FLAKY AND SHORT CRUsTs.-In MAX
ing faky crust, part of the butter
or lard should be worked with the
hand to cream, and then the whole
of the -four well rubbed, into it before
any water OF milk is added The
remainder must be stuck on the paste
and be rolled out. For crisp crust,
by far the most wholesome, the whole
of the shortening should be rubbed
in and thoroughly incorporated with
the -four. Water OF milk must be
added when this is done, and the
dough, or rather paste, made up. The
pie-board and rolling-pin should be
well busted with flour, and the dough
should be well beaten with the pin,
to thoroughly mix it and render it
light. In rolling out the paste, do
not drive the pin backward and for
ward, but always keep rolling from
you. In making faky crusts, the
paste must be rolled out thin and the
butter laid all over it: then roll it up
and beat it till it p1lffs up in little
bladders; it should be then rolled
out.and put in the oven as quickly as
possible

The PRINTING OFFICE AS A SCHOOL,
For young man who is not alto
gether a fool, who has had the ad-
vantages of an ordinary education,
the printing Office is undoubtedly a
capital school for intellectual ad-
vancement. In regard to general
knowledge, no class of men who la
Dor for living can approach the
printer. The studious among them,
if their natural gifts be not below
the level of mediocrity, have equal
chances with the members of the So
called professions, to acquire both
worldly honors and literary fame
From the days of Caxton to those of
Franklin, and from his day to our
own, the craft has produced eminent
men in every profession and in every
walk of life.
A good printer is generally crit
ic, not only of language and punctu-
alton, but of the intrinsic literary
merits of whatever comes under his
hand. 1t is impossible that ne should
be otherwise, since so great part of
his life is made up, as it were, of
facts that enforce reflection. The la
Dor that employs his hands gives his
mind neither exercise nor care. His
fingers move intuitively to the exact
points requisite for the proper ap-
pointment of his work, while his
mind SEXES the idea sought to be
conveyed by the writer whose work
he is engaged on, and is only expell-
en- therefrom after his Judgment has
passed sentence upon its merits.
Many one, without knowing it,
possibly owes some unknown COM
positor OF proof reader much more
reputation as writer than he would
be willing to acknowledge. If, by
changing the reading of a sentence
without affecting it's meaning, he can
give it strength or smoothness, a
good printer asks no question about
the matter but changes it at once.
There are some printers, it is true,
who can never learn the plainest
rules of composition or punctuation.
To such one might we use the iden-
teal words spoken by a well-known
divine, speaking to a young, but par
ticularly silly candidate for ministe-
rial orders: young man, you have
made mistake; you have been call
ed to another-the cornfeld."

We, the Board of Education, being

on February 24th and 18th, 1870, was
much pleased with the manner Of ez-
animation, conducted by Prof. A NJ i.
Bryant, and the promptness and cor
rectness of the answers Of his pupils,
when questioned on the various
branches of education. The Board
interrogated many Of the classes, and
nearly in every instance the answers
were given promptly and correctly,
showing that they have been In
structed In school hours thor
ougbly, by Prof. Bryant. The
great advancement made by his pu-
pills, since the last term of 1869, was
very perceptible. After the examina-
ton, each pupil received a card,
showing the class, standing, deport-
ment, and attendance. which COM
pared favorably with that of any 9TH

Zacary I. EmmersOn, has charge of
the intermediate department, and as

short time it was filed to oveIf0wing,
and there VIC witnessed the exercises
of the Philo Literary Society. which
was perfect feast to the auditory
the workings Of this society, not only
being instructive, but so interesting
the hearers doubtless appreciated the

NEW YoRK, March 1.-The latest
foreign mail brings the details Of the
opening Of the famous MoTdaunt di-
vorce case, in which the Prince of
Wales appeared on the stand. The
witnesses were quite emphatic as to
the insanity of the defendant, and
some Of the most extraordinary evl-
dence ever given ia q court room, was
ELECTED on this occasion.
The testimony before the special
Congressional committee in regard to
the gold plot, is published and it is
very voluminous and clearly indicates
the cause of the panic, add the un-
truth OF the stories regarding the
completely of the Administration.
The Times of to day in reviewing
report says that the whole story comes
to this: Boutwell, undoubtedly acted,
as he believed, 10 the interest of the
public; Fisk and Gould thought they
they were going to make a fortune by
sending up the price Of gold, and they
believed that Corbin would further
their schemes; they also tried to get
General Butter6eld on their side, and
it must be owned that be does not
come out of the affair with perfectly
clean hands; Fisk and his associates
did not find the plot to work well, but
Gould modestly dt lined to say how
much they made out Of the whole /;
finally the President, and one or two
others who were scandalously tTaduc-
ed at the time, were shown to have
acted throughout with the highest
dignity.
A letter from st. Petersburg states
that never in the memory Of man, has
more intense cold been experienced, !,
than to which the people are, at this
moment, exposed, in Russia, Poland
and in all the Northern countries. A
number of deaths, from the intense
cold, are reported by the Russian
journals, amongst them, several sen
tries frozen at their posts.
The case of Judge William Fuller
