F.gR.u y HOUSEHOLD
FOOD FOR INVALfDS.

There are no more desirable accom-
plishment for women than to know
how to make invaIids comfortable, and
to prepare tempting dishes for them;
for food cooked by the hand of a wife,
mother or sister, possesses q sweeter
relish than that the mere. component
parts can give; and has frequently re-
storative power which money cannot
supply. / therefore propose to give va
rious receipts which will enable read
ers to prepare relishing and toothsome
dishes for those who are ill, and to va
ry the food as selection or symptoms
may render expedient.
Farinaceous food, jellies and meat
broths, are the most nutritious prepara-
tions for invalids; and such food as the
patient can take without producing dis
tress and pain in the digestive organs,
is the kind which will give the most
strength to the system.
OATMEAL GRUEL.-Mix dessert
spoonful of fine oatmeal or patent
groats with two table-spoonfuls of cold
water; add one pint of boiling water,
and boil for ten minutes, stirring fire.
quently. For richer cruel, boil two
tablespoonfuls of groats in quart of
water for an hour. Strain through a
sieve; stir in piece of butter large as a
walnut, and some sugar, nutmeg or
ginger.
BARLEY GRUEL.-Wash four table,
spoonfals of pear-barley; boil it in
two quarts of water, with stick OF Gin
namOn and pincn of salt in it, until
reduced to one quart. Strain through
a sieve; add teacup of milk, and boil
ten minutes. Serve with sugar and
nutmeg if relished. This will keep on
the ice two or three days.
ARROwRoOT GRUEL.-Mix dessert
spoonful of arrowroot with little cold
water, and pour over it one pint OF
boiling water; boil until it looks trans
parent. Add little salt. IF the pa
tient can take milk, substitute boiling
milk for water, and flavor with grated
lemon peel or vanilla.
sSAGO GUEL.-Take three tablespoon
fuls of sago, and wash in cold water;
then add one quart of boiling hot milk,
and boil for twenty minutes; sweeten
and flavor with lemon peel, or a table
spoonful of brandy.
GROUND RICE GRUEL.-Boil one ta-
blespoonful of ground rice, rubbed
smooth with cold water, in pint and
a half of milk, with bit of cinnamon
|or lemon peel. Sweeten slightly, or
season a'ith salt. rI34 s A
STRENGTHENING JELLY.-Boil in
two quarts of water, one ounce of rice,
one ounce of sago, and one ounce of
pearl barley, until reduced one-half.
Strain into mould; take tescupful,
morning, noon and night. 1t can be
sweetened and favored to taste.
TAPIOCA JEIbY.-Wash teacupful

cold water--turn off the water and pour
over it one quart Of boiling water.
Add the grated peel OF one lemon;
lsweeten to taste, and boil for one hour.
BROTH OF BEEF, MUTTON AND VEAL.
Take two pounds of lean beef, one
pound of scrag veal, and one pound of
fore quarter of mutton; put them, with
ten peppercorns and a spoonful of salt,
into five quarts of water, and boil slow
ly for five hours. Strain and set away
to cool; skim off all the fat, and if there
be any left, lay a clean bit of blotting
paper on the broth when little warm,
and it will absorb all the grease.

A QUIET CONTEXT AND LARoE VOTE
DEMOCRATIC GA1N3-ARRE9T OF
CoLoNIzERs AND REPEATERs-
THS COMPLETE RETURNS.
The City Election for assessors and
Ward officers took place in this city
on Tuesday, and was closely con
tested, causing quite II large vote to
be polled.
The Election, however, was "a quiet
one, no disturbances of any account
occurring at any of the Polls.
AS was expected the Ring made d
desperate fight, and had their repeatcrs
and colonized negroes in every Ward.
But the friends of reform were vigi.
liant, and several violators of the purity
of the ballot-box Were promptly ar
rested
In the Third Ward, Street Commits
sioner David ii. Coyle WAS arrested by
officer Woodward, for aiding and abet
ting John Haggerty to vote illegally.
Haggerty lives in the Third Ward,
but not having paid his tax at the
proper time, he was returned on tho
last error list, and was therefore dis
qualified for voting. When Coyle was
arrested Haggerty fled
Coyle was taken before Esuuire fla
gany, who held him to bail, in the sum
OF $500, for appearance at Court.
Warrants were also issued by Esquire
Hagany, as follows;
For Simon Washington, col, ON
complaint of u. Med Roberts, ton
voting illegally in the Sixth Ward
For Thomas Shay, on complaint OF
John l.. Richardson, for repeating he
having voted in the Second and Fourth
Wards
For james 'rilghmun, col, ON com
plant of Hugh Sweeney, for voting in
The First Ward, and heing II resident
al the Third.
\ negro named Joseph Tad, tried 10
vote in the Tenth Ward, and could rive
no satisfactory account of his resi-
dence. He also presented a tax re
ceipt signed by Lewis Mccall, Collec-
tor for the Northern District, which
gave rise 10 strong suspicious that he
haded voted in some of the upper
Wards. He was arrested by officer
Mullen and taken to the CITY Hall.
Alfred Graves, Cyrus Pritchett. Geo.
Ward, Andrew Lopcr, Andrew, Jeif. and
James Tilghman Were arrested for at
tempted repeating, and are now in the
cells. They were going from poll to poll,
headed by Graves. One of them, while
in the cells, said
Fore God, if ever gifts out of dis
scrape, I'll never vote agin.'
The result of the election, as will he
seen by the figures, is very gratifying.
We have carried out of the ten wards
and reduced the Ring majorities in the
others.
In the Seventh Wird the fightIwas al
most exclusively between the White
Voters and the Negroes, led by a few
Office Holders and Office Seekers.
The Democratic majority in the CITY
is between three and four hundred.
Below will be found the full returns.

TRIAL OF AN ILLEGAL yoTRH--HEi.D FOR
COURT.
Before Mayor Simms, Wednesday
George Bundy, COL, was tried on /,
charge of voting illegally In the Ninth
Ward, during the election, yesterday.
The charge was preferred by Martin
Farrell, who testified to seeing tho man
vote in tho Ninth Ward. Other wit.
cssesproved that Bundy resided in the
Eighth Ward, and that he voted in the
Ninth Ward because he was told to do
so. The accused was held to bail in
the sum OF $500, TO answer tho charge
at the next term of Court.
Tho other negroes, who were arrested
yesterday afternoon are still confined
in tho City Hall cells. They will be
given hearing this evening. One of
them who gave his name "a Joseph Tad
and tried to vote in the Tenth Ward on
this name was visited by friend, this
morning who addressed him az Joe
Stokely," which the prisoner admitted
was his right name.
The prisoners are all penitcnt and
