Extraordinary case of seductiou- rbduc- tlon of a Yonng Girl by a Married Man.

very remarkable case of seduction and abduc- ton, alleged tO have been committed by young man named James Van Zaadt, was recently brought before Jusace MoIntfort The accused IS charged with the seduction and abduction of Mss Pneb- eta Egbert, aged seventeen years, a very pretty and intelligent young woman, the sister of the se- ducerS wife. heSlces, aS Set forth by the father ot Miss Egbert, aud other witnesses, are fol- lows: MT. John Esbert, of No. ,j3l Leroy street. says that Van Lantt was married 10 his daughter Martha EgberJ, the 2sth of December, ls4S, and they lived together and have had one child Since that tune, it appears intimacy took place between ais yeNngsr daughter, Phebietia, and Van Zandt, and that on the 9th day of January last he lNan ZandD abducted her from his house, aud proceeded to Philadelphia, where they cohabited man and wife.
 For some tune 1t was uncertain where they had located themselves; nntll within q few days past 1t was believed they were putting up at hotel kept by Mr. B. s Gordon, at Trenton, New Jer- sey. Accordingly on this information, Justice
 Mountfort issued his warrant of arrest and officer Bumstead, on Thursday night proceeded with the mother 10 Miss Egbert to Trenton, and there at the hotel, the guilty parties were found. The officer forthwith took Van Zandt into custody, and a scene of the most affecting nature took place. The young girl, on behodng her mother, and at the se- parauon from the maa shc loved, by the officer,
 was lhr0%a into an alarming state of excitement: and as she was on the eve ot her accouchment,
 the pains of labor were brought on, and that night ] the unfortunate young girl was delivered of a daughter. The next morning Ms. Egbert remain ed with her daughter, but Van Zandt was convey
 cd 10 this city prisoner, and taken before Justice Mounttort, who committed him ta prison tD answer
 the charge. Mss Egbert dentes that Van Zandt seduced ol abducted her; she says she was the cause of all, as she loved hun before her SiStel

How to make Vinegar.

There are many great notions entertained among oHr farmers about making Wnegas The grand old plan was to put out cider or water and mOlaS- seS in caSk to the sun, and expose IL to the lu- mluary with a bottle in the bunghole, There are sull As many ideas entertained about making cider vinegar as there are about making soft soap and luck is frequently held to be the umpire who de cides whether t will be vinegar or nc vinegar.
 The reason why cider or other fluid mixtures change their nature and become vinegar, IS owing to a transformation of the particles, and then a Sepatatlon Ot one or more, and q combination of others. The oxygen ot the atmosphere, although
 t IS not now, as was once believed to be, the only scidGer, suh t IS the great one, and vinegar is iorned by the cider parting with is eafbouic acid gas, wh.ch Il cannot dowiihout absorbing oxygen. Tue reasonable way, then, to make vinegar rapid ly and surely, IS to expose the cider as much as possible to the atmosphere. The new way, and what IS supposed by msuy to be patent way, to make vinegar, IS b Jet the cider percolate over d very exposed surface This IS the way they make d in the vinegar manatact0Ty The apartment where t iS made IS freely cxS0Sed to the air. and
 IS kept at q temperature Of about 60 degrees.- The cider IS Jeff torun in small streams into troughs with bottoms full ot small holes; then frm that oFe very fine wood sLaylRgS, such as soft maple; and let tese be inliy exposed to the air. and rest

IT. From long editorial article Tn the New York Courier & Enquirer we make the following ex- tracts in regard to the late fire n San Francisco:
 We have no hesitation in expressing our con yiction that less hqa haG of fifteen millions will cover every loss.
 The probable effect of this confagration upon New York houses, is q matter of painful specula- tion. It is estimated that dve-eighths Df the loss on account of the Atlantic ports falls upon New York city. But l. must De remembered that of the S7,000.000 which we have taken as the actual loss, a portion, by no means nconsderable, IS ap- on foreign account. The immense bonded ware houses contaNed thousands ot tons of the most valuable foreign goods, all of which are undoubt- edly enumerated in the catalogue Of destruction. Some of the most valuable buildings, too, were owned by foreign capitalists, and Engiand, France, and Germany, had not few commercial houses among the doomed. Still the loss which falls up- on New York, must be very great-greater per haps than we have ever before been called upon 10 endure; and yet we have no apprehension that 1t will create any revusion here or seriously iIn- pair the standing of many, if of any, of our re- spectacle houses.
 It IS a peculiarly of California shipments that few houses have made very extensive ventures on their own account. large portion of the ship mentS have been speculative, and individuals of every class and of small means have engaged in them. Manufacturers and traders, too, have been in the habrt of shipping to the Pacific their un- saleable stocks, and thus have added largely to the Gmo.at of property which fell prey 10 the flames, without adding so largely as might at first be supposed, to their risk and responsibilities of loss Thus, while the effects of this disaster are visited upon a very large number of our citizens, the aggregate of loss is so divided and distributed that anticipate nothing of the suffering in the mercantile and monled classes, that much less destructive confagration in an Atlantic city would have rendered inevitable.
