Currant Wine.

The following is an excellent receipt for
making currant wine:
To one quart of ripe ourrant juice add
three pounds of the very best white sugar.
(the finer the quality the better, and to this
add as much water as will, with the juice
and sugar make gallon. Put the mixture
into a keg or dem1ohn, leaving it open for
two weeks, or until the fermentation sub
sides; then cork it up tightly, and let it re-
main quiet for five months, when it will be
fit for use and may be racked off into bot
ties,

A Few Thoughts. as they have Pre-
sented Themselves to our Mind.

IT may appear to some people, that Il il
an easy matter to write editorials, for q
weekly country paper. All to be done. is to
sit down and scratch off few lines. No
task at albany little boy could do 1t.
Now an editor Of little country p, per,
deserves the bread he eats rs richly rs any
body, and let US explain this to you. The
time was, when few lines was amply suf.
ficient. Newspapers were not numerous,
and the consequence was, that there was
not much opposition to work against

in the last five years, than any other branch
Of mechanical art. Now while We have 30
mauy papers around us, IL ,ce Of the Ledger,
folded our arms, and when the Devil called
for copy, quietly told him to let US alone, and
put in standing matter, or take some adyer-
tisements frsm the outside, and put them on
the inslce, why, our friends would desert US.
and after while, people would be astonish-
ed to hear a Ledger was published In tho
State. But about the labor Well, every
week we must write editorials. Whte---we
must write boutsomething. We must talk

THE "ISsTIrUTE" FAIR.-As the health
Of our city is evidently improving, we may
begin to look with encouraging anticipa-
tons to the approach Of the annual period
when we are accustomed to welcome our
country friends among us to participate
in the festivities and commencements of
the gala week Of November. The Exc
cutive Committees, for the annual Fair Of
the South Carolina Institute, have been
busly employed in the preparatory ar
rangements, and we are informed that
there is good prospect of brilliant dis
play on that occasion. A large temporal
ry building is in course of erection on the
Citadel Square, and ample facilities will
be afforded to those who may desire to
contribute to the Fair, specimens in any
of the various departments of useful and
ornamental industry.

Those who have not seen Mr.. Webster
may be pleased with the following descrp,
ton of his person at the age Of forty-eight
written by Lis friend, the late Colonel
Knapp, about twenty-five years ago;
The person of Mr.. Webster is singular
and commanding; his height is above the
ordinary size, but no cannot be called
tall he is broad across the chest, and
stoutly and firmly built, but there is moth
ing Of clumsiness either in his form or gait.
His head is very large, his forehead high,
with good shaped temples. He has a
large, black, solemn looking eye, that
exhibits strength and steadfastness, and
which sometimes burns, but seldom sparkle
His hais Is Of rayep black, ard both thick
and short. without the mark Of a gray
hair. His eyebrowes are of the same color,
thick and strongly marked, which give
his features the appearance Of sternness;
but the general expression of his face after
il is properly examined, is rather mild and
amiable than otherwise. His movements
ia the house and in the street, are slow
aud dienifled; there is no peculiar sweet
ness in his yoiee---its tones are rather
harsh than musical; still, there is a great
variety in them, snd some Of them catch
the ear. and chain It down to the most
perfect attention. He bears traits Of great
mental labor, but no marks of age; in
fact, his person Is more imposing now. in
his ioFty-eighth year, than it was at thirty
yesss Of aga. His manners at the bar,
and in the deliberative assembly, are Pc
orliay. Hear him, and you will say that
his eloquence Is founded on model, ancient
or modern--all Is his own--sxeelencie
and deescss. His voice has an eytfaordin-
arv compass. His emphasis belongs to
himseN alone; Il is founded on no rule, nor
can Il be reduced 20 any a -

SUDDEN AND SINGULAR DEATH.-One
Of the most sudden. and singular deaths
from fright we have ever been called upon
to chronicle, occurred at North Market
yesterday morning. 1t appears that Mrs.
Sarah Jane Bolton, in passing through
tho market dropped her pocket book, and
n woman, named King, immediately be-
hind her, picked it up. Mrs. Bolton miss
ed the book, and turned and asked Mrs.
King i she had fo"ud it, who instantly
replied that she had, and returned it TO
the owner. Mrs. Bolton opened the book,
and declared that ten dollars had been
taken out of it, which Ms. King denied.
The former insisted that she had, and
threatened her with policeman if she
diI not return it, when Mrs. King tainted
and fell at her feet. One or two police
men came up and commenced hurrying
the poOr-woman off towards the calaboosc,
but soon finding that life was nearly, if
not quite extinct they laid her down on
celler door where she soon expired. A
coroner's inquest was held soon after, and
the above facts elected. A ten dollar bill,
answering to the one Mrs. Bolton alleged
to have lost, was found in Mrs. Kings
basket. Mrs. King is said to be the wife
Of steamboatman, and the mother of
several children 81. Louis Intel. Oct. Ia.
