Blackberries.
New York, July "a.

PRrsERv1NG-SyRUp-WINE.-Blackberries
will soon be in the height of their season,
and while enjoying present luxury it is
we'll to have a care for the future. They
may be preserved by drying but do not re-
tain their favor as well as most other fruits
kept in this way, Cooked with sugar to
somewhat tenacious mass, they may be kept
for long time.
A good syrup or cordial can be prepared
in the following manner Mash the selected
ripe berries to pomice, put them into lin
en- bag and strain out the juice. Add to
every quart of the juice about half pound
of loaf sugar, powdered, a heaped teaspoon
ful of ground cinnamon, and as much Of
powdered cloves, and boil all together in q
glazed preserving kettle. When cold, add
one fourth of its bulk of fourth-proof brandy
and bottle it for use.
e." To make wine equal in value to.port,
take ripe blackberres, or dew berries, and
press them let the juice stand SO hours to
ferment skim of whatever rises to the top,
then to every gallon of the juice add quart
of water and three pounds of s"gar, drown
sugar will do j let this stand in open vessels
for twenty-lour hours; skim and strain it
then barrel it until March, when it should be
carefully racked off and bottled. Blackber.
ny cordial is made by adding one pound Of
white sugar to three pounds of ripe black
berries, allowing them to stand twelve hours );
then pressing out the juice, straining it,
adding one third spirit, and putting tea
spoonful of finely powdered allspice in every
quart of the cordial, it is at once fit for use.
This wine and cordial are very valuable med
icines in the treatment of weakness of the
stomach and bowel, and are especially val
liable in the summer complaints of children.

Linnnr at Raisings.

A question of some interest, as bearing upon
the subject of temperance and prohibitOry law,
has been of late debated by certain papers Of
the State, which arose in this way. Complaint
was entered to the Grand Jury of Orleans
County, against a certain individual, for fur
nishing liquor at raising. The Jury being in
doubt whether it was an Infringement of the
law, consulted Judge Poland, who gave an opin-
ion that it was not The opinion was undoubt-
edly based upon the following section OF the
amendment.
"SEc. | The words give array, wherever
they occur in the act to which this is an amend
ment, shall not be construed to apply to the
giving of intoxicating liquors at private d.ceit-
ings or their dependencies, unless given to hab-
itual drunkard, or unless such dwelling or its
dependencies, as the case may be, shall become
place of public resort"
The only question, of course, which can arise
is, what makes a place ga place of public re-
sort ?" This we do not propose to discuss. We
are. however, decidedly of the opinion, that if
the law does not prohibit the furnishing of Ii
quor on such occasions it ought to be SO AMEN
ded that it will. Under no other circumstances
could its use be more dangerous, or more detri-
mental to morals, of the young especially,
than on occasions of such public gatherings,
and we entertain no doubt that it is q violation
of the spirit if not the letter, of the law, and
does great violence to the feeling of every truly
temperance man We have no taste for unnec-
essarily meddling with any law and with this
especially it has already had too much of
certain sort of attention, but if it really has
the defect in question it is susceptible of I'M
provement and should have it.-Middlebury

THE ADVENTURES OF A SEED.-Nature has
arranged that plants growing even in the
burning desert shall be provided with enough
of water for the generation of their seeds;
and one of the most remarkable instances of
this fact is furnished by the Anastatica HER
ochuntica, or rose of Jericho which grows in
the arid wastes of Egypt, Palestine and Bar
berry: upon the roofs of houses and among
rubbish in Syria; and in the sandy deserts of
Arabia. This little plant scarcely six inches
high, after the Towering season loses its
leaves, and dries up into the form Of ball.
In this condition it is uprooted by the winds,
and is carried, blown, or tossed across the
desert into the sea. When the little plant
feels the contact of the WATER it unfolds it.
self, expands its branches, and having become
thoroughly saturated with sea water, are
carried by the tide and laid upon the scashore.
From the seashore the seeds are blown back
again into the desert, where, sprouting roots
and leaves, they grow into fruitful plants,
which will in their turn, like their ancestors,
be whirled into the sea- These regular Pc
riodical processes of the life circle of this
wee rose struck the simple imaginations Of
the men of old with superstitous awe, and
they invested it with miraculous virtues

The Dirty Trick in Williamstown,

EDITOR FREEMAN Il find in your columns a
notice of dirty trick in Williamstown, and in
order that your readers have rgat under
standing of the matter, there are several
things which needs little explanation. Now
the facts in the matter are about these
Some tint last spring set of boys, who
think themselves the upper Ten " in the
town of Williamstown, took ituppon themselves
to set out lot Of trees in front of the Congre-
gational Meeting House in said town, without
the concent and advice of majority of the own
ers and proprietors of the House and grounds
The story was at the time that they stole the trees
that they did set out; but perhaps that is a
little too hard a saying. Twill say they took
the trees without any leave of the owners of
the land from which they took them and not
knowing what was decent and right, they
set some of the trees from twenty to thirty
feet into the limits of the highway which gave
much dissatisfaction and hard feelings at the
time, not only to persons outside Of the Congre-
gational Society, but also to many of that So
ciety and there was so much hard talk and
hard feelings manifested by the Inhabitants of
the town generally, that the Selectmen were
consulted on the matter of removing them from
the highway as a public nuisance But they
all being men who desire peace and harmony,
rather than strife and contention, thought best
not to interfere by their authority, as they all
belong to other religious Societies than the Con.
gregationalist' IS and so the matter rested.
But soon, to add to the imposition which had
been put upon the Society, village, and town
generally. there was fence built around the
trees of such materials and in such manner
that it was shame and disgrace to the
House, the Society, and the village, which fact
all strangers who have seen it will attest to with
out fears of contradiction.
Now Mr.. Editor, intend to be man that
would have right come where it belongs, and
wrong go where it belongs and the presump
ton is that some man belongs to the Congrega-
tional Society in Wiliamstown after duly con.
slderlng the matter thought that the best way
to get rid of the nuisance and destroy the
doings of these young Would-be's, and
leave the Common open for the benefit
and convenience of the whole town as i
had been for fifty years and over, would b.
to destroy the trees which were so ungentleman
ly set upon the Common in front of the Con
gregatonal Church Now it is the opinion o
many that the man who first told you that tn,
trees were girdled, was the very man who grdlet
the trees ; and then to clear himself, wanted t.
have it understood abroad that it was some in
dividual of some other religious Society, VIII,
did the dirty trick.
Yours for the truth and the facts

A dispatch from New Foundland gives the
following reason for the delay of the working
of the Atlantic Cable:
/" We have seen private dispatch from re-
liable gentleman at st, Johns, N. f., who is in
a position to obtain the earliest and most cor
rect official intelligence concerning the Cable,
which states that the recording instruments at
Trinity Bay recorded with good degree of
success the communications from the electricians
at the Valentia office, but that owing to some,
as yet, unexplained cause, it has been impossi-
BILE to give that or any other intelligence to the
operators at Valentia. This is a state of things
which often occurs on the land lines, l. cone
Office can receive correctly from distant opera
tor, and yet be unable to send word in return,
and yet the difficulty is sooner or later found to
be in the battery, its connections, or the instru-
ments, and there is no reason to doubt that the
present difficulty in working the Cable will, as
SION as the electricians can compare notes, be
entirely overcome"
