SUGAR-CURING OF BUTTER,
Tersons, who -put op: keg butter for tbeir own
use, or for a distant market, usually salt theirTiut
ter very high; This high salting necessarily de
tracts lrom its quality, injures its ready sale, and;
Teducesitßprice. -If we can modify this excessot
insult by using' more palatable substances, of equal
afljeacy, ns preservatives, it will be an improvi
meht.. Chemists tell us that sugar is one ot these
substances; and experience gives us the same in
formation.. Who is not familiar with sugar cured
hams? If pork can be cured with sugar, why
may-riot-butter be so preserved also? is a common
sense inquiry. Experience has shown that it may.
Dr. James Anderson, the celebrated ogricnlturist,
(whose treatise on the management of the dairy,
particularly with respect to the making and cu
ring of butter, is still highest and beat ati'hor
ily on the subject,) found, from some years, tfial
fit, that the following named composition—the
properties of which we believe were discovered by
his aimable lady—was far preferable to salt alone,
as it not only preserves the batter more effectual
ly from at!; taint of rancidity, but makes it also
look better and taste sweeter, richer, and more
morrowy, than portions of the same butter cured
with common salt: . ,
CojfpdsiTiojf : Take of sugarone part; of nitre,
one part; and of the best Spanish great salt, (or
rock salt,) two parts.' Beat the whole into a fine
powder, mix them well together, and put them by
for use.
The Dr. continues:-—‘-Of this composition one
ounce should be put to every sixteen ounces oi
butter; mix this salt thoroughly with the butter as
soon as it has been freed from the milk, and put
it .without loss of time, down into the vessel pre
paired to receive it, pressing it so close as to leave
no air holes or any kind of cavities within it
Smooth the surface, and if you expect it will be
above a day or two before you can add more,
cover it up close with a piece of clean linen, and
above that a piece of wetted parchment, or for
want of that, fine linen that has been dipped in
melted butter, exactly fitted, to the edges of the
vessel alt round, so us to exclude air as much as
possible, without the assistance of any
brine; when more butter is to be added, these cov.
erings are to be taken off, and the butter applied
close above the former pressing it down and smooth*
ing it as before, and so on till the vessel be full.
When it is quite full, let the two covers be spread
over it with: the greatest care,and i e ta little mel
ted butter be poured all round the edges, so as to
.fillup,every: cranny,:and effectually exclude the
air. A little salt may then be strewed over the
whole aud the cover be fixed downto remain close
shut till it be opened for use. If all this be care
fully done. the butter may be kept perfectly sound
in this climate Tor many years. How many years
I cannot tell; but I have seen it two years old,
and, m every respect as sweet and as souud as it
was when only a month old.
“It deserves to be remarked, that butter cured
in this manner does not taßie well till it has stood
at least a fortnight after being salted; but after
that period has elapsed it eats with a rich mar
io\vy taste that no other bulter even acquires; and
it tastes so little of salt, that a person who has
been accustomed to eat butter cured wuth common
salt only, would not imagine it had got one-fourth
part of the salt necessary to preserve it.”
It is to be hoped that same of onr x farmers, on
reading the above, will follow his directions. The
composition mentioned is, we have nndestood,
much used is Goshen, Orange county, New York,
a place famous for its superb butter. Great care
should be tßken <lo get the purest salt and sugar.
That known through the as the “grouud
alum’’ id the best salt. The sugar should be of
the purest white—either the loaf or the “fallen
loaf.” —Farmer and Mrchamc.
An exchange paper gives the following direc
tions for making.this excellent and wholesome rel
ish. . Shred red and white cabbage-spread itin lay
ers in a stone jar; with salt over each layer. Put
two. spoonsful of black pepper. and thesamequan
tity of allspice, cloves and cinnamon in a bag, and
scald them tn two quarts of vinegar, and pour the
vinegar over the cabbage and cover it tight- Use
it two days after.
preservation of eggs.
Some time ago a Mr. Jayne of Yorkshire ifi En
gland adopted the following process for preserving
eggs, which he says kept them in good condition
two years: ’
Take one bushel of quick lime, thirty-two oun
ces of salt, eight ounces of cream of tarter. Mix
these articles together, with as much water as will
reduce, the composition to a consistency that an
egg when put into it will swim. The eggs may
now be put in it, and be kept down by a board with
a gentle presure upon.— Me. Farmer.
Three eggs, a quart of Indian meat, a large ta
ble spoonful of fresh butter, a small tea spoonful
of salt, a half pint or more of milk. Beat the eggs
flight and mix them with milk; then stir in gradual
ly, the Indian meal, adding salt and butter. It
must not be batter, but a soft dough,-just’ thick,
enough to be stirred well with a spoon. too
thin, add more Indian meaj, if too stifl thin it frith
a little milk. Beat or stir it long and hard. JSut
ter a tin or iron pan; put the mixture into it, and
iset the pan immediately into an oven, which must
be moderately hot at first, and the heat increased.,
afterwards. A Dutch oven is the best for this put
pose. It should bake an hoar and a half or tiro
hours, in proportion to its thickness. Send it lo
the table, hot and cut into slices. Eat with butter,
or molasses.
As soon, as the weather becomes cool, hens should
be provided with some warm and comfortable place
inwhichto roost. If they*be incarcerated constan
tly, from the first cold snap till the opening of the
ground the following spring, so-much the better,
provided that they have Comfortable quarters, and
a. sufficiency of those alimentary matters which
they require and obtain when at large. The bet*
tar hens are kept the more wiJl they concentratein
the weight of the owner’s purse, 1 and if proper care
he exercised in fitting up. their quarters, supplying
them with food, drink^-&, they-will continue to
Ibv (luring a good par.fof the winter, and be rarely
assailed by disease o,j nn y kind.
■ If practicable, h.eep meat constantly by them ;
also lime, ashes, .pounded bone and brick. Vege
tables, uncooked—such as potatoes, cabbages, tur
nips, carrots, rfod parsnips, are all much liked by
the hen, especially.when confined. By following
this plan, y ju will find your hens a source of prof
it instead of.’ an expense. —Germantown Telegraph.
The.AmeoicanJoiirn.il of Agricultural Science,
for September, contains an article by Professor
Emnifons, oii‘ the cultivation of millet. The lar
ger-naßlepis much cultivated in some parts of Eu
rope. Cemxany, for example, where it is seen in
the morkets, prepared by seperation from thehiißk,
in the form of beautiful grains, perfectly round, of
mgcdden color. It is used in soups, and, boiled by
itselfi with Water, it forms an excellent and very
wholesome kind, of hominy. Professor Emmonß
has-subjected mallet to analysis, in order to deter
mine the proportion of nutritive matter itcontains..
Hfe finds that compared with wheat or Indian
corn, except in oil, it exceeds both in its power of
sustaining life.;” The'grain' is “ rich in the ele
ments which produce bone and muscle, and its
straw is not deficient in the element common to
the cultivated grasses.” "He: thinks it might be
cultivat'd in tikis country with profit, as food for
animals, as it ■ yields from sixty-five to seventy
bushels to the acre.
i “Mocuio” Hotis.—Mr. S. Stephens, of Half Day,
Lake county,: informs us that he has Borne hogs
passing under this name, which he describes as
very extraordinary animals. They attain their
growth in six months, and may be fatted to weigh
from. 200 to 250 (pounds without any difficulty—
They possess extraordinary length of body—a sow
now in his possession measuring 5 feet in length
—with remarkably short legs, being'scarcely six
inches above the ground. They are perfectly sym
metrical, very qnaet and docile in disposition, and
furnish; pork ;of excellent: flavor. Air. 'Stephens
states that the breed-may be found in Broome and
ifpjoining countie s,.New .York, and,that a gentle-,
man in Boone coupty,'lllinois,' is possessed of them.

The People’s CamUdatt. for ;Mayor>
The Gazette has not lost any of it* partisan bitter
ness. That paper, of yesterday, speaks as fallows
in.relation to Calvin Adams,, the people’s candidate
for Mayor. The Deacon is forced to admit that Mr.
A. “ is an excellent man, and would make a good
Mayor,” but by using the opprobrious torm “ loco
focot,” he thinks that he will prevent the wbigs from
supporting him. Such a course is not exactly fair*
especially when the Gaxotie editor knows that good
meo ofall parties are enlisted iin favor of Mr. Adams:
The Locofocoe have taken up Mr. Calvin Adams,
of the Novelty Works'fSs'tbetr candidate for Mayor.
Mr. Adams, we believe, is nn etcellent man, and
wptld make B jgood Mayor. He happens to bo on
the wrong afde Of poHfitt snccess/how
cver worthy lie may bo. An both parties bave fint
rate men, the camvass wili be pleasant and good
humored, and party lines will be pretty closely
drawn. The Whigs, however, have the strength*,
and will win the •victory. A
Letteir from Gen. Tnylor.
The followinj' letter, written by the President
elect, in reply tit a committee of our citizens, who
extended to blra sn invitation to visit Pittsburgh, on
his wsy to Washington City, hat been furnished os
for by tbc committee. It will be per
ceived that the General intends to honor our city
with a visit, if he shall End time to do so, after trans
acting some private business in Kentucky.. We pre
sume he will, take a few lessons in cabinet-making
from “ hit old friend, Gov. Crittenden,” while in that

Geolicr,\en—l have received your mutt courteous
invitation, tendered on bebalfofmany of your fellow
cilixens of Pittsburgh, to visit that city on my way
to Washington.
It will afford me touch pleasure to do so, provided
1 haV'j time, after transacting my private business
in K.enlucky. I contemplate, if possible, passing
through Pittsburgh, but shall, in good time, commit
nicate to you the certainty of my movemenu beyond
K Cntucky.
Please accept, for your fellow citizens, my most
grateful thanks for their congratulations.

lion. Andrew W. Loomis.
We publish the following communication, at the
request of an esteemed Democratic friend. We
have heretofore exprensed the opinion, Editorially,
that if Gen. Taylor should conclude to remove
Democrats, from office, “for opinion’s sake,” he
could not find a better man in the Union to take in
to his confidence, than our good whig friend A. W.
Loomis, Esq., of this ciiyr 5

Dear Sib. —ln requesting for the following few
lines, the favor of an insertion in your paper, we
hope that we maynot be deemed intrusive. Always
regard the press as the patron of merit' and gov
erned by the conviction that no portion of it is more
ready to bestow its favorable recognition than that
over which you preside, we have been induced to
seek through its agency the succeeding expression
viz:— r
Having observed in several of our exchange as
well a« local papers, tho Hon. A. W. Loomis men
tioned in connection with the anticipated cabinet of
General Taylor, an involuntary impulse sanctioned
the roccommendation, without affording time to ask
the question, what arc his politics 7
All preferences, on the score of political viows,
being wholly precluded by the election of General
Taylor, we can but hope that under the new state of
things, the Executive will call to his-assistance,', in
the administration of the government, Uioae in whom
the people can confidently repose the belief that,
that only will be done, which matured judgment and
high moral worth shall sanction,a*best adopted to
the promotion of tho honey and tho welfare of the
States. In no instance. could this hope bo more
fully realised, than in tho appointment of tho Hon.
A. W. Loomis to the office of Attorney General—
Esteemed and beloved by all who khow him, he en
joys the attachment and unshaken confidence and
devotedness of a large circle of friends, from all the
walks of life. In tho full vigor of health and spir
its, he possesses a mind richly stored with learning
and characterised by an intellectual brilliancy and
proves rarely centered in the same individual. No
cablne't appointment could be more desirable, none
could afford more general satisfaction!. With ihis
splendid abilities and exalted purity of character,
Mr. Loomis would reflect credit'upon the “Old
Keystone,” renown upon himself, and prove an or
nament to the cabinet, and honor to the station he
would fill. A Democratic Subscriber.

• We received yesterday the following communica
tion, in relation to the -melancholy* suicide of the
Rev;. Robert M; White, of ■ Pughtbwh,Ya. y an im
porfcctnccount of.-which was published in pur col
umns,; a-few days since, The artielp below is from
thc.pen ofa distinguished: Presbyterian clergyman,
rfln Intima'te friend of thedcccased; who has obtain
ed the facta of the caae, principally, from Mrs. W.,
and has written at the special instance and request
of that worthy and ‘excellent lady. .. We take great
pleasure in publishing the ; which fol--
lows, and trust it will be copied by those editors who
inserted the first article on this subject from the
Morning Posts r
Mr.. Editor The Post , of the. 21st. on
tains a notice of the death of Rev. JLM. White, of
Pughtowb, Brooke! county, .Va. That notice ex
• hibits, no doubt unintentionally, a misrepresento ion
of the facts in the case, which, if not correc'ed,'
cannot fail to make a false impression. A just re
gard for.the reputation of: the deceased, connected
with a still higher respect for the honor of religion,
constrains me to ask. the insertion, In your columns,
of the following statement, for the; correctness of
which I hold the most ample vouchers. . •»
In removing, from Pughtowb, tb. Churtiers, £lr.
White exchanged a large congregationfor a small
one, prompted by the hope of recruiting his health,
by releasing the severity of his ministerial: labors.
In a congregation eo large as that ofPaghtown, the
multiplicity of bis labors, in and out of-the pulpit,
was such as to superinduce incipient Bronchitis,'
which, several years before he left Poghtown, threat
ened to; deprive the Church of his valuable services.
Under 'this aspect of the subject, many of his most
judicious friends, as well as himself, regardejl a
r change' of location as being highly expedient. Be
fore leaving his-old charge, Mr. W. seemed .to have
[a premonition that he would not live long, of which
’he gave notice to his wife. The baaU of this im
pression seems to have been a very peculiar sensa
tion he felt in his head} while writing: a letter, as if
some vital deTangementhad suddenly taken place in
his brain. Whether this bad. any thing to da With
his subsequent mental aberrations if is impossible to
say. There can be no doubt, however, that his per
plexity of mind, as lb the propriety of his removal,
was greatly increased by tihe unusual* indications of
respect aud attachment,, from the peppte of Pugh
town, on the day of bU removal. I
Very soon after reachinghis new location, he give
unequivocal indicationsof insanity. In his lucid in
tervals, however, conicious of previous derange,
ment, and fearing separation from his towhom?
he was most affectionately attached, he would en-"
join it upon his wife not to divulge the fact of his
derangetnont. 60 bi* return to Pugbtawn, the evi
dences of insanity grew more decisive; still, it Was
hoped he would yet recover, and again become, as
before, the beloved pastor of his old congregation.
; The statement, in the jPo*/, relative to arsenic* is
incorrect, inasmuch as it makes the impression, that
Mr. W. sought the poison, not to kill rats, but .to
take his own life. The truth , however, is that an
affectionate sister, perhaps injudiciously, did request
him to get the arsenic to destroy the rats. There.'
is no evidence, whatever, that he meditated suicide
by arsenic.
- But waiving any notice of the trivial inaccuracies
about Ur. Biair calling immediately at the bouse of
Mr. W.—-relating to Mrs. W. the occurrences at jii*
office—visiting the stable, then the wood-lot, in
search: of Mr. W., and then returning with others to
the stable* &c., [allof which is subsUDtiaUy troe bf
two other persons j but not of Dr. H.] The grand
error in the comrounication of thePpzf itthat it
does not notice the. fact that this melsncholy affsir
,trcf therautt tb+AfMt taani/eAf inwisfly. OTtMsi
no one doubts, wheels at all acquainted with tl
' facta in the case; And yet, from anything that a]
pears in the notice referred to, Mr; W.,triM his eyes
open, launched himself into eternity, influenced by
a peevi*hidi»saii»raction with the providence Of
God* tit afflicting ht* family and permitting his remo
val 1 Such a representation makes him a hypocrite
and a bad man! The overwhelming evidence of his
life utterly falsifies the allegation. A man is no
more to blame for an attack of imanify, than of/eerf.
Half the evidence of insanity* accessible in thiecasd,
would have acquitted him,on achargcof jour murder
or mine, before any intelligent jury of his country.
I add no more. The reputation of an eicelfent ma i
and able minister of Jesus Christ, the character < f
the rniniitry generally, the regard due to the amiable
widow and family of: the deceased, and above all,
the honor of that religion, which, in his life, he sp
ably and zealously espoused, imperiously require
that it should be distinctly known that this melan
choly event was the result of the most indubitable
insanity. t J. 8, :

the money. . Crane said M/c note was bad; the-rest

Penney came id, asked me to eeotho note, and coni
pared it with another; In five or six days I instituted
proceedings against Baker; Mr. Penney pronounced
the note counterfeit; made information before Aid.
Steele; kept ncto in my possession in the mean
time. ;
Cross examined.— Did not take it back to Baker;
I have been engaged in getting- up the prosecution,
but not been more active than others; kept this note
in i separate box, it was not‘with other money.
Marked it after Penney told mo they were counters
felt. Never passed the note upon any one ; never
told any one that I had passed it. We agreed to
prosecute before Esq. Steele; but we did not kno\y
that Baker was coming down till we saw him on thf

Keesport where a haul might be made. We search
ed Baker, found good money upon him. It was
stated that Mrs. Long had been detected in trying to
pass a counterfeit. 1

Mr. Alden proposed to ask witness what Bhc hat
said to others about the coloring of notes.

very animated argument arose between Messrs. Ma*
grtw and Woods for Defence,and Messrs. Alden and
'Washington for Commonwealth. The question
whether declarations of the witness could be .-ref
ceived as evideuce. . •
The Court decided that, as the witness wasahunf
willing one, the Commonwealth bad a right
ceed to crosß examine her. ' i
The witness, Mrs. Long, was then examined:—l
told some person that Mr. Baker had. ordered me to

that. The book itseifis a facsimile of an old manu*

, . Ahti-Sabdath Bbeakino.— Wc have not heard
any more of-the meetings of those gentlemen Svlio
were so enthusiastic on the subject of a due obser
vance dr the Sabbath. We regret this, for some
persons will say that they have withdrawn their sup
port-from the movement on accountofthe lUrnit
has taken on the subject of carriages. AVewere un
der the impression that there was to be a meeting in
Dr. Jlerrbn’s Church, on Thursday evening, ami in
consequence traveled up, but found all darkness.
We trust the matter may not be abandoned.
JfetTThe Cholera is approaching us. \Ve:think
*here need pe no alarm, however, for only the in
temperate are in danger from.ita appearance in this
city. We have the opinion of one of the'best physi
cians in the city that it will most likely not tonch
here. He givbs satisfactory reasons: The manufac
turing towns in England escaped entirely ; the ma
lady is very mild this time, compared with 1832,
when Pittsburgh escaped ,without;seriour affliction.
SST In tiie case of Cbm. w. Dr. Walters, in which
Dr. Wcrneburg was' prosecutor, the Court required
the defendant to pay tbe.coats, and each party to
pay his own witness fees. We make this statement
at the request of the who says we mis
tated lihe matter in our regular report.- • >. >
