VISEcAR.-Every family make its own
vinegar. The Maine Farmer publishes the
receipt for making it, furnished by lady.
She took the parings and cores Of apples,
poured on boiling water, with little mo-
lascs yeast, put all into large stone jar
and kept where it was moderately warm.
In three weeks it was good sharp vinegar.

next trip to North Iowa will be more
pleasant:

And having found none-Oh! who, then, wod blame

In tho FIRST place Tn sick Of the travelling "Bx":
A man in good house can not show hts "phix''
And shove out his pasteboard but he'll get this

And although we oil say We are eae doing well.
Devil take it-pork : doscs, and its duller than

There's no use Of talking-we move to the next,
And get the same sermon from the vs-y same text
Occasionally varied with Business is i'm;
There . another guerrilla-we'l soon settle him:

For Pork Is away down and its duller than-Tophet r

Aud for trying to sell them We only get cursed,
So again say "darn it-of the trade I've had none,
But bless God for ono thing-Im on my way home; !"
So TO some or other, my samples I'll sell,
And don't care cent ii It's dullcr than-Tophet!

Judge Williams is about to retire from the
bench, giving way to His Honor Judge
Milo McGlathery, the newly-elcct. We
welcome Judge Milo to the place assigned
him by the people, and trust he will be as
successful in winning the good opinion Of
both lawyers and parties as has his sue
cessor. We think Judge Williams ought
to have sort of social farewell from the
bar, but we knoU that he not only does not
desire such evidence Of regard, but that he
would earnestly regret any such movement.
The legal brotherhood have the disposition,
Judge, to give you a rousing old time; but
of course your wishes must yet rule the
bar!

No rApER.-The Ners hands take Hol-
iday Christmas week, the TINES boys do
their playing on New Years week. Con-
sequcntly this issue of the TINES must last
the reader till January 9th. 1867. There
are properly only SO weeks in printers
year. The business is very combining ono
and there should be an occasional playweek
to recuperate. Holidays and the fourth
should always lie kept sacred from labor.
Hoping that our readers will "rather like
our omission for one week, and not caring
a copper for the growls of those who don't
like it, we have the honor to wish you all
pleasant trip through 1867!

Woods Theater.

w O00's Vheater.
Barnum wrote q letter to the Chicago
Tribune indorsing Col. Woods Theatre and
Museum in Chicago. That institution
does not need Barnums Endorsement out
this way. All the Hawkeyes know that
the Col. keeps the incest, cosicst temple Of
amusement that Chicago ever saw. His
Museum is worth $40 sight, and to look
it over would require week ut least, and
then the writer would DO reluctant to leave.
His theatre is No. l; the actors are what
is called stock" in stage parlance, but
we have seen many " stars" " that would
"pale their Intellectual fires" before such
accomplished players MS Aiken, McManus,
LIE Moyne, Stoneall, Barry, Axtcl, Hight,
and others. We mean by accomplished
the proper conception Of the part and the
ability to render it in an easy, natural way
without froth or foolery. Hamlet, in his
advice to the players, tells hor and Colonel
Woods folks come up to the instructions of
the Prince Of Denmark. We always 70 to
Woods when in Chicago, because we like
the proprietor, like the actors, the plays
are nice, and free from low, filthy wit; be-
cause We can get dollars worth of paint
ings, statuary, birds, monkeys, scenes, In
dian relics, the Last Supper, the Trial of
Jesus, &c., &C., in the Museum before the
play begins, and because JERRY, the best
door.keeper in the world, says in so friend

Just as this point Mr.. Winter came in.
| Upon being introduced to the lion of the
evening, he shook hands cordially, and
made some remark about the pleasure he
anticipated in entertaining him at his own
house.
But" said the minister. blushing, "as |
was saying to Mrs. Winter-I am afraid
you don't understand that .here are two of

blank astonishment "You don't mean to

here all these girls were setting their caps
for you !"
At this announcement the "girls" looked
supremely ridiculous Mr. Odcnheimer was
evidently much embarrassed Mrs. Winter
buried her face in her handkerchief to con-
ceal her modification the widow looked on
in amazement, wondering why the knowl-
edge of his possessing q wife should create
such u scene and Mr. Wintcr-thc only one
in the company who was at all calm-seized
his new friend by the hand as he observed:
"To be sure we have room for two, we
shall be right glad to see your wife; and
tell you what it is, you have done well in
losing no time about this thing. Here have
| been married these forty years." Cat this
point the two daughters exchanged looks,
and wished that pa would keep some things
to hmself;O II know what it is, and l
would advise every young man to get wife
as soon as possible"
This hearty speech seemed to have the
desirable effect of putting the new minister
at his ease and it gave Mrs Winter time to
recover herself so far as to be able to say
and do what was expected of her on the
occasion.
That evening the false curls were care
! fully placed in box, with a sigh, and put
I away for more important occasion--should
such ever occur. The Haunting red ribbons
were looked upon mournfully as useless
| expense, while Sarah James white dress as
| laid aside without u word-her feelings were
! too deep for utterance.
We have only to add that the bride won
her own way among the inhabitants of
! Flowerdale; but there was none ot that
eagerness exhibited for the society of the
new couple, which the idea of a single min
lister had drawn forth so enthusiastically.
