"The Community have the present
season put up a few thousand cans Of
sweet corn. It was formerly thought
difficult to preserve this article except by
drying. Here, the corn is boiled fifteen
minutes, then sealed in cans, and then
boiled five hours.
Tomatoes, squashes, beans and other
vegetables are put up without syrup of
any kind. Apples are put up in fresh
apPle-juiee, and are thought to be much
better than when put up in water.
"On account of the eOrroding effects
of the acid which most fruits contain, it
is better to preserve them in glass than
in tin; besides in this form they are more
attractive and saleable. Of glass fruit
bottles a great variety is found in market
some of which deserve commendation,
and most of which avoid the necessity
of corking and sealing. They are, how
ever, in general too expensive for those
who put up fruit in large quantities for
sale. For this reason, and because the
Community deem the corking and seal
ing process, which I have attempted to
describe, the most sure plan yet devised,
form of bottle devised by Mr.. Thacker
is much used"
TO MAKE BLACKBERRY WINE.
There is no wine equal to the black
berry wine when properly made, in flavor
or for medicinal purposes, and all per-
sons who can conveniently do SO, should
manufacture enough for their own use
every year, and it is invaluable in sick
ness as a tonic, and nothing is a better
remedy for bowel complaint. Measure
your berries and bruise them; to every
gallon and one quart of boiling water
Let the mixture stand twenty four hours,
stirring occasionally; then strain off the
liquor into the cask; to every gallon add
two pounds of sugar; cork tight and let
it stand till the following October, and
you will have wine ready for use without
further straining or boiling, that will
make lips smack that never smacked
under similar influences before.-Maine

DoN'r MENTION IF-In conversation with
several members of the late 18th Ohio Bat
tery, we got an inkling of the luxurious liv-
ing at the South--that is, providing you can
get the luxuries. As a specimen" there Is
the orange, which is considered one Of the
choicest luxuries at the North. In and about
New Orleans where the 18th was located a
part of its time, nearly all the property hold
ers Of any consequence have orange groves.
These groves are more numerous than
while many of them are as large and pro-
ductive as-apple orchards in the North
And the way the boys went for them, as
they ego for everything il the army, was
not at all surprising. On one evening, in
their camp alone, the boys stated, wore near
ly 400 bushels l-Ju<t irnagiue-a bushel to
the man. Not little scraggy things either,
as we often got here-and are thankful its no
worse-but large luscious fruit-as the boys
expressed it-"that you could eat all day and
not get sick or tired O." or course this plen-
titude makes cheapness. These big, delicious
fellows are sold at fifty cents, and dol
lar a hundred and plenty at that. There
now, don't your mouth orange e?"

Practical Joking.

JOE and Commodore Rogers, brother black
smiths in Whitewater, Wis, have a great
reputation for being practical jokers. Last
summer. Joe bought an old fashioned lash
churn, for the purpose Of manufacturing their
own butter, and as the Commodore was a
widower and lived with joe all such work
as chnrning, naturally fell to him. One day
after supper, the first cLurniug was got ready.
and the Commodore was invited to churn.
Hold on" says he, "till 7 90 down and
get some terbacker."
He went, and while gone Joe did the
churning: and took out the butter, and left
the butter-mik in the churn.
The Commodore, returned, looked at the
churn, took or his coat and said "Weal
old churn, its you and I, and here's for We I"
and commenced his labor. After churning
couple Of hours, he remarked that he guessed
it would becheaper to buy butter than to make
it. I think so too, says Joe, ''if you are go
ing to churn it out Of that butter-makI"
A few days after the churning process, Joe
put one end Of small bar Of iron into the
forge FIRE, and gave his bellows three or four
pumps, and stepped into the back shop
While gone, the Commodore heated the iron
10 a black heat. then reversed the ends, and
stepped out Of the door to watch the pro-
gress.
In came joe, took up the iron, bat drop
ping it instanter, holding up his burned hand
and roared with pain. Put on some butter
milk, Joe-its good Cor a burnr' said the
Commodore, as he made a mastery retreat

ners, hard coal, and old horse shoes

The Way People are Taxed,

THE Abolition concern over the way
is getting quite alarmed at the idea that
the Democratic party is going to make
the question of taxing the Federal Sc
curities an issue in the coming campaign.
1t is endeavOring to get up the old cry
of rebellion, conspiracy, &C., against the
Democracy, thinking thereby to draw
the attention of the industrial classes
from the gigantic fraud perpetrated upon
their rights by an Abolition Congress-
But we would suggest to The Journal
that this hue and cry has been used so
long by its party that it has lost its
charm and become quite threadbare, and
the humber classes of the people will
demand some more satisfactory reasons
why they are compelled to bear more
than their just share of the burden Of
taxation.
To show what effect the exemption Of
the Government Bonds, will have on
future taxation we will take the city Of
Dayton as an illustration.
The taxable property of Dayton, real
and personal, is about ten million dollars
and according to a statement made in
The Journal some four or five weeks ago
there we're then held in the city nearly
three million dollars in Government
Bonds. As the loan has been in the
market since that time up to the present,
we think it safe to put down the amount
now invested in this city at three and
one-third million dollars, being one-third
of the taxable property of the city Of
Dayton.
Thus, for example, poor man who
will be now compelled to pay thirty dol
lars taxes on his property, would, il
these bonds were taxed the same as other
property, have to pay only twenty dol.
lars, or tWo-thirds of what he will now be
compelled to pay; while the rich man
having his money invested in these bonds
bearing seven and thres-tenths per cent
interest, is exempt from taxation, which
is equivalent to about ten per cent. And
he who needs the most protection from
the Government, escapes from paying fol
that protection, while the poor man i:
taxed to protect him.-DGytOn Empire

THE following description of the mode
of putting up fruit by the Oneida Com
munity is copied from their organ, the
Circular
"The fruit is suitably prepared by
hulliDg, asserting, or pairing and cutting,
as the case demands; and in most in
stances, is Immediately placed in clean
glass bottles, filling them full and, when
such fruit as peaches, pears, ounces,
etc., are cut in large pieces, it is best to
take some pains to crowd the fruit into
the bOttle-Otherwise the heating process
will not leave the bottle properly filed
with fruit.
"Nezt prepare a syrup of melted re-
fined or white sugar, and pour into the
bottles by the following rule: Allow
six ounces of sugar in sugar in one gal
lon Of water, and give one-half pint Of
the syrup thus produced to one quart
bottle of fruit. This rule is adapted to
the strawberry, cherry, peach and other
similar fruits. More acid fruits, like the
current, require greater proportion Of
sugar. Sugar, for a few years, and
especially the present season, has been
so high that the temptation has been fOI
those who put up fruit for sale to make
the proportion of sugar much less than
the above rule requires, and some parties
have acknowledged that they had re-
duced the quantity ofsugart to three ounces
for one quart of fruit. Fruit put up in
air tight vessels will, of course, keepjust
as well without sugar as with it, but it is

Low NeOked Dresses,

The low neck dresses Of the ladies are
the theme of small jokes by certain
" lewd fellows of the baser Sort" who
might be in better business. In our
opinion it is with the ladies a matter of
taste, of which they might be allowed to
judge at discretion; the wits who would
ridicule them are the men who had bet
ter look at home, and as they live in glass
houses abstain from throwing stones. If
they don't like to see the ladies, let them

the world have easier times than themen

" The hours of meeting" says cur Phila-
delphia correspondent, are very irregu-
lar. The general hours are from II in
the morning to 2 in the afternoon. Many
