How TO HAVE Coon CoFFEE.-Duc regard be-
ing paid to the quality of coffee, Old Government
Java being the best to be found in our Western
markets, the next thing to be done, is to pick it
over carefully; after which it should be washed
and dried. Then roast it-bcing careful that the
kernels are equally Drowned, to a deep chestnut
color, and not burned, as that destroys the life of
coffee, giving it bitter and disagreeable taste.-
Grind it not too fine then break an egg into it,
and stir till the particles ADHERE then turn it into
the pot of boiling water, and let it boil twenty or
thirty minutes. After taking it from the stove,
turn into it few spoonsful Of cold water, to set
tie it.. This with sugar and cream, has no bad
taste in it, and is fit for king or what is bet
ter, for the people of Ohio, or any other class of
honest people, Ohio Farmer.
onJrcrs OF CIARIrr.-A poor man, who re-
sided in Carroll county, Arkansas, died
children pennyless. Shortly afterwards, seven
of the children took sick and died, leaving
only four remaining. All the property they
possessed in the world, was an old horse.---
The mother placed her two youngest children on
the horse, taking the two eldest by the hands land
started for Washington county, Illinois, without
q cent of money and almost destitute of clothing.
For six weeks have they journeyed through frost
and snow, begging for lodging and victuals, and
at many places both were refused them, till Thurs
day morning, when they reached this city. They
were all barefooted and their clothes hanging a
round their persons almost in rags. They had
travelled nearly three hundred miles. Some one

THIRTEEN PERSONS DEAD IN ALLEGHANY
CITY FROM EXPOSURE TO THE COLD AND
STARVATION.
This is startling caption, reader, and yet it is,
Our readers will remember an account we
gave some days since, of the terrible condition of
several families of Germans who arrived here
three weeks ago from Germany. We then chroni-
cled the death of three Of the children, and SUBJ
sequentiy added another to the sorrowful list It
| is now our sad duty to announce the decease of
NINE other members of those families.
| When the party left Germany, it consisted of
four men, four women, and fourteen children; in
all twenty-five persons. Two of the women died
at sea. One child was left in New York in a dy-
ing condition, and has since died. Two men, one
woman, and ten children died in Allegheny. Per-
haps of the latter number, one died in the West
ern Pennsylvania Hospital. Of that, however,
we are not certain. Thus sixteen out of twenty
two have died. Six are now living, all of whom
are still sick and one child is now in dying con-
| dition. .s sgte .e-r.ratGe i.-.. -. .t.t-
One of the children was buried on Thurs day,
and two the day before. Nearly every day, for
more than a week past, has witnessed the death of
one of these unfortunate sufferers. Is not this
horriblc2 o.t1 'i "' }"e. .
To prevent any misunderstanding with regard
to the matter, would distinctly state that these
families have been carefully attended since their
arriv val. Every possible assistance has been rem
dered them by the Ladies' Benevolent Association
| and the Guardians of the Poor of this city. The
noble hearted lady of the Association in whose
district these families were found, has been un-
firing in her efforts, and has herself bestowed
| upon them every kindness and comfort. The
Guardians of this city have also furnished them
medical attendance. The cause of this tragedy
in real life must be written down in the annals Of
Emigration. When these families arrived in New
York they scarcely covered with clothing, the
weather being intensely cold, and they without
money, they were consequently freezing and starv-
ing to death all the way from New York to this
city. Their constitutions received severer shock
than they could bear, and they fingered in agony
a few days, beyond the power of man to save
hands, prompted by generous hearts, were ready
to soothe their dying agonies, but they could not
avert the impending death. Pittsburgh Gas.
