Editor Of TINT paper. Mr.. Shaw and Chns. A.

through his paper, osked-"who is Cha's A..

that the existence of such man was only
imaginary, or al least apocryphal. This was
too mnch for Mr.. Hamlton's usually quiet
temper TO bear without becoming rufled, and
he resolved on immediate redress or retaliation.
He got his partner, Mr.. Arnold to cnll on Mr..
Shnw and ask him to retract which he refused
to do. Mr.. Hamilton then waited on Mr..
Shaw, prepared with rawhide. 10 give him n

Shaw for some time. but still ho found him

caught hold of him and brourht bin to tho

with his cudgel again. and was again subjected
TO severe drubbing.

The Gold of the Harvest.

A friend who has been travelling through
the interior Of this State. Indiana and Ohio.
laidNpon our table this morning, a little sheaf
of winter wheat, gathered from the different
fields in tho counties of Kane, VIII and Du-
page, and it is as beautiful as wc have over
seen. Ceres herself would not be ashamed to
wear plume Of It in her golden hair.
Tho kernels are as round and ripe as sum-
NOR suns can make them: tho heads full as
Natures cunning fingers could set them: and
the strawas bright as ushcrs' wands gold.
We are assured that tho specimens before
us are only fair samples of tho crop that rus
ties on our prairics. The Gold of tho Harvest
is surely crowning the labors Of tho husband
man with abundance and beauty.
Filos ofman have alrcadv gono forth into
the fields, and are cutting down

In somo sections ofthe country, thcy are al

Usa Of HominY.

II Is surprising how lttIo is known of this
excellent. healthy food; and what an cxcellcn,
substitute it is for potstoes, during tho contin-
uaiion of the disease among them, which rem
ders spmo that arc fair to the eye, unfit for
food, and all exceedingly dear. In point of
economy, as human food, one bushc of beans
or hominy Is equal to ten of potatoes. HON.
my. roo, isa dish almost universally liked as
potatoes, and at tho South about as freely
eaten. while at tho North it Is seldom seen in
fact, is an unknown food, except to a few
persons in cities. BY hominy, we do not mean
sort OF coarse meal, but grains Of white corn,
from which tho hull and chit, or cyc, has been
removed, by moistening and pounding in a
wooden mortar, leaving tho grains almost
whole, and composed of little else but starch.
1t has often been said not ono cook in ten
knows how to boil potato. Wo may add an
oshcr cipher when speaking of the simple pro-
cess OF cooking hominy. We give the form
ula fr1'i our own experiences, and from in
instructions received IL n land where shog and
hominy" are well understood:-
Wash slightly in cold water, and soak twelve
hours in tepid, soft water: then boil from three
to six hours, in same water, with plenty more
added from time to time. with great care to
prevent burning. Dent sail ,chile cooking,
as that or hard icdter will harden The corn

also. When done, add butter and salt: or a
better way is to let each one season to suit tho
taste II may be eaten with meat in lieu of
vegetables. or with sugar or syrup. 1t is good,
hot or cold, and the more frequently it is
warmed over, like the old-fashioned pot of
"I}ean porridce hot, bean porridge cold,
Bean porridge's best at nine days DID,"
So is hominy-it is good always and very
wholesome, aud, like tomatoes, only requires
to he eaen once or twice to fix the taste in its
favor.
HoMINY BREAKFAST CAKEs-Mash the cold
hominy with rolling pin, and add lttlo
flour and milk batter, so as 10 make the whole
thick enough to form into little cakes in the
hand OF it may be put upon the gridle with n
spoon. Bake brown. eat hot. and declare you
never eat anything better of the batter cake
kind.
HoMrSY PUDDrHG.-Preparo as for batter
cakes, add one egg TO each pint, some whole
cinnamon. sugar to suit tho taste, and few
raisins, and bako like rice pudding. A little
butter or chopped suet may be added. Serve
hot or cold, with or without sauce.
HoMINY AND BEANs.-Mix equal parts of
cold baked beans and hominy together, and
