CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HOSPITALS
AND SICK SOLDIERS.

SANITARY COMMISSION RooMs,l
Cincinnati, June Goth, 1852.
As the season for putting up fruit is
rapidly advancing, this Commission
would urge the importance of liberal
supply being prepared. and in a safe
manner for transportation.
From the experience Of the past year,
we are able to make some suggestions
as to the best manner of putting up
md forwarding such delicacies.
CANNED FRUIT.
There need be no fear of sending too
many Blackberries, Raspberries, Peach
es and Cherries. 1t is better to put
them in tin cans, carefully soldered.-
Glass is too apt to break, but stone
jars, glazed on the inside. answer
well, where tin is not convenient
Great care, however, is necessary, to
have the jars perfectly sealed, and
packed by themselves in boxes. The
Blackberry crop promises to be very
abundant this season, and it is desira-
bic that an extra quantity of this
hssltby fruit be put up in the various
tOrns Of canning, drying, and jam.
DRIED FRUITS.
Apples, Peaches, Blsckberries, Cher
rles, Raspberries, de-, have also been
ased IN large quantities, and we have
never found we had too many.
JELLIEs.
Current Jelly, Ounce, Grape and
Crabapple Jellies, are most needed:
but great care should be taken in pack.
ing. Large boxes should never be
used, and small jars are preferable to
tumblers, on account of their not break
ing so easy. The jars should be pack
ed with top up, and the boxes marked:

her child in the world for more than
eight weeks, not having seen fire, and
having lived and sustained herself on
raw potato's. During that period che
lost two children by starvation. She is
now, as well as the child, mere skee.
ton, and can speak only just above
whisper, from extreme weakness. No
conception car figure the vast number
which have been murdered, but it must
tar exceed the general estimate BY the
public. The foraging party which
brought in Mrs. Boelter, buried A. bod

have been massacred. Doubtless hun
dreds that have been slain and left u,on
the surface will never be found, as de-
composition is nearly complete, and the
prairie fires now rayaging the whole up
per country will consume what may yet
remain to identify human body. Hun
dreds, no doubt, have gone to their long
home, OF whom no tidings will ever
reach the ear of anxious friends and en-.
curing relations.
