Cnre of n Serpent Bite.

The Medical Missionary Journal mentions the
effects OF care as well as of the Bile of cobra d
capeitd. A native of Hindoostan, Mr.. Lazarus
Abraham, educated at the medical mission in
Bombay, aud the first one sent ont to the distant
districts, dispenses medicines with great skill
and is getting great Game.
Some special cases of cure have contributed
much to the production and accumulation of his
influence. One of these is the cure of poor man
who had been bitten by cobra de eapella (the
most fatal OF all its fatal genera in IndiaN, upon
which he had incidentally trampled when pluck
ing some frnit from the hedge. The wounded
man, owing to a cry which was got up, was hap
ply IN the hands of Lazarus within three min
ntes of his puneture, which was Immediately be-
low the ankle. cord was iDstantaneonsly ap-
piled as ligatnre TO stop the circulation of the
blood upwards. The wound opened and
scarifed, and carbolic acid was poured into IL.
Alter laying down for few hours, the sufferer
was taken TO his house; and next morning he
was considered TO be ont of danger, as the issue
proved to be the case. 1t is possible, nay, prob
able that there happened to be but little poison
in the radical cists of the fangs of the formidable
reptile when the infection occurred; but anthem
tlcated cases of cure. even in such circumstances
as that of which admit the possibility, are so
rare, that, with the people of the locality, who
know of no instance of the knd hold that this
poor man would in all probability have died, had
not surgical assistance, in the good providence
of God, been at hand. / was at Golwad two or
three days after the occurrence of the case which

there was, "Was it ever known before that
man could be cured of the sting of a Rdgd!"

ted, to the necessity for all of cnre from the n-

Preserving Cranes.

A correspondent of the Michigan Farmer, in an
article on keeping grapes through the winter,
says: "The mode which 1 think most preferable,
and which l have adopted, is to take a box that
will hold about dozen pounds, and lay upon the
bottom of 1t thick sheet of glazed wadding,
then a layer of grapes, placing them so that the
punches will not touch each other, then altern-
ate layers of glazed wadding and grapes until
the box is full If too many be put into one box,
those at the bottom will be jammed, and, of
course injured. The cooler they can be kept,
without freezing, the better.
Another method | have tried, is by filling
glass jar and corking and sealing it tight.
have just opened jar of this kind, and find the
grapes are as solid and plump as when taken
from the vines; but they are not as sweet as
those kept in the wadding

SMALL WEEDs-It is said that almost all the
annual weeds have the smallest kind of seed.
This causes the young weeds to grow mainly up
on the surface, and they can be removed by the
slightest kindof brushing, but which, if suffered
TO grow, will become thoroughly rooted and hard
to eradicate This is why the ground should be
cleared of weeds when they first start to grow
A good gardener or farmer will take advantage
Of this in wedding his ground-a gardener in c1l-
tivating his corn, potatoes and onion crop, and
the farmer in cultivating the grain crop. 4 grain
of wheat will become more firmly rooted than
the seed Of weeds, and hence, in scratching or
scsrifying the surface, you will eradicate the
young weeds without injuring the crop.

'BoTTIING FRUIT-A writer in the Gardeners
Monthly, in referring to the difficulty of using
glass jars for putting up fruit, on account of

A CALIToRSIA Sheriff. who had got tired of
having conscience-stricken Nathan murdercrs
give themselves up and desire free transportation
to New York, there to expiate their crime on the
gallows, addressed the last candidate as follows:
so your conscience amt easy, ehp "Ab," re-
piled the murderer, al have the curse of Cain
rest" 'sAnd you're the mani" al am" "And
yOu want to be hangedf" al feel that shan't
rest easy till Pm hanged" "Well, my FRIEND"
replied the Sheriff, thoughtfully, I" the County
treasury amt well fixed at present, and don't
want to take any risks in case you're mt the
man, and are just fishing for free ride TO New
York. Besides, those New York courts can't be
trusted to hang man. On the whole, as You
say you deserve to be killed, and want to be kill
ed and as it can't make much difference to you
society how You are killed, so long as you are,
guess I'll kill You myself" So saying, he drew
his revolver, but that conscienee-stricken muir
derer had departed in the direction of Alaska
with such feryor that the people couldn't see the
brand of Cain on his brow for dust.

How t. Make Five Gallon. of Grape Wine.

A correspondent of the Germantown Teleqra oh
says the following recipe produces excellent
wine: Express the juice from twenty pounds
grapes, and rinse the pulp and skins in as
much water as will cover them, mash them and
strain through coarse cloth, add this to the
juice, and put in two pounds of brown sugar to
each gallon; when the sugar is dissolved, pour
the whole into key, having the bung open, and
let it stand where the temperature will be about
40 degrees until fermentation ceases; then bung
tight, and let it rest for month to settle, when
it should be drawn off quietly, the key well wash
ed, and the wine returned to it, adding one
pound good rasins-and if the wine does not
seem sweet enough, two pounds sugar may be
added to the whole. The necessity of doing this
depends upon the kind and quality of the grapes
The wine should remain until the keg is wanted
the next season, when it may be bottled for use.

SYRUP FOR PREsERvEs.-Take eight pounds of
bright, clear New Orleans or sugar-honse molas-
SEES, eight of pure water, and one pound coarsely
broken charcoal. Boil together for twenty min
utes and then strain through flannel cloth fold
ed double. Return the liquor to the kettle, with
the white of one fresh egg, and boil moderately
till the syrup forms candy of the desired con-
sistency, and strain again. This syrup is a SUI
periOr article for preserving pears, plums &c,
for tarts and is preferred by many people to that
made of the best sugar, being less liable to can
dy and ferment.

To CLEAN SwEETMEAT JARS OR BoTTLEs.-
This can be done without scraping them, by pour
ing in the jars hot water and a teaspOonful or
two of pearlash. The contents which remain
sticking to the sides and bottom of the Jar will
be disengaged by the pearlash and float loose in
the water Wash bottles the same way or ket-
ties or any other vessels which you wish to puri-
~ or clear from grease. Strong lye poured off
clear from good hickory ashes, will answer nearly
as well for the same purpose and for kegs, buck
cts and other large cooking utensils I've from
good ashes may always be used.

FRUIT.-There is no good reason why more of
our citizens cannot enjoy the luxury of fine
fruits-peaches, apples and grapes. In this
country trees should be set out very thick, sufi-
Gent to shade the ground at maturity. They
thrive much better and produce larger fruit.
There is room enough on any ordinary town lot
70 raise fruit enough to supply two or three fam
lies. Set out your trees and vines this fall in
every nook and corner, and in three years you
will deserve the compliments of the press for
your energy in raising choice fruit. Besides,
grapes and peaches are conducive to health. and
are much cheaper than drugs.-Os,rego Iadepead-
