LEAVES TOR FLAvoRING.-The Garden. al
English periodical, after remarking that
leaves are by no means 50 much used fol
flayoring as they might be. adds the follow
ing practical suggestions:
One of the most useful and common of all
leaves for flayoring is that of the common
syringa. When cucumbers are scarce, thest
are a perfect substitute, in salads or any
thing in which that flavor is desired The
taste is not only like that of cucumbers, but
identical-a curious instance of the eorrela-
tion Of flayors in widely different families.
Again, the young leaves Of cucumbers
have striking likeness, in the way Of flavor
to that of fruit The same may be affirmed
of carrot tops. which are as like carrots in
taste as may be. IN most gardens there Is a
prodigious waste of celery favor in the sac
rifce of the external leaves and their par
tally blanehed footstalks. Scores of sticks
of celery are cut up into soup, when the
outside would flavor it equally well or bet
ter.
The young leaves of gooseberries added to
bottled fruit give n fresher flavor and a green
er color to pies and tarts. The leaves of the
Towering currant give a sort of intermediate
DlNOf DttNttu VI
red. Orange, citron. and lemon leaves i'm
part flavor equal to that of the fruit and
rind combined, and somewhat different from
both. A few leaves added to pies, or boiled
in the milk used to bake with rice, or formed
into crusts or paste, impart an admirable
and almost inimitable bouquet.
BErcnER's LIST OF PEARs.-Henry Ward
Beecher gives good list ofpears, as follows ::
Early-Giffard, Tyson, Rostiezer. Early
Autumn Bartlett, Belle Lucrative, Seekel,
Louise Bonnie of Jersey. Late Autumn
Beurre Bose, Beurre d'Anjeu, Sheldon.
Duchesse d'Angouleme. Wiafer-Wink-
field. Lawrence, Winter Nelis. We would
prefix to his early list. Doyenne d'Ete-for
although small, and not of highest quality,
it is some weeks earlier than any named, and
the tree is great and constant bearer. We
should certainly add Josephine de Malines to
the winter list, which, although not sue
ceeding well in some localities, is commonly
very fine and agreeable, and comes imme-
diately after the Lawrence and Winter Nelis
are gone Country Gentleman.

A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN on MR GREELEr. -
The New York World of June IIth, 1872,
held the following language:
Mr.. Greeley has no personal fitness for
the Office q. c. the Presidency 1t is an
executive and administrative Office; and we
suppose that there is no person acquainted
with Mr.. Greeley who believes that he
possessesexeeutyeorad or administrative capacity.
lie cannot even manage his small side-hill
farm at Chappa9ua on business principles.
In the Tribune he merely wrote articles and
gave advice the executive management has
always been in other hands Mr.. Greeley is
unable to take care of his own property
much less of the complex and multifarious
affairs of the federal government"

THE SCHOOL EXHIBITION

BowLISG GREEN, ONO, June II, 1872.
Ed. JOURNAL: On Saturday the sih instant
the Spring Term of the Union School of this
place closed, and on Tuesday evening, at the
Court House, under tho supervision OF the Su
perintenden', J. L. Gilpatrick, was given one Of
the most interesting School exhibitions that it
has ever been my good fortune to attend. The
Courtroom was filed to oYertiowing, and to a
lite hour the large audience enjoyed least OF
good things. Singing, declamations, colloquies
and tabeaux were the order Of the evening.
Everything throughout the entire entertainment
evince that thorough discipline on the part Of
the pupils that marks the successful teacher.
The chief feature of the evening was the rem
dition Of an extravaganza entitled "The New
Spirit of Seventy six" giving an over dra IN
picture of Society in the good ~ time coming
when woman will be accorded the right to vote
and hold Office. Miss Dora Thurstia, in the
character of Mrs. Judge Wigfai, with her er
mined robe, and her distinct and deliberate pro-
nuncation, secured the very embod imant of ju
| dical gravity and wisdom. Mss Ettie Wiley
as Miss Griffin, the female politician and wire
worker, and Miss Lbbe Kitchen, "a Mrs

Railroads as TAXPAYERS.

Aside from the enhanced value which accrues
to all classes Of real estate in proximity with
railroads, and the facilities afforded by such
roads for commercial intercourse with other
parts Of this country, there Is still another and
very important service IL rcuders--that Of pre-
senting its valuable property for taxation. On
careful examination IT will be found that every
dollar ihs, may have been invested by the town.
ships or corporations Of this State has, or will
ultimately be repaid by such roais, through the
process Of tax-payiug.
In Illustration o. this matter we may simply
call attention 10 what is being d,ue in that line
by the Dayton & Michigan Railroad Tor the
Corporation and also for the township Of Perrys-
burg. During 1871 that company paid taxes on
their property in Periysburg corporation to the
amount Of 81 ,i64 ~ to the school district $500
9S to the township, 1857 70, making total o
! 81, 1858 a..
The corporation Of Perrysburg formerly sub.
seribed $50 900 to the stock Of that company, and
the township $4,000. The tax-paying
property which has thus been created in the
town Of Perrysburg alone, contributes nearly 81,
900 per annum in taxes thus constituting the
D. g. VI. CO., tue heaviest taxpayer by far
while in addition il pays an additional tax o
1857 70 on the balance Of its road running
through this township. 1t will be perceived
thatttese figures apply to this township alone
but similar results are at,sih,d in each OF b'
Northern tisr Of townships through which thi
road passes. When In connection with this
stitsnasnt wo non alder the fact that bV virtue o
the construction Of this road and the facilities
/ furnishes for the transit Of passengers and o
home products, the value of lands has increased
on an average of some 200 per cent, thus ben
eftting the owners Of such property and ais
the tax payers at large. In this county it vii
be seen that it is in the interest Of all and ever!
one, that cordial and hearty support should b
given every good and honest railroad sehem
that may be projected.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The Annual scboo, Report.


EDITOR JoURNAL: The President Of the
School Board, Mr. Ross, stated in his remarks
at the annual meeting last week, that an error
had been committed in the County Auditors off
ce in the distribution Of School funds. On ex-
animation ii rms out that the School Board and
not the Auditor, is at blame in this matter, their
Secretary, Mr.. Knoll, who has been Paid nearly
s2e0 for services rendered. 10 that capacity, re-
ported his enumeration of the youth as amount
ing to eighteen instead Of nearly seren Hundred
as it should have been, consequently we have
an appointment from the School fund of SIS
90 instead Of sls5 90 as it should have been.
From whatever cause this error may have
originated it is quite evident that the people car

As medicine for children, the Panacea is, in

endless variety of drugs which are annually sold
Tor that purpose, and which are often very iniu-
rious. A medicine which possesses The qualities
of cIthartic "a well as a mild Alternative. and
which is capable OF arrestirg disease with
out the least injury to tbs child, is of ncnlcula-
bic value Ia every mother. AS a cathartic, tits
very effective, yet it does not If given in pr"pper
quantities cause nausea ur distress to the
stomach or bowels. Il is very pleasant to the
taste, which is very important feature as a
medicine for children. As preventive nt dts
ease it is unprecedented as i. acts directly upon
the digestive organs and the blood. In all scrot-

A Rsautiful Poem.

The Fremont Messenger thus comments up
TIE oddities of Judge PILLARS: "a large num-
ber of people in this section know Judge Pillars
Of Tifin. Jim. he is called nr short. The
Judge is superstition man and has a horse
shoe nailed over his door tn keep out witches
He wears undertaking in the summer and takes
them of in the Winter. He has his hair cat
short behind and long before. Upon his thumbs
he wears rings instead of upon his fingers. For
a hat he uses an Old-Gashioned sun bonnet. His
shoes are made nut of tanned cat skins and lis
watch is encased with glass to keep out electric
ity. Notwithstanding all these oddities, Pillars
is poet, as the following beautiful lines written
by him will attest:"
She rose from her unirnuble1 sleep,
And put aside her sniff brown hair,
And in voice as low and sweet
As lnve's first whisper, breathsd PRAYER.
Her snoW-wlite hands together pressed
Her blue eye sheltered in its lid
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms II hill;
And from her long aud flowing dress
Escaped a bare AMI tender foot,
Whose fall upon the earth did rTcss,
Lie a snow fake. snft and mute
Aud there, from slunJh srft and warm
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed her lig' and graceful form,
Aud humbly prayed--to be forgiven.
Oh, God If souls uusoiled as uese
Ned daily mercy at thy throne -
If she, upon her bended knees,
This l0veliest and this purest one
She, with face 50 clear and bright,
We deem some strange child Of light -
Day after day In her first years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
What far far deeper need have we
How hardly, It she win not Heaven,
viii our wild errors be forgiven.
