TO DRAW TEA,-When you pour boiling wa
ter upon the tea, it causes most of the aroma to
escape with the steam. First pour tepid or
cold water enough on the tea to cover it; place
it where it will warm, but not enough so as to
cause the aroma to escape in steam. Let it re.
main about half an hour, pour on boiling water
and bring to the table.

CAUSES OF INTEMPERANCE.-The Probe, q
newspaper published at the Sanitarium, near
Media, Pennsylvania, states that one-third OF
the whole number OF patients in the institution
acquired taste for strong drink in attending
parties and other social gatherings that the
other two thirds became drunkards from con-
stitutionol tendencies, inducing insanity in some
and reckless disregard Of moral obligations in
others. OF the first class, twenty two were
cured; of the second, only eight. Two-thirds
of the whole had the benefits of Christian and
temperance training, while only twenty three
had been neglected.

We could readily fiji two columns OF a news

confidence of the people has been so frequently
abused by quscks and empires that certificate
of success from the most reliable and honest
are generally more tho evidence Of chsrlatsnry
than an appeal to the universally received ak

But the following recent letters, from parties OF

DESPERATE AFFRAY.-We learn from a
gentleman from Bedford county, that fight
occurred in and about "Lettwich's Chapel, IN
that county, on Sunday last, in which three OF
four persons were very seriously Wounded
The participants in the affray were William
Witt, on one side. and john Witt and his son,
and two other persons, names not reported, on
the other. John Witt and his son, and one of the
men last mentioned, were badly beaten by vii
liam Witt, and it is stated that the skulls OF the
two former were fractured, and that they are
dangerously injured William Witt, who
fought the party single handed was stabbed Sc
riously in several places by one of his antago-
nists, which, however, is unknown Ills con-
ditiou is also reported to be dangerous. =
The difficulty originated and grew out OF ),
quarrel between little child of Will Witt
and child of John Wits. which the latter
aud his friends took part IN, and following
William Witt from the church, assailed him,
when the fight occurred, with the result above
stated. -LynchLurg NetcS.
