SO, too, and as we desire to keep our

A Ve'y A3ce Fay to Cook CIs5elk-
eas.--Cut tie chicken up, put it in a
pan and cogor itover with water, let
it stew as usual, and when done make
a thickening Of cream and flour, ad-
ding piece Of butter and pepper and
salt; have made and baked a pair OF
short cakes, made as for pie-crust, but
rolled thin and cut in small squares.
This is much better than chicken pie,
and more simple to make. The crusts
should belaid on a dish, and the chick
en- and gravy put over them while
they are hot.
Dried Peaah and Apple PSe.-At-
ter the fruit is well cooked, mash il
well, and let it cool; then to one quart
of fruit stir in teacupful Of cream,
and two eggs Wei beaten; season with
essence OF lemon or cinnamon anC
bake in crusts, either with OF without
a top crust, as you fancy.
Cakes fer BreaYfast.-At nigh

broken fine, to soak in a pint and
half milk; in the morning mash i

make a batter, with the addition Q
another half pint of milk; bake a

THE GREENVILLE RAILROAD.

We omitted to mention Saturday, in oul
notice OF the Annual Convention of Stock
holders in this Company, any allusion to the
income of the road for the past year.
The gross receipts, we learn, of the road
for the year ending 3lst May, was upwards
of S270,Oo0-the current expenses for the
same period was about $l50,00O. The bal.
ance Of the income was expended in reducing
the floating debts of the Company, and pay.
ing the interest on the coupon bonds Of the
Company.
1t is a fact worthy of remark that no ac.
cident of any serious character has occurred,
nor passenger. hurt, during the past year,
and the arrivals and departures of the trains
have been made with the utmost punctuality.
The condition Of the road is now excellent,
and is a most comfortable travelling route.
The freight and passenger cars, engines, &c.
are all in capital order, and the prospects are
of large increase in the receipts Of the
company, from freight and travel.
The report Of the President, from which
we understand the above facts are taken,
was highly satisfactory to the stockholders.
Mr.. G. E. Walker, engineer appointed to
survey the route from Ninety.Six to Aiken,
reported that he had surveyed said route, and
exhibited pro6les and drawings of the sur.
vey. He estimates the building of that road
will cost about 100000. We also under.
stand that the Board of Directors will short.
ly order books to be opened for said branch.
We congratulate the Company on the
pleasing condition of their affairs, and hope
that the road may continue to flourish and
prospsr.-Carolnian.

Spoiled my new balloon;
For, steering through the milky way,
He ran against star,
And, turning round again too soon,
Came jolt against my car.

And then let Dan and Dick

colums of newspaper, to advocate their

DEATH OF VALUABLE MAN-The au-
thorities of the Smithsonian Institution have
Just received information of the death Of
Dr.. ]. G. Fluegel, United States Consul at
Leipsic, Saxony, in the 9Th year of his age,
of apoplexy. He was also the agent Tor
the Smithsonian Institution in Central and
Northern Europe, and devoted himself un.
tiringly and with the greatest success to the
promotion of its system of exchanges. He
called the Institution the "child of his affec.
tion," and spread no trouble or expense to
make its operations known through Europe,
and to secure for its library returns for the
valuable packages sent from it annually, to
be distributed by him. We understand his
son, DR.. Felix Fluegel, who has assisted him
in an his duties for many years, received the
appointment as agent for the Smithsonian
Institution, and that the system of operations
it has adopted in relation to exchanges, will
be enlarged and vigorously prosecuted by
him.-Washington Star.

PRA YER
In life, there j, no hour so sweet
From mornings dawn to evening star
As that which bids, the household meet
To ask Gods blessing by prayer.
Sweet, at the tranquil hour Of morn,
Sweet, ut the solemn hour Of eve,
When on the wings Of prayer upborne,
The cares Of earth, while to leave.
Words cannot tell the sweet relief
For all our wants, in prayer we find;
What strength for care; what balm for grief
IT'S prayer alone, gives peace of mind.
What calm delight, is thus enjoy'd-
None to offend, whilst God is near;
What comfort to be thus employ'd
In making known our wants in prayer.
How sweet to feel, the silent tear
That bids us weep our sins away,
Composed to every doubt and fear,
If thus employ'd from day to day.
Until reach the Heavenly shore,
May this, my fond employment be,
Each day, my inmost soul to pour
In holy prayer, my God to Thee.

From the Baltimore Patriot
DEATH FROM CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISH
MFCm

If rumor is not wholly a lie, one Of the
most cruel murders was perpetrated at Fort
McHenry, on yesterday, in the name of
military authority to punish INSTRUMENTATION,
that has ever fallen under our notice. 1t
appears that Louis Loup, native Of Swift.
zerland the oldest soldier at the Fort, who
had served with great credit in the wars OF
Florida and Mexico, was found intoxicated;
on Wednesday last, by Mr.. Sergeant Nor.
row. The Sergeant conceiving himself
treated with disrespect by some remark Of
the drunken soldier, felled him to the earth,
and inflicted on him the most cruel and un.
usual chaslisement.
Tie old soldier was then removed to the
guard.house, where the beating was renew.
ed, aud after an exhaustion of strength, not
of passion, as the, ,seque. shows, was left. TO
wefter in his Blood tilt yesterday morning,
when he was removed to the flagstaff, and
amid the most heart.rending entreaties, lash
ed 10 it with his hands up. He remained
in this painful position for three weary hours,
when the inclination of his head on his
breast indicated that death had relieved him.
Information of the death of the soldier un-
der these cruel circumstances was communi.
CITED to Capt Miller, of the Southern police,
who repaired to the fort, and returned imme-
diately and procured the attendance OF
Coroner Benson, who held an inquest over
the body.
The information elected has not transpir-
ed, but enough to induce Capt. Herring to
arrest Sergeant Morrow, and commit him
to answer. Morrow shelters himself behind
I'd Lieut.. Griffin, who, it is expected, will be
arrested to-day, and have hearing at three
o'clock this afternoon. We shall await the
developments of the hearing.
Since writing the above, we are informed
that the further prosecution of this case of
cruelty will be conducted by the United
States authorities, and that there will be a
hearing of the matter before the U. S. Com.
missioner tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
