Dried Sweet aud Snvory Herbs,

AS the various herbs used as condiments can
not be had at all times of the year in fresh state,
means have been found of preserving their fla
vors. Drying and reducing them to powders is
one of the methods practised. The common
method of drying is to put them into paper bags,
and lay them on a shelfin the kitchen, expos
to all the fumes, steam, smoke, &C., by which
they soon lose their flavor; but the following
method is generally preferable. The substances
to be preserved should be gatherd on fine day,
at the time when they in the highest pertec-
ton. Having cleaned them we'll by separating
the leaves from the stalks, and having separated
the dirt by rubbing them with the hands over a
hair sieve, which will suffer the dust to GO
through by shaking, they are to be put into a
common oven, or Dutch oven, before the fire,
and dried quickly, but not SO as to burn.-This
method is preferable to drying them slowly by
the heat of the sun. When quite dried they are
pounded in a mortar, passed through sve, and
put into bottles well stopped; in this way pars-
ley, winter savory sweet marjoram, lemon
thyme, sweet basil, bay leaves, celery seed, lem
on peel; horse radish, mint, sage, tarragon burn
ct, mushrooms, and others Of this class, will re-
tain fragrance and flavor for several months.

THE GERMAN MUSICAL FEs71yA1,-The
Philadelphia papers give glowing accounts OF
the great German Musical Festival which took
place in that city on the 18th. At the rehearsal
at the Musical Fund Hall, there were upwards
of three hundred singers They subsequently
marched to independence Square. The Bule.
tin says:
Alta quarter to ~ o'clock p. NJ, Wolsieffer, the
well known composer of this city, stationed
himself in the midst Of the hollow space on the
AVENUE, as leader, and suddenly, at the prope,
movement of his baton, "Hail Columbia sue
ceeded by "The Star Spangled Banner" was
sung. The airs had been arranged in quartettes
by Mr. Wolsieffer, and the music, as it resounded
through the grove of the Square, was thrilling,
while the feelings which the associations of the
place called forth, were touchingly patriotic
Both airs elected the most enthusiastic applause
from the vast assemblage on the ground
BY happy coincidence, the celebration occurs
on the anniversary Of the battle of Bunker Hill,
md we felti was something to hear our Nation
Il Airs sung in such style, on such day and
in such sacred spot as the old State House
Yard. We could have wished the assembled
thousands had joined in the chorus, but there was
nothing ofthe kind

ties oLce more formed in procession, and passed
