n@- The following recipe for making
apple jelly we find "in the papers, Take
apples ofthe best quality and good favor,
(not sweet) cut themin quarters or slices,
and stew them till soft; then strain out
the juice, being very careful not to let
any ofthe pulp go through the strainer.
Boil it to the consistency of molasses, then
weigh it and add as many pounds of crush
ed sugar. stirring it constantly until the
sugar is dissolved. Add one ounce of ex-
tract of lemon to every twenty pounds of
Jelly, and when cold set it away in jars.
1t will keep good for years Those who
have not made jelly in this way, will do
well to try it. They will ind it superior
to currant ielly."

The N. Y. Times of Saturday, referring to
the state of the wounded by the late railroad
calamity on the Camden and Amboy R abroad,
says:
''Mr. John F Gillespie. of Natchez, NJ IS +,
had his lefs leg amputated and the right foot Ia
ken off. II position is regarded very cr,I-
cal We learn that he has made his will, where
in he dsposes OF property to the amount Of
5000 600. and di' ects that in ease of his death,
that of his wife, the Railroad Company be
prosecuted to the last cent of bis fortune -
The latter portion of this statement IS contra
dced by the N. Y. Tribune. W. are Informed
BY telegraph that Mr.. Gillespie has since died
Including this gentleman, twenty-three of the
victims of the disaster are dead, and about sew
eny wounded more or less severely. IL the
friends of the deceased and injured passengers
should all prosecute the company FOR damages,
they will have to pay pretty dearly for their
past disregard of the lives aud interests of the
public
The N. Y. Tribune TINS sums up the circum-
Stances of the case:
l. Though the road is one of the greatest and
most profitable tho oughfares in The country, it
has but single track. This is owing 10 the
corrupt monopoly system maintained By the
Stale of New Jersey in defiance Of her own in
terest and the public welfare, and to the de-
s,ruc,ion of her good name. Had there been
two tracks this dreadful event would not have
happened.
2. The highway across the railroad was nei-
Their carried over on bridge, nor protec ed by
suitable gates with proper attendants to Preve"t
carriages from going upon the track except
when absolutely safe Had these safeguards ex-
sted we should no. now deplore this sickening
calamity.
g. The conductor saw the danger and tired
TO stop the train--which, our re ders will re-
member, was running backward -bpt the oell-
rope was out Of oder, so that he could not ring
the bell. But for the arrangement of this APP
paraias the calamity might possibly have been
avoided
4. The train was running backward al an ex-
traordinary and inilstifiable rate Of speed, con
sidering that the engineer could no: see any OBJ
STAGE on the track Had proper prudence been
observed i1ihs respect many families would not
now be mourning the dead Of that awful catss-
trophe.
S The tain was out OF its time. Hal il
been run according to the regulations of the
road there woHld have been no su.h slaughter
These are tbefaets which form The chaf aeter
of This whole affair. They appear to Us 10
show conclns,yety that The Cam en- and Amboy
Company are peeun.arliy resi- oDsihie TO tie
| sufferers, and that the conductor and engineer
are criminally responsible To the pubic IN
any other country than tlis, and We bad a most
written in any other state Than New Jersey,
| they would az oncs be arrested and tried for
J murder.

A Hard Nut for President Pierce.

President Pierce removed Cow Reeder be-
cause The latter resisted the demands of Atchi-
son and S,rinsfellow's mob Legislature He
had not the courage, however to state the real
ranse of the removal, so he had it given out
that ReedeT was removed because he bad engag-
ed in land speculation The Nebraska News,
edited by J Ste,llng Morton. late of the Detroit
Free Press. places the Pre- ident IN dilemma,
BY the following:
The Kansas papers come to us full of reloic-
ings, because Reeier has ceased 10 he their Gov
ernor. We understand that hrs specuiatinns in
Indian lands were the cause of his removal
II such be the fact, and if the present Ad-
mfntstrstlon has BEGUN the work for such csus-
es. we rejoice with them, and task their PRAYERS
In behal." of this people for the removal of the
specializing official who organized this Terr:to-
~, whose acts when compared with those of
Reeder will render the latter glorious, and make
sheep sealing appear magnaaimo,,s
The people of Nebraska have petitiened all
together for his removal, with PRAYER and
will, which onghtio have been heard; but az
vet. the sasicuiars OF the Presiden, have proven
deaf.
What will the President dos Nothing of
course, unless / can be shown that the Govern
or Of Nebraska has attempted to /, wait the de
signs Of the Slavery exiensi onisss, in which
events he would be removed sammarilv enough
