DEMONSTRATING makes a more deli
cious pie than the stem of the rhubarb in its
proper season. 1t comes into use between
the use of apples.
There are many varieties. The poorest is
the dark green stem, with very dark brown
ish red at the foot The best is the light
green, with light red, tinged with orange
near the foot, and the same color intermixed
with the green generally over the stalk. This
is much the largest aud most productive va
riety.
Cultication.-It should be very highly ma
nured every fall, with horse manure, by
opening the earth around the root, and de-
posting the manure to the quantity Of one
peck to each root and covering it with the
earth to prevent the too free evaporation of
the ammonia. There should be mixed with
the manure, at least two quarts of gond, un-
ieached wood ashes to the peck of manure.
Rhubarb, manured in this way, will be one
third larger than when cared for in any other
way, and what is very important, will not re-
quire more than one half of two thirds the
sugar to sweeten it for pies, This l know to
be so. as L have tried the experiment for
three years on the same Variety attributed
this to the greater presence of alkali, neutral
izing the acid of the stalk. The acid of the
plant raised in this way is much pleasanter,
and is entirely destitute of any gallo, rough,
or bitter quality.
Preparation for the Pte.-The stalk should
not be peeled-it is not necessary. Cut or
plucked IN proper time, the rind or skin will
dissolve as readily as the body of the stalk
Besides the waste by peeling, you cast aside
that part wherein is contained that delicate.
spicy. aromatic favor of the plant, which is
better than any spice or favoring you can
givei otherwise. The rhubarb has its own
spice, of its own peculiar quality, and no
other favoring should be used in making the
pie Granite State Farmer.

The THEATRE.-Tonight will be given the
fourth representation of " Camille" at our thea
tire. 1t is nearly two weeks since the presen
company opened on Front street, and, until with
in a night or two our citizens have not eneour
aged it in any manner commensurate with it
true metit. Collected from the leading theatre
in New York, by the enterprising manager, Nj
| Lingham, it is composed of individuals who
even in that metropolis, are recognized az player
OF more than ordinary ability. From those VIII,
have attended we have heard but one opinion, an.
that is, that the company most superior to an,
we have yet had with us. Another fact, worth.
| of mention, is that the members in private lii
are ladies and gentlemen for it is too often th,
case, which cannot be denied, that among tn,
! profession are many hangcrs-on who disgrace it
Since Mr.. Marshall opened here with his com.
pany, there have been several ATTEMPTS made to
reopen, but they have been, to say the least
failures. Therefore, our theatre-goers have nat
urally arrived at the conclusion that nobody but
Mr.. Marshall could collect company that would
be respectable. One visit, however, to the pres
ent one will satisfy the best judges how erroneous
is the opinion.
In no more favorable light has the company
yet appeared, than in Camille. 1t is a play in
every way calculated to test the strength of
company. We have listened to it two nights
with interest. Mrs. Cunningham, as the hero.
inc, seems peculiarly adapted to the part in form
and feature With classical face, over which
she has remarkable control, a most agreeable
voice, mastery Evolutionary powers, and with a
polished and winning action she is the beau ideal
of the gay laughing pleasure.loving, but at times
sad, accomplishing, conscience-stricken Ca.
MILE Melancholy true to nature is the startling
cough which ever and anon strikes upon the ear
of the listener. And, as the play progresses that
warning sound grows more frequent and the
deceptive rosy signal becomes deeper upon her
wan cheek. In her gasping sentences we see
her breath grow shorter and shorter, and when
she would look upon the sunlight once more, the
tottering step, and trembling hand, grasping for
support, memory comes rushing upon us, and re-
calls the friends whom we have seen fall beneath
the terrible scourge. 1t is fine conception in the
last mournful scene, when lying as one dead, she
starts to life at the sound of her Armand's voice,
stands firmly upright, but to fall llfeess clay in
his arms.
We regret that our space will not permit US to
partieulartze upon the superb acting of Messrs.
bingham, Cunningham, and Aiken, McDouall
and Mesdames Grattan and Miller. At another
time we may do SO. They are worthy Of much
credit.
We cannot close this notice without calling at.
tention to the ine taste and knowledge display
ed in the costumes. The dressing is done re-,
markedly we'll, and in perfect character. 1t is to
be hoped that the success met with this week
may be such as will warrant the company in tar.
ying with US another week.
Pie'se notice the reduction of prices, and at.
end this evening.

Ii. W. BRBcHER complains that his views
of the communion have been misrepresented.
He says that he has not thrown the Lord s
Supper to the whole world. The following
statement is from his pen:
1.-THE only effort that 1 have made has
been to raise the terms of communicate
put the invitation upon grounds which would
exclude worldliness, and attract only those
who believe themselves TO be IN living unison
with Jesus Christ. l have made actual piety
and not mere church membership the ground
of fitness. 1 have sought to bring back to its
original nse most precious ordinance, which
in our great cities, is in danger of being pros
tituted to worldliness Thousands of men,
q in good and regular standing in evangelical
churches, are giving no evidences of piety
are living in open sin, or practices, in bust
ness and in public affairs, irreconcilably at
variance with the spirit of Christianity. l
cannot ask such persons to the Lords table
just because they are regular members Of the
church. Instead of throwing open the Lord
table to the world, am endeavoring to ex-
clude from it even those who have an eecesi-
astlcal right to it, if they have not moral
fitness. But, as before long, l shall develop
my views at some length, it is not necessary
to say more upon this subject now. than
simply to pronounce the current representa-
tons upon this topic entirely incorrect.
1t may be said that the public have a right
to suppose statement correct, unless, after
due waiting it has been contradicted. This
- true in some cases. But in hundreds of
instances, things will die harmlessly if let
alone, that would have fretful life if med
died with Only when they promise great
mischief, and seem likely to live and be cred
tied, do feel called upon to leave my work,
and run down Or explain the s-statements
OF newspapers, whose reporters, though hon

fairs than of ecclesiastical usages or theologi-

+ PRoscRIPyIoN.-A singular edict has ap
peared in the Paris Mo1aiteur, which is sun.
posed to be meant for the suppression of the
circulation of Bible and Protestant tracts in
France. It alludes to the circulation of i'm
moral books before the last revolution, and
says" this was the consequence of the i'm
prudent neglect that is adorned with the
name of liberty" 1t then concludes: Ii
is the duty of the administration to prevent
foreign societies, possessed of considerable
resources from despatehing agents to France
with the view Of producing agitation" From
the facts that the Catholic priests have OBJ
tanned great influence with the government
and that they dread the agitation produced
by Protestant books, there is little doubt of
the purpose of the edict. The American
Tract Society has institutions in France, ii
seems.

CAN MAN BE HIS Own GRAnDFArHER p

There was a widow and her daughter in law,

the son, and the daughter the old man. The
widow was therefore mother to her husbands
father, consequently grandmother to her own
husband. They had son, to whom she was
grandmother. Now, as the son Of D

ed with 100000 of the funds of the concern,
and $4,000 of his own money, taking with
him a woman by the name of Anderson,
with whom he has been long suspected Of
being on familiar terms. Fitton was engaged
in New York, on business for the factory,
and to avoid suspicion letters were forwarded
for ten days after he sailed for Europe, which
was on the 2lst, announcing the success of
his negotiations, and that he would be at
home in day or two.
When Fitton went East, be took his family
to Providence, Rhode Island, to visit some

action until the facts all came to light. His
wife was greatly overcome by the astounding
intelligence. Previous to this affair, Fitton

TRANCE LEcTURE.-Mrs. Hatch, the Young
trance speaker from New York, delivered dis.
course on Tuesday evening" in Washburn Hall
to some two hundred and fifty or three hundred
of our most respectable citizens, who listened to
her with the most intense interest The pecuiiar
charm of her manner of delivery overpowers all
prejudice and every opposing obstacle, and the
listener is carried along upon the beautiful and
gentle current of thought oblivious to everything
around him. Her language is 4he most chaste
and classical which can we'll be conceived; her
elocution and diction are fautless, and her illus
trations are drawn from nature, and clearly pic
tured in all their grandeur. Nothing which we
can pen can give the reader any clear idea of
the power and influence of this young woman
over her auditors. Her every expression beams
with intelligence and animation her attitude the
most gracsful; her voice not loud, but full and
distinct; her enunciations not hurried, but calm
ana deliberate; and her gestures in perfect keen
ing with the harmony, purity, and loneliness.
which appear to beam forth from her soul. I'm
agine all this, and then you may have some faint
idea with what eagerness her listener catches ev-
ely word as it falls from the lips of the speaker.
When 1t is remembered that her discourses are
delivered without any previous preparation, and
that they involve the most abstruse and meta
physical subjects, it cannot be denied that she
may be looked upon as the most remarkable wo-
man OF this OF any other age. The learned men
of this country have given the most perplexine
themes to her for calculation, and she has dis
coursed upon them by the hour more ably than
those who had made it their study for years.
From what source does she secure her ability to
discuss and master those themes which have pug
led the best minds for ages? This is the cues
ton which the reflective public are called upon to
answer. 1t is useless to cry humbug or delusion,
for the facts are before u.s. which all can witness
who will.
What man in this country would dare to 20 be.
fore an intelligent audience, and undertake to
speak upon any subject which might be given,
and then solicit the criticism of the au3ience
Who ever would undertake it. would fail in the
first attempt. But, here Is a lady of eighteen
Summers, who stands the test year after year,
and that, too, before the most critical and intel
ligent audiences which listen to any speaker. If
Mrs Hatch does not speak by inspiration, we
would like to have some of the learned ones in
form US by what means she comes in poses sson
OF her wisdom,for she is too young TO have learned
It by study, however close application she may
have made.
She speaks again this evening, in Washburn
Hall, which will be the last opportunity which
our citizens will have Of hearing her. HEB.
