following eloquent and touching tribute
to Mary Patten:

man, Mary Patten. whose name is hard
lily known to the public, the wife of a
merchandising master, who, far off on the
/ lonely Pacific, with no eyeto witness and
no voice to cheer her, when her husband
was taken down by illness, now tended
him in his cabin, as none but devoted
wife can tend stricken husband, now
took his place on the quarter deck of his
Iforlorn vessel; took her observation eve,

Strawberries.

Ho10 to preserve tkem.-Some of our
readers who have surplus of this ex-
cellent but short lived fruit, may profit
by the annexed receipts, which We find
in the Ohio Cutiuator, and some of
which we know to be valuable to those
who may not possess the requisite knowl-
edge to enable them artifcially to pro-
long the strawberry season
Strawberry Preserves-Select the
largest and handsomest berries, weigh
them and spread on platters. For each
pound of fruit, allow pound of powder
ed white sugar. Sprinkle half this a.
mount over the berries, and let them
stand several hours in a cool place, to
harden and to form liquor. Put them
in a porcelain-lined kettle, and by de-
grees strew on the rest of the sugar
Boil them slowly for fifteen minutes,
skimming thoroughly; then take them
from the sirup and spread again on plat
tiers, to cool and harden into shape
Then put them into widsmouthed glass
bottles, pour the sirup on boiling hot and
seal the jars.
+" Strawberry Jelly.-Take the berrie:
when first ripe and fresh, mash and
drain them through flannel bag. IL
each pint of juice put pound of white
sugar, and one-third of an egg. Boi
slowly about ten minutes, skimminG
thoroughly, then dip it in tumblers anc
cups, and set it in sunny window I'm
covered till it jellies, then seal then
over. 1t will never form a firm jelly
but II is delicious and beautiful.
" Canned lStraa0Jerries.-Put the Der
ries over the fire without sugar and witt
almost no water, and as soon as tn
whole mass is raised to the boiling poin
: dip ii while boiling into cans (glass
j better than tin for such acid fruit,) an
pour over the fruit into each can littl
boiling strip, nearly thick enough to can
dy Fill perfectly full, and seal air-tigl
} at once. These are very fine eaten wit
u cream.
It Strawberries should never be washe
for preserving. If dirty, do no use then
Strawberry shorteake is luxury. Mak
a large, thick shortcake, split it twic
through, and spread with butter and

WEST NEWPORT, July j.
AIR. EDITOR-Dear Sir-I have lately been

say that tor extent vi resources, for thit, enter

1t has been my good fortune to pass some three
or four weeks in tie village Of Coventry and
win say that l was perfectly delighted with the
place. Nestled in among the high old hills which
tower above her on every side, with q friendly
stream gently winding on its way to Lake Mem
/ phremagog, the place was one of interest TO me.
/ But what noticed with more pleasure than any
thing else, was the manner in which her principal
men, Messrs. WALNORTH & WEST do their
! business. These gentlemen invited me to visit
them and TO walk over their store ami 10 INSPECT

fact, was so informed by the inhabitants Of the

THE CoMET.-The eminent astronomers
Bonnie and Hind have gone over all the
calculations in reference to the expected
comet, and they conclude that in 1858, or
somewhere between 1858 and 1860, the
comet viii appear but the attempt to
designate the day, or even the year, of
its appearance, they regard as preposter-
Gus. There are nodata for soexact an esti-
mate The last appearance of this comet
was in 1856; it is one of the largest
comets described by European and Chi
nese observers, and exhibited extraordi-
nary briIliancy. 1t will no doubt be well
worth seeing when it comes, unless it may
have been robbed ola portion of its tai

COUNTERFEIT WHSTARS'S
BALSANT.

We would caution the purchasers Of the Bal
sam Of Hild Cherry against an imitation article
which has made its appearance in many places
and which might deceive the unwary by its re-
semblsnce to the genuine bottle. 0fthe mixture
we need not speak. Unprincipled scoundrels can
always be found to counterfeit anything, by which
they can put meney in their pockets, and they
are sure to choose the most popular and well
known article on which to practice their villain
les. 1t is lamentable fact that there are also
dealers in medicines who are willing to lend them
selves to carry out this imposition by selling such
trash as genuine, because they can buy it for less
than half the cost ofthe real article-Avod such
a man as you would dealer in counterfeit money,
for he is the greater scamp OF the two.
They have never dared to forge the written
signature of l. Butts, having wholesome fear o.
the State Prison before their eyes. Be sure tha
you find on the outside wrapper the 0ritteH sigaatuT
Of l. BUTTS, and you may rely upon its being
genuine. Buy none other.
