lime in; add water quickly. When the lime is
well boiled, having assisted that operation BY
frequent stirring, add tar, (the heat of the boil

that every part of the lime is intimately mixed
with the tar; then add sharp sand or crushed
clinker, and stir it well as before; after which,
in about twenty hours, it will be ft for use.
Tar and lime may also be used, in order 70

it to fne powder; boil the tar for about half
an hour, and then add about one pint of hot
lime powder to . gallon of tar, and boil it about
half an hour longer, stirring i: all the while.

MOZART HosEsrY.-Great dissatisfaction is felt
in the Mozart Camp, with the manner in which
Judges Hoffman and Woodruff were sold out on elec-
ton day. A resolution had been adopted accepting
the above gentlemen candidates, because they had
been adopted as the Union nominees, and few days
after committee waited upon both the Judges pre-
senting bill officially signed, to defray expenses of
printing and circulating votes The amounts were
duly paid to Mr.. Mckinney, the collector and Mr..
Thompson, the Mayors private secretary, brought
over to the Superior Court package Of Mozart
Hall tickets intended for distribution among private
friends Of the candidates AS it got rumored that
fraud was being enacted, q friend waited on the
Mayor who assured the nqurers that the candidates
were giving themselves unnecessary ALARM On
Sunday il was ascertained however, that the order
for printing the Judiciary tickets with the names Of
Hoffman and Woodruff had been countermanded,
and that none would be issued. To the astonish-
ment Of the friends of Judges Woodruff and Hoif.
man, not a ticket bearing their names could be
found, on election day, in any of the Mozart Hall
tcket-boxes. When their tickets were attempted to
be placed in the boxes, the men in charge refused to
take them, the ground that they had received or
ders not to do 30 from headquarters. The rank and
file had falsely been led to believe that the
menis were not paid and hence the dropping of the
names.

To POULTRY PRODUCERS ASD SHIPPERs.-We
have several times given the readers Of The TRIB-
usE valuable information about preparing poultry
for market in nearly the following language, but we
find that some of them want it repeated again.
"By particular request, for this once only" we
give the desired information just in time for the large
shipmcnts that will he made for Thanksgiving aud
Christmas.
The difference between fat and lean poultry is
great enough to INDUCE every sensible person to see
that every bird is fat before it is killed If you are
buying and shipping never buy lean bird, nor one
reanly dressed. Such often sell at half the price OF
good ones.
Lean birds may be bought by the pound and fed
with profit. The greatest Losses ever suffered by
shippers have been upon poultry entirely unit for
market.
Birds are only economically fed when full fed.
Corn makes the best looking and sweetest meat
Never kill a bird with full crop. 1t Injuries the
sae and makes loss instead of gain on the weight
of tho CROP and leads the buyer to think Of the feeder
as a cheat.
The best mode Of killing particularly turkeys and
geese, is to hang the birds by the heels to rope
stretched across yard, and then bleed them by an
incsion of penknife blade in the neck. If heads
are to be cut Off of any birds, first draw the skin of
the neck back tightly and atterward bring forward
and tie il over the stump.
Keep the skin whole and smooth as posaiblei the
intestines must not be drawn.
The water for sealding should be nearly boiling
hot dip the poultry in, and raise it out two or three
times, rs to scad evenly, then pick off all the
quils feathers and pin-feahers as quick as possible
without breaking the skin. Don't rub them of, as
that rubs of the thin outside skin which Injuries the
sale. Next, Immediately before it coos, dip it into
clean hot water hold it in but few seconds, then
suddenly dip il into cold water for few seconds
more. then hang or lay it up to cool and dry. BE
careful to arrange tho legs and wings smoothly. and

THE FOURTH SEsAToRIAL DIsTRIcr.-A good
deal of surprise has been expressed at the smsness
of the vote received by the Hon. Francis Il. Tillou,
Union candidate for Senator 10 the Iyth District,
especially as the nomination actually forced upon
him, aud his acceptance Of it involved no little per-
sonal sacrifice. We learn that, the day Of cleo
tion tickets bearing his name were placed in the
boxes nesr the polling places, although he was pre-
vousy assured by the managers that all the arrange
ments had been effected for that purpose. Hence the
voters were led to believe that he had declined. II
is evident therefore, that a shameful fraud wal
practiced upon him by those who put him in nomina
tion probably In furherance of some miserable trade
for votes on some other candidate. The transaction
rejects the highest dscredt upon those engaged in
il. When gentleman of Mr.. Tilou's social stand
ing consents TO sacrifice his personal interests in the
public behalf, he has right to expect that he will
be dealt with in On honorable manner. We believe,
had those who put him in nomination fulfilled Their
obligations, he would have been trumphsntly
elected.

tensively in the business Of conveying letters and
dispatches between the North and South, and he'd
in his possession when he arrived here, some three
weeks since, about 300 letters, which he had

meas. Superintendent Kennedy received intelligence
Of the prisoners arrival and the business iu which
he was engaged about ten days ago, but he deter
mined to wait until Maury bad gathered mp the let
ters which he intended to convey South, and then
seize him just as he was leaving the city with all the
evidences Of his treason upon him. To this end an
officer was put upon his track and finally the day of
bis intended departure was ascertained. Bat it
seems Maury suspected that be was being closely
watched, and left the city one day sooner than the
officers anticipated. The direction he had taken was
at once ascertained however, and dispatches were
sent West to have the culprit apprehended on his
journey. The result WAS, he was arrested in CIevc
land on Friday, and returned 70 this city without
delay, and is safely lodged in Fort Lafayette.
IL is said that many OF the letters found upon the
prisoner strongly implicate some of our prominent
public men as being sympathizers with the Rebels.

ESTHER MCDOWELL.
A SINGULAR STORY

j. F. Meginnis, in his history of the
West Branch Valley, relates the follow
ing history of a successful imposition
practiced upon the people of Jersey Shore
in 1908:
"About the year 1903, a remarkable
circumstance Transported at the upper end
of the borough Of Jersey Shore, well re-
membered by all the old people living at
that time Pine trees in considerable
numbers, were then standing on the spot

Martin Reese, had built a cabin near
where the public road crosses the canal,
on the farm now owned by Mark Slona.

Rising very early one frosty morning in
October, he was surprised to find beau

hands tied behind her back, and a gag
over her mouth, standing in front of the
cabin, against tree. lie relieved her,
from her uncomfortable position as soon
as possible, and rendered her the hospi.

bpck from her fathers house in Montreal,
to visit an uncle that resided in Ken
tucky, in charge of a young man named
Benjamin Connect, who was sent express
ly TO attend her. But having a large
amount of gold in her possession, an evil
spirit prompted him to rob her; and in a
lonely spot near Pine Creek, he presented
n pistol to her breast, compelling her to
dismount and deliver up what money she
possessed when he Immediately strips
ped her, tied he: in this shameful condi-
J ton, to starve with hunger or be devour-
ed by wild beasts. She had remained in
that condition nearly all night, when af-
tel desperate effort, she had released
herself and made her way to the cabin
After being refreshed, she willingly vent
with the family to the spot, and pointed
out the place where she had been tied,
and the path she had beaten round the
tree trying TO free herself
There. was something artless in her ap-
pearance and her modest demeanor and
delicate frame, left no doubt in the minds
of those who saw her, that her statements
were true, and that she had been foully
dealt with. She appeared to be over
whelmed with distress at the thought Of
her situation among strangers. She gave
her name as Esther Mcdowell.
Rev. Mr.. Grier, father of Judge Grier Of
the Supreme Court, resided close by, and
took her into his family, and kindly pro-
