THE SPIRIT SPEAKS!

The Spirit of Jefferson has issued Its
pronunciameno q Read it, all We who
fancy YOU are ''independent' and who
flatter yourselves that you live IN a
blessed land of liberty" Read and
tremble
Fair Warning.-Let all whom it may
concern take notice that the veterans
of the Democratic Conservative party
are in no mood to be trified with. They
mean to make nominations for all the
political offices in the gift of the people
They mean 10 have these nominations
respected They do not mean to toler-
ate any ifs, onds, butts, or prOuiso''
They have an hundred guns planted on
an hundred hills, and stand, match IN
hand, ready to let them below from a
hundred MOUTHS, against lSpErENpLNr
CANDIDATES in this mo mentous crisis.
Take warning -.
Whew Sire, bounce and smoke !
What fearful and Indigenous fulmlna-
ton Who'll daro now to be an IN
dependent Candidate in the face OF
such warlike manifesto and from
such a source Surely, when 1t shall
be seen by Messrs. Faulkner and Bote-
Ter their souls viii be filed with sudden
fear, and we shall not be bit surprised
to hear of their fainting dead away in
each others arms But, after all, when
we come calmly to consider what sort
of a battery the Spirit commands-the
size and calbre Of its guns-the nature
OF its fixed ammunition-the number OF
its veterans, and the effective force OF
its volunteers, we come TO the consola-
tory conclusion that
It's "hundred cannon, on HUNDRED hiils"
Are snail potato pop guns mace of quills
And VIC think, no "indspendeni" fellow
Will heed it's "warning" or fear iis--Hsiler
So. blaze away old "Spirit" with your gums"
You'll see who'll stand their racket and who
"runs % DEEItL,f.

mind US of the historic enbattled castles
of the oldeu time, and inspire US to
deeds of valor,-to struggle and con-
tend tor the prizes of beauty.
And with these beautiful wreaths OF

fingers of nature, crown you Queen OF
Love and Beauty, and Maids OF Honor
You, fairer than the foweD,-the binsh

reflection of the ocean blue or heavenly
azure,-whose tresses kissed by Inc
breeze softer than the gossamere, and
golden in It's sheen.-whose step falls
as light as the dew when it descends to
kiss the fowers,-wear these chaplets
as trophies of beauty won from the
hands of gallant knights
The successful Knights then crown :

Hannah First Family, 1st Maid, Miss

TO- A New AND VALUABLE lNyEN-
rIoN.-Last week We copied an article
FROM Western paper, which stated
that in a few years probably, flour
would be shipped in paper barrels, from
the West, taking the PLACE OF wooden
barrels. A day or two since, Mr..
Thomas Ashton, one of the proprietors
of the Paper Mill here, of Ashton,
Walker & Co., in the manufacture OF
straw board paper, showed us one OF
the barrels spoken of in the West, and
manufactured in Illinois. 1t is built of
the same kind of paper manufactured at
the Mill in this place, with the thickness
of FIVE sheets being put together, with
one wooden hoop at each end, and
wooden headings. The headings are
fastened by screws and taps. The out
side of the barrel or paper is vanished,
in order to protect it from rain and
seems as durable and hard as wood it
self. 1t is said that those kind of barrels
are rapidly taking the place Of wooden
ones, in shipping flour, crackers, cakes,
cement, sugar, or anything else that the
wooden barrel is used for, except where
too much moisture is obtained in the
article shipped. These barrels too can
be manufactured and sold at much less
price than the wooden barrel, which is
an important consideration, and can
also be used long time, We have no
doubt that at no distant day straw pa
per will take the place Of wood for the
manufacture of barrels, to a considerable
extent Call at the Paper Mil! and
examine the sample barrel.

ScoILorED Or$rERs-This n;nic:
at first given TO oysters cooked In their
own shells or small Sepl!ope4 tins, is
now applied in general to all baked
oysters, and is one of the most deli
cious ways in which they can be pre-
pared. Have ready your baking dish,
a large plate Of grated or fuely crum-
bled stale bread, a generous provision
of butter, pepper, and salt. Proceed
then as follows: Cover the bottom Of
the dish with layer Of fresh oysters,
drained from their liquor: dot thicSly
all over with small bits Of butter, then
cover with bread-crumbs, and sprln,
kle with pepper end salt. Continue to
add the component parts Of the dish In
this order uutiEit is full, taking care
that the bread and butter form top
layer, which when nicely Drowned in
a properly heated oven, gives most
inviting appearance to the whole. This
dish is frequently spoiled by tco large
a proportion Of bread, as if the cooks
understood, us perfectly the relative
valuc OF oysters and bread Us market
lueo DO that of butter and salt. Al,
ways remember that neither your fam
lily nor your guests will :elish this
ruse, ard try to guard against its per
pctration.
