Pichles.-A correspondent of the n. E.
Farmer gives an easy and eflicacious metEs'
on of picking cucumbers, which he learned
from an old sea captain in the West Indies.
The receipt is very simple, and the superb
ority of pickles cured by its directions has
been tested by many years experience.
They are neither affected by age or climate.
The following is the receipt:
p 70 each hundred of cucumbers put pint
of salt, and pour in boiling water sufficient
to-cover the whole. Cover them tight to
prevent the steam from escaping, and in this
condition let them stand "a hours. They
are then to be taken out, and after being
wiped perfectly dry, care being taken that
the skin is not broken, placed in the jar in
which they are to be kept. Boiling vine
gar if spice is to be used it should De boiled
with the vinegar is then to be quito them,
the jar closed tight, and in fortnight deli
cious hard pickles are produced, as green as
the day they were upon the vines.

DEATH OF Rev. DR.. CHALMERs.-This
eminent minister of the christian church
died at his residence near Edinburgh, on
the night of the 30th of last month The
North-British mail of tbs 3lst, furnishes
the following particulars
The deepest CONSERVATION was spread o.
over. the city of Edinburgh this morning by
the unexpected announcement that the Rev.
DIR. Chalmers, the venerable father and lea
der OF the Free Church of Scotland, had
been discovered dead in his bed. On pros
ecuting our inquiries, we ascertainod that
the melancholy intelligence was but too true
that the Reverend Doctor, who attended
church yesterday, and had retired to bed
last night in his house at Morningside, near
Edinburgh, apparently in perfectly good
health, was discovered by his servant at an
early hour this morning sitting up in bed
dead. The legs of the body were crossed
over each other, by one ofthem being drawn
upwards to the knee of the other: and be-
twixt them basin was firmly retained,
which 1t is supposed the aged divine must
have taken into bed on experiencing the
first access of the fatal attack, from feeling
disposition to vomit, such as might be crea-
ted by any sudden apoplectic stroke, or even
by spasms. The body was quite cold
when discovered by the servant-Dr. Chal-
mers had been dead for some time.
Thus died one who has been Justly ex-
tolled as the most distinguished and able
of scottish divines. DIR. Chalmers held
both degrees of ID. ID. and LII. D.; and was
the first Presbyterian minister who obtain
ed an honorary degree from the University
of Cambridge; and one of the few Scotch
men who have been elected a corresponding
member of the Institute of France. His
collected works fill twenty-five duedecimo
volumes.
The reverend Doctor has left behind him
a widow to lament his loss, and family of,
we believe, six daughters two of whom are
married, the one to the Rev. Mr.. McKen-
zie, of Ratio; the other to the Rev. DIR.
Hanna, of Skirling, editor of the North Brit
lsh Review; and four unmarried. DIR. Chal-
mers was native of Anstruther, File;' it is
stated that he was born about the year II
80, and was consequently in his 9th year.
He studied at St. Andrews, and otficia-
ted as clergyman successfully at Wilton,
near Hawick, Kilmany, and st. Johns,
Glasgow, prior to his translation to St. An
drews' in 1923, as Professor of Moral
Philosophy in the United College. In 49,
%, he was appointed Professor of Divinity
in the University of Edinburgh, but relin-
pushed the appointment in l843, on his
secession from the established church. He
terminated his career as principal of the
New College of Edinburgh, instituted in
ls43 by the free church.
His reputation was EuDpean; he was
universally beloved as well as admired; and
will be followed to the grave by the tears of
his country and the, wsfldanse~s.
