Among all the refreshing stimulants,
ginger takes first rank /; and beer prepared
from it is very delicious and palatablc /;
and if provided for farm hands it will
surely have tho effect Of banishing tho
whiskey bottle and rum jug from the
fields. Take three GALLONS of boiling
water. three pounds Of sugar, three ounces
of best root ginger, well bruised, (pow-
dercd ginger will do), and three ounces
of cream of tartar; stir until the sugar
is all dissolved, let it stand until milk
warm, add three table spoonsful Of yeast
poured on to slice of bread cover with
cloth and let it stand for twenty-four
hours then strain and put into bottles,
filing them. only two-thirds full Cork
tightly aud tie down the corks, and it will
be ready to drink by the next day. Lem
ons can be substituted for the cream Of
tartar; and the beor can be kept in a
jug.
For ginger-beer powders, take two
drachms Of powdered ginger, 10 drachms
of carbonate of soda and half pound of
powdered white sugar, mix all well and
divide into "a equal parts, putting each
part into a colored paper. Take two
ounces Of tartaric acid; divide into "a
equal parts put each into a white paper.
Dissolve the contents of each paper into a
separate glass, onc-third full Of water ;
mix and drink while ef1orvcscing. This
is very cheap, refreshing and palatablc
drink, not only for farm hands but for all
=; persons in city or country.

DRIED FRuITs.-The fruit-canning bus
mess has not run out tho trade in dried
fruits by any means. The latter are
cheaper proportionally, because the cost
of their transportation is so much less,
while the very abundant use OF canned
fruits has taught people the value of fruits
of some sort the year round, and made
them indispensable, so that there are more
dried fruits uscd now than ever. But
they would be in much greater demond II
they were more carefully prepared, if bet
ter fruits were selected for drying, bu'
especially if they were put in ncater pack
ages for the market; and If they were
less exposed to sunshine, air and dust IL
many ways, but mostly in selling them
Paper packages ofpno pound each would

be better still, though not needing to b.
scaled a.r-tight. Another good pla'
would be to have ten or twenty pound til
cans for grocers. These tin cans woul'
preserve the flavor finely. So would box

these, would greatly improve the qualit
and increase the demand for our domesti
dried fruits ef all kinds, and make tn
manufacture one Of much greater impoi
tance to the advantage OF fruit countries

Mountains clearly visible, but their high
est peaks and all their prominent irregu
larities as they stood in towering sublim-
ity, were clearly defined against the back
ground of blue sky beyond. This was
particularly true of the Table Rock on
Blue Ridge, Clingman's and Mitchell's
Peaks of Black Mountains, and of many
Others whose names we did not learn.
Toward the north and west the land
scape was enveloped in a thin, blue look
ing haze, which, while it did not Mt all
render the general outline of objects nvis-
ible, yet it seemed to smooth out all irreg-
ularities and to impart symmetry of
form to all objects, that contrastcd finely
with the rugged and picturesque appear
ance of the scene in the opposite direc-
ton. We could easily distinguish many
particular localities between the Black
and Smoky Mountains. The valleys of
the Salamanca and French Broad broken
at intervals by succession of intervening
ridges, present beautiful appearance.
Near the junction of these rivers is the
beautiful little town of Asheville, North
Carolina. We could not see the town, but
from an opening on mountain near by,
known as Woodfin's Clearing, its location
was accurately determined. Jonesboro
was distinctly visible, and many other To-
calities in the vicinity were easily recog-
nized.
and Northwest, we could see the valleys
of the Watauga, Holston and other streams,
and the intervening highlands that divide
their waters, all checkered over with fields
in every conceivable shape, separated from
each other by belts of timber. forming n
scene of rural beauty that is truly delight
full This part of the country, comprising
upper East Tennessee and Southwestern
Virginia, lies spread out before you, encir-
cled in the distance by the Aleghanes and
the Cumberland mountains. Beholding

of which seem almost incredible:
1.-THE storm of last week in this section
was ETHEREAL mildness' compared to what
was experienced in Minnesota. There,
not only were trains showed under, smoke
stacks and all, but the snow so drifted and
telegraph poles. A party of men working
westward from New Uln, discovered the
frozen body OF man five feet under the
snOw-and he was sitting in his wagon!
He was distant but twenty rods from the
Nicollet depot. Another man was found
frozen with his hand on his barn door,
which he was trying 10 open, buta snow
drift had prevented him. Other such
cases are reported, too numeropS and too
horrible 10 mention,

AN EXCISE WARNING.

chester County, having long been permitted to
prosecute, without molestation, their nefarious
business cannot fail to be aroused from their sense
OF 1ancied security by the penalty inflicted yester-
day Of their number in the Court Of Sessions
at White Plains. BY singular construction of the
law bearing on the Illicit sale of liquors, the de-
hnquents heretofore convicted Of the offence have
been dismissed with q nominal fne ana then
allowed to continue their eminently profitable
trade. Yesterday, however, an example was MADE
OF one Samuel Dunworth, who pleaded guilty to
the charge OF selling liquor without q license In

THE ERIE INVESTIGATION,

General Barlow Denies the Whole OF
Sncarmnn's TestImony-The Attorney
General Never Received 100000 for
Services, Nor Ever Asked for 1t.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 23 1873.
The Erie Investigating Committee held its last
meeting this afternoon unless their time is ex.
tended, 1t expiring to-day.
Attorney General Barlow appeared before the
committee and made brief statement, in which
he denied each and every statement made by
Thomas G. Sherman in his testimony concerning
him. He said he never demanded a cent from
General SicKles, and never received n cent. Fur
thermore, he said he never received cent from
the contract made by Belden and Hayes with the
Erie Company; never a cent from Fisk or Gould
or any person concerned with them; never was
party to any arrangement for receiving q cent (;
never was offered q cent, neither before he was
Attorney General nor since he has held thai Office |;
never wrote to General Sickles demanding 100000
nor any money whatever; he mad received $4,000
at the outset and $4,000 subsequently, as he had
before stated, with which to refund disbursements.
When he paid the 81, 500 to Henry Smith ne had no
knowledge whatever as to what use he intended to
put it.
General Barlow read each statement made by
Mr.. Shearman which had reference to him General
Barlow, and positively denied them all utterly
false and without the least foundation in truth.
lie concluded by stating that none OF the testi-
mony given by Mr.. Sherman was such as would be
received by any court; that 1t was based upon
hearsay or had reference to third parties and that
any court receiving 1t would direct 1t to be struck
from the records.

A JUDICIAL QUARREL.

UnseemIy Contest in baltimore Between
the City Judge and the SheriH-Resig-
nation OF the sheriff, and Threats Of
Unsavory Disclosures.
BALTIMORE, Nd, April %, 1873.
strong sensation has been created in Bati-
more by the resignation Of Sheriff Kane, growing
out OF q quarrel between him and Judge Cilmer.
OF the City Criminal Court. Kane some time ago
refused to place Gilmer's men on the Grand Jury
and since then Gilmer has taken every means to
hinder Kane in the discharge OF his official duties.
Owing to the imbroglio the business OF the Court
has been delayed and about three hundred cases
are In jail awaiting action.
The criminal classes OF the city, especially the
wealthy gamblers. have seized upon the oppor-
tunity, and with their political power have sought
to widen breach which secures them immunity
from prosecution while it exists. Political parties
are also interfering, the wing OF the democratic
karty which gambling houses support endeavor-
ing to help In driving Kane out Of office. Governor
Whyte has addressed letter to Kane asking him
to reconsider his resignation. but 1t Is understood
that he will not do unless Gimer gives way to
him. If the matter Is pushed to extremity Kane's
friends threaten startling revelations OF the man
ner in which criminals are protected by grand
juries and courts. 1t Is the most exciting topic
raised here since 1866.
