few days since soldiers wife, living in
the south part of Macon county, came to
Decatur for the purpose of receiving at
the express Office a package of S400 sent
her by her husband in the army. Being
unable to furnish the proof of her identity,
she was obliged to return without the
money, and was subsequently accompani-
ed by her brothcr-in-law. who furnished
the required proof. On returning home
she placed the money under her pillow
Some time during the night man. whom
she supposed to be n negro, broke open
the door and demanded the money. There
being fire in the fireplace sufficient to
light the room. the woman threw the
money Oh the floor, and as the ruilian
stopped to pick it up. dealt him blow
with poker that broke his neck. The
neighbors were aroused. and on washing
the dead mars face the robber proved to

PnILApAIrruA AND NORTH CAROLINA.
We were Yesterday shown letter from
North Carolina to prominent business
man of this city. The writers for twenty
years have purchased goods in this city,
and paid all their obligations to Philadcl-
phia creditors before the war began. AZ
ter congrAtulating themselves and the
parties they address that the war is nearly
terminated. they state that North Carolina
is far less impoverished than Virgiiia or
Tennessee. Ibey express the belief that
this fall trade will be resumed with Phila-
delphia by all the cities of that state The
relations between Philadelphia and North
Carolina were especially friendly. The
writer's of the letter referred to further de-
clare that Il large amount of Indebtedness
on their part will at an early day be can

and that a great deal of gold, and many
products that at any time command gold,

RATHER TINA ludicrous incident
occurred at "Woodlawn," on tho Bloom.
ingdale road. Jones' Hotel of that place
is ornamented with hostler whose fun
is as fearless as his face is ugly. One
day in January, while twenty or thirty
fast gentlemen were standing on the front
balcony of the hotel an individual rode
up the path on the thinnest horse mortal
eyes ever looked upon. Leaping from
his phantom steed, the equestrian said,
turning to the hostler-
"Hers. John, give my horse some
water"
"Sir ?" said J ohm with look otastonish-
mcnt.
"Give my horse some water !" thunder.
ed the stranger.
"Your horse" calculated John, with
more surprise.
Eyes, you fool, my horse" said the
stranger, looking savagely at him and
commenced drawing the lash of his whip
through bis hand
John walked toward him as though he
would demand an explanation. and had
taken about six steps when he suddenly
stopped like one surprised beyond ex-
preston.
"Bless my SOUL" said he, II ask your
pardon. sir but your animal stood on a
line with that ere hitchin post, and l
didn't see him."
The owner Of the spectral beast tried
to frown. but roar from the balcony
made him change his mind.

sour or butter.milk, add = eggs, small
teaspoon of soda, a little salt and rye
meal, sufficient to make batter that will
spread little, but not run. Drop in
mufiin-rngs with a spoon. For baking
they will require twice the time of com.

BREAD WITHOUT CRusr.-The house.
wife who would bake her bread or biscuit
nithout dry, hard crust, can do so very
readily. Just before placing the bread
IN the oven, she has only to rub its sur.
face with butter or lard. This will close
the pores, prevent the escape Of the gas
which is produced by the yeast, and the
escape Of the steam which is produced by
the moisture Of the heated loaf. Bread
thus baked will be almost crustless.
JELLY CAKE.-Take eggs. beat them
thoroughly; add / cup of sugar, and l
of flour. Stir these veil together, add
teaspoon Of cream Of tartar, and half
teaspoon of soda-the latter dissolved in
a little water. b Ike in two pc-pans.
