Having made numerous experiments with
Mr. Lewis II. Spear's Fruit-Preserving So
lution, we are enabled to state that it will
prevent the decoaiposition of fruits when
used ia the manner described by him. The
prepared fruit3 upon which we experimented
had been mixfd with the Solution, and were
found to resist all attempts to jrenerate fer
mentation. There is nothing in the nature
cf this Solution which, when absorbed by
the fruit?, can ac in a manner to render them

The Best Eecornmendation.
A youth seeking employment cauie to
New York city, aud on inquiring at a
certain counting room if they wished a
clerk, was told they did not. Ou men
tioning the recommendations that he had,
oue of which was f rom a highly respect-

them. In turning over his carpet-bag to

floor.
"What book is that V said the mer
chant. "It is tho Bible, sir," was the reply.
"Aud what are you going to do with
that book in New York V

Care for Slander.
A lady sends the following recipe :
The following is a cure for that troub
lesome disease of the mouth called slan
der. Like a good many patent medicines,
if it does no good it may do no harm.
"Take an ounce of good nature, one ounce
of au herb called miud-your-business, mix
this with a little charity for others, and
two or three sprigs of kcep-your-tongue-betwecn-your-teeth
; simmer them in a
vessel called circumspection for a short
time, and it will be nt for use. Applica
tion : the symptoms arc a violent ltehiog
in the tongue and roof of the mouth,
which invariably takes place when you
re iu company with a-species of animals
called gossips. When you feel a fit of it
cotuiug on, take a tcaspoonful of the mix
ture, hold it in your mouth, which jou
will keep closely shut until you get home,
and you will be completely cured. Should
you apprehend
nd a relapse, keep a small
bottle lull about you and on the slightest
symptoms repeat the dose." Luzerne

Tl
Thursday night our neighbor over th
river were placed "hors da combat j" and at
last accounts they had not entirely re
covered from their fright. It appears
that a large number of horses were cor
ralled near Walker's brewery, a short
distance above Windsor, and during the
night they broke out of the enclosure.
They made a hasty stampede toward tho
town, and of course the vigilant "gawd"
heard the terrible racket. As the noift

The drums beat "to arms' and the
bold volunteers, neatly done up iu red
Gannel, marched out to meet the much
dreaded foe. One battallion was hur
riedly forced acros the street, but whrn
j the horses reached the place" the volun
teers gave way panic stricken and sought
safety ia flight. The scene that ensued
it is said, beggars description. Red coat
seven inch tails fluttered in the breeze,
and knapsack3, instead of being "strapped'
upon the backs of soldiers, were thrown,
in every direction. The affair, in short,
was a regular "Dull Run."
Small Change.
No more issue of paper currency of tho -denomination
of five and three cent pieces
will be made. James Pollock, Director
of tho Mint of Philadelphia, has issued a
circular, fixing the regulations for the dis
tribution of the cents, and the new nick
el three and five cent pieces of the United
States :
"The bronze one and two, and the nick
el three and five cent coins can now be
had at the mint in exchange for the gold
and silver coins or the legal tender notes
of the United States.
"The new three cent pieces are put up
in bag3 of 30, and the five cent pieces
in sums of S50 each, and either of theso
sums, or any larger amount, of which
thirty or fifty is the multiple, will be sent
in the order of the entry of application.
"The reasonable expenses of the trans
portation of the cent aud three cent pieces
in sums of 50, and the five cent coin in
sums of S50 or upwards, to any point ac
cessible by railroad or steamboat, will bo
paid by the Mint.
"The Adams' Kxprcss Company will
act as ageuts for parties ordering cents,
&c, to which uioney or drafts on national
banks, on certificates of deposit in national
I bauks, payable to the order of the Direc-
jlor or "e .treasurer or the .Mint, may bo
