seasonable Receipts.

MEAT BAILs.-,A sayory way of pre-
pairing meat is in the form of meat
balls, prepared thus: Take cold boil
ed or raw beef or pork, chop very fine,
and put into dish together with
eggs, in theproportion of one to each
half pound of meat. Take, also,
crumbs of light bread, soaked and
mashed fine, couple of medium-sized
onions chopped fine (they may be
omitted if not ikedD, pepper, nutmeg,
and allspice, and form into egg-shap-
ed balls, with the hand; if too moist
to form well, add a little -four, and fry
in plenty of lard.
PUMPKIN PRs.-Pare the pumpkin,
then CRATE it, and add sugar and gin
ger to taste, and milk enough to make
it of the proper consistency; then line
your pie tins with crust, put in your
pumpkin and bake in the ordinary
way. After trying this once, no one
viii, we think, wish to go back to the
old way of making pies of stewed
pumpkin.
MNcE-MKAT.-Two pounds of rais-
ms, three pounds of currants, one and
a half pounds good lean beef, three
pounds of beef suet, two pounds of
moist sugar, two ounces of citron, two
ounces of candied lemon-peel, two
ounces of candied orange-peel, one
gratednutmeg, onequart sweet apples,
the grated rin1 of two lemons, the
juice of one, and half pint of best
French brandy. Stone the raisins,
and cut them once or twice across;
wash, dry, and pick the currants; boil
the heef till tender, mince it very fine;
skin, string, and chop the suet; slice
the citron and eandied peel; pare,
core, and minee the apples, and when
all the ingredients are ready stir them
with wooden paddle in a wooden
vessel, till thoroughly mixed; add the
brandy, and pack all closely in jars,
covered air-tight till used.
ANOTHER WAY.-Take four pounds
eurrants, well picked and cleaned, for
they require this to be done carefully;
three pounds raisins, stoned and
chopped; of fnely-chopped beef suet,
the lean of sirloin of beef minced
raw, and fnely-chopped apples of q
solid variety, each three and a half
pounds; of citron, lemon-peel and
orange-peel, each half a pound fine
white sugar two pounds; mixed spices
an ounce mix wei and put in a deep
pan. Mix brandy and white wine to
suit the taste, also the juice of four
lemons and four oranges pour half
over the mass in the basin, press down
tight with the hands, then add the
other half and cover closely. Use as
you may desire through the winter
lGer. Telegraph.
