BEETs.-No knife should ever touch beet
previous to boiling; rub the leaves off by
hand, for it there is a wound made in the
beet, the best of its Juices will be lost in the
boiling. Drop the bccts into boiling water
with handful of salt Most cooks take
bec:s from the boiling kettle and place them
in cold water for the ease with which the
skin pcels off. This should never be done
as they part with one half their flavor
When taken from the pot, let them drain
then peel and slice them, butter, pepper ant
salt them, or pour good vinegar over, which
many prefer.

amounts held by foreigners are either sup
pressed or falsifed. Illinois. which is put
down as defau!ting State. withholds the par
ticulars as to where the sufferers from her
course are chiefly to be found. Reckoning
these with other omissions the impression Of
the Times is. that instead Of the State Stock

END OF THE LEXINGTON TRIAL.

The trial Of O. b. Christian for the murder
of Cadet Blackburn, which occupied the at.
teution of the Rockbridge Circuit Court for
eleven days, has been concluded.
The case was submitted to the jury on
Tuesday the 25 ult., who, after short alb
sence returned into Court and announced
their inability to agree upon verdict when
they received instructions from the Judge,
and agaiu retired, but with no better success
1t was then agreed that the jury should be
discharged, and the case be removed to Bed
ford, to be tried at its September term.
The position Of the jury, correspondent
Of the Richmond Mail says. was two for ac-
quittal, one for short Imprisonment, treat
ing the matter as q misdemeanor, and nine
for confinement in the penitertiary for Pc
Rod not agreed upon, with an accompanying
recommendation, in the latter case, to the
Governor for pardon.
A renewed degree of interest will no doubt
be excited in September, when the whole af-
fair will again be presented to the public
Win. Rep.
