MINT

Mint should be cut for drying, says Phil
lips just when it lis in flower, and on fine
day; for if cut in damp weather. the leaves
will turn black. 1t should be tied in small
punches, and dried in a shady place out of
the wind, but to retain its natural virtues
more effectually, it has been found better to
place the mint in screen, and to dry it
quickly before fire, so that it may be pow
dered and Immediately put into glass bot
sles and kept well stopped. Parsley, thyme,
sage, and other herbs, retain their full fra
GRANGE when thus prepared. and are by this
mode secured from dust, and always ready
TO the hand of the cook.
A conserve made of mint is grateful, and
she distilled waters, both simple and spiritu-
Gus, are much esteemed. The juice Of spear
mint drank in vinegar often stops the hic-
cups. Lewis observes what Plny has be-
fore observed, that mint prevents the coag-
ulation Of milk, and hence is recommended
in milk diets. When dry, and digested IN
rectifed spirits of wine, it gives out tinc-
ture which appears by daylight of fine dark
green, but by candle light Of bright red
olour; small quantity is green BY day light
or candle light; large quantity seems i'm.
pcrvious to daylight, but when held between
the eye and the candle, OF between the eye
and the sun it appears red If put INTO fiat
bottle it appears green sidewise; but when
viewed edgewise, red.

To the Editor ofthe IVilmingtonian.
In your last Number, an additional lo7y
and scurrilous publication has appeared "a
gainst me. from the famous would-be Irus-
tees Of St. Peters Church, backed by the
certificate of Patrick Higgins, and the after
piece of the notorious Quack Doctor, OF or
ho8sun1 memory. That shameful production,
fraught with the most glaring falsehoods, is
degrading, and unworthy the character OF
any Trustees, and which, as a member,
much regret.
have turned those "Trustess" over to
the legal authority who have no doubt will
duly appreciate their wants, and do them
that justice their infamous deeds deserve.
My statement, by way of reply, in your
former paper, is substantially correct; and
have been, and am ready and willingt to settle
on Just and equitable terms with the church,
with any men selected who are not devoid Of
principle, but l never can condescend to
men so destitute of every principle that cha
racterizes the individuals who have so wan
tonly assailed my character.
With respect to the certificate of Patrick,
it is bundle of absurdites worthy the au-
thor He says he has known me for TWEEN
ty-6vc years, (it is true, and the only truth
he has asserted,): he has known me, and !
! have well known him to my sorrow. he eau
advert to the time and well remember, who
\ first started him in Thoroughfare Neck, and
who it was that was the loser thereby byhisir-
regular svays. and who afterwards helped
him back to Wilmington, and aided him when
without friends, or money to pay his debts or
subsist upon, and from motives of charity
gave him employ when not worth penny
Ask and reflect, does it argue well for Pat
rick to sting the hand of his 6enefactor, sad
der like" that hand which nourished and
sustained him?
Next. in order, would notice the knight
of the Bolus whose stupidity is only equalled
by his impudence in bringing into view the
name of my friend Of the city of Lancaster
whom he had induced to suppose that he
was man OF reputAtion," and had decoyed
to his residence; which, when by me dis
ccrned, for the safety Of his character anc
person called for, considering him unsafe

INCISION IN FRUIT TREES.

Loudon states, that incisions are some
times necessary to the health of the tree,
in the same manner perhaps as bleeding is
necessary for the health of the animal. The
trunk of the plum and cherry tree seldom
expand freely till longitudinal incision has
been made in the bark; and hence this OPP
Grafton is often practised by gardeners. If
she incision affects the epidermis [out side
bark only, it heals up without leaving a
scar; if it penetrates into the wood, the
wound in the wood itself never heals up com
pletely, but new wood and bark are formed
above it as before.
