fire proof, and cannot ho used
upon flat roofs. Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a new roof. The various cements and com
positions which have been introduced, can be
supplied only to very flat roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action of the weather
that they will melt and run in summer and
crack in winter, and in a short time become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate these difficulties, and it i 9 believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter, that he has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First—lt is completely impervious to water.
Water may continually stand upon the roof
without affecting it in the least.
Second—lt is fire-proof, it is so incombus
tible that it will afford ample and perfect pro
tection against fire, sparks and burning shin
gles from another building immediately ad
joining.
Third—lt is durable. It is not injured by
atmospheric changes, having been tested for
several years by the Patentee, at Syracuse,
New York.
Fourth—lt is cheap. Iloofs will be put on
for about half the cost of tin, and will last
much longer.
Fifth- Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
Sixth —lt is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist the expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, and will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather.
Seventh—lt is adapted to all kinds of roofs,
either flat or steep.
Eighth—lt is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may be covered
without removing the shingles. Old metalic
roofs can be made perfectly tight and secure.
Ninth—lt is especially adapted to all kinds
of seaming around battlements, sky-lights
and chimneys, and for the lining of eave
troughs and gutters. Roofs which have given
trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite of all efforts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth—lt has been proved to Le the best
article ever used for covering car tops and
steamboat decks.
Eleventh—This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nishing a coat which is at once impervious to
water and an almost perfect non-conductor of
heat.
Twelfth—lt is the only roofing material
patented which contains India rubber and
gutta percha.
For a specimen of this cement we invite
owners of property to call at our mills, where
a single coating , put on in December last, has
kept the buildings perfectly dry through the
winter. E. E. LOCKE A CO.,

Have in many cases defied the skill, heretofore, of the
best medical practitioners in tbe world, and many cases
have been abandoned as incurable.
Dr. J. WILLIAMS, Chemist and Pharmaceutist, after
studying closely the practices of Drs. Abernethy and J.
Johnston, England, and observing the nature of the dis
ease in all its stages, during a sojourn in the southern
and western portions of the United States, where it pre
vails to a greater extent than elsewhere, procured from
South America certain roots and herbs from which he
prepared an "Elixir," which, after eighteen years' use in
private practice, lias proved itself more efficacious in the
cure of Dyspepsy than any medicine that nas ever been
prepared in any age or clime for the same purpose.
Having submitted it, willi an explanation of its compo
nents, to a number of physicians of Philadelphia, among
whom were the late Drs Joseph Hartshorns and J. C.
Morton, it has received their entire approval, and many
of the medical faculty are now not only prescribing it for
their patients but are using it themselves,personally and
in their families. As a tonic it is unequalled, and its
properties are of so invigorating a nature that it is given
with perfect safety and success to the most tender infants.
The Elixir is very gradual, but rerlain in its action upon
the organs of digestion, the increased secretions of the
liver, pancreas and mucous membranes of the stomach,
and requires that only one dose be taken in twenty-four
hours; for confirmed Dyspepsv can only be cured by grad
ually restoring the organs of digestion to a healthy stale
The great success met with in curing the most aggravated
cases of Dyspepsy, accompanied sometimes with a high
grade of hypochondriasis, has established the most un
bounded confidence in the curative properties of this
Elixir, in corroboration of which rga.l the following testi
monials :
ATTESTATION —We, having used Williams' Anti-Dys
peptic Elixir with the most perfect satisfaction and suc
cess, take great pleasure in recommending it to all per
sons suffering with Dyspepsy, as we are fully convinced
of its rnoet estimable qualities in restoring the digestive
powers, removing all pains and uneasiness, and iinpatt
ing a healthy tone to the stomach.

Dr. J. Wiliiains—Dear Sir—For fifteen years previous
to 1651, I suffered so much from dyspepsy that 1 became
completely prostrated both in mind and body, ami at
length became so weakened I could not attend to nty busi
ness, and was sinking into a decline, and it was believed
1 never could recover. The best medical aid was procured

till" i was advised to use your Elixir, and from the time i
began taking it I gradually improved till I was completely
restored to health. The dreadful sufferings I endured
