discovered for the preparation of that excellent vege.

Take good ripe tomatoes, cut them in slices, and
sprinkle over them finely pulverzed white sugar, then
add claret wine sufficient to cover them. Tomatoes
are sometimes prepared in this way with diluted
vinegar, but the claret wine mparts to them richer
and more pleasant favor more nearly resembling the

Gg~ The Judge, in sentencing Bushnell, one of the slave rescucrs at Cleveland. Ohio. made the following appropriate remarks to 'the prisoner:
 cit is at all times a disagreeable and painful duty for the court to pronounce the sentence and impose the penalty which the law demands for its violation. The dis charge of this duty is peculiarly painful in dealing with the class of offenders to which you belong, who deem it praiseworthy virtue to violate the law, and then seek ifs penalties with exultation and defiance.
 A man of your intelligence must know that the enjoyment of rational liberty ceases the moment the laws are allowed to be broken with impunity, and thereby fail to afford any protection to society!-that if the standard of right is placed above and against the laws of tho land, those who act up to it are any thing else than good citizens or good Christians. You must know that when a man acts upon any sys- tenn of morals or theology which teaches him to disregard and violate the laws of the government that protects him in life and property, his conduct is as criminal as his example is dangerous.
 The good order and well being of socie- ty demand an exemplary penalty in your case. You have broken the law. You ex- press no regret for the act done, but are ex- ultant in the wrong''

It is well known that great numbers of cooies, from China, have been taken to Cuba during the last few years A letter writer from that island relates the follow ing anecdote Illustrative of their propen- sity for lying: "The major-domo of a certain plantation had been murdered - The Chinese were suspected. They were mustered in presence of the copiton de por- hdo, who, like all copitanes de partido, was of course a very sagacious person. Who killed the maiordomo? said he to the first one. I did, was the answer Let him go, said the captain. Who killed the major-domo?' said he to the next. T did , And so on with twenty or thirty, who each insisted that he was the cause of maior- domo's exit, and were thereupon inconti- nently dismissed. At last one fellow an- swered, Juan did it. He's the chap, said the captain, and so it turned out to be. The confessing fellows were proven inno- cent-the denying scamp was convicted and garroted."

 Thoughtful, and especially christian men, cannot fail to tremble at the tendency among us to lower the sanctions of public law. The administration of justice is un- certain.

So long as these reli- glous papers counsel fanatics to break the laws, to steal the property of their south- ern brethren, to obstruct officers of justice and even commit homicide to rescue fugi- tive, they are not the fitting expounIers of law and order, nor does it become them to bewail the tendency "to lower the sane tions of public law" Therein they do but condemn their own vocation, and must not complain that they are placed in the class of self righteous teachers at the head of this article

 Those intending to plant peach orchards would probably do we'll by considering the following before determining upon a loca- tion
 By several years of experience and close observation the writer has found that those peach orchards planted upon an elevation. having an altitude greater than the sur rounding lands, prodme crop of fruit each year; whilst those planted in ravines, or depresslons and on level land, usually iall, at least two years out of three.
 The cause of this difference in fruiting, thlnk, IS this: upon an elevated location the winds are more constantly in action than Tn depressions and on level lands, and Tn consequence evaporation is carried on more rapidly, drying up the humidity or moisture upon the buds that may have col lected there. Therefore, the frost does not, penetrate the vital part of the bud or bloom. On the other hand, if the water remains upon the buds, it congeals by only an or dlnary frost-thus killing the fruit.
 Some writers l see are advising the planting of peach orchards on land closely surrounded by heavy and dense forest trees :; my observation would dictate the reverse The day previous to the severe frost of the 22d April, 1859, there was quite quantity oi rain fell in the morning; about F o. clock the wind commenced blowing pretty severely, and continued to do so until even Ing; upon land where it had full and free access among the boughs of the trees the orchards bid fair to yield an ordinary crop; but m other localities, where the wind was o0stiucted in its motion by adjacent forests or hIiIs, and the water left upon the buds, the crop is almost an entire failure
