TOMATO WINE.-This delicious vegetable,
which may be applied to so many purpos.
es, is very abundant at this time, more SO,
we think, than we have ever known them.
The following is recipe for making toma-
10 wine, said 10 be equal TO the best cham.
payne: Take small ripe tomatoes, pick off
the stems, put them into tub, wash them
clean, and then strain them through linen
bag. Zone bushel will make five gallons
of pure wiDe,) Add two and half to three
pounds loaf sugar to each gallon, then put
into cask and ierment, and fix as you do
raspberry wine. If two gallons of water be
added 10 the five gallons of juice, il will
still make very nice wine. Brown sugar
may be used instead of loaf, but the wine is
much more sparkling when loaf sugar is
used. The United States might export this
wine by the ship loads. II is said 10 be a
delightful beverage, equal TO Heidsck.

Democracy can place abiding confidence,

this is done the Democratic party very sell.

UEwomANLY CRuELTv.--Some women Iiv-
ing in the town of South Bend, Indiana, re-.
Gently hadtheir virtuous indignation aroused
against a widow of loose morals. They
took her, and stripped her, cut off her hair,
and tarred and feathered her from head to
foot This in broad daylight, in the public
street, and in full view Of the crowd. The
perpetrators of this sweet act were "mem.
bers of the Church" and married. The
victim of their rage or jealousy, as soon as
she escaped from the clutches of her per-
secutors, ran 10 the shop of a blacksmith
near by, who received her, shut the door
upon her pursuers. and furnished her with
oil, &c., to remove the tar, and with clothing
TO hide her nakedness.

dollars, he charged me ttoenty.thres dollars,
and he also charged Sheriff Snyder forty.

US in the Columbia County Republican.
And because we would not allow him
thus to leuy black mail upon us, we are in the

question charges US with supporting men
for nominations who are accustomed TO op'

To the BOb-tail Organ.

The brayings OF the last Columbia Demo.
crat are rather alarming; one not acquainted
with its whining and lameniable appeals
10 the public would suppose that it was, on
last Saturday, kicking its last. II pitches
into the County officers, the Republican, and
US, in roundabout way. Now if the Dem.
oerat has anything TO say about the course
of the STAR or its editor, we would thank il
to put its articles more direct 10 us, that all
his readsrs may understand what he is dri-
vvg at, or else forever hold iis. peace as 10
not having ''intercourse" with us or our
party. 1t appears that he has no desire to
have intercourse" with our Democratic
journal only in sneuking manner, by the
way very characteristic OF the man. We
are perfectly satisfied that he should refuse
'intercourse" with US, as it would unmis-
takably rebound 10 our credit to not have
anything to say or do with this blackguard-
lug sheet, in any manner or form.
The Democrat and its crew should try their
hand again at manufacturing "Sugarloaf"
communications; they may do better next
time. Howsomever, try to write SO as to
not be expo-ed-change your style a inle
more. After you have accomplished this
to write without being detected-then for
your own sake, say nothing about men sup.
porting candidates for office who have run
against Democratic nominations. They
should sweep their own door-yard, and ad.
here TO the old maxim, "persons fiving in
glass houses shoulttnot throw stones" Bolt.
ing and jostling nominations should not be
intima,ed by the Democrat. How dare it.
Cool impudence, indeed. Scarcely is a
Convention held and full ticket nominated
but what the editor of the Democrat opposes
some one on it. 1t is truly said of him, as
we heard remarked few days since, that
"his paper does one thing and he does
another" That is, his poper advocates the
ticket or party and he opposes it. He is a
beautiful specimen Of humanity 10 attempt
to advocate pure Democratic principles to
an intelligent public. We would that the
whole world could see him and we should
like nothing better than TO be the exhibitor
for the purpose of reaping the benefits.

LOOK TO THE PoTAToEs.-Some of our ex.
changes Eoiiiy us that the bugs are playing
sad havoc with the potatoes, and in some
instances whole patches have been eaten
up, and others are seriously damaged. They
also attack beats: cabbage ard tomatoes
They are very destructive in some parts Of
Indiana. Our farmers had better examine
their potatoes to see whether the enemy
has made an attack upon them. The crop
promises to be very fine unless injured by
these pests or the rot.
