AGRICULTURAL.
Preparation Of Chiccory.

As good deal of chccory was grown
the gast season, to be used MS substitute
for coffee, the following directions for pre-
pairing it, from a correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer, may be useful to our readers
When the roots become OF fair size, anv
time during the season, they may DC taken
out as needed for use: but the bulk CT the
crop should be allowed to maintain to full
maturity, when the roots should he lifted
during fair weather, dried upon the ground,
until the dirt will fall oil. When desired to
be worked up for coffee, the roots, Icing
clear Of dirt, either By brushing or washing
them, are sliced in quarters from end to end,
aud then cut across in pieces about an inch
in length. In this shape they are to be
dried much the semc as apples are dried,
each piece of chiccory being about the size
of on apple quarter.
They may be string upon strings and
hung up to dry in the sun or 10y the Kitchen
fire, the same as farmers bry apples; or they
may be exposed to the sun on racks or
wickers, TO betaken in at night. Or, though
not SO good way, except in cases OF nc
cessity, they may be cured in ovens or dry
kins, as apples are sometimes cured
When this first process of curing is ac-
complshed and the roots is wanted for
final use, it is carefully roasted, the same as
coffee, till it will break up in 2 mortar or
grind in mill, after which pounding OF
grinding it IS stepped or drrwn in the usual
way, aud then poured out for table beve.-
age.
In this way ail the work is done in the
family, and the cost of the roots, ready for
the coffee pot, is not more than three or
four cents a pound, while you have a
healthier beverage than ii you went to the
expense OF purchasing imported coffee, with
the additional satisfaction OF feeling that
you are partakirg OF the fruits Of your own
home labor.

sSyN Major Freas of the Germantown
Telegraph, WHO seldom recommends any
thing without being posted, speaks highly
Of the Richmond cherry as the best curly
variety. He also thus refers to the Cata-
wissa raspberry, and We can fully endorse
his opinion from our own experience
the Catuwissa Raspberry.
At the late meeting of the indiana Fruit
Growers Society, the Catawissa raspberry
was recommended for amateurs. This may
be well enough TO begin with, where this
variety is but little known, or where it may
not be as successfully cultivated as herea-
bouts; but where this IS not the case, and
where there Is good market within reach
We venture to say that it will be found to
be very profitable variety for general cult
vation, by cutting away the old vines late in
the fall Or early in the spring, SO as toeie-
pend upon the fall crop alone, when all
other small fruits except grapes, have en-.
tireiy disappeared. From fifty to seventy
live cents quart we should think could bc
readily obtained. The Catawissa, up to
November, when the frost is not too severe
bears abundan.ly and retains its flavor per-
fectly.
the Indiana Society deserves the public
thanks for dragging this variety out from
the obScur,ty where many similar societies
appear to have placed it as unworthy OF
cultivation.

Brigham Young a Copperheud.

A recent visitor Of Brigham Young, the
Mormon chief, gives the following report
of Brigham's views on the state Of the
country
d" You find us" said he trying to live
peacesbly. A sojOurn with people thus
minded must be great relief TO you, who
come from land where brother hath lift
ed hand against brother, and you hear the
confused noise Of the warrior perpetually
ringing in your ears"
Despite the courtly Difference and Scrip
tural dignity Of the speech, I detected in it
latent crow over that ''perished Union, Z"
which was the fsvorite theme Of every
saint met in Utah, and hastened to as
sure the President that had no desire for
relief from sympathy with my country's
struggle for honor and existence.
Ah, he replied in q voice slightly
tinged with sarcasm, You differ greatly,
them from multitudes of your countrymen,
who, since the draft began to be talked of,
have passed through Salt Lake, fying
westward from the crime of their brothers.
blood"
al do indeed"
Still they sre excellent men. Brother
Heber Kimban and myself are every week
invited to address train ofthem down at
Emigraht Square. They are honest peace
full people. You call them copperheads,'
1 believe. But they are real, true, good
men. We find them very truth seeking,
remarkably open to conviction. Many Of
them have stayed with u.s. Thus the Lord
makes The wrath Of man to praise Him.
The Abolitionists-the same people who
interfered with our institutions and drove
Us out into the wildeeness-interfered
with the Southern Institutions till thev
broke up the Union. But it's all coming
out Tight-a great deal better than we
could have arranged it for ourselves.
The men who fee from Abolitionist op.
preston come out here to our ark Of ref
uge, and people the asylum Of Gods
chosen. You'll sll be out here before long.
Your Unions gone forever. Fighting
only makes matters worse. When your
country has become g desolation, we the
saints, whom you cast out, will forget
all your sins against US and give you a
home"

that all orders relsting to the Invalid

This is 3 change Of name which will nc

gallant soldiers Of this corps, and will
greatly increase its present high and well
deserved popularity. Three years Of hard
fighting have given our brave soldiers Of
the Union armies just title to be called
