z The palatable and wholesome dishes that may BIO
made from Iceland Moss, or Carrsgeen, have long
been known in many American families, and physi-
clans the world over have repeatedly testified to
their ,health-giying and nutritious qualities; but
the difficulty Of obtaining the mosses and the great
labor OF cleaning and properly preparing them, has
hitherto precluded their general use.
BY our patent process the moss, as 1t comes from
the sea- is carefully picked over by hand, then thor
oughly cleansed and purified by steam, in such a
manner as to retain its full flavor and finally
brought to its present convenient form for cooking

MORAL:
Do what you can in ysur prop sphere
But don't try to be an elephant here.

Il. A. Taylor, ESD, brother of Major Taylor,
Clerk of the Supreme Court, and assistant clerk
in the same Office, had the misfortune to break
his Log last Saturday in rather singular way.
Walking across Webster street, near the residence
of Mr.. Reed, he stepped on stone no larger
than hickory nut, which rolled in such way
As to throw his left foot under him, bringing
down the whole weight Of his body with suffi-
cisnt force to break the large ankle tone. For
tunately. Mr.. Reed was within hailing distance,
and picked Mr.. T. up, taking him into his house
until q conveyance could be procured to convey
him home. The limb was:set by DR.. Hard, and
is doing we'll.

We hardly supposed any body in this COM
munity was verdant enough to be humbugged
by the transparent little hoax in our last about
the discovery of subterranean lake in South
Ottawa, especially after the remark we added at
the bottom about putting steamer upon it, &c.
Yet it seems the gentleman from Wilmington,
the redoubtable head OF the Ottawa firm of
II & Father" swallowed the hoax greedily, and
organized party on Sunday to explore the lake.
With his usual precaution, he had prepared for
contingencies by taking along his steam engine
lin stone Jug. Arriving at the place of the
imaginary lake, it is said his disappointment and
rage was terrific on tho discovery that he had
been hoaxed Steam was got up Immediately at
rate to cause fears fer his safety; he got home,
however, late at night-in what condition, to use
his own classic language, "ask his laundrsss"

against the growing evil of the paucity Of chill.

the genuine Yankee race must sosn die out and
America 60 into the hands of foreigners.
But more attractive still and certainly most

he tries to be eloquent he succeeds beyond almost

Grand Turner MASQUERADE 4.

The Turnverein of this city propose to csle-
brate their thirteenth anniversary, on Tuesday
evening, the I'd of February by giving grand
masquerade ball. Many of our citizens, doubt
less, remember the masquerade they gave two
years ago, which was admirable in all its ap-
pointments, and the occasion of so much enjoy.
ment We need only say, to the coming ball,
that the resolution is vastly to eclipse any pre-
vious effort in that line.
As on the former occasion, none will be ad-
mitted to the masquerade except such as come
provided with tickets of admission, and the sale
Of these tickets is confded to a judicious COM
nittee, so that all e1ceptionable persons will be
rigidly excluded. The price of the tickets is
fixed at $3.50, exclusive Of the supper. Tickets
can te purchased at the drug store of Koch &
Baedeker, of Mr.. Jacob Christmann, of Strobel
& Gondolf, or at Turner Hall.
The Turnverein have procured from abroad q
large supply of all kinds of costumes which will
be loaned at small charge to such as wish to
avoid the expense of getting up special costumes
for the occasion. Those, however, who wish to
get up costumes of their own, will find their
orders scientifically and promptly attended to BY
leaving them at the clothing and tailoring estab-
ishmsnt Of Mr.. Jacob Christmann, on Madison
st., next door east Of Prescott's hat store.
