To CURE HAMs-Loss OF WEIGHT
John G. Bishop, Fond du Lac. Wis, writes:
Il have never failed of having most excel

the shoulders are equally good, only fatter:
Rub the hams thoroughly around the bone
with salt, using the best quality. To four
pals water add one quart molasses. six
quarts salt. and one tablespoonful saltpetre:
they should remain in this pickle covered,
FIVE weeks. Cobs are preferable to any 9TH
or article to smoke with; sack and white
wash, and you will have first quality hams
the year round. In packing my pork last
fall, it occurred to me to ascertain how
much is lost by smoking hams. 7 cut out
ham which weighed 244 lbs. After tax
a.: :ag from the pickle, in which it had remained
some 5 weeks. il weighed 254 lbs. To-day,
one months after smoking, it weighs 221 lbs,
having lost over pounds. A barrel OF
side pork weighing 200 lbs. that packed,
freed from bone and mos of the lean meat,
on being reweighed had gained pounds.

1t was while this affecting document was
being read to the army. my boy, that pro-
cession of political chaps with banners and
small cannon landed from boat on Awl-
kwyet river, and came fling affably into
camp. Only pausing to insult two cores
pondents of the Iribune, and to FIRE the can
non so close to farm house that it broke
all the windows. these pleasant chaps at once
organized meeting and gave orders that
all fighting should be postponed until after
the session.
The Hon. Mr.. x. Stream proceeded to say
that he considered Mr. Lincoln strictly
honest, upright, able and noble hearted man,
(eheers, but it could not be denied that his
Administration was wretched failure-a
blending of british imbeeility with hellish
despotism. CMuch enthusiasm.) While
it continued so, everything in the stock
market would go up-ap-UP until the
bubble burst The General of the Mackerel
Brigade had been removed, universal sob
bing, but it was only that he might shine
the brighter before Democratic Couven-
ton in 1865.
The Hon. Prince Van Brummagen next
spoke. Undoubtedly he would be called a
traitor fer what he was about to say, but he
was accustomed to that sort of talk from
every Que who knew him. He wished to
see this war vigorously pushed forward; but
he never could consent to see violence Of
fered to men who only warred against US
because they were mistaken. Our South
ern friends bad imagined that the Adolf
tionists wanted to prevent their enjoyment
of the pursuit of happiness which was
guaranteed to them by the Constitution.
| They were mistaken, and seeded. The

but was undoubtedly somewhere on the

would come round to US in due time.

his thoughts to the meeting. AS proprie-
tor of the City of New York. which he had
frequently bought, he protested against the
removal Of the General Of the Mackerel
Brigade at this Indictment season of the year
The Idolized General was beloved even by
the rebels, and his own devoted troops had
cheered even louder when parting with him
if possible. than when he bad first come
among them.
