On The Road TO White Pine.

A correspondent oy the San Fran
cisco Bulletin relates this incident
of trip to White Pine. Nevada, as
illustrative of the hotels Oh the
route:
AT one station the party halted
tor IA square meal. There was a
tent and in ita huge kettle of coffee
and a camp oven. After waiting "A
few minutes, the landlord came to
the door and snapped out, Room
for four Our informant went in
with three other men, and they
knelt around ii fiat box, with three
other men, and they turned down on
the ground. On the top were four
basins of strong coffee, and by each
dirty tin was dirty biscuit and al
egg. The coffee and eggs were good
and the biscuits were good on the
outside, that is, the eater had to
choose between the two evilS-dirt
over the top crust, dough under ii.
Each loaf was like cream cake,
perfectly soft inside. The hungry
men tore of the crust and after blow
ing, scraping and rubbing it to re-
move the alluvial deposits. put it
down with gusto and torrents OF
strong coffee. The inside masses OF
dough were left by each mans hssin.
" hen the men had flushed THEN
meal and while they were yet kneel
Ing their host put his dirt begrimed
and greasy hand over the box ant
spoke again, -Four dollar lie wa'
paid. Plump went the silver int
his pouchy pocket, and pop wen
the four masses Of dough back int
the oven. AS soon as new crus
was baked over them, eggs cooked
and the basins were reiilled wit
+ coffee, four more hungry men knel
I down, ate off the crust, rejected tn
| rest of the dough for another bakin
and paid their dollar each for til
. meal. 1t was calculated that on

SCARCITY OF FODCER.-The scar
city of hay in the eastern towna of
this and Lamoile counties is terri,
BILE. Large daries nave been ruined
and many farmers have had their
best cows die off daily for want of
hay, and yet were unable to pro-
cure any fer them, the bad roads
pre- venting travel. a good many
of the farmers of Belvidere who
sold hay last Fall-in expectations
Of lower prices-for go per ton,
have now to go as far as Water
vile, Cambridge Borough and
Johnson to get their hay, and have
to pay as high $50 per ton for it.,
and, on account of the bad and
dritted roads, cannot draw more
than 800 lbs. to a load. A gentle.
man who left Belvidere Saturday,
reports that the new snow that fell
some time ago is now about a foot
deep, and the old snow Is from two
to two and a half feet deep in many
places along the road. He says he
has fed out all his potatoes, tioul
&c, to his cattle to keep them alive
and is of the opinion that he vii
have to fodder till about the first o
June, and does not expect to &c
done doing his springs work til
bout that time. The roads through
Belvidere are so bad that they hav
to turn out and go through tb
fields. In Montgomery. the cattl
are fairly starved to death for wan
: of hay. Yesterday, we are Informed
there was not enough hay in tn
town to last two days, if divided
among those who are out of fodde
Mr.. VIM. O'Brlen, of Montgomery
has been obliged to keep his stocI
on flour, it being impossible to prt
cure hay or bran for money. A MI
Lamphier, of the gore, has los
three or four head of cattle tro'
starvatiCn. and several others hay
lost from two tn four. In Baker
/ field, our farmers are about as ba
off; Mr.. Maynard losing six COW
and Mr.. Hiram Wheelock losin
two. Hay sells readily at $50 p'
ton in the eastern towns.-Er.

How Ardent Spirits Are Made.


"
The Boston Journal of Chemistry
Of March l., gives to its readers some
very private recipes for making tic-
titious liquors, used by dealers in !
and America, some of which
are here Transcribed for
the purpose OF showing cons,. Iers
the quality of the beverages now
exposed tor sale. These
recipes are not so bad as some in use,
and undoubtedly show the processes
by which the best class of liquors
are made. We have in the market
no pure liquors; and much better
would the condition ofthose who use
it be, if they wero sure of having
beverages No worse than these.
The editor of the Journal says:
'The oil OF bitter almonds, ETHEREAL
wine, peach extract, nitrous ether,
etc. are all poisons; and when tax
en- into the stomach with alcohol are
calculated to make short work with
those who swallow these liquids
And speaking of the gin he says it
must be a delectabe compound with
or without the biting caustic potash
or smoky creosote. But we give the
recipes:
