PERHAPS it will nut be deemed'impertiz !lent if we ask at this th9e, " What has become of the Crawford' county System ?" TILE Democrats of Sullivan,County will hold their Comity. Convention at the Court House, in Laporte, leptember 30th.

Democrats shouldn't vote, Anyhow: for the present year, the pq- 7itleal conventions for this county have all been held, and we have carefully read the proceedings of each and every one.' Not Illewh,rti is tuadC in nny of the ptiblished :opolls of the " Crawford County Sys ttm," Why is this thus? What has be. ..ouic of that petition to which is attached courteeti_hundred names asking the adop tioir of this great reform in the manner of n tilinating candidates? -It strikes us those_ who were so lonely and persist- cut ly demanding the adoption of the "System" but a few months ago, should "rise and explain." HAWES BROTHERS TOY MANUFACTORY. *e take the following notice of the lla . wr.s Blethers Toy :Manufactory, at Greenwood, from the Monroeton corre spondence found in a recent issue of the Elmirh Gazette : , • "In some former articles I have t cited the tributaries of the life and proiperity of the place, arid now with your permis propose to touch just one item of its importhnce in the whole of- this grand old world'in which I write awl you print. tour correspondent attempted the other day to interview one of the heads of the . ;inn of " Hawes Brothers,7. the great toy factory of such immense enterprise and dimensions , in our midst ; but we were not satisfactorily successful, ) ,en the 4zround that-Mr. Hawes has some objec titins to liat''ng his business in all its fea tures Spread before so many people as are swarmed on this old _human thoroughfare, at the present writing, and in so wide a ir,itige as is now taken in by the Gazette, a vehicle with, which he rs somewhat fa- Nevertheless, we will tr tdo 'that very gentlemanly firni as 'Ufa° harm as ,possible, while at the same time we ';fhrnish a little item of common interest, to which.tht great publiC are justly enti tied. I but reiterate what has but just found its way into type—that we have here in Monroe the largest toy factory tli;it there is in the kntiwn world. I do not share in the opinion that celebrity to this fact will indoce others to rushiin hnd start additional enterprises of the kind, tit the injury of Messrs. Hawes Brothers' . OiI,IIICSS. ;An immense quantity of tim bete' land, with mills and lumbering es tablishments well ,appointed; serve to Ifee'd this - huge factory with the necessary material 'for manufacturing. A ,great number of laihes awl saws and all needed instruments, tool, and appliances, serve to devour the material furnished. A vast '.amount of sunshine and wind are needed to season and dry the prepared material, • SO as to be ready for the lathes. From the , timber woods to the sawmills, and thence to all the indoor and out labors, we will count at least forty men employed on every week day, compriSing sqtne of the finest and most skillful mechanics that can be found in the country; and then in boxing .up ready for shipment, making boxes, ere., another class of hands, while at the:very point of no little interest, we eiunt ,are thirty lboyS from twelve to tw t :rity in years, each having his steady • daily work and place of business,--out of mischief and houri as regular as in any institution in the land. Their orders are from the four corners of the_ civilized I • world, yes, , even from China.. _Their ship.: ments are tons by the day:: It" is bul work to' till - their orders. Their income is large. ' reliability is.all that can be desired. Once a week, or in' two Weeks as the case-may be, every boy, man and employe, is made glad. For ten years there has nofbeen, such a word or thing as .failure. The toy. faCtory of Hawes L'rohers, of Monroe, is a fixed fact of re liability and prosperity—a benefit to the country. Long may it wave and Shine." , FROM EAST TROY. • .EAst SP.Oy , September 12th. . The,papers announce that the yearly pic-nic on Mt. Pisgah was a failtiee. Why? Notbccause the. people of Western Brad ford do not appreciate the grandeur and beauty of the scenery there to be enjoyed, or are lacking in those social tinaliti/A that render sufdi occasions enjoyal4; but it is another illustration of the great truth that nothing good can be gained without effort. It is said that Lourrszo Dow tiled to announce at the close of his services, that one year from that day ,and hour he would preach at the same place again ; T s and when the appointed time came am he was always greeted • With . large au l encee. But it is doubtful whether it •w not necessary for the brethren to , bestir themselved in advance and arouse the peo- pie, refreshing their memory as to the time and importance of the occision. 80 Mr. - Gusto; and officers of the Mt. Phsgali association, nesfyesi let us see the hand- bills and notices in the - papers. Get up something novel and attractive; send an invitation to the President s and both can didates who at that time will be willing to make any and every, sacrifice of domes- 't tic ease to save' their ' suffering country' s from the vortex of ruin to which it is ex-, p 7. 'posed every quadrennial by occupying the White Bouse,—and then withCiut waiting • for their acCeptince, announce that then and there these political luminaries will exhibit themselves to the admiring gaze A. of their fellow citizens (if they come of course), and, then we will show that we are not unappreciative or ungrateful that the great Architect of the universe has placed in our midst one of Nature's . 1 1 , grand observatories from which we may gaze with rapture upon the.broad expanse P. • of His domain,' with. its_soul-elevating in fluences, as we get a glimpse of the grand-, eur and beauty of creation and contem plate the majesty and goodness of the Crepter. Vat Thursday night Rev. S. F. MA- TeE7s was followed home from prayer meeting by tome fifty or more persons who unceremoniously took possession , of , the parsonage, and . without the slightest provocation proceeded to administer to the Reverend gentleman and his estimable lady a most , beautiful pounding: 'But they showed such Christian forbearance under the affliction, , that the contending eleneents . soon became reconciled to each other, and two most agreeable hours were spent together, after which, he did not exactly turn the other cheek also, but in a neat and feeling address thanked them so kindly that all felt at liberty to repeat the offense . whenever they might feel suf ficiently malicious to do so.

MEE ME oo maz cwnuiF.K.• In seeding down land in this sea tloa it is ;he common practice to do itin. connection with a grain crop. jig some other . parts ,of the. country the grain is omited, and is done with beriefit,4i the forage crop In a double sense; the catch and growth will be better, and' there will l be a:crely the 'saibeidyear, a crop of grais or clover instead of the grain:- lAs the forage crop is: the principal object, Wended to be continuedfor ..... j years if not per manently, the impo of getting it well established:is' onceseen. ‘ To miss a catch is to lose the seed arid the _labor of putting it fu, be sides_ disarranging rotation. If only 1 a portion of the-seed takes, mking a thin set, it is worse still, as u sially it is made to do, trusting to luck of maiure in the future. Without the manure, which is generally not ap iiiied, there is sure to , be a ,light growth;' not much more than pay ing for the harvesting, being a loss therefore* in the use of ,the .land, whereas had there been a total fail : are of the seeding, something might have . leen done with a grain crop following, instead 'of this lois with a partial crop. Bat in either - caae it is bad, generally because the land-is seeded when run down, and hence not in a condition' 'to receive so im= portant a crop, which should have at least a good start 'to get it establish ed. This is absolutely a necessity. Not only is the , land rundown, but the drain must i l be continued by the grain crop 'which directlY takes the food that; ought to be left for the grass. As it is, there is too little left for either, each seeking to get what it can, the grain always getting the upper hand, the young grass so small and thin that it is with difficulty . seen, and a drew& Would suppress it entirely. The remedy is to give the seeding all the benefit of .the ground.'But it will be said, this exposes it to the sun, whereas the , grain would: have been a protection. This, I find is what generally prevents a change from the old system. It is an error, of course, as has been' abundantiv proved. The past summer one !Of my neighbors was. induced,.upon my advice; to test, the matter, my ad- Vice being fortified by °practice. He had two dooryards to seed down ; one he seeded without the grain, the other with barley. The barley was a heavy yield, withsome weeds in it, and I smothered the seeding, the ground being bare this spring, except a few weeds. Even where the ground is rich, seeding • will suf fer if associated _with 'grain, the great growth of the grain having a tendancY to smother the grass. In all cases it will retard it, and should the grain' lodge, .it will be pretty sure to ha it. Thus we frequently see fields with an uneven catch, the lodged places being bare of grass. Even if the rest is good,' thisis not, desirable. Oitto,i . On strong ground, are, pretty sure to be hard upon seed ing ; if sown thick, failure often re sults. Barley, which has a heavy growth, is less harmful ; so is wheat. The grain, therefore, instead of be . ing a protection, as held, •is a dam age—an obstructiOn. Give the grass the full benefit. It will not only endure the sun, but it re quires it. It wants the wermth, es pecially in the start;%hnd with suffi cient moisture will push .on at once soon covering the ground and shad-. ing it, becodiing thus self-protective. Particularly Ls it an adventage if put : out early, so, as to get the winter moisture. It can be put out earlier , than a grain crop, as it endures the early severe weather better, and it then wants all the- sun it can get. One difficulty heretofore has been, and is yet to some extent, that the seed has not been covered. To cover is to fortify it against drouth should it occur, as it som tithes does even quite early. The s dshould be well brushed in, or the land at lease.roll ed. Biit the best way is to use a light, fine-toothed harrow, or; what suits the purpose exactly. the smooth ing harrow. This covers the seed evenly and lightly. In , such 'a case, with the. land' well drained and the soil good and mellbw, there is no such thing as failure if the seed is fresh and sound. ( , , Grass seed may be put in either' in the tall or earlylin the spring ; clover only in the spring, and' also early. If put out in the spring, the land should'be got ready in the fall; plow ed and harrowed so as to receive'the seed eirly ; either sown on the late snows, so as to get covered by the freezing and thawing of the ground, that follows (which I have always found...a ; good plan), or it may be de ferred till the ground is dry enough to use the harrow for covering the seed. With fall plowing there is also A good chance to give the plow ed ground a coat of manure, which most land to be seeded down re 'quires, and harrow well in the spring when the soil will be found lo be in the finest condition—a good catch and a good subsequent growth being sure to follow. , Remember that grass - will bear heavy manuring, and pay well for the investment, always pushing the ~growth so that two good crops, instead of usually one as now, may ke realized after the 'year of seeding, which furnishes one crop and a good set of aftermath for protection. If this plan is adopt ed, there will be little complaint of poor seeding and runout' niehdows. The latter is avoided by topdressing as required ; and should the land lie wichted - Tor grain, the' heavy sodill A i fit it for a heavy growth of ur n; followed by the gram, and in con dition for seeding 'again. tis in this way that the land is est kept up, first securing the ben fit of the grass and then of the Bode ~,.~>~ =I Than the N.

How to From.the Setentlfl A pure, sweet cider is only obtain able from clean 4ound fruit, and - the I/ fruit 'should, therefore be cp.refully examined and wiped before giinding. In the prhtis, use hair cloth or gun ny in the / place , of straw. As the cider runi from the press let it pass through a hair sieve into' a large open 'Case l that will hold as much juic as can-be expressed in one day. In ne day, or sometimes less, the p mace will rise to. the top, and in a / s ort time grow very thick. When little white bubbles break through it; draw off the liquid through a very .small spigot placed - . about three inches from the bottom, so that the lees may be left behind. The cider must be drawn off into very clean, sweet-casks, preferably fresh liquor .casks, and closely watched. " The moment, the white bubbles, befOre mentioned, are perceived rising at the bunghole, rack it again. It is usually necessary to repeat this three times.t Then fill up the cask with cider in every respect like that origi. nally contained in --it, add a tumbler of warm sweet oil, and ,bung up tight. For very Ana. eider - it is cus tomary to add at this stage of the process about half a pound of gin co.se (arch ingar,) - or a smaller por tion of whitt , sugar. The cask should then be allowed _to remain in a cool place Until the cider has acquired the desired flavor. Pi the meantime clean barrels'for its reception should be, prepared, as follows: Some clean strips of rags ..are dipped in melted sulphur; lighted and burned in the bunghole, and the bung laid loosely on the end of the-rag so as to retain the sulphur vapor within the barrel. Then tie up half a pound of mustard seed in a coarse muslin bag, and s .put it in.the barrel, fill 'the barrel with cider, add about a quatter of a pound of isinglass or fine gelatine dissolved in hot water. . This is the old-fashidhed way, and will keep cider in the same condition as when it went,lntO _the ,barrel, if kept in,a_coOl.placo, for a year. Professional cider makers aije now using calciumcsulphite (sulphite of lime), instead of mustard and sul phur. vapor. It.is much more conven ient and effectual. ' To use it, it is siinplY requisite to 'add •one-eight tci one-quarter _of an ounce of - the sul phite to each gallon of cider in the cask; first .mixing the . pOwder' in aboq, a quart of the elder, then pour ing ik back into tlie Cask and givigg the latter a thorough shaking or roll ing. After standing bunged several days to, allow the sulphite to exert its-full-action it may be bottled Off. The sulphite of-lime (which should not be mistaken for the.sul i phatd of lime) is a commercial article, costing about , ineents a pound by the barrel.. It will preserve the sweetness ? of the cider perfectly, but . unless care is taken : not to add -too much of it, i; will impart a slight . salphurous taste to•the cider. The `bottles and corks used should be perfectly clean, and the corks wired down.- A little ciutiamon, wintergreen or sassafras, etc., is often - added to sweet cider in the bottle, together with a drachm or so of bicarbonate of soda at the moment of driving 'the stopper. This helps to neutralize free acids, and renders• the liquid effervescent when unstoppered; but if used in excess it may prejudicially affect the taste: SOUTHERN Gunn. 7 -A lady corres pondent who was "born and brought up" in the South, and who knows what good cooking is, and how to.do it, sends the . annexed receipt for ma / king Gumbo, a dish which is in great repute in the Southern stiction, , of our country: CutCa chicken in pieces, flour well, fry brown in hot lard.
