How to Onik tb Christmas Tcbkey. A
lady who is reputed to always have "good
roast turkey." wrote out the following:
"Cnless it is badly soiled, never soak,
wash, or wet a turkey, as many do. Indeed
washing injures any kind of meats and fish,
except tbos kept in salt brine. Carefully
draw the turkey, and wipe thopjughly in
aide and out with a dry towel. It will thus
keep longer uncooked, and be better flavor
ed. If it chances to be.a tough one, steam
it an hour or two, as needed, before baking.
If one has not a steamer large enough, as
few have, it may be done in a wash boiler,
supoortiug the bird above the water on a
couple of inverted basins, or suspending it
by strings from the handles. My family
has learned to like plaiu stuffing rather
than the highly seasoned, rich, indigestible
dressing so much in vogue. I use stale
bread, chop-d fine, just moistened with
scalding mater, not to a 'mush,' and add a
little butler, t-alt, pepper, and, if desired, a
small pinch of sweet marjoram or thyme;
most like sum mer savory. After stuffing
ami sewiiiK, fasten the wiugs and legs down
closely mith skemers or by tying with
sirin
U ist in the dripping u without
wat.-r. To keep the skm from scorching
' haste now and then with a little water sea-
.! 1111 but. er and salt. Duke through
uoitorniW to a light brown, avoiding bum
nig or hardening any irt. A good oyster
stuttiug, when easily obtainable, is liked by
many as follows: Drain off most of the
liquor from the oysters, season with suffi
cient butter and peptier and roll them in
crac k r and bread cruiulis. Fill the cavity
of the turkey entirely with tlnwe."
The Xnrtk Amrrirnn' RTinr tor January
opens m iih a symposium in which three ol
the m.ist prominent advocates in this coun
try of the Revision of Church Creeds,"
namely Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth. Rev.
Henry Ward Be her, and Rev. Dr. Lyman
Abbott, set forth the grounds opon which
such revision is deemed necessary as a de
fense of revealed religion against the en
croachments of skepticism, and as an ad-
.. X
justment of the relations Detween iaun anu
science. "University Education for Wo
men." a question that just now is being
warmly agitated both here and in England,
is discussed by Prof. W. Le Conte Stevens
who, though be realously advocates the
measure, commands the attention and re
sect of its opponents by the eminent fair
ness with which he states the adverse argu
ments. Prof. Isaac L. Rice gives a " Defini
tion of liberty," deduced from a profound
ly philosophical study of the phases of
political evolution, from the earliest Anglo
Saxon times to the present day. "American
K11glu.l1." by Gilbert M. Tucker, is a spirited
defense of our cis-Atlantic fashion of Eng
lish sje-ch against the aspersions of sundry
British critics. The Rev. Dr. II. W.Thomas
writes an article that can hardly fail to strike
a sympathetic chord in many a mind, on
"The Eoponsibililies of Progressive Think
ers." -Bigotry in the Medical Profession,"
by Dr. David Hunt, is a protest, from the
pen of a resisted member of the medical
profession, against the First Commandment
of medical ethics, which forbids association,
with aiiA- but regular practitioners. Fiuaily,
Charles' T. Cotiplou, under the singularly
ai title of "Adulteration of Intelligence,"
expose some of the grave evils to be appre
hended from tbe monopolization of tele
graph lines, press associations, and inffueu

Histobt op Bedfomp and Somerset Cofti
ties. Since the organization of Somerset
county it is most" astonishing to note the
great changes that have been wrought on
tbe face of nature by the intelligent labor
lerforuied by all industrious and progres
sive jieople. The almost impenetrable for-
1 esis hae been he. 11 down and in their
! j.;ace can be found fine farms and farm
i buildings and many little busy marts of
I trade. Streams that were wont to be ford
ed bave been bridged and in the place of the
Indian migwams can he found comforta hie
houses and many church spires pointing
upward. Aside from attending to their pri
vate affairs our people have ever taken a
prominent part in State and national affairs
and have well sustained their position
During the war f the rebellion they nobly
responded to our country's call, and many a
brave man laid down his life in behalf of
his country, 'n fact they have been pro
gressive and kept up with the wonderful
progress made by the world in the last cen
tury. The question now presents itself as to
whether the people of this county, from the
first adventuresome frontiersman who pen
etrated the wilderness and established a
home for himself and family, down to the
present time shall have their deeds recorded
in imperishable history, and honor accord
ed thee to whom honor Is due. Whethe r
those who have bv.patient toil and industry
brought our county to its present high state
of productiveness and those who bave serv
ed in township, county, State or national
affairs, whether dead or living, shall have
their names and deeds appropriately record
ed on the pages of history. As has been
announced, the publishing house of Water
man, Watkins A Co., proposes publishing
an elegant history of our couty, including
Bedford, and we trust that our people will
consult their own interests and patronize
them liberally that the work may go for
ward This should be neglected no longer,
and it behooves us all to interest ourselves
in the matter, and to furnish all the infor
mation and assistance we can. The history
of our soldiers alone, which will be embod
ied in the work, were there no other consid
eration. should be sufficient incentive to
cause us to give the projeet our nniversal
support. A former issue contained an out
line prospectus of the proposed work, which
is worthy of careful tirrusal.
