This difference in TIE oats is attribute

Peaches for Drying.

IA female friend, who is thorough
practical horticulturalist, has kindly fur
nished the following useful notice, which,
like every thing else from her pen, is the
result Of more than ordinary Judgment
and experience.
Having been in the practice Of drying
large quantities Of fruit for family use, |
have been led to observe which kinds
yield the greatest proportion, from a
given amount Of fresh fruit. find the
kenrick's Heath, is by far the most pro-
ductive variety for this purpose. 1t is a
large green feshed peach, ripening the
last OF 9th mo; (Sept.) with US, combin-
ing every desirable quality. In the au-
tumn of 1850, three bushels Of fresh pea
ches, produced half a bushel of dried
ones. Five bushels Of apples, | think.
is what we allow TO make one of dried
fruit. Then, the labor is not more than
halt as great, to prepare the peach, as it
is the appe--no cosing is necessary
only pare it; split it in two, sndlay them
on boards, in the oven after taking out
the bread; leave the door open to per-
init the moisture to evaporate, and in
two days they will be ready to put away.
This has been my experience tor two
seasons past. So highly do esteem
this variety, that have budded several
hundreds, with the intention of planting
an entire orchard Of them. They are
even more profitable than the apple, and
come much sooner into bearing.

TOMATOES. We ate some very fine
Tomatoes not long since which were
dried in the following manner. The
fruit was taken when fully ripe, and scald-
ed then strained through seive, and
alter slowly cooking over the fire for
half an hour, it was spread on clean
plates and dried in an oven, the whole
process requiring but about two days be-
for the fruit was ready to pack away.
Tomatoes may be kept very fresh by
taking them when fully ripe, and put
ting them in a tin can capable of being
Theoretically sealed. Leave the can
open and place it in kettle of boiling
water keep the rim above the surface OF
the water till the whole is scalded
through. Add little salt, and then seal
closely. Tomatoes thus kept are said
to open in the $ pring as fresh as they
were wien shaded. Try it aud see.

DEATH OF AN ONoNDAGA WARRIOR
Peter Sky, one of the warrior Chiefs Of
the Onondagas, died at Onondaga Castle
on the 18th instant, aged IS years.
The Syracuse Star says:
The deceased was a true and faithful
friend of the United States, and in the
war of 1Sl2, when Gen. Porter called
for volunteers to protect the Niagara
frontier, the Onondaga Chiefs and War
riors were among the first TO answer the
call. They sustained the whole front Of
the battle at Chippeway, under their
gallant but unfortunate Chief, La Fort,
who was killed in action, while the sub
iect of this notice received severe and
dangerous wound, for which he has since
drawn a pension from Government"
Put any man in a situation where he
is called to make a sacrifice of his own
comfort end ease, without any equiva-
lent in return, and you will learn the
difference between true polteness, hat
sterling ore of the heart, and the conn-
terfeit imitation Of it which passes cur
rent in drawing rooms.
In everything throughneSs is highly
essential and one great reason, in my
opinion, why so many poor crops har-
vested, is, the details are not properly
performed in anything pertaining to
their work. System is no less essential
in the field, than in the counting-room
or in the study. Tony farming friends,
therefore, permit me to say-do all
things thoroughly.-.Napes.

Fire in Cincinnati.

About half past IL o'clock, on Thursday
night q fire broke out in the backing man
ufactury of Messrs. Butler & Brother, in
Deer Creek Valley. The fremen were un-
able to operate to advantage, owing to the
scarcity of water. A dry house, and an ex-
tensive lard establishment of Mr.. Wilson
and with their contents were destroyed
The flames then extended to the ham pack
ing establishment of Shooley & Hough
thence to the morocco factory Of Mr.. Rob
erts thence to three small frame dwellings
occupied by several families; all of which
were destroyed.
Messrs. Shooley & Hough's loss will
amount to about 1926, ,000-mostly covered
by insurance. Mr.. Wilson's loss about the
same. He has no insurance whatever, ant
this is the second misfortune of the kind ht
has suffered. The loss of Butler & Brothe
is about $4,000, half insured.
Messrs. Evans & Swift had a large quap
tity of Pork stored in Wilson's building
which, together with SO hhds. Hams, wa
mostly destroyed.
Several persons were arrested for stealth
hams, during the fire; and nearly all tina
had been saved were stolen.
