BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Jen. Jacob 91. Cuinpbell, Kcpubli
caa Candidate for Surveyor C.'cw
cral.
General Campbell was born in Allecbcny
township, Somerset county, Pa., on the 20tu
day of November, 1821 ; consequently, he
will be forty-seven years old next November.
At an early age be tvas apprenticed to the
printiug business, in Somerset, Pa. After
mastering tba "art preservative of arts," ho
emigrated to Pittsburgh where bo "worked
at case" for some time. lie next found his
way to New Orleans, aud into another print
ing office. Tired of the "composing stick
and rule," be tried bis band at steamboating,
first as a deck band, and subsequently as
clerk, mate, and purt owuer of a vessel. Iu
1817 wu tind hi in in the iron business, at
Brady's Bend. In 1831 be followed the tide
of euiigrutiou to California, remiiining Micro
but a short time. In 1833 we flud him iu
Jobnstowu, Pa., assisting in the construc
tion of the mammoth Cambria Iron 'Works,
with which establishment he was connected
up to the breaking out of the war. In 1801,
be was among the first to euroll himself as it
volunteer, to defend tho flng-of bis country,
and belonged to the Jirtt company that enteral
Camp Curtin. Upon the arrival of the com
pany in Harrisburg, and the organization of
the Third Iiegimunt of Pennsylvania Volun
teers to which his company was attached,
Lieut. Campbell was appointed Quartermas
ter of the regiment, which position he filled
with credit to himself and to the satisfaction
of the officers and men of his regiment, as
all those who remain will testify. lie was
mustered out of service on the 28th of July
1801, and on tbe 30th of the same month,
was commissioned by Gov. Curtin to raise,
regiment. The regiment was recruited
mainly through Colonel Campbell's individ
ual exertions, and upon being organized,
was designated the 4th. His regiment was
tbu escort of honor through the city of
Washington, to the remains of the lamented
Col. Cauieron (brother of Hon. Simon Came
ron) who fell at the first Bull Kim battle.
On the 2Dth of March, 1802, Col. Campbell
was ordered to occupy the line of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad from North Moun
tain station, fifty-six miles westward to the
South Branch of tho Potomac. In that po
ol ti in, the executive as well as the military
abilities of the Colonel were constantly cull
ed into requisition. How well ho performed
bis arduous and multitudinous duties iu this
trying position, the officers of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, as well as bis superiors
in tbe military service, do not hesitate to
declare that but for bis energy and sleepless
watchfulness, many miles of the road would
have been destroyed. On the 25th of De
cember, 1802, be was relieved from duty
along the railroad, and on tbe Oth of March,
1803, was assigned to the command of the
Fourth Brigade, Fut Division, Eighth
Army Corps. In 1804, Uen. Sigel took com
mand of tbe Department of West Virginia,
and iu a re organization of the troops, Col.
Campbell, at bis own request, was returned
to tbe commend of bis regiment,aod took an
sxtive part in the buttle of New Market,
occupying the left of tbe line. His regi
ment Buttered severely and was tbe last to
leave tbe field. But for the determined
stand made by Col. Campbell, Sigel's army
would have been routed aud demoralized.
In his official report of tbe battle, he ac
knowledged tho valuable services of Col.
Campbell in very baudsome aud fluttering
manner. A deserved compliment to a de
serving officer. Geu. Sigel also took occa
sion to thank Col. Campbell in person. "My
God I Col. Campbell, I wish I had known
you better I" Gen. Sigel exclaimed, rusbiug
to Col. Campbell and grasping bis baud
with both of bis own, after the tumult of
the battle bad subsided. The Colonel and
bit regiment took a promiuent part in the
battle of Piedmont, under Gen. Hunter. Ue
waa brevetted a Brigadier General for brave
ry and "fitness to command" iu this battle,
and again assigned to the command of a
brigade. He also took au active part ia
Hunter's celebrated "Lynchburg Bald," bis
command suffering heavily iu the attack
upon Lynchburg. When Col. Mulligan fell
at Winchester, Gen. Campbell took command
of tbe division, and contiuued iu command
until, by severe losses in killed and wounded,
it was consolidated iu a brigade, which be
afterwards commanded. He also participa
ted ia tbe engagements in the Sheuaudoab,
under tbe gallunt Pbil. Sheridan, winning
other and new laurels while with that intre
pid chieftain.
General Campbell waa mustered out of
tbe service in tbe fall of 1804, having been
in tbe army almost three years and a half.
Ue was never absent from bis command, ex
cept three weeks, sitting as & member of a
Court of Inquiry, at Wheeliug, West Vir
ginia, and bad but two "leaves of absence"
during bis whole peiiod of service, oue for
ten and tbe other lor twenty days.
Tbe political record of General Campbell
will also bear examination. Brought up a
Jackson Democrat, be voted for Polk and
Dallas in 1841, but in 1819, seeing the de
termined encroachments of tbe slavery
propagandists, be voted for tbe free soil
candidates, Van Buren and Adams, and in
1809 again Toted for tla free toll comlcees,
Hale and Julian ; and in 185G was the dele
gate from Cambria county to the Fremont
Convention. In 1859 the Republicans of
Cambria county presented him to their dis
trict conference as their choice for tho Sen
atorial nomination, and three years ago he
was unanimoutly selected Again as the choice
of the Union party of Cambria, for State
Senator, but failed to receive the nomination
from the district conference upon either
occasion, not, however, from want of appre
ciation of his worth and services as a citizen
and n brave and meritorious soldier.
On the 17th of August 1805, Gen. Camp
bell was nominated for Surveyor General by
tho Republican party, and in October of the
same year, was elected over Col. Linton, bis
competitor, by a largo majority. For over
two years he has administered the duties of
his office with rccongnized ability and to
tho satififaction of all parties; and has
brought up a large amount of unfinished
and intricate business. In March last be
was vntthimmtnhj renominated by the Re
publican State Convention, for the office he
now so ably and satisfactorily fills. A
unanimous renomination from a State Con
vention of either party, is no small compli
ment to any man, and no ono within our
recollection except Oen. Campbell and his
colleague on tho State ticket ever before
received such a marked endorsement.
Such in brief, is a hurried sketch of the
life end services of ono of Pennsylvania's
noblest sons. No is first four.d a "printer's
devil," a "jour," a "deck hand" on a steam
boat, a "clerk," "mate" and "part owner of
a vessel." Ho is next found in tho Iron
business, then in California, and finally in
tho gigantic enterprise of tbe celebrated
Cambria Iron Mills, whore his great expe
rience added lareely to the success of tjiat
stupendous undertaking. At tho breaking
out of the war, he was Lieutenant of a
militia company, entered the army and was
appointed a Quartermaster, then a Colonel,
and after a brillinnt campaign of three
long, weary years, he was honored with a
Brevet Brigadier Gcnnral's Commission, a
position long nnd doubly rnrned in com
mand of a brigade and division and by gal
lantry in tho field. Taut, it will bo seen,
that Gen. Campbell cornea from the work
ing class, and is emphatically a working
man.
His social characteristics never fail to cre
ate the warmest friendships and a lasting
impression. He is a shrewd business man
and a useful citizen a man endowed with
strong common sense, and rarely foils in his
judgment of men and measures is well
read, and familiarly acquainted with all the
Internal workings of the great machinery nf
our government. Among the ablest articles
on tho subject of our National finances, was
one from liis pen, written during tho early
part of last w inter. He is a genial com
panion, a clever, whole-souled, honest man,
strictly temperate in Ids habits, nnd that he
will be re elected by an increased majority,
is already beyoud a peradventnre.
MISCELLANEOUS
From Harpers' Weekly. J
Till: It.MIII.IlXJ A KIM.
TUUHAC'Y,
Tho Democratic platform, and orators,
and papers, with the old Democratic policy
of exciting the poor against tho rich, and
"tho people" against tho government, not
only insist npon paying the debt iu paper,
but demand what they call one currency for
tho luliorer nnd tl.e office-holder, the pen
sioner and the soldier, tho producer and
the bondholder. This is, of course, intend
ed as "gag," and it is the very poorest kind.
It is meant to suggest that there is a lazy
and luxurious class of the community, a
bloated aristocracy of bondholders, whom
tho virtuous and toiling "Democracy" are to
bring to grief. It is worth while, therefore,
to exposu this aristocracy and privileged
class, which is fattening upon the life-blood
of the nation, Who are these rascally fel
lows who are to be mado to suiter ?
Beside the three or four hundred millions
of the bonds held abroad, mainly iu Ger
many, t'.iey arc the investments of savings
banks, of tire, murine and life insurance
companies, and ot trust estates, as we
have betoro stated, the savings banks in Jew
York hold nearly fifty millions ot dollars ;
Massachusetts, twenty-five millons; in Rhode
Islaud, thirteen millions, and so in other
States. Tho life insurance companies in
the city of Now York iuvest twenty millious
nf dollars in these funds ; the murine and
fire insurance companies about forty -six
millions of dollars. .The various guarantee
companies in New York hold a hundred
millions of United States stock. Probably,
as a careful e.timate in tbe Eeining Pvt
showed, at least two thirds of the funds are
owued by such companies.
Having thus discovered where the money
is, let us now inquire who aro tbe proprie
tors of it who are these luzy rogues that
put money in the savings bunks, aud snap
their fingers at tho toiling "masses 1" In
the Statu of New York the depositors in
savings banks are nearly flvu hundred thou
sand in number, and in Massachusetts more
than three hundred thousand. The I'ost, of
which we havo spoken, bad before it a lut
of the occupations of the principal deposi
tors in ono of the savings banUs of this
State, and we find this body of Sybarites to
be composed of persons who aro even more
laborious than delegates to a Democratic
Convention. All' the branches of hard
workers are represented in this army. The
largest in tho number are domestic servants ;
then techuical laborers; then seamstresses ;
fourth, the clerks; fifth, tailors ; sixth, wai
ters, and seventh, cartmeo. This is the lux
urious aristocracy which is to bo brought
low. These are tho useless members of so
ciety, having invested their all in tbe pro
mises of tho United States, are now to find
these promises as valuable as brown paper,
if the Democrats can only persuade the peo
ple to repudiate.
It is against this pampered body, against
domestics and seamstresses and clerks and
waiters aud cartmen it is against the poor
est snd hardest working members of society,
that tbe Democrutio Convention raises its
cry of repudiation. When these persons in
vested in the government bonds, the govern
ment told tbem they were to be paid io gold.
"Pay 'em in paper," shout tbe Democratic
leaders. When they took the bonds the
government declared them free from taxa
tion. "Tax 'em roundly," cried tbe Demo
cratic, leaders. "But," plead the poor la
borers, "we lent money to save the govern
ment." "Hoi hoi" scream the Democratic
chiefs, "didn't we tell the government four
years ago that it couldn't save itself and
ought to aurrender t If you trusted it you
must pay the penalty.".
If the people care so little about it that
tbey permit the Domocratio chiefs to obtain
control of tbe . government, they will pay
tbe penalty, and tbey deserve to pay it.
(.'Iirintlniilly in (be Army.
The Detroit Trilunt of Tuesday says :
"Last evening Major General O. O. How
ard delivered a lecture at Young Men's Hull
touching bis experience of Christianity in
the army, for tho benefit of the Young Men's
Christian Association at Washington and
the Westminster Church of this city. He
said, from bis experience of Christianity in
the army, be was well aware that such
tboiuea might be deemed somewhat personal (
to tho lecturer, and that in presenting in
cidents of Christian experience publicly the
speaker always incurred some danger of
blunting his sensibilities and diminishing
their value and keen enjoyment to himself ;
yet iu such a came tbey might not be with
held. "General Howard said that lie entered
West Point as a cadet in 180, where among
his comrades profanity was quite common,
anil ridicule of religion and tuoso professing
religion the rule. Yet there were present
a few Christian cadets, whose society and
companionship ho involuntarily sought.
Among them was the future General Mo
Pherson, who died so lamented July 22,
1804, near Atlanta; also, General Joshua
Sill, who was killed wbilu gallantly fighting
at Stono River. Both men were at that
time distinguished by that same ability and
honor which afterward made their lives so
useful and glorious. Geueral Howard trust
ed and believed that the condition of things
at West Point iu regard to the moral stand
ing of the young cadets had been greatly
changed since that time, aud was now ma
terially improved. '
'Ilia first station in tbe army was a little
arsenal at Watervliet, wbero he saw saddco-
ing evidences of tho danger from aud the
ruin caused by the love of strong drink,
and I here be met an officer who afterwards
fell fighting for the rebellion, for whose wife
and children, as well as for the families
of many soldiers who left these unfortunates,
guiltle ss or blame themselves, ueneial How
ard made an eloquent appeal. His fourth
station was in Florida, nt the little town
of Tampa, whither ho was ordered December
18, 18.)0. At the time ot nis airival tlicro
he was not a Christian, but experienced tho
truth and power of Christianity very soon
afterwards. The only church in existence
there was of the Methodist denomination,
the pastor of which was an energetic, power
ful man, but somewhat rude, whom, however,
the General soon learned to love. He became
a co-worker with this gentleman, Mr Lyman,
after bis conversion ; and they labored
among the Florida volunteers, whoso sins
wero chiefly drunkenness and gambling.
One of the gentlemen to whom bo became
most attached was Colonel Loomis, of the
regular array, whoso character as a Christian
and a gentleman General Howard highly
com mended.
"From Florida he returned to West Point,
where he remained as an instructor during
the yeurs immediately pending the war, nnd
sought to, introduce religion and Christian
lite into the school. Prayer meetings were
established, young men ulteudud them, who
havo since generally becomo eminent, and
though the results ware uot outwardly so
great as he desired, yet be can now see God's
band in his course, training him and others
for the trial that was so swiftly approach
ing. One of the attendants at these prayer
meetings was General K. Iviiby, at whoso
dying bed be afterwards stood; another,
General W. C. Ilarker, who was killed ut
the assault on Kencsaw Mountain. Both
wero Christian gentlemen, who lived heroic
lives and died gallant honorable deaths.
"Previous to the commencement of tbe
war, General Howard had seriously consider
ed tbe propriety of entering tho ministry,
but at the breaking out of this conflict be
determiued that his duty led him to the
field, and there, during all the positions
which ho had, fiom that of colouel to that
of major general, be always maintained
religious services at his headquarters and
sought tho salvation of his men. During
the Georgia campaign he was acquainted
with many noble Christian officers interested
in tho same great work, among them Geu.
Ransom, who killed himself by marching at
tho bead of his coips in pursuit of Hood
when he should have been lying in an hos
pital ; Lieut. Col. II. M. Stiusnn and others.
In this portion of bis lecture, Gen. Howard
depicted the feelings often experienced
when about to engage in a serious action.
Ho himself, ho said, hud often experienced
a great depression, which almost for the
moment paralyzed tbo miud and body, but
prayer to God invariably maintained his
courage and equanimity, and with the crash
nf buttlo bis spirits rose to buoyuuey, aud
even sometimes to a feeling akin to uaiety.
when the occasion demands tbe exercise of
every faculty and no opportunity was left
for reflections on self. Iu times of great
danger, too, bo said that bo had always
found Christian men truest and most relia
ble "In concluding, he stated that be believed
that tho army bud effected two creat results
in this country, the breaking the bonds of
oppression apd tue securing universal liberty
throughout the land. Therefore lie beaougbt
the people never to forget that army, but to
strive to make it a body of Christian officers
aud men, and a glory and ornament of the
nation."
Soiiuyi.kii Colfax said in 18G1 :
I will lay down three facts hero, the truths
of which no man, be be Democratic editor
or orator, will dare to challenge :

Third. The Administraion which was in
power when the relellion broke out, which
could by prompt and vigorous measures
have crushed it out in its infuuey, as Jack
son crushed out nullification and trcasou
in South Carolina thirty years ago ; that
Administration which looked on with closed
eyes and ears, allowing the rebellion to go
on, and doing not oue thing to save the
Union from destruction, was in all parts
Democratic. And further : Every niau who

The Domocratio press is buisy, after tbe

An Im Jdout lu ltr.nl Ul'o.
A Western paper says an excitement lias
been created iu Northern Illinois lately.
Some time since a lovely and highly educa
ted daughter of a clergyman in Albany.N. Y.,
disappeared from her home, and no traco of
hor could be found. A friend of the family
atQuincy, III., when Yankee Robinson's
circus was exhibiting there, discovered the
girl in the ballet troupe of tbo circus, going
through tho evolutions of LuuUih. 1 lie
gentleman immediately telegraphed to the
girl's father, who came on, met tho circus
company in another town, and found that
his daughter was really thero. He disco
vered, also, that the girl, who had been at
boarding school, bad becomo infatuated
with the tinsel of a circus ring rider, had
eloped with and married him, and gone with
nun upon tho stage lor a living.
J he father met the daughter and entrea
ted her to leave the troupe and go borne
witli luni, promising that all should :e for
given. The girl readily consented if her
hnsbaud could go with her, but one of tho
provisions was that she should leave him.
This die refused to do, preferring to cling
lo ner nuaimiKl and the stngo rutuer than
enjoy the comforts of a home in Albany.
mo uistress of too lather was not sulhcieut
to overcome his prejudices against tbe litis
tmnd.as his tears and entreaties were unavail
ing, ho was forced to leave his daughter in
the exciting life she had chosen, and return
sorrowfully home.
Mr. Rolunson pictured the girl the vicissi
tudes of the life she was leading, and adviB
cd her to follow the advice of her father,
but she persistently refused, declaring that
nothing would induce her to desert her hns
baud. She is described as a girl of striking
beauty, not yet twenty years of ngc, very
modest iu her demeanor, but Completely
full of the rnmanco of life, and infatuated
with the choap dazzlo of tho ring. Her
husband is a youug man of sober and in
dustrious habits, and -an excellent perfor
mer. Ladies nt places where the circus has
been have as vainly as the father sought to
turn tho young wife from tho life sho has
chosen.
A Chicago newspaper tells the following
story, which may serve to point many a
political moral in the present campaign.
Thirty or thirty-five years ago tbo cunal
which uow serves Washington City as a
sewer was not the mud-hole it has becomo
of late years. It was a favorite batbing
placc for boys, particularly the smaller ones,
who did not venture to go to the river. On
one of these occasions, when Frank and ono
or two other of the Blairs were present, a
little fellow in advance of tho others, picked
up a shirt from the pile of clothing anil begun
to dress. As the boy was a very little oue,
and the opportunity to show tho power of
a uiair was too good to be lost, Frank
snatched the elnrt from the child and threw
it overboard. Tbo outcry at so mean au act
ho answered with laughter, for his big
brothers stood by him. Tho shirt not
sinking so fast as he wished, ho threw chunks
o! mud and ctones upon it, until the over
freighted garment went down. Frank
laughed long and loud ; tho little boy cried ;
t ranlt, as a punishment tor not accepting
as an honor the notice taken of the garment
by the Blairs, threw additional weights upon
the sunken shirt. By this time all except
tho Blairs had dressed themselves, aud the
pile of unchanged clothes was reduced to
those belonging to them, and the lad celec
ted as a victim. The Blairs had enjoyed
their pustinic.dancing in aboriginal costume,
but turned now to their own clothes. One
of their shirts was missing. The supposed
victim had found his own garment and
escaped to a safe distance. Terrible was
the profanity and wild the wrath when the
truth became apparent that Frank Blair hail
thrown his owu shirt overboard, and had
sunk it irrecoverably. The littlo boy whose
shirt ho sank in the Washington Caual is a
delegate to the Tsnnnany Convention, and
ho at least will recall the incident we have
related, and lnimh nt Gen. Blair's blunder
ing persistency in sinking the wrong shirt.
Watch Y'odu Clotues Lines. A number
of Democratic papers, in commenting upon
tlie iiiuir shirt story, recently published in
tho Republican papers, said : "Keep cool,
gentlemen, Seymour and Blair will take
your shirts off "for you in November beauti
fully." A Republican paper thinks this a
friendly admonition to tbe Union men to
watch their clothes lines.
Tub Reason. A daily Democratic news
paper wants to know why Geo. Grunt in
early life "apprenticed himself to tho tan
ner's trade." We suppose it was from a
desire to make an honest living. This may
not be satisfactory to said daily, who mani
festly feels sore that one who has been "only
a mechanic" should be placed in opposition
to the aristocratic Seymour in a contest for
the Presidency. Next November, however,
will show those who despise mechanics bow
proficient Grant is in t'.ie trade he followed
so successfully at Galena and during tbo
rebellion. Tanning is his forte.

similar directions for prpeerving herbs fot

"Herbs for drying for luturo use should
be cut just about the time they are coming
into flower. Dry them in the shade, and
after eullicieutly dry to put away, tio thcoi
in buuebes and bang in a cool abed, or placo

I send you inr ways of disoosinz of tbo
Tomato, which I call tho vegetable of veget
ables. If any of your housekeepers can add
to or improve tins list 1 trust they will do
so. I am by no means prejudiced in my
own mode ot doing things, and it 1 can aid
any one in using the tomato in many ways
to advantage I shall be content.
6TEWED TOMATOES.
I shall say nothing about stewing toma
toes, as it is to be presumed that everybody
knows how. One thing, however, should
bo remembered that nothing should be
mixed with the pure article, which should
puss through a sieve or colander bofore
sent to tbe table.
TOMATO CAT81T.
Take ripe tomatoes and scald them just
sufficient to allow you to take off the skin ;
then let them stand for a day. covered with
salt; strain them thoroughly, to remove the
seeds Then to every two quarts, ttdd three
ounces of cloves, two of black pepper, two
nutmegs, and a very little Cayenne pepper,
with a little salt. Boil the liquor for half
an hour, and then let it cool and settle.
Add a pint of the best cider vinegar, after
which bottle it, corking and sealing it light
ly. Keep it always in a cool place.
ANOTHEn Way. Tuke one bushel of to
matoes, and boil them until thev are soft.
Squeeze tbem through a fine wire seive, and
add half a callou of vinecar. one pint and
a half of salt, two ounces of cloves, quarter
of a pound ot allspice, two ounces of Ca
yenne pepper, threo tablespoonfulls of black
pepper, five heads of garlic, skinned and
separated. Mix together, and boil about
three hours, or until reduced to about ouo
half. Then bottle without straining.
TOMATO OMELETS.
Beat sit eggs, mix two tablespoonfulls of
flour in a little water and add some salt and
pepper ; peal and chop very fine four toma
toes, stir this all together. Put a bit cf
butter half the bizo of an egg into a frying
pan, heat it hot, turn on the mixture stir
ring it all the time until it begins to thick
en, then let it stand to brown three minutes ;
lap it half over; snp it on a dish, and send
it to the table very hot.
TICKLED TOMATOES.
Alwars use those which aro thoroughly
ripe. The small round ones are decidedly
the best. Do not prick them, as most re
ceipt books direct. Let them lie in strong
brine three or lour days, then put them
down in layers in your jars, mixing with
thorn small onions, and pieces of horse
radish ; then pour on the vinegar (cold,)
which should be first spiced as for peppers;
lot there be a spice bag to throw into every
pot. Cover them carefully, and set them
by in tho cellar for a full month before
using.
Another Wat. Take small, smooth to
matoes, not very ripe ; scald tbem until the
skin will slip off easily, and sprinkle salt
over them. After they have stood twenty
four hours, drain off the juice, and pour on
a boiling hot picklo, com posed of one pound
of sugar to every quart of vinegar, and two
tablespoonfulls, each, of cinnamon and
cloves. Drain off the liquid, scald it, and
pour it on them strain, every two days for a
week, and they will require no further care.
TOMATOES IN A NEW FASIIIO!.
As tomato season will soon be here, the
following method of preparing them for the
table, we aro assured by one who has made
tho experiment, is superior to anything yet
discovered for the preparation of that excel
lent article: Take good ripe tomatoes, cut
them in slices, and sprinkle over them fiue
ly pulverized white sugar, then add claret
wine sufficient to cover them. Tomatoes
are sometimes prepared in this way with
diluted vinegar, but the claret wine imparts
to thorn a richer and more pleasant flavor,
more nearly resembling tho strawberry than
anything else.
BOW TO MARK TOMATO FIOS.
Tour boiling water over the tomatoes in
order to remove the skins ; then weigh them
and place them in a stone jar, with as much
suar as you have tomatoes, and let them,
stand two days; then pour offthe syrup.and
boil and skim it until no scum rises. Then
pour it over the tomatoes, snd let tbem
stand two days, as before, then boil aud
skim again. After the third time, they are
fit to dry. If the weather is good ; if not let
tbem stand in tbe syrup until dryiug weath
er. Then place on large earthen plates or
dishes, and put them in the sun to dry.
which will take a'oout a week, after which
pack them down in small wooden boxes,
with fine white sugar between each layer.
Tomatoes prepared in this manner will keep
for years.
TOMATO PRESERVE.
Take tbe round yellow variety as soon as
ripe, scald and peel ; then to seven pounds
of tomatoes add seven pounds of white su
gar, and let tbem stand over night. Take
the tomatoes out of tbe augar, and boil the
syiup, removing tba scum. Put in tbe to
mattes, and boil gautly fifteen or twenty
minutes; remove tbe fruit again and boll
until the syrup thickens. On cooling put
the fruit into jars and pour tbe syrup over
it, and add a few slices of leuiou to each
jar, aud you will have something to please
tbe taste cf the rr.cn fuudiouk.
