PRESERVING APPLES AND PEARs.-As
the present is the season when our fru
raisers are thinking about putting up their
apples. and pears for winter use, we can do
them no create, favor in that line than to
repubilsh from our colums the method OF;
preservation adopted by Mr.. Edward NJ. .
Davis, of Chelton Hills. as written out by
himself. Specimens of the apples were
presented at the last June meeting Of the
Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agri
culture, and were as sound, fresh and
plump as if picked from the tree the day
they were exhibited. The flavor of the
Reding. particularly. was unchanged; and
that of all of them was very little injured
by the lapse of time since lal:az fse<zSi-..

THE MOTIVE POWER.

The engine and boiler which have been plan
ned and constructed for driving the '.Combina-
ton Mill,'' are so compact and substantial and
so easily managed that almost every extensive
farmer planter would find them as conve-
nient and valuable for the farm or plantation as
span of horses yoke of oxen. No one
heed be deferred from the possessor of this
motive power, by apprehensons of difficulty
in running or taking of it, for it is so sim
plified to be within the comprehension of
any judicious person, who will uote the instruc-
tions always furnished with it.
The engine is nine feet long, has an eight
inch cylinder, eighteen inch stroke. with feed
pump attached to and operated by the engine
The driving pnliy. which also serves for bal
ance wheel, is FIVE feet in diameter and ten inch
face.
The boiler is OF locomotive construction, 10
feet long, containing A tubes, 81 inches in di-
ameter. The fire box SO inches long and 2S
inches wide; smoke pipes Is inches in diane
ter and so feet long.
The engine and boiler which we usually fur
nishmav be rated az fourteen hors. power,
which is sufficient to drive the Mill, together
with circular saw, shingle mill, small grisi
mill, or other machinery of a similar character.
AS surplus power is always of great advantage,
this is the power we always furnish with the
mill.

POTABILITY AND FREIGHTAG

Tho mill and power as described above, all
complete, weighs five tous, as follows:
Boiler, with connexions, ..3, 400 lbs.
Engine, ...... = 400 lbs.
Mill, ,..... .,... -.... - 200 lbs.
The whole establishment, with foar or FIVE
yoke of oxen, either upon carts, wagons or
trucks, can be easily moved at the rate of from
10 to % miles per day. The entire machinery
can be taken apart, and pat together again in a
few hours time. Thus the necessity of moving
the logs long distance to the mill, is entirely
obvatcd, as it is much chea per to. move the mill
to the logs. As it will be perceived. there is

FIFTY Years Hence.

Right Rev. Bishop Clarke delivered a
lecture in Cambridge on Tuesday evening
of last week, taking for his subject, "Fifty
Years Hence" From a sketch in the
Cambridge Chronicle, we take the follow
ing extracts:
Fifty years hence the newly married pair
will step into an emporium for the sale of
houses, look over the book of patterns, Sc
lect one to suit their taste and means, order
it, and it will be sent hcme in the morning.
put together and occupied at night.
In travelling, as great changes will take
place. Instead of the dusty road and
crowded car, there will be splendid loco
motive hotel, flying over road carpeted
with turf and bordered with shade trees,
and heralding its approach with sweet 'mu-
sic instead of the demoniac shrek of the
steam whistle, and labelled, Through from
Boston to San Francisco in four day."
Instead of the unsightly telegraph poles,
there will be, fifty years hence; a net work
underground, and under, the bosom of the
deep, and it will click of thoughts instead
of words. Then the electric battery will
light all the street lamps at once, enable all
the clocks in the city to keep exact time,
and kindle the beacons on the dangerous
rocks, where men now hazard their lives
and wear out their lonely days.
Then the author will not write by our
slow process, losing his rarest fancies but
he will sit down to the newest invented
Chirographical instruments, and putting
his fingers on the keys, write as fast as he
can think.

LARGE RoRERY AT THE STATE FAIR,

LARGE ROBBERY AT THE STATE FAIR
The Cincinnati Gazette of this morning
says: ait has been rumored for two or
three days past, that gentleman was rob
bed while attending the State Fair, of s3,-
600 in money, and it now appears that
his name was Edward Smith, and he ma
tive of Clinton county. His son asserts
that his fathers pocket-book also contain
ed valuable papers drafts, bills and notes,
to the amount of about $4,000, but which
can be of no use to any but the owner, as
payment has been stopped. Mr.. Smith
"indulged' rather freely during the Fair,
and did not, it is said, discover his loss un-
til after he had left the city, which accounts
for his not coming here before this, and
making an effort to re-obtain his money
and documents"

Useful Receipts.

DYE FOR THE HAIR.-To dye the haiI
black without diseoloring or injuring the
skin, mix equal parts of litherage and lime,
and form into thick paste with water
Before applying, wash the hair with soda
and water to free it from grease. The
paste should be laid on pretty thick, and
the hair covered with cabbage leaf or wet
brown paper. This should be done imme-
diately before retiring for the night. On
rising in the morning, the powder, which
viii resemble mortar, should be brushed
away, or crumbled off with the fingers, and
the hair oiled. It will then present a
beautiful black color, nor at all unnatural
to touch or the appearance.
VENTALATING HAY SrAcKs.-The Brit
ish farmers have method of ventalating
their hay, oat and barley stacks, which we
may frequently adopt with advantage; and
in stacking cornstocks, it would be always
beneficial. They fill large bag, say 81
feet high and 20 inches in diameter, with
straw, and place it vertically in the center
of the stack, putting the barley, oats, or
hay-whichever it may happen to be-
around it. As the stack rises, they lift the
sack; and SO on to the top. In this way,
there is chimney formed in the center of
the rick or bay, into which the steam or
gasses generated TO find their way and es-
cape readily.
WEDDING CAKE.-One pound of -four; !;
one pound of sugar; one pound of butter;
two pounds or raisins, stoned; three pound
of currants well washed; one and quar-
ter ounce of mace; one ounce of nutmeg;
one and quarter pound Of citron; half
gill of brandy; few cloves. Bake in
large loaves three hours.
Cure FOR HYDRoPHoBIA.-First dose,
one ounce of elecampane root, boiled in
one pint Of milk until reduced to half
pint. Second dose, Ito be taken two days
after the frst) II ounce of elecampane
root boiled in one pint of milk, boiled as
the first. Third dose, the same as the
second, Ito be taken two days after; in all,
three doses.
MoLAssEs CooKIEs-One coffee cup of
molasses; half cup of butter; three tea
spoonsful of soda; one and half of cream
Of tartar; flour enough to roll out.
CRACKER PrE.-Two soda crackers soak
ed in one cup of warm water; one small
teaspoonful of tartaric acid, or lemon juice !;
one cup of sugar. Season and bake as an
apple pie.
JALAP.-Dr. Hauner is of opinion that
this drug, combined with calomel, is the
best and most efficient purgative for chill
dren.
CURE FOR AsrHMA.-For child one
drop of nitrid acid twice day, taken in
half teacupful of water. The painful
wheeling will be gone in a week or two.

The WESTERN HOG CRop.-The Gin
clnnati Price Current expresses the opin-
ion that the Hog crop of the present year
Will Dc what Is known as 'long" or large
one. The returns from Kentucky show an
increase of 80 per cent, over last year, and
in Ohio of 20 per cent. The same pro-
portions will probably hold good through
out Indiana and Illinois. Corn, also is
most abundant; and as the whiskey manu-
facture is very much depressed, there will
be no lack of material to fatten hogs on
We trust the speculations of the Price
Current may prove true. IT, with cheap
bread, the people can procure cheap meat,
the future will have less of gloom about it
TO those who have been for years oppress-
ed with high pricecs.
