ing off from side track. Mr.. Latham
was walking on the track and supposing
the train was coming on the main track
stepped from that to the side track just
in time to be struck by the engine. He
was thrown under the wheels which
passed over one limb nearly severiug it
from the body and it has since been am
putated just below the knee, and injur-
ing him otherwise so that many fears
are entertained that be will not survive
the shock. He has been resident at

ufacturing freight cars. The shop was
destroyed at the time the depot aud
nearly all the railroad buildings were
burned number of years ago. He
built the large tenement house and the
row of white cottages on the hill at the
south end of the village in one of which
he yet lives with his son-in-law, N. B.
Stafford, Esq. When he was in business
he was very widely known and esteemed,
and those who know him will be panied
to hear of this misfortune in his old age.

KEEPING FIRK1N BUTTER. is done
by excluding the air by the simple pro-
cess of keeping the package covered
with brine made of pure salt, strong
enough to float an egg. When sold,
and as soon as it is to be delivered, the
brine is drained off entirely by reversing
the package and leaving it bottom up
for twelve or twenty-four hours. 1t is
then headed up, and goes to market
without brine. The consumer is inter-
ested in getting possession of his supply
as soon after it leaves the dairy eel
lar as possible. He should first take
out the head, driving the hoops back to
Their place, and then make brine with
pure water and Ashton salt, and cover
the butter with it, and keep it covered
until the last pound is used. The but
ter kept just covered is easily cut out
of the size required for use, and if then
held under the hydrant or pitcher and
water poured over it freely it will be fit
for the table, and the last pound will be
as good as the first. No fear need be
entertained that the brine will impart
its taste to the butter. The office it
performs is to prevent the air from con-
tact with the butter. The writer knows
that firkin butter has been kept a year
by this simple and inexpensive process
as sweet and with all the flavor it pos
sessed the day it was made and packed.

Private or Short Telegraph Lines.

The magnets in the Nonpareil Telegraph in
struments are made of different resistances,
and they are furnished to work lines up to
five miles in length.
:. Persons ordering instruments to operate
lines of more than half mile i'll length
should state the length of the line, and size
or number of the wire on which they desire
to work them, in order that magnets of pro-
per resistance and the necessary amount OF
battery may be furnished.
The demand for some inexpensive vet COM
plete apparatus by the means of which the
telegraphic art may be acquired has long
existed. and has constantly grown more ur-
gent. AS the telegraph has come into more
general use the desire to became familiar
with its operation has also increased. The
low price at which the NOnpariel is furnished
makes it no eXaggeratiOn to say that this
knowledge may be acquired by its use at less
than one fourth of what it would otherwise
cost. 1t also furnishes very interesting
study and practice for young men and young
ladies for the long Winter evenings.
The Telegraph is enlisting in its service ev-
cry year more and more of the intelligent,
ambitious and enterprising of TIE youth of
the country of both sexes. 1t is destined to a
vet mightier development and it is impOssi-
Die to foresee to what extent the demand for
teiegraphic labor may grow. At the present
time there is no surplus of good operators.
BY means ofthe Nonparel Telegraphic APP
paratus every intelligent person may become
telegraph operator.
In addition, it will be found useful and en-
tertaining as a means of establishing commu-
nication between the apartments and houses
of friends or relatives, and between places of
business and residences.
A wire may berun at a very small expense,
and thus not only can reliable and nstanta-
neous communication be had at all times, but
persons engaged in learning to operate will
be able to acquire facility in telegraphing
much more rapidly and agreeably.
Price OF Instrument and Battery, Come
plete, SO.
With each instrument is furnished three
cells of battery, chemicals for charging bat
terry, sufficient wire for office connections and
the instruction book.
Line wire mo. 12) per mile, $50; Insulators,
including brackets 20 cents each.
These prices are but a reasonable advance
on the manufacturers rates, to cover freight
charges and expenses.
GO Many of these Instruments are in use
on Puget Sound and in Victoria, and give
universal satisfaction.

q A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: We moved into a
frame house, about two years old, and
my CONSERVATION was very great to find it
thoroughly stocked with bed-bugs; there
was not crack or crevice that was free:
they were under the base-boards and
over them. After fighting them eight
years I learned from a girl that had
served as chambermaid in a large
clearinghouse that bugs can be entirely
exterminated for all time. 1 imme-
diately followed her directions, which
was to take grease that was cooked out

no more trouble. It is more than thirty
years since bug has been seen in my

MAKING VINEGAR.

A correspondent, starting with the
premises that to make good vinegar you
must have good pure cider and see to
it that the barrel into which il is to be
put is entirely free from any faint, pro-
ceeds with the process of making Us
follows;
Cider once properly made and put into
sweet, fresh barrels, the balance of the
process in vinegar-making is no trick at
all. 1t is chemical process, to be sure,
but nature viii lie a good manipulation OF
it. The chemistry of the thing consists
simply in the oxvGenation of the cider,
and if the air is allowed free access to it
the oxygenation will 60 on slowly
through the Winter and more rapidly in
the Summer. The process may be ac-
CELEBRATED by keeping the cider in a
warm room. and made more rapid still
by trickling the cider through a hogs
head OF large cylinder perforated with
holes on the side and filled with birch
shavings, so as to allow the air to come
in direct contact with it. A little yeast
added to the cider gives it good start
on its fermenting course.
Our custom is to await the slow pro-
cess of nature, and to admit air to the
cider only through the bung-hole. In
the Summer we take the barrels out of
the cellar and place them in sunny
place, mailing some wire gauze over the
bung-holes to keep out flies and straws.
This process makes vinegar slowly but
surely; but we are inclined to think the
result is better article than by more
rapid manufacture. Things hastily
made are apt to be poorly made. 81
paint in long time and for long
time," said one Of the old Grecian ar
lists. This mode of making vinegar re-
quires about twelve months. Early
made cider will sometimes go through
the vinous acetous lamentations the
same Fall, but it forms a poor article,
and we prefer to wait till the latter part
of October or the first of November be-
fore we start the cider-mill for the sup
ply of the vinegar cellar.
Beware of all nostrums in the manu-
facture of vinegar. The simple, una
dulterated juice of ripe apples-if small
and knotty, no mathematics the best
favored vinegar. Brown sugar, molas-
ses, mustard-seeds and all favorings
and indications are damage. Some
recommend adding the mother of
vinegar" from some old vinegar barrel
This " mother" is fungus growth on
old vinegar, and will doubtless hasten
the acetous fermentation in cider, as it
contains within itself the seeds of decay
but it is very apt to contain also bad
favors and too much corruption. Put
ting mother" with new cider is too
much like bringing up little child to
associate and sleep with its aged and
in6rm grandmother. The child grows
old fast enough without such an unnat-
ural catalytic influence.
If anyone has old cider in his cellar
which he wishes to double in value, now
is the time to put it out in the sunshine.
It will "make" twice as fast in the
warm outdoor air as it does in the Gel
lar.
