THE BEST LEMON Pie Take TIVE
lemons, five eggs, two spoonfuls Of
melted butter, and eight of white sugar.
Squeeze'the juice of all the lemons, and
CRATE or chop. finely the rind of one.
Stir together the yolks of three eggs,
and whlteof one, with the sugar, butter,
juice, and rind; beat well then add
one coffee cup of good sweet cream
(some use half cream and half milk. J
Beat all for minute or two. Have
ready aplate lined with pastry into
which pour the mixture, which will be
sufficient for two pies of the ordinary
size. Bake till the pastry is done
meanwhile beat the remaining whites
of eggs to a stiff froth, and stir in four
spoonfuls of white sugar; take the pies
from the oven and spread over equal
parts upon each, and return them quickly
to the oven, and bake delicate brown.
Take care that the oven be not too hot,
or they will brown too quickly, before
the egg is set sufficiently, which will
cause the pie to fall when taken from
the oven. This is beautiful looking
pie, and in my opinion, and that of 9TH
ers, the best lemon pie made.-Anaeri-
can Agricasltasrist.

A Thousand Weeds at one Pull.

"A single pigweed Chenopodiatns al
buna) if left undisturbed, will ripen
more than 10000 seeds, each capable
of producing a successor. The seeds
of the dock, sometimes number over
$4,000 on single plant, and the toad
fax tLinaria vulgaris) leaves provis-
ion for more than 5000 plants the
following year. Burdock will multiply
81, 900 fold, and the common singing
nettle { Urtica dioica) ripens 100000
seeds. Scarcely weed comes to ma
turity without scattering from 1000 to
10000 or more seeds to injure crops and
annoy the cultivator. This is not mere
guess work, pains-taking Investigators
have actually counted and calculated
the increase A single pull at the COM
mencement of the season, will destroy
the wholeprogeny. Ia F{fT
1t should be remembered that seeds
mature sufficiently to vegetatesbefore
they are perfectly dry and again, that
the seeds are ripe OH part OF the plant
while there are flowers on another.
Hence it is not safe to wait until the
flowers are all gone, before pulling up
the weeds. Attack them before they
blossom. Pull them up, or, if ANIMALS,
cut them of when quite green and
spread them in the sun to die. He
who allows the weeds to grow in the
potatoe field until he harves,s the crop,
is quite sure to SOW many millions OF
seeds for next years trouble. , AzatC
This much for annual and BIENNIAL
weeds. Perennials, like the dock, daisy
and thistle, should be treated with
greater vigor. Cutting off the tops
once will not suffice. Digging them
up one by one, root and branch, is the
only effectual remedy. Where they
have invaded whole field, pillow the
land in the Fall, leaving many of the
roots exposed to the action of the Win
ter's frost. Pillow again in the Spring,
taking pains to pick up and carry of
every root that appears. Devote the
soil to some hoed crop, and let it be re-
peatedly and thoroughly cultivated
through the Summer, waging war upon
the pests without any relenting. Ii
they are cut off 6eloac ground several
times in the Summer, they will grow
weaker ut i; every decapitation. The
leaves being the lungs of plants, are es-
sential to their breathing, and if this
important operation be stopped, they
must soon give up the ghost. Remem-
Der, every determination of weed this
year, is the death of q thousand of the
future crop.

BALTIMORE, Nov. l3.--From an officer
just come up, we gather the following addl-
tional particulars
None of our vessels were sunk. The
Pawnee lost six killed and two wounded,
and suffered more injury than any other,
but was not disabled. A round shot went
through her wardroom.
The Wabash had her mainmast badly
hurt with round shot.
The Pocahontas had one man injured.
The engineer of the Mohican was badly
wounded and the chief killed. 5zIGA
When our troops took possession of the
Forts, they found the flag flying on the Fort
on Hilton Head.
The rebels had mined the works and fixed
the halyards of the flag so that when the
flag should be drawn down, the mine would
be sprung. The haiyards sprung a mine in
the house used by the officers, but did very
little damage, and hurt no one. The mag
azines did not explode.
A large quantity of powder was found !
also large amount of English ammunition
and projectiles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Six regiments of
infantry, two batteries, and three companies
of cavalry under General Hentzleman, made
a reconnaissance to-day as far as Occoquan
Creek. 1
Capt Todd's company of Lincoln cavalry,
who went in the direction of Burke's
Station, were sent out to make g recon
noisance in advance of the infantry. When
several miles in front of the division. they
were surrounded by a large number Of the
rebels, who had been concealed in the woods.
A skirmish ensued. The cavalry cut their
way through with loss of three killed, one
wounded, and three prisoners, including, it
is supposed, Lieut.. Todd, who had ventured
some ways in advance of his command.
Generals Halleck and Buell. leave to-
morrow for the West to enter upon their
