To one gallon of water, take l-2 lbs.
of salt, - ID. of sugar, l-2 ounce OF
saltpetre, l-2 ounce of potash. In this
ratio the pickle can be increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together until all the dirt from the su,
oar rises to the top and is skinned OH;
! Then throw it into tub to cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef or
n,rk The meat must be well covered
with pickle, and should not be put
down for at least two days after killing,
during which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltPetree'
which removes all the surface blood,
&c. leaving the meat fresh and clean:
Some omit boiling the pickle, and find
it to answer well, though the operation
of boiling purifes the pickle by throw
ing off the dirt always to be found IN
salt and sugar. If this receipt is strictly
followed, it will require only single
trial to prove its superiority over the
common way or most ways OF putting
down meat Telegraph.

DRowN's HIMSELF TO VERIFY The
oRY.-In England recently, Professor
White, a champion swimmer, conScn-
ted to drown himself in order that his
theory of reSuscitation might be tested
for the benefit of the London Humane
Society, who were present to witness
the experiment, After laying down GER
tain rules for holdinga drowning man
in the water he plunged into the river
and remained long enough under water
to be partially drowned. His son then
dived after him and brought him to the
surface in apparently lifeless condition,
adhering strictly to the principles laid
down by his parent. The breaihIess
BODY was then turned over to one OF a
Humane Society's officers and put
through the course of treatment re-
commended. The society had the salts
faction of seeing Mr.. White revive, and
in short time return to the water with
out apparent unpleasant consequences,
thus providing his theory by illnstra-
ton at the risk of death.
The Frederick Union tells the follow
ing: There is supplemented negro
in this town, seems not to know his own
name. 1t appears his fathers name was
Ryan, and his mothers name was Sands.
He was registered as Ryan, but on
election day he gave his name as Sands
and no such name as the latter appear
/ ING on the book, he was turned away.
