Currant Wine.

This article, as usually manufactured,
is rather cordial than wine, and is en-
tirely inferior to the commoncst imported
wine; but when properly made, it will be
found to be very superior, heal.hlul be-
verage, particularly for GUNNER drink,
when fully diluted With water.
We have experimental carefully cn the
making Of currant wine, aad the following
will be found to give result which We
have found no difficulty in selling in large
quantities, at 81 per gallon.
Before expressing the juice from tho
currant, pass them between pair Of roll
lers to crush item, af,or which they may
be placed in strong bag, and they viii
par. with the juice readily by light pres
sure, such as common screw, heavy
weights, etc. To each quart Of juice add
three pounds Of double refined loaf sugar
single refined sugar is not sufficiently
pu.e-then add as much water as will
make one gallon. Or in other words, sup
pose the cask intended to be used to hold
80 gallons. In this put 80 quarts Of cur.
rant juice, 80 lbs. of double reGnel sugar,
and eli the cask to the bung with water;
roll it over until the sugar Is all dissolved.
This will be told by its cessirg to rattle in
the barrel. Next day roll it again, and
place it ir cellar where the temperature
will be sure to be even. Leave the bung
loose for the free admission of air. In the
coure Of one, two, or three days, termenta-
ton will commence. BY placing the car
to the bung hole, slight noise Will be
heard, such as msy be observed when car
bonic acid is escaping from champagne or
soda water. Fermentation will continue
for q few weeks, converting the sugar into
alcohol AS soon as this ceases, drive
the bung in tightly, and leave the cask for
six months, at the end Of which time the
wine may be drawn of perfectly clear,
without any excess Of sweetness.
The reason why double refined sugar
should be used, may be thus understood.
Ordinary sugar contains half of one per
cent Of gum, which when dissolved in
water, becomes fetid. Suppose, then, four
or five ounces of gum dissolved in a bar
rel of water, we can readily understand
that at the end Of a few months TIL. water
will be very foul in flavor; and most Of
The currant wine offered for sale, made
from loaf sugar of COMMON quality, and
often from sugar very inferior to this, such
Us white Havana, ETC., contains gum in
this fetid condition, and its foul favor Is
an amalsamation of sugar, curraut juice,
and fe:ii gum. When double refined
sugar is used, all these difficulties arc
avoided.
No alcohol should be added The prac-
;ice of putting in small quantities of BRAN
dy and other liquors, makes cordial and
not wine. All the sugar used may be
so much fermented IS e. least to change
its character chemically, and this change
will produce all the alcohol required

Deep Plowing-its good Effects

UNION COUNTY SITE.

MESSRS. EDlTORS-AS you s"Hic n"'S
siuce offered the use of your columns for
the discussion of the claim, Of the good
old Borough of Miillinburg for the County
Seat for the new county of Union. lam
surprised that your generous offer has not
been taken up with. Perhaps 1t was the
expectation that paper would soon be
established here, which would be more
appropriate organ for the advocacy of our
claims. But as those who talked Of set
ting up here have not done SO, we throw
ourselves upon your generosity to allow US
a fair hearing, although | regret some
more competent person has not taken the
Job, as We have had much talk and several
meetings to advance our cause.

trouble to consult the Map Of the county
as laid out by X. Nolkmar, can not fail of
seeing that Miftiinburg is almost exactly
in the center of the county, whether We
take it through East and West, or by the
North and South 1t will be seen also
that the principal roads from Hartley,
New Berlin, Lewisburg, Bufaloe Cross
Roads, etc, ETC., all centre here in this
central location, convenient of access from
every quarter.
We also contend that in salubrity Of
climate, morality of inhabitants, and qui-
etness of neighborhood and freedom from
aspirit of litigation, We are not equalcd
by our competitor, nor by pleasantncss of
location or beauty Of cur young ladies

will doubtless DO themselves justice by

Many recipes have been offered to Pre-
vent this difficulty. Rats, mice, etc, may
be entirely dispelled from farm, by an
applica,ion Of mixture of phosphorus
and lard thoroughly combined, and placed
on small bits of bread containing small

abou. barns, cellars, hot beds, and around

and mice, and invariably cause their death

GEORGIA IuNoRANcE.-I heard good
anecdote here yesterday, which is worth
recording, as it shows the kind of men,
which the politicians sometimes foist upon
the people. Four Of the members of the
last Legislature had a dispute whether the
State Of Georgia was in North, or South
America; failing to agree, the question
was referred to 5cr-keeper, who decided
that Georgia is in South America, fo- the
reason that our Merchants all 60 to New
York and Philadelphia, and as those pla-
ces are in the "Norrard" or in North Ame-
rica, Georgia must Be in South America

and the controversy was settled over q

BALTIMORE, July 5.-The mansion and
grounds of Thomas Winans are magnific-
emily Illuminated tonight, in honor Of the
repulsc Of the Allies by the Russians. The
garden and mansion, covering space Of
six acres, is one glare Of variegated lamps,
fireworks, rockets, &c.
The above announcement, to the shame
Of an American citizen, comes by Tele-
graph. No friend CT the institutions of
this country can rejoice at the success CT
the Russian Autocrat-the creates: despot,
and the most ambitious and reckless tyrant,
now on earth and for citizen Of it to
present such demonstrations Of sympathy
and admiration, shows no. only an utter
contempt fer our simp!e republican form
of Government, but to,al disregard of
the popular feeling, entertained BY every
true friend of our confederation.
The Governments of England and France
although Monarciies, are represented in
their councils by delegates from the people,
chosen under an elective franchise, thus
destroying the absolute power Of the mo-
narchs. But in Russia the people have no
yoice-no representation-its millions
holding life and property at the mercy Of
the Czar! Liberty of the press, of speech,
or of action they have none. The iron rule
of the despot is unstayed. Its chains are
unbrokeu, and birds every human being
in the empire as slave to the Emperor,
subject to his will-Lancaster Wing.
