How TO PICKLE PEACHES. Put
ripe but not soft. peaches in scalding
hot water for one minute. Wipe them
Immediately with dry cloth, in or
der to remove the down Of the peach
skin. Take good, but not the shar-
pest vinegar, spice it with cinnamon
and mace, and to each gallon put three
pounds of brown sugar. Add the bea-
/ ten whites of two or three eggs, scald,
and skim till clear, taking the Kettle
| from the fire each time it is skinned.

A pair of horses attached to buggy
took unto themselves the freedom of
the city, and rushed wildly along
/ Bedford street, on last Saturday after
noon. Small shade trees and other
impediments were overcome with
recklessness that only runaway horses
know how to practice. By the time
/ the excited animals reached Penn
street they had succeeded in making a
| perfect wreck of the buggy, and had
unhitched themselves handsomely.
Up Penn, down Juliana, down Pitt,
| they fed frightening children and
alarming mothers, When ley were cap
tured at the corner of Richard. Sew
eral children barely escaped with their
lives. The team belonged to Mr.. John
! Patterson. Fortunately no one was in
! the buggy at the time of the accident.

A friend who has travelled in Ger
many, reports the following incident,
for which he vouches: During the sum-
mer, DR.. J. G. Aver spent some weeks
at Dresden, IN conferenc, with the
chemists of Central Europe, where he
was heralded as the inventor Of the
wolrd renowned medicines that bear
his name, and considered one Of the
American celebrities. While riding,
one day, his open carriage fell in with
the cortege Of the King of SaXony, on
a drive from the review The Doctor
soon became the chief attraction and
received the marked attention, of the
/ people, who were even more demon
strative in their courtesies to him than
to the King himself whom they see so
constantly. King John, observing
this, wrapped his military cloak a
round him and reclned upon his seat,
while oar great American medicine
man did the honors for the royal reti-
nue., graciously bowling, hat in hand,
on every side, until wearicd by his eX-
cessi We condecension to this old mon
arch's people.
The young lady who took the gen
tIeman's fancy has returned it with
thanks.
