WORTH REMEMBERING.

We have been informed, by a gen.
tleman who had practical proof Of iss
successor new mode Of keeping fruits
fresh for the table; as grapes, plums,
&c. long time after they have been
gathered. 1t is simply to alternate
them in layers with cotton. batting, In
clean stone jars, and to place them in
chamber secure from frost. The dis
covery was accidental. A servant in
the family Of William Morey, of Union
Village, Washington county, about to
visit her friends, secured quantity Of
plums ia this way, to preserve them
until her return. They were found to
have kept in excellent condition, long
after this fruit had disappeared 10 the
garden. From the hint thus afforded,
Mr.. Morey, Mr.. Holmes. and one or
Two neighbors, laid down grapes in
this manner last fall, aud they enjoy
ed the luxury Of fresh, fac fruit thro'
the winter, until the early part Of
March. Es.9
To preserve tomatoes jres& through
the winter, pack them in jars, laying
alternately layer Of dry sand, and a
layer OF tomatos, until the vessel is full.
Cover them up tight TO keep the air
out, and place them in dry cellar.--
In this way you can have tomatoes
nearly the year round.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES The Barn.
stable Journal says that child six years
old, who was in the habit of playing a.
bout the house. situated in the woods at
West Harwich, was heard to utter some
distressing wailings and cries, which
gradually ceased until they became al
most extinct. On going TO the child it
was found that black snake two and a
half feet in length had wound itself a.
round the .chlld's neck and nearly suffo-
Gated 1t. In removing the snake, it was
found SO closely cntwined that the skin
was also removed.-The child, however,
recovered.
