are superior 10 all others for the following reasons:
/ hey sew direct from the spools, and require no
rewinding of thread. ~

less liable to arrangement than other machines

chahge OF adjustments much greater variety of work
than other machines.

into very large aud clean stone jar.
Never use earthen-ware, to hold any

Have ready four pounds of the finest

best rum or brandy. Pour it into the
jar that contains the orange, juice; stir
the mixture we'll, and add the yellow
rind Of the oranges, cutirto little slips
Cover the jar, and let it stand four
days; stirring it frequently Then
take gallon of new, unskimmed milk,
(the mornings milk of that day,) boil
it, and when it has come to hard
boil, pour it, hot, into the MIXTURE
Cover it closely, and let it stand till it
gets quite cold Then strain it into
another vessel, through linen Jelly

and will continue good for many years.
To use it, mix sufficient quantity

persons, to increase the strength of
orange syrup, add the yellow rind of
the oranges grated on Jumps of the su-
gar. This will do very well if the syr
up Is to be used up soon. But by long
keeping, the peel will give it very
disagreeable taste and odor, rasem-
bling turpentine; uniting it for all
purposes.
Lemon syrup may be made as above.
TO this the addition of tho yellow rind
OF the lemons grated on sugar will be
an Improvement, as lemon rind never
acquires turpentine taste.

Base BALL-CHAsGE N IHE RCLEs.
The committee on rules of the Ma
tional B. b. Association, report that
an error occurred in printing Rule
10, as now observed, and report the
following as correct, aud to govern
sll play this year:
See. 10. If a batsman strike ball
on which lone bslr' has been called,
no player can make run, on such a
strike; nor can any player make a
base il the batsman strikes ball on
which two balls" have been called;
and if he strikes a ball on which
q three balls" have been called, no
more than one base can be made by
any player occupying q base; in the
latter event, however the batsman
shall be entitled TO one base. If he
strikes 8 bail on which a ball has
been called, then Sections 8 and 9 OF
the Rules shall apply. In either case
the ball shall be considered dead and
not in play until settled in the hands
of the pitcher, and in either case
shall be considered q strike. If the
batsman willfully strikes at ball
out OF fair reach of his bat for the
purpose of striking out, it shall not
be considered strike.

that the players were full grown men
and had no need to "plead the baby

BoQUETs.-Ths following may be
OF interest 10 the ladies, particularly
to the ones who are blessed with
d" fellers" in the flower age of love:
When you receive boquet, sprin-
kle it lightly with fresh water; then
put it in a vessel containing soap
suds; this will nutrify the stem and
keep the flowers as bright as new.
Take the boquet out Of the suds every
morning and lay 1t sideways (the
stock entering first into clean water,
keep it there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly by the hand with water re-
place it in the soap suds, and it will
bloom as fresh ss when first gather.
ed. The soap suds need changing
every three or four days. By observ-
ing these rules boquet may be kept
bright and beautiful for at least a
month, and will last still longer in q
very passable state; but attention TO
the fair creatures, as directed above,
must be observed, or all will perish.

TOLEDO & CoLCMBus r. RIVE
gave the whole Of the proceedings ol
the meeting held in Toledo, July
10th, in our last weeks issue. The
Convention was we'll attended and
the best OF feeling manifested. 1t is
said to have been the largest gather
ing of the kind ever held in Ohio,
and undoubtedly was from the fact
that fire different routes were repre-.
scented.
A meeting was called of the citi-
zens of Toledo and Columbus to
meet in Toledo on the 18th inst, to
appoint incorporators of the road.
who after forming the organization
are to employ a corps Of competent
engineers TO survey the different
routes, the expenses of said surveys
to be borne by persons directly in.
terested in them.
The people of Toledo are in earn.
est in this railroad and determin-
ed it shall be built, and at TO dis
tant day. The question Of which
route rests mainly with the peo-
pie along the proposed lines
That is the line that is the most
liberal in taking hold of the matter,
in the way of means, will get the
road. The feeling in favor of line
that shall intersect Hancock county
and strike Flndlay Is very manifest
in the minds OF all interested In the
road, and necessarily so from the
fact that it is the most feasible, opens
up the best country, and as conse-
quence would be the bestfor the road
in the way of local business.
The counties north and south OF
US are doing their utmost for this
route and it only remains for us to
do our duty and work for our inter
ests. That our people are alive to
their interests is manifest. but they
must not let their energy flags but get
it up in fever heat and keep it there.
After the Convention adjourned, 1t
was announced that the business men
of Toledo had chartered the steamer
4rciie, and would give the delegates
an excursion to the bay. The trip
was most delightful one and con-
tributed greatly to add to the COM
fort and enjoyment the Toledoians
had conferred upon the delegates
during their stay. All felt that the
people OF Toledo knew how to treat
guests in the best style.

Particular attention is called TO the
correspondence between the War De
partment and District Commanders
in rebel states, headed Military Re
construction. 1t will be found that
the mode of reconstruction by Con-
gress is the right one and that that
body has not gone aside OF the in
struetious given them by the people
when it was elected. Gen. Grant
stands out in bold relief, and shows
that he is in favor of permanent re-
construction. Read the article.

INsURANcE.-We invite the atten
ton of business men to the exhibit
oil the Etna Insurance Co, published
in another column over the name oi
the agent, MI. Jas. Harsh. From
the statement we lsarn that this com.
pany has paid losses. since It's organ
ization, amounting to the enormous
sum of S2l,27l,972, and Its net as
sets on the first of July amounted tc
s4,213,369. The company takes fire
and inland navigation risks, and its
reputation for promptness In adjust
ing losses, should commend it to tht
business community.

To SAVE ICE.-A German chemist
publishes the following simple meth
cd of preserving small quantities Of
ice, which he has practiced with sue
cess. Put the ice into deep dish,
cover it with a plate and put the dish
on a pillow stuffed with feathers, and
cover the top with another pillow
carefully, by this means excluding
the external air. Feathers are well
known conductors Of beat, aud
in consequence the ice is preserved
from melting. The chemist says be
has thus preserved six pounds of ice
for eight days.

! FISDLAY AND URBANA H. & L
Co's.-We find the following lumi.
nous extract in the UrbaEa Citizen
and Gazette, and Judge that the
writer OF it has allowed his judgment
to be slightly warped:
The Rescue Hook & Ladder Com
psny went TO the races NJ Bellefon-
taine, but declined competing, on ac-
count of the advantage the Findlay
boys desired taking 10y using poles
and hooks TO hoist their ladders
The Findlay boys ran, however, and
made the one eighth of q mile and
hoisted a ladder with man on
top, in 40 seconds. Afterwards, the
T, Rescues went over the same ground,
lhoisted a ladder by hand and put a
man on top in IL seconds, beating
the FiGdlay boys just 4 seconds.
Strange that a hook aud ladder
company should have "poles and
hooks !' The idea of the Findlay
boys is that hook and ladder COM
pany would be as incomplete without
hooks as If they were deprived of lad
ders but had the former. Where is
Urbsna And where do they find
their idea OF hook and ladder com
!pany--lriftoYi AooIsS We can't ex-
plain, but excuse such deplorable ig-
norance by pFesuming that they are
so little enlightened as to call hands
" mud hooks" and therefore consider
il but natural that q ladder company
should have hooks - the "mGd
hooks'-and in Urbsns phraseology
that means hands-which are gen.
orally attached TO men. II the
idea we have given is the one that
Urbana folks hold regarding Ii. *
L. Co.'S, we should like to see
them put one of their ladders
against building that was envelop-
ed in flames-it would be huge. Per-
haps their ladders are fire proof, in
which case it would be all right
Those belonging to the Findlay boys
are not, and they require hooks.
There is also a mistake regarding
the time. The Findlay boys, true
enough, made the required distance
in fOrty-fve seconds, while tue Ur-
bana boys did it in forty niEe, in
stead Of forty-one. Besides which,
the Findlay boys misunderstood the
signal for starting, and actually ran
the distance, had 4 man on top of the
ladder in thirty-seven seconds.
If the Urbana boys are not satisfi-
ed with the way they came out, they
can run our boys at almost any time,
and be allowed an, number of sec
onds they require to make up the ad-
vantage gained IN hooks.
Our Hook and Ladder Co. has
hooks.
