umphanly waving DER The land Of the free and
the home of the brave" And, sir, this cup shall
be sacredy preserved, and this day always remem-
hered as the brightest and most eventful one IN the
life OF your much honored former commander.
The silver cup was manufactured by Mr.. Gal
Their, young and promising silversmith OF this
city. Il is in the form of goblet, and has a
handsome chasing of grape vine and fruit upon
its rim. On one side Of it is an engraved wreath
ofthe olive and the oak, encircling the following
inscription:
!" Presented BY the Washington Light Infantry
to john A. BLAKE, first Captain of the corps, as
testimony Of their esteem"
The company then proceeded to the grounds
where their practice in manGuverng and shooting
was continued for some time, when they marched
down the avenue to 7th street, and partook oil a
supper prepared for the occasion. Not being
among the number of those who partook Of this
feast, we must leave them to their own enjoy
ment, and our readers to conjecture what was
there done.

Cooking Potatoes. The preparation is begun
by taking sufficient quantity Of potatoes from
the cellar where thy should always be kept UNI
til this time, to last three four days week,
sprouting and washing them clean. If hepota-
toes are to be cooked for the morning they are
then taken in the evening, and if for dinner be-
fore breakfast in the morning, pared, not entire
Ily but two thirds or three-fouJths of the skin on
the outside; they are then soaked several hours
in clean cold water, which operation is said to
extract all those deleterious qualities which are
ldsagreeable both to the eye and to the taste.
Boiled in a kettle of water until about two-thirds
cooked, a large portion Of the water is turned
off, leaving the remainderto eyaporate in steam
over and through the potatoes. The result is,
that even those potatoes which are shriveled
with the lateness Of the season will come out as
mealy and fresh as the best Of potatoes when
taken ripe from the ground. farmers Monthly

The recent signs in the political horizon,
says the Burlington Free Press, are truly
suspicious and favorable to the union end
harmony Of the Wing party. in the next
Presidential campaign. In Pennsylvania,
in Virginia, and in Ohio, where some symp-
SONS of clashing opinions in reference to
candidates for the Presidency have been
manifested, the popular sentiment is rapid
" settling down INTO proper tone, ana a
determination every where exists TO ABIDE
by the candidates of the whlg national con-
venton. The recent demonstrations OF The
Globe, and other reckless organs OF the adj
misistraton, taken in connection with Mr.
Van Buren's avowals relative TO the Sub
Treasury, have operated most powerfully n
PENNSYLVANIA and Virginia in producing
union and harmony in the whig ranks
Movements are lready in progress in botl
of these states, to unite and concentrate tho
whole strength of The opposition to Mr.. Vai
Buren, upon one candidate, which are truI.
cheering and promise the most ausp'ciou
results.
