Fun AT HoME.-I advise you not be afraid
OF little fun at home good people. Don't
shut your houses lest the sun should fade your
carpets, and your hearts lest hearty laugh
shake down some musty old cobwebs there, ~
If you want to ruin your SONS, let them think.
that all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, when they come
home at night When once home is REL,
gardedas only place to- eat drink and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends in the gamb-
ling house and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation some,
where; if they do not find it at their OWE
hearthstones, it will be sought at other and
less profitable places ssa .33
Therefores let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the homestead delightful with alI
those little arts which parents so perfectly un-s
derstand Do not repress the buoyant spirits
Of your children Half an hour of merriment
round the lamp and fre-sidc Of home, blots
out the remembrance of many care and an,
noyance during the day, and the best safes
guard they can take with them into the world,
is the influence of bright little domestic
circle.

sour wine. Cider making should be conduct
ed with all the care that wine making is
Most any good sour apple will make cider
but more generally an apple full of juice and
not very good to eat, will make the best
The Virginia crab, perhaps, excels all other
apples for cider making.
When bottled up with little rock candy
and wired, it will, after standing sometime,
sparkle like champagne when opened. To
get cider very strong, expose it in tub in
extremely cold weather and remove the ice
that forms. AS this can be only water it
leaves the cider that remains of additional
strength. Any substance put in to arrest the
fermentation is of doubtful value, as all good
cider must be perfectly fermented. to be healthy.
You had better depend rather on careful and
clean making, and bottle tightly at the prop
er time.
WINE MAKING.
Pick the grapes off the stems when fully
ripe, rejecting the bad ones. Pass them
through the wine mill to tear open the skins,
but not to bruise the pulp. Press moderate
ly, then get all that remains in the must to
make brandy or inferior sour wine Of Strain
and fill into clean barrels; then insert a bent
tube tight in the bung, and let the lower (out-
side) end rest under the surface of water in
a bucket, so that while all the gas shall es-
cape, the air will not get to the wine When
it has done fermcnting, rack it off into clean
barrels, bung it up and set in a cool place
bottle it in few months The great secret
of making good wine is to select only the best
grapes and not press out the sour portion OF
the pulp.
Nothing is here said about the numerous
mixtures of water, sugar and grape juice
which are frequently concocted and sold un,
der the name of wine, but only to the pure
juice of the grape, properly fermented.

Cemetery laid out at Anderson
.+ willie. ..i

Captain James M Moore, A. @. NJ, who
left here on the Sth of July last for Anderson
vile, for the purpose of giving decent burial
to the remains of our murdered heroes, re-
turned to this city this forenoon, having sue
cessfully accomplished the object of his visit
The Captain reports that he arrived at An
Jacksonville on the 25th ult, after having ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in procuring
transportation for himself and his party Of
mechanics and clerks The work of painting
and lettering the headboards was Immediately
commenced. and occupied near the whole
time Of the party's stay. There were thirteen
Thousand neat head boards set up, all properly
settled, giving the names and, as far as known,
tGhe regiments and companies of the deceased
The Captain found the graves nearly all
marked with a neatly .polnt n stake and num-
bered. The numbers on the stakes cor.es-
ponded with the record kept in the hospital
of the prison, giving the names Of those
buried The cemetery is about fifty acres in
extent and nearly three hundred yards from
the stockade. The dead were buried in
trenches, in many cases over hundred in a
trench. Mounds were erected over each body,
thus forming graves. A neat white fence
has been built around the cemetery, and the
| place made to look as inviting as possible
Pleasant walks are being laid out, which are
to be shaded by such tress as are indigenous
to that region. Captain M says the country
for miles around Andersonville is almost de-
void ofverdure of all kinds, except rank weeds
and stunted pines and live oaks. The eli
mate he considers extremely unhealthy, the
heat being intense during the day, and the
heavy dews falling at night penetrating the
tents of the party and saturating their blann
kets. Just before the party left flagstaff
was planted, and the national colors thrown
to the breeze. A trustworthy superintendent
has been appointed to take care of the ceme-
terry, and perfect the ideas of Captain Moore.
A sufficient guard has been placed over the
grounds by Gen. Wilson, commanding the
military forces in that region, and every care
is to be taken that the remains of our braves
shall rest undisturbed. There were within
the inclosure of the stockade sheds about
fifty yards in length, and eighteen feet in
width There were no sides to these so called
tenements but they were merely upright
poles supporting roof The stockade with
all the buildings, are to remain standing I'M
til they fall by decay as fit monuments of the
crimes committed within their limits. Miss
Clara Barton, the Philanthropist, who ac-
companied the expedition for the purpose of
collecting evidence of the whereabouts of our
missing men, returned with Captain Ms
party. One of the party, a clerk, died from
typhoid fever, and was buried in the cemetery.
There are about four hundred buried by the
rebels of whom no record was kept, and con-
sequently their remains could not be identi-
fed Only one body was found unburied, the
rest having been inferred in the trenches.

HeAp At Printers Festival at Boston late
, the following canital toast wac drank.

ly, the following capital toast was drank:
The EDlToR-The man that is expected to
know everything; tell all he knows, guess at
the rest; to make his own character good, es-
tablish the reputation of his neighbors, and
elect all candidates to Office; to blow up
everybody, and reform the whole world; to
live for the benefit of others, and have the
epitaph upon his tombstone-"Here he lies at
last" !" in short, he is locomotive running on
the track of public notoriety; his lever is his
pen, his boiler is filled with ink his tender is
his scissors; his driving wheel is public opin-
ion; and whenever he explodes it is caused
by the non-payment of subscriptions.

A Coon INVENTION. Among all the i'm
provements in modern mechanism, says the
Chicago Tribune, the art of horseshoing has
met with little advancement The old fash
ioned way of mailing the shoe to the hoof,
with all its attendant evils, remains in vogue,
We have just been shown n horseshoe in
vented by Thomas Shelton, of Rockford, ILL.,,
which will be very likely to work complete
revolution in the practice of horseshoeing
The shoe consists of a hinged plate, with four
OR five little fianges or projections extending
up on the outside of the horses hoof clasp
ing it like SO many little fingers, making a
neat and perfectly effective attachment to the
hoof On the bottom of this hinged plate the
sole of the shoe, so to speak, or the part that
comes in contact with the ground, is fastened
by strong set screws, whereby the Hanged
plate is held firmly to the foot, the whole max
ing handsome, easy and durable shoe,
which can be easily put on and taken off, and,
instead of endangering the hoof after the
manner of the old fashioned nailed hoof. is an
absolute preserver Of the hoof, adapted to
those that are split, tenderior thin, as well as
all Others.
The shoe is made of malleable iron, and
can be manufactured at cost of fifteen cents
per pound, and being SO economical, safe and
labor saving, we do not see what will prevent
its speedily coming into general use. ) q
Dr. G. H. Dadd, the celebrated veterinary
surgeon, on examining the shoe, gave it his
hearty Endorsement, and says: II consider it
one Of the most valuable and perfect pieces
of mechanism of the kind ever invented"
One of our NEST enterprising horse owners
is having his horses shod with this shoe.
