PEsERvING FLowERs.-A friend who has
had experience in preserving flowers gives the
following recipe: Heat fine quartz sand in
an iron, and stir in some stearic acid and
spermaceti In the proportionyof half an o.
of each to every five pounds Of sand. Taken
from the fire, the whole is well mixed and
used as follows:
A small box, with drawer lid, with the
bottom Knocked out, is inverted and a coarse
piece of wire gauze placed inside, over the
lid, which now forms the bottom. This selve
is then covered with a layer of the prepared
sand TIE flowers, properly thinned, are
then placed on this sand, and completely im :
bedded in more of it, to keep them in position
The box, covered with paper, is then placed
in room or oven, ri winch a temperature of
100 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. in which they
will soon be dried. Then the lid Of the box
is drawn, which causes the sand to fall out,
eaving the dried flowers on the gauze.-
Should the flowers have faded they are tuuch>
ed up with paint afterwards"

SAVING CABBAGEs.-Select dry rart of the
garden dig trenches ofisuficient depth to re-
ccive the root and stocks up to the head-in~
to these trenches transplant the cabbages,
heads up of course, fill in the dirt carefully
about them up to the heads, plant four posts,
two of them being higher than the others to
give pitch to thereof nail hingllng lath, or
strips of old boards from one post to the 9TH
er and another board half way up, lay upon
this number Of bean poles, and upon these
throw straw, cornfodder, protecting also the
sides, and your cabbages. viii keep in good
condition until May.
Where there is a fence, only two posts will
be necessary, that being employed as the
apex of the cover or roof.

Hoes IN 0RCHARDs.-A correspondent o
the Richmond (Va.) Farmer says: "Several
years ago we had fine young orchard which
never bore at all for six or seven years. We
supposed frost was the cause of their Dot
bearing. At las. it was convenient 10 fatten
our hogs in the peach orchard, about six
years ago, since viii ch time the orchard has
borne abundantly, every year except last
year, when the frost killed the fruit. The
cause of the barrenness was the fiat white
worms eating into the roots of the trees
these the hogs rooted out and destroyed"

To GET RID OF FIEs.-When the flies set
tic on the ceal'ng, as they usually do at night
reduce the light in the room so you can just
see them, and take tumber, or wider v s.
sal, two thirds full OF warm soap suds, and
place it quickly over each group of flies, when
they will fall into the suds. With chair or
form to stand upon you can soon clear a
whole room, entirely destroying the pests.-
l have caught pint of them thus in very
few minutes.

TO PRESERVE CRAB APPLEs.-Take off the
stem and score them with a pen knife, with
out cutting them open. Weigh pound of
white sugar for each pound of prepared fruit:
put it over a moderate fire. When The sugar
is all dissolved and hot, put the applesin let
them boil gently unit they are clear, then
skim them out and place them in fat dishes.
Boil the syrupsuntil it is thick put the fruit
in whatever it is to be kept, and when the
syrup is cooled and settled, pour it carefully
over the fruit. Slices of lemon boiled with
the fruit may be considered an improvements
one lemon is enough for several pounds OF
fruit. Crab apples may be preserved whole
with only halt an inch of the stem, three.
quarters Of 3 pound of sugar for each pound
of fruit.

QUALITIES OF CATTLE.-AyIshires for
cheese, Devons for butter, and Alderneys for
cream. These, on the best native stock will
improve. The improved Shorthorns combine
these qualities to large extent, and are be-
sides, superior for beef. When we say the
Attorneys, for cream, we mean the richest
cream, not the most, as less milk is given by
them than by the Devons, and less butter
made from cow. For the farmer who has
but few cows, the improved ShorthoTns are
the best, as they combine more the coed
qualities. Excellent for milk, they arc srt
more so for beef.-RuaL Ulord.

TOMATO WiNE.-Take small ripe tomatoes
pick off the stem, put them in baske; or
tub, wash clean, then mash well and strain
through linen rag, Ga bushel wi n make five
gallons pure); then adj two and half 10
three pounds Of good brown sugar to each
gallon, then put it into cask, and let it fer
ment as for raspberry wine. If two gallons
of water be added to each bushel of tona>
toes, the wine will be as good.

Secretary stanton Suspended - Gen.
G Grant auth Orized to act as Secreta.
ry of War.
3. WASHINGTON, August 12.-The President
at 10 o'clock this morning sent commu-
nication to the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton
suspending him from the Office of Secretary
of War, and instructing him to transfer all
the records, books, &C., in his custody, to
Gen. U. S. Grant. The Secretary of War
was at the same time informed that Gen.
Grant had been empowered to act as Sec
retary of War dd interim.
A communication was at the same hour
sent to Gen. Grant, authorizing him to act
as Secretary dd interim, and instrueting
him at once to enter upon the discharge of
the duties of that Office.
Shortly after noon Stanton sent a reply
to the President, in which he denied that
without consent of the Senate, and with
out legal course, the Executive had not
any right under the Constitution and laws
to suspend him from Office. Inasmuch, how
ever. as the General commanding the armies
of the United Sta a%es has notified him that
he had accepted the appointment as Secre-
tary of War dd Interim, the Secretary con-
cIuded by saying he had no alternative but
to submit under protest to superior
force.
Gen. Grant has therefore assumed charge
of the department of war and appeared at
the cabinet meeting to-day for the purpose
of considering certain questions connected
with the territory recently acquired from
Russia.
With regarl to the recent disclosures of
Sanford Conover, there is the highest au-
thority for saying that when the disclos-
ures came before the President, with an
official detail of their contents, he decided,
after due deliberation, neither to. order in
vestfgations and collections of other evi-
dence rumored to exist nor on the other
hand to let them lie silent on his files, but
to commit them forthwith to the public and
rid himself of the whole matter as it
stands

A BALLOON WEDDING.-John M. Kinney,
on yesterday, concluded an arrangement
with the Board of Managers of the Frank
lin County Agricultural Society, for an
ascension and balloon wedding at the ap-
preaching County Fair. Such features are
very attractive, and we doubt not the So
ciety will find it profitable as well. Now,
young ladies and gentlemen who wish to en-
ter the matrimonial state in lofty manner
here is your chance. We don't believe in
people getting high on their wedding day,
but in such a case as this it would certainly
be excusable. Parties wishing to avail
themselves OF this novel mode of getting
married can address John M. Kinney, o

cations in strict confidence.

passed off very quietly. The vote polled
was more than usually light, and but little
interest was manifested.
The contest was between Jacob Lohrer,Jr
Democrat, and VIM. L. Heyl, Independent,

dominant party of special elections. The

To WHOM IT MAY CoNCERN.-For the fu-
ture exoneration of Joseph Boys, we take
pleasure in saying that his arrest was
brought about in the following manner.
After the arrest of Eli Watson he professed
to make a confession in which he stated
that A. B. Fry and Joseph Boys were his
partners in the theft, whereupon the above
parties were arrested, but when Mr.. Boys
was brought here he (Watson) said that
Boys had nothing to do with the affair, but
that it was another party. The supposi-
tion here is that Watson's object in these
tales was to get the confidence of his guard
and finally make his escape, as the sequel
showed. No person here now attaches
the least suspicion to Joseph Boys.

CABINET ORGANs.--Mason & Hamlin
have gained a'great reputation for the ex-
cellence and durability of their workman
ship, and they allow no instrument to go
out of their factory which, through any
defect, would be likely to injure the ''good
report" of them which now everywhere
prevails. They take equal pains with their
small and their large organs. All of them
are warranted, and are perfectly reliable.
The variety and beauty of the effects which
can be produced with some of the large
instruments are truly surprising, and can
be properly understood and appreciated
only by such Intelligent persons as have
heard these organs fully and effectually
displayed.-Prouidenc Journal.

CosTIvENEss or habitual Constipation.
From these Affections arise many of the
ailings of man.
We hear daily, people complain of head
ache, nervous debility, etc., and generally
the cause of the compalint can be traced to
their constipated habits. A remedy for
the cure of this trouble is what they want.
We recommend DIR. Roback's Sugar Coated
pills as the best remedy we know of. They
contain no mercury, or other mineral poi
son, and act like a charm on the liver and
intestines. Give them trial.
