Sealing War for Fruit Cans.-As
eserving fruit is becoming great
business in California, it being por-
ton of the duties of every good
housewife, we copy the following re-
ceipt for making sealing-way there
for, from late number of the New
York Tribune:
"Don't buy sealing-wax for your
bottles of fruit, or fruit juice, called
wine, or anything else that you want
to seal up for future use. Make it
yourself. 'How?' We will tell you,
Those are the ingredients:
Bees wax, OF English rcrrniIiion, 1; or Gum
sheilac, 2 oz.; Rosin, Soz.
Take some cheap iron vessel that
you can always keep for the purpose,
and put it in the rosin and melt it.
and stir in the verrnillion. Then add
the shellac, slowly, and stir that in,
and afterward the bees wax. When
wanted for use at any after time, set
it upon a slow fire and melt it SO you
can dip thebottle-nozzle in. Recollect
that the vermillion is only put in for
the looks of the thing, and if you
want to use it for any purpose where
color is no object, as for instance in
sealing over wounds upon trees, you
may leave the color out. The in
gradients for the above, bought in
this city, cost only twenty-five cents
for which, and little trouble, ysu
can have three quarters of pound
of good sealing wax for any common
use. For any purpose, such as an
application to trees, where you want
it tougher than the above proportions
will make it, add little more bees.

Il high Bridge flom England to
France.-This magnificent project is
being seriously entertained among
engineers and men of science. There
have been equally wonderful things
effected in our day. The English
papers have published some of the
details of the plans for uniting Eng
land and France by a gigantic tubu-
lar bridge across the channel between
Dover and Cape Grinez. In order
to afford passage to vessels of the
largest size, the bridge would rest on
one side on the cliffs of Dover, and
on the other side on the cliffs of Cape
Grinez, the French abutments being
raised one hundred and City three
feet higher than the English, to com
pensate for the difference of eleva-
ton of the cliffs. The bridge would
be supported by one hundred and
ninety towers, at a distance of five
hundred feet apart, each having a
light to guide vessels at night, and an
alarm bell for warning in fogs. The
greatest depth of the channel. on the
lioe proposed, is one hundred and
eighty-six feet. The bridge would
have two or more railways, which it
is estimated could be traversed in
twenty minutes; and it would be SO
built as to admit the light of day, be-
ing lighted at night by gas. In order
to prevent all fear of invasion, the
protector proposes that each end Of
the bridge shall be commanded by a
strong battery. The towers, which
would be one hundred feet in diane
ter and two hundred and sixty feet
high, would rest on colossal bases
three hundred feet square at the bot
tom and one hundred and fifty feet
square at the top, rising to a hight of
forty feet above the water, formed of
blocks of granite united by iron bars.
The elevation of the tops of the tow
ers would thus be three hundred feet
above the surface of the water. Mr..
Boyd estimates the utmost possible
cost of the bridge at 950,0O0,0O0,
but thinks that it could be built for
half that sum, and that the whole cost
would be reimbursed to the company
in eight years.

tice of the change of time made by
the directors of the Sacramento VAL
ley Railroad, as regards the running
Of the trains. The Superintendent of
the road, J. P. Robinson, Esq, has
called our attention to the fact that
we committed an error in the state>
ment we made in regard to the car
riage of freight. We stated that up
freights would be carried only by the
II o'clock train. We should have
said up aoay freights. This descrip-
ton Of freights will be delivered at
the stations on the line only by the
half past one o'clock train. The time
table is as follows; On and after the
18th Of October, 1859, the cars of the

part as follows, viz; the passenger
trains will leave the depot at foot Of

How THEY MAKE WINE.-We
find the following going the rounds Of
the papers. Wine drinkers may
have fancy to learn how their ia
vorite beverage is made. If SO, let
them read:
At tie northwestern corner of the
Mediterranean, where the blue waves
of the Cult of Lyons beat upon the
sunny shore of Langnedock, stands
the smiling aud prosperous little town
of Cette. Its harbor is convenient.
and usually crowded with shipping,
displaying the flags of many nations.
A stranger is often at first sight, puz-
zled to determine what may be the
particular branch of trade to which
the inhabitants are Indebted for their
wealth. The warehouses are nume>
rous, the stores are commodious !;
there are no beggars, and there is no
appearance in any part, of indigence
or idleness. Among the craftsmen,
perhaps, preponderance of coopers
is observable; vast indeed is the con-
sumption Of slaves and hoops Los
wood here is also used largely, cider
extensively, sugar not a little. Cher
opiga and Benicarlo, are imported in
great quantities, but never leave Cette
under the original names. To be
brief, within the limits Of this little
Mediterranean seaport, and from the
crude materials above enumerated,
are produced, in enormous quantities,
limitations of every known vintage
Claret, Hocheimer, Johanniberg, Bur-
gundy, Champagne, Moselle, spark
ling or still,) Madeira, Lachrym@
Christi, Constantia, Humble Port, or
Imperial Tokay. 1t matters not how
rare nor how choice the original sam
ple may be, so accurate is the palate
so nice the skill of this little colony
of thrifty wine merchants. that they
can, with more than Chinese precis-
ion, initiate the flavor and copy the
color of the required fluid; nay, even
the form of the bottle in which the
genuine wine is ordinarily met with,
so that an experienced judge is not
unfrequently imposed upon. A bad
vintage, or even a succession of bad
seasons, is regarded there as rather a
, blessing than a misfortune. The
price of wine naturally rises. but the
cost of ingredients used by the manu-
facturer of Cette remaining pretty
nearly the same, he is enabled to sup.
ply his customers with increased ad-
vantage to himself. Little, there fore
does he pray for an abundance OF
grapes or a genial September sun
Let but the cider crop be copious, and
the Bay of Campeche yields liberal
ly its useful stores. and he will take
care that the cellars of England shall
not want replenishment with the tn
est Port.

The CoNFLAGRATIoN of st. James Church
at Montreal, on Tuesday, has been noticed by
telegraph. The Montreal Gazette SAYS moth
ing whatever was removed from the interior
the altar, all the appurtenances thereof, images,
pictures, Vestments of clergy, &C., were all de-
stroyed AT midnight the belfry was a living
mass of fire. The bearings of the large bell
gave way, and it came to the ground with a
tremendous crash, ringing as it fell, the clapper
having struck it three times. The roof had
previously fallen, and the flames belched out
most furiously. They ascended to a great
height, Illuminating the city and the whole
surrounding country for miles, Nearly one
hundred cords of dry tamarac wood, which
had been split and packed away for the win
ters use, in the basement, gave immense body
to the flames, whose roaring could be heard at
great distance Shortly after the roof ignit-
ed the draught caused by the fire, rushed
through the organ pipes and it fell, emitting
distinct musical sounds, thus playing its own
elegy. An immense concourse of people had
gathered to witness the spectacle, and the gem
eral impression was, that had due exertions
been used the fire might have been subdued
before it had finished its work of destruction
The church was insured in the Liverpool and
London Office for $4,000. Beyond this sum
the loss is severe.

LYNCHING OF REINHART.-The Minnesota
Statesman of the 28th of December reports
the lynching of Reinhart, the peddler, who
murdered the man from Worcester (Bodell of
Leominsterl, some time since If the States
mans report is correct, the affair was one of
the most horrible of the kind on record Thir-
ty or forty men broke into the Jail at Lexng-
ton, in spite Of sheriffs and deputies. AT their
approach, says the Statesman, the poor wretch,
Reinhart, inspired with the strength of des-
perate man, tore his right hand free, through
heavy gyve of iron, and seizng the leg of
cast iron stove, stood at bay with his face to-
wards the door Being tall, muscular man.
the lynchers, for a while, dared not enter
After short consultation they tore down the
gable end of the log jail and assailed him in the
rear. Finding all hopes of resistance vain,
Reinhart lost all heart, and fell upon the floor
IN nit Taking the senseless body in sleigh,
the whole party proceeded out of the village,
mile and half, and attaching a rope to his
neck, threw it over tree and hauled him up
The moose was not tight, and the lynchers
lowered the body to adjust it more securely.
Reinhart now came to his senses, sprang to his
feet and earnestly asserted his entire innocence
OF the murdered Bodell. Seeing that their
ears were closed against his entreates, he
changed his tone, and declared his readiness to
die. AT his request bystander was called on
to pray, and after short prayer the murderer
was again hauled up.

DIVORCE SUIT BY Mrs. Cora V. HATCH.
Mrs Cora V. Hatch, the spiritual trance me-
dium, has commenced a suit for divorce
meaSa ct horo from DIR. Benjamin Hatch, her
husband, on the ground of ill-treatment. The
allegations in the complaint now on file, form
an extraordinary narrative, which may be
summed up as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch
were married in Attica, N. Y, on the 7th of
August, 1856. Before their marriage, he rep
resented to her, that, during the three previous
years, he had been a practising physician in
New York, and that his practice was worth
$4,000 year; that, when married, he could
supply his wife with all the comforts, advanta-
ges, cOnveniences, and refinements of life,
which would be expected to belong to the wife
of a physician in good standing, and which
would be required by the society in which she
would be expected to move. Notwithstanding
these representations, he has not practsed as a
physician since their marriage, but has been
depending for his support entirely upon her
labors. In October, 1854, by his request, she
gave, and has since given lectures in various
cities, the proceeds amounting to 5000, which
he confiscated to his own use, except the sum
of 500 and what he expended for their mu-
tual support. She consented to give the lee
lures on the condition that he would provide
for her mother, to which he assented, but he
never paid her more than ten dollars, she be-
Ing, in the meanwhile, in want of the necessa-
ries of life. During the whole time she was
engaged in lecturing, although he provided
expensive and snowy garments for her. as
public sign, he never furnished her with fian-
mel garments, though often requested to do so,
but has left her destitute of suitable under-gar-
ments, exposed to the inclemency of the
weather, endangering and impairing her health
thereby. He often refused to provide for her
riding to and from her lectures, and has COM
PEELED her to walk in incIement weather. The
bill Of complaint filed by Mrs. Hatch, speci-
iles at length numerous other charges of SINH
lar nature to the above. The defendant is now
residing in New Hampshire.

TERRIBLE SCENE-Among the prisoners
who recently escaped from the Columbus (O.)
Jail, were two men imprisoned for the murder
of Henry Korrel, in June last, named Conrad
Seibold and John Fronenberger. On Saturday
last, the officers got on the track of Seibold,
who was running across a field, and after a
, chase OF hours, the pursued occasionally stop
ping to threaten his pursuers with his pistols,
the scene closed as follows, as we find it in the
Ohio Statesman of the Sd inst:
"Seibold finally got on the track of the Cen
tral Ohio Railroad, and took refuge in the first
bridge over Alum Creek about three miles
east of this city. Seibold went over to the
east side of the bridge, stopped and swore he
would Kill the first man who attempted to cross
the bridge, at the same time pointing his cooked
pistols at the officers, who attempted to per-
suade him to lay down his arms and submit,
promising to treat him kindly, and using every
possible argument. Seibold told them he
would give them twice the amount of the re-
ward If they would let him go, and that he
would never be taken alive. Half an hour
was thus spent i'll parleying, when the officers
sent to neighboring farm house and procured
loaded rifle, with which they hoped to intm-
date him. But the desperate man was not to
be intimidated Officer White toek the rifle
and called upon him to surrender saying that
they were determined to arrest him, dead or
alive. To this Sebold made no reply, but
stepped to the end of the bridge, where the
stone embankment is about twenty feet high.
As the officer was about to raise the gun to his
shoulder, Seibold turned his back to the crowd,
placed the muzzle of his single barrel pistol be-
ween his teeth, fired, and fell headIong down
the precpice, dead The officers, and num-
Der of Others who witnessed this terrible scene.
rushed to the spot, but the desperate man was
convulsed with the mortal agony of death a
slight tremor was all the evidence of life he
exhibited after he was reached
