A country editor is giving boots to a
rival town, and among other saucy things,
says that : it takes several of their pigs to
pull blade Of grass and they are so poor
that the foremost seizes the spear in
his mouth, the balance having taken each
other by the tail, when they all give pull,
strong pull, and pull all together, and
if it breaks, the whole tumble 10 the ground
for want of sufficient strength to support
them. 1t takes three or four TO make a

CIDER


Mr.. FREAs i am aware that many of
! the readers of your valuable paper, are in
I the habit OF making their own cider. 1t
is very wholesome and refreshing bevcr-
age, and is always Of much value on the
farm for culinary purposes but good cider
IS rare article, indeed, in these DAYS.
Old William Penn, among many other iesti-
monials Of his superior sa gaciiy and wis
dom, has left the apolhegm that c!eanli-
ness Is near OF kin to godIiness : and in
my opinion one great reason why so much
poor cider is made is. that cleanliness is
altogether disregarded in the making of it.
True, working purges off much Of the i'll
purity OF The liquor, yet any one who ex-
amlnes the sedmCntary matter in the bar
rels from which cider has been slowly rack
ed or drawn of, will need no argument to
convince them fermentation does not wholly
purify IT, 1t is this sedmentary deposit
which causes the liquor TO grow hard, and
have that singularly Disgusting and nav
klsh flavor which it so generally acquires
after II IS one or two Years, and sometimes
even few months old.
In making cider, imperfect fruit should
always be rejected as unsuitable Water
should be freely used in cleansing all the
utensils previous to commencing, and the
apples should be exposed for dav or two
to the sun before they are passed through
the mill. The straw used, should be per-
iectIy bright, clean and free from mildew,
rust or mould. Before filing your casks,
put in a few gallons of cider, and burn
clean rag that has been dipped in melted
birthstone in the bunghole. The rag NAV
be one foot long, and an inch or an inch and
half wide. If the cask is larger than a
common thirty gallon barrel, the quantity
OF cider and size Of the rag should be pro-
portonally increased. When the rag is
consumed, shake the cask well. and Gil it
up. The finer your strainers are. the less
sediment there will be, and in this Dartic-
ular 1t is scarcely possible to exercise too
much care.
From the common crab apple, cider al
most as delicious as the best wines NAV be
made.
Good cider will long continue TO be
favorite beverage in this country, and those
who possess the art Of manufacturing il,
will find that few products will be more
certain to sell or bring a more remunera-
ting price in the market. But poor cider
is not saleable, and will rarely repay the
trouble and expense of making it.

Oh. come to me, and bring with thee
The sunny smiles of former years,
If smiles so bright will lend their light,
To cheer a brow long us'd to tears;
l viii not lend one sad regret,
One gloomy thought our meeting chill,
But, for thy sake, I'll strive to make
This altered cheek look cheerful still.
Then come to me-our theme shall be,
The friends we loy'd, not those we mourn
We II not destroy present JOY,
Lamenting joys that ne'er return
The ardent rays of early days,
And boyhood's bloom, we ne'er may see
But days Of bright and pure delight,
May lie III store,-then come to me.

The eloquent speech Of Senator Stockton against
the brutal exercise of petty power in the navy,
remarks the Trenton .sTrue American, - has deep
ly impressed the miud of the country with the
necessity of reform. The abolition of the fog
ging process is but the beginning of the needed
reformation. The whole practice of condemning
men without hearing, without trial. evidence,
or notice of complaint, seems monstrous. Upon
land there is nothing like it, among civilized or
barbarous nations; and why justice, either in
form or spirit, should be excluded from the deck
of national ship, we are at loss to imagine.
The first editorial approbatory of the fogging
system that we have met with is contained in the
Norfolk " Beacon" of the 28th ult.

The 6 Family Presbyterian" published at New
Berlin, Pennsylvania, quotes, as il tells us, from
the " Shepherd of the Valley" a Roman Catholic
paper published at St. Louis, the following ex-
tracts:
"If the Catholics ever gain-which they surely
will do, though at distant day-an immense
numerical superiority, religious freedom in this
country is at an end So say our enemies. So
we believe.
"We have said that we are not the advocate
of religious freedom and we repeat it, we are
not. The liberty to believe contrary to the
teachings of the Church, is the liberty to believe
lie; the liberty to think otherwise than as she
permits, is the liberty to abuse the mind and
pollute the imagination; from such liberty may
we and those we love at all times be preserved, /"
Is there not some mistake about this? We
hone so.

We have heard The propriety Of the marriage Of
mutes questioned, on the ground that their defects
were likely to be transmitted to their offspring.
The Rev. J. d. Tyler, Principal of the Deaf Mute
Department of the Virginia Institution, states, in
his last interesting report that own country is
the only one in which this question has ap-
preached solution. Two hundred educated deaf
mutes assembled in Hartford, Conn, Sept. %,
1850 OF these, 103 were married, some quite
recently. Seyenty-two were parents, the parents
of 102 children, niety-eight of whom can hear and
speak. Instances are given of parents, both
deaf from birth, having children able to hear and
sneak.
