30th Of June, little daughter Of Mr. John l..
Hahn, aged eight years, who resides at Hickory

CANNING FRUITs.-As the season Of fruit is
passing, anything that will enable it to be sue.
cessfully canned at small expense will very
much prolong the season. Only those who have
tried 1t know the satisfaction derived from eat
ing dish Of straw berries or peaches 10 mid-wia-
ter as fresh as when gathered. The annexed
method of canning fruit was furnished at the
New York Farmers club by MI Powers, of Os.
wego county, New York:
II will suppose your fruit and glass cans all
ready. Iprefer cans with glass covers. l scald
the fruit in large tin pan with juice or water
to cover it. Put half tea cup Of cold water into
every can, and fill up with hot water. Put the
covers and rubbers also into hot water. Now
empty can and fill up with hot fruit, and then
another Let them stand open till the hand can
be held upon them without burning. As soon
as filled cut writing paper the size of the can,
one for each, and when cool slip one over the
fruit entirely, and ill up the can on the top of
the paper with boiling juice, and seal at once
Ladies, try this way; the fruit will never mould
and keep any time, if you don't eat it. The
papers keep the fruit from rising to the top OF
the liquid. There is DO use of setting cans into
water to heat them, or of putting them into
quilted bags; it is too troublesome. let the
fruit shrink, aud then fill up to the cover as close
as possible"

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF BRoTHERL

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF BRoTHERLY
LovE.-There has been good deal of quiet
fun enjoyed by the favored few who have been
let into brotherly transaction which has lately
come to light in this city. 1t appears that a
young and fascinating lady from New York
lately made visit to Petersburg, and her charms
SO overcame the too susceptible heart of young
merchant living here, that he proposed to her
and was accepted. Having no parents to con-
suit, he naturally sought confidence in his
brother. The brother, like brother, told him
the lady was not fit to be bis wife, and advised
him to break off the match. The next day the
lady was Informed that circumstances over
which be bad no control, etc ETC., forbade the
cousummation of his hopes now, and she was
advised to go back to New York. At a more
proptious season he would join her, and they
would be betrothed 10 regular order. So she
departed, leaving behind at least one sad heart.
A few days after the departure of the "fair one"
the brother of the too susceptible swain made
some excuse for visit to Gotham, and retnrned
a short time ago, informing his fathers son that
he was engaged to be married Inquiry brought
out the fact that the lady Of his heart was none
other than the discarded damsel who had made
such an impression on his tender heart.
The sequel can be imagined-a family row, q
big rumpus, and the dissolution OF business
firm. Whether the pew partnership will be an
improvement on the old one, remain to be seen.

The Northern Democracy,

Tho New York correspondent oI
the Charleston Courier, in speaking
Of the occasional "aings" made by
Southern mon at the Democracy OF
the North, establishes the following
points
1. That tho only friends the South
have are in the Democratic party.
2. That tho Democraticparty would
have stopped tho war and secured
Southern independence had they not
been "ovorborne by the sentiment OF
the Northern people"
3. That tho Democratic party would
have redeemed its promise to stand
by the south and prevent coercion, II
cat the critical moment II had nor
been deserted by many Of its promi.
nont men"
4. Tho consistent Democrats who
were for throwing themselves into
the breach in aid of the Southern ro.-
bellion now constitute tho back bono
of the Democratic party, and should
not now be abandoned by tho South.
The people will appreciate this
candid statement of tho Democratic
situation; and We may add, that what
is thus admitted is only what was
charged nthe Democracy during the
war by all the Republican journalists
Of the loyal States.

Homes.

The Fremont Journal says, meas.
ures have been taken to organize IN
that cily,a Building Loan Associa-
ton similar to those now in success
rul operation in Cleveland. Toledo
aud some small oitics in the State. II
is the design Of the association TO en-.
able persons Of small mcans-who
have to pay high rates of rent, In
proportion to tho accommodation fur.
nished-to borrow money enough to
buy or build a snug little home, and
pay for IL in monthly dues, which
would not amount to more in tho ag-
grogate, yearly, than their rents now
amount TO.
We can see no reason why a plan
of this nature should not be started
in Tiilin, aud wo arc satisfied that
hundreds Of mon Of all trades or oc
cupations who have any ambition in
the matter Of possessing n homo in
preference to paying yearly an enor.
nous rent, stand ready to outer in.
to such an association. The plan is
as follows: Tho number Of sharos is
limited TO one thousand A share is
two hundred dollars. Every member
shall puy for each share taken by him
ono dollar per month. For each
share taken he has tho privilege of
taking "a loan from the Association
on approved security. IA Loan is
two hundred dollars. Thus Ave shares
gives member $1,000 (ess his id
or prcmium); with that he buys or
builds his house, aud pays Eve dol.
lars monthly, with simple interest on
his loan, till all the members who dc.
sire il have been furnished with loans
on similar terms. When, by the
payment of monthly dues, aud the
profits on loans, the shares sh n be
paid for they viii each equal one
loan, aud will cancel one loan. The
shares will be considered at pa. when
the securities and money in the hands
Of the Association will divide 30 as
to give two hundred dollars to each
share holder.
Thus tho Institution becomes real.
ly Savings Bank, IN which each per
son becomes a stockholdor and reaIiz.
es for the use of his money all that
the money is worth for building pur
poses, which is always a high rate Of
interest, so that shareholders who do
no3 propose to build now, can find no
better investment for their money
than the Building Association. Tho
plan can result ia nothing but
good to our city and it will furnish
hundreds Of industrious poor who
now pay ten or twelve dollars per
mouth for rent with permanent aud
homes Of their own.
