10 RAISE BLACKBERRIEs.- writer
inthe Practical Farmer, says: " To in
sure good crops requires close attention
the canes should be kept thin ard we'll
headed back; and on poor land an occa-
slonal dressing Of manure, muck, OF fer
tllizers Of some kind, adds to the quanti-
ty End quality Of the fruit. There is no
likelihood..of the market being overstocked
with the fruit. aa it pays we'll to make it
into vine. Three quarts of blackberries
and three pounds Of sugar, with the add
ton Of a little water, will make gallon
of wine, highly recommended for its med
icinal properties, worth s. per gallon
while new and It's value increases with
age. Al the poorer berries, those that
are too ripe to ship to market, may be
properly converted into wine at home :;
and only the finest and most perfect fruit
sent to market, which will always com
mand fair price.

STEwED ToMAToEs.-T dozen large
tomatoes mince good sized onion (or less
if preferred, and iftbe flavor of the onion
is not liked, omit it altogether; table
spoonful Of good brown sugar, teaspoon
tul OF pepper, salt to taste, tcacup of
bread crumbs, large heaped tablespoon
full Of good butter. Put in covered stew
pan, and cook an hour; shake the pan well
and frequently. Beat up the yolks of two
or three eggs, and just before serving, stir
them rapidly to the tomatoes; let them
remain minute, and serve in small tu-
reen or covered dish. This is fae ac-
compartment to all kinds of baked or roast
meat. Tomatoes are best cooked long
while. They are excellent seasoned and
boiled in double kettle long time-for
a quart, two hours. Their own juice will
be sufficient fluid.

boiling water over the tomatoes in order
to remove the skins then weigh them
and place them in stone jar, with as
much sugar as you have tomatoes, and let
them stand two days: then pour eff the
syrup, and boil aud skim it until no skum
rises. Then pour it over the tomatoes,
and let them stand two days as before !;
then boil and skim again. After the
third time chey are fit to dry, if the wealth
er is good !; if not let them Stand in the
syrup until dry weather. Then place on
large earthen plates or dishes, and put
them in the sun to dry, which will take
about week, after which pack them

How TO Grow LARGE FRUIT.-Fruit
that hangs pendant from the twig may be
made to attain size much larger than
the ordinary, by giving them support,
which may be easily doneb enclosing them
in little net and attaching it to the limb
above. In this way the strain is removed
from the stem Of the fruit, and the sap
more readily passes through it. The ma
terial of the net, too retains the dew and
rain and givessof moisture to the skin of
the fruit, causing it to expand easily as
the process Of enlargement goes on. In
Scotland. where great attention is paid to
to the cultivation Of the gooseberry, anna
tours place the seperate berries in a little
vessel Of water that is supported from
below, and in this way make them attain
a most remarkable size. We would not
recommend this practice for general use
to those who have large orchards or even
extensive gooseberry patches; but it will
pay to treat few specimens in this man
ner to be exhibited at fairs or as curiosi-
ties to see how large they can grow

THE REASON WHY.

! The reason why MISHLER'S HERB BIT
TIERS cures so many different diseases, is be-
cause It IS the best remedy for deranged stom-
ach, or Dyspepsia, now known, and because it
lhFlgoratsS the entire system, strengthens the
nervous fibres eIevates and standard of all the
vital forces, and sustains most healthful tone
OF the entire human organism. Medicine that
will do this, will cure any disease, for the SIM
lep reason, that nature will do the rest.
We guaran &c, that no woman or child how
ever pale and emaciated, can use these Bitters
regula rly for twenty-one days, without the re-
turn of the rosy cheeks and fair complexion
characteristic of good health.

MYSTERIOUS MuspEa-0n Wednesday
evening most worthy and respectable
young lady, Miss Fanny Wright, left her
mothers residence, near Peatown, in Bed
ford county, to visit her brother-in-law, and
get from him some $500 which he had in
his hands belonging to her. Not returning
home, search was made at q late hour Of the
night, and her body was found In the road
between the two houses quite dead, but with
no marks Of violence visible. There was
no money on her person, though it was after
wards found she had collected the sum due
her. The next morning a more thorough
search was made by daylight Of the spot
where her corpse was discovered, and the
prints Of men's feet we're easily discovered,
and some signs Of a struggle were apparent.
1t had been at first supposed that she had
been thrown from her horse, but the alb
sence Of the money. and Other proofs dis
PEELED this idea. This is ali we have been
able to gather concerning this dreadful
mystery.-Lychburg Republican.

WASHINGTON SpEctLAf1oNs IN PoLITIcs.
Many delegates to the approaching Demo
cratic Nominating Convention are in town
en- route titus early for New York, The
general opinion seems to be that the plat
form will at least insist upon regarding the
fourteenth amendment, mo. matter how
adopted or assumed to be adopted, as wholly
inapplicable to parties pardoned, either by,
proclamation or specially, before its ratif-
cation. In this connection it is surmised
the President will speedily issue procla-
nation of general amnesty, including every
one not under Indictment at the date of its
issue. 1t is a fact not generally known that
there are not over one hundred in all who
have not either been specially pardoned, or
who are not included in some one of the
three proclamations already issued. l
There is very good authority for saying
that the President did not finally determine
to veto the Arkansas bill until late on Fri
day night. From this single fact many
augur difficulty in the ultimate passage Of
the omnibus bill at least, which includes
Alabama, in relation to which 80 much dis
cussion was had in the Senate.-Letter in
