present to our fair readers receipt for
making these famous cakes doubly de-
licious: e1
To three pounds ofbuckwheat meal
odd one pound of good oat meal-mix
and bake in the usual way. This will
greatly improve the cakes in more than
one quality; but by adding both oat
and barley meal. the cakes will be
good enough for the most lovely, intelii-

most deserving being on earth. We
speak from experience about the cakes,
and can assure those who will try ore
or both of the additional meals, that
they will acknowledge US correct.

forms the Hartford Times that in taking
up Il fence which had been set four
teen years, he noticed that some of the
posts remained nearly sound. while
others were rotted off at the bottom.-
On looking for the cause, he found that
those posts that were set limb part down,
or inverted from the way they grew,
were sound. Those that were set as
they grew, were rotted off The fact
is worthy the attention OF the farmers.

Jenny Liud's Second Concert.

The genius Of this Queen Of Song appears
to defy, or disarm, criticism. The N, Y. Com
n,crcial Advertiser, staid and highly respec
table old Journal, which is usually d" nothing
unless it is critical" thus Internationally sur
renders:
1t is no part Of our intention to prepare a
critique upon the performance. This second
he airing only more fully establishes our former
conviction Of cur utter inability to discharge
such a task with satisfaction either to ourselves
or to our readers. We will leave the dry dis
cussion Of musical technicalitics, and the gath.
ering together of technical terms to those who
have made the science Of music their study, or
who would ian make others believe that such
| is the case.
1t is honestly confessed therefore, that we
are unable to decide whether the songstrcss' S
voice is too thick " or TOO "thin whether
! it is better ada pted to the andante' or the
" allegory." These knotty questions we leave
musicians to unite We can only speak OF
the effect upon our own feelings, and this may
be briefly expressed by saying that as we lis
tened to the strains of the iairy-like music, the
singer became to us the very representation Of
our conception of melody itself. Were we to
60 at large into an analyzation of our feelings
we should expose ourself to the imputation o.
having forgotten the dictates of sober Judgment
in the promptings al a wild enthusiasm.
A friend and townsman, recently returned
from New York, where he heard JENNY LINZ
(whom some papers speak of as Mss Lind :
we should as soon think Of saying Miss En-
terpe , says that the attempt to speak learned!
and with technical exactness Of her singing il
simply absurd. Musical laws are made from
nor for, sucha voice Our informant says that
unless you are loohing nj her while she sings
you cannot believe that the pure, rich, traspa
rent, pcryadiny melody proceeds from beini

of the earth as they werc) like a pair Of subter-

North Shovcl backed out, however, and the
other continues soberly and patiently to work

powerful machines have attracted crowds Of
visitors, all summer.
Through the lower part Of the Town, the
grading Of the road is pretty much completed.
and we see nothing to prevent the permanent
