ToMAroEs.-The following method of
preparing tomatoes for the table, we arc
assured by one who has made the ex-
pertinent. is superior to anything yet
discovered for the preparation Of that
excellent vegetable:
Take good ripe tomatoes, cut them in
slices, and sprinkle over them fine pul.
verizcd white sugar, then add claret
wine sufficient to cover them. Toma-
toes are sometimes prepared in this way
with deluted vinegar, but the claret
wine imparts to them richer and much
more pleasant flavor, more nearly re-
sembling the strawberry than anything
else.

RoAcnEs.-A correspondent of the
Knoxville Wing furnishes the following
remedy for reaches. Perhaps some of
,our readers may be interested in it:
These vermin are easily destroyed,
simply by cutting up green cucumbers
at night, placing them about where
reaches commit depredations. What is
cut off from the cueumbers in preparing
them for the table, answer the purpose
as well, aud three application will de-
stroy all the reaches in the house. Re-
move the pcclings every morning, and
renew them at night. If properly ap-
piled, and the remedy fails, the writer
of this article will pay any ones sub
scription for this paper for one year.

A DANGEROUS USE or PHoToGgAPHy.--
A curious circumstance has Just hap
Ipcned to NJ Agnado, whose talent in
photography has given him European
celebrity. He laid q wager that he
would SO exactly initiate French bark
note that the difference should not be
perceptible. BY the time appointed the
note was ready, and laid side by side
with the original upon his desk Judge,
jury, all were there ready to seize the
smallest indication which should lead
them into Alright guess. The gentle
man who laid the wager took both notes
i'll his hand to examine them in the
strong light from the window By some
accident he changed or shuflied them
from one hand to the other; and when
he returned them to the desk neither NJ
Aguado himself nor any one of the com
pany could tell which was the false note
and which was the truel There they
lie still-two thousand franc notcs-and
all connaissenrs are invited to give an
opinion. Needless to say that Ban
que de France has sent its most expert
Judges, but without effect.-European

AMERICAN RlFLED CANNoN.--A trial of a
r;Red six FOUNDER Was made OIL Monday last,
at Flushing, L. l., before several military Off
GERS of the Mexican Constitutional Govern
ment. The firing was extraordinary, aud RE
walls that of the most complex English and
French pieces. The gun is Il common bronze
can.oa five feet long, weighing $50 pounds,
end rifed with eight grooves. The target 5
by feet, moored at mile distance, received
six out Of eight shots fred after the gun was
brought to bear upon it, five of which were
within twenty inches of the center of the bulls
eye This success is attributed to new con-
struction of projectiIe, invented by the late
Andrew HotchkIss, Of Connecticut, aud said
to have been recently much improved. After
the target practice, the mu?zle of the gun was
elevated, and several shots thrown to distances
variously estimated between three and four
miles. The projectiles are oblong, weighing
nine and three-quarter pounds each, and were
fred on the long range with fourteen ounces OF
Dupcrt's powder.

Mrs. Del orah Starr, of Danbury, died q
few days sirce aged niuety-six years. She
was a descendant of one of the Revolutionary
patriots, John McLain and being at that
time thirteen years Of age, retained clear
recollection Of many scenes Of "the times that
tried mems souls" She witnessed the burn
ing of Danbury by the British soldiers. and re-
lated many of the incidents connected with
that event. She was present at the funeral OF
Gen' Wooster, and at the celebration OF the
Wooster Monument, was the only living wit
ness, probably, of that event. She was the
mother of nine children, seven OF whom are
now living. She preceded her husband to the
tomb, with whom she years ago passed the
"golden wedding" day, having lived together
seventy years, on the very spot where he was
born, where he passed bis youth, his manhood,
his old age, and where he patiently waits for
the summons to meet bis late companion in q

sUFFERINGs OF BROWN IN KANsAs.
The history Of the provoking causes of
Browns Kansas career are thus stated by the
Cleveland Herald:
John Brown had son, f. P Brown, who,
near Easton that winter (55-6), was taken
prisoner by the Missouri rufians3 Ind aapfined
in store Then it was,an express visited
Fort Leavenworth, and Begged that United
States troops might go to tue spot and save
Brown from being murdered. THAT was refu-
sed, and refused too in compliance with posi-
tive orders from Washington What follow
ed ? C;pt f. F. Brown was helpless and
alone in the power of the pro-slavery p !:
that band of ruffans struck Kim, and DG1lbse
to his feet and asked to be permitted to fight
the best man among then-he would fight for
his life-but the towards dared not give him
that chance Brown then dared any two Or
three Of them to fight him, Tut the towards
would notcompy with that request.
Then the tends iii human shape rushed up
on the unarmed, defenseless Brown, and actu-
ally hacked him to pieces with their hatchcts.
A stakeholder, named Gibson, dealt the fatal
blow, buryhg Ratchet in the side of Browns
head, splitting his skull for inches and scatter
ing his brains. Brown fell, and his enemies
jumped upon him while dying, Brown cried
out, DON'T kill mel am dying" and one of
the pro-slavery wrctches-sihce then awarded
with commission as United States Marshal;
stopped over the PROSTATE man and spit to-
bacco juice in his eyes.
Thus died Captain F. p Brown-a Free
state martyr--the son of John Brown-known
as Ossawatomie Brown.
From that time forward the old man dcvo-
ted himself to warfare upon slavery. He be-
came the leading free-state partisan in the
Kansas troubles. lie was the terror of the

reasons given above:

Most Rtr John Hughes, ID. d., Archbp &c. {:
Most Reverend Sir: 1t is now nearly ten
years since, under your auspices, laid down
my ministry in the Protestant Episcopal
Church to submit myself to the Church Of
Rome. The interval, as you know, has not
been idly spent each day has had its re-
sponsbily and duty, and with these have
come experiences, observation, and the knowl
edge of many things not so well understood
before. The result is that feel [ have COM
mittcd grave error, which, publicly made,
should be publicly repaired. When l came
to you it was, as l stated, with deep aud
conscientious conviction that it was necessary
to he in communion with the See of Rome
but this conviction l have not been able to
sustain in face of the fact, that, by it the nat
ural rights of man and all individual liberty,
must be sacrificed, nor only SO, but the prl-
vate conscience often violated and once forced,
by silence at least, to acquiesce III what is OPP
posed to moral truth and virtue. Under these
circumstances, when call to mind how slen-
der is the foundation in the earliest ages of
the church upon which has been reared the
present Papal power, can no longer regard
it as imposing obligations upon me or any one
else do now, therefore, by this act, disown
and withdraw myself from its alleged jursdic-
ton.
remain, most reverend sir,
Your obedient servant,
