SEASONABLE RECIPES.

CIDER may be preserved for years, by
putting il up in air-tight cans, after the
manner of preserving fruit. The liquid
should be first settled and racked OF
from the dregs, but fermentation should
not be allowed TO commence before can
ming.
Shorts Pudiing.-Take 4 eggs well
beaten, | pint of milk, and make a thin
batter with the shorts. When boiling
corned beef, dip in your pudding-bag
and fill with the above. Have plenty of
room in the kettle with the beef, and be
sure the water is boiling; put in the
pudding and let it boil two hours with
out letting it stop. Eat with sweetened
cream or any other pudding sauce.
Cream Cake.-Make a batter of | cup
of sugar. l cup of flour, ? eggs, 4 table
spoofuls Of sweet milk, ] teaspoonful Of
the best soda, ] ~teaspoonful cream-tar-
tar, or better, IA ~teaspoonfuls baking
powder. Bake this in 3 thin cakes on
shallow pie plates. For the cream take
pint Of milk and, scalding it, stir in ,
tcaspOonfuls of corn starch wet with
cold milk. Beat egg and stir in with
l tablespoonful of sugar. Lay the thin
cakes one above another when cold,
with the cold cream spread between
them. Some would prefer the cakes
made like sponge cake, TO avoid the soda
and cream tartar.
Washing Black PriRtS.-A subscriber
desires 10 know the hest method Of
washing black calicoes. She should
put the whole dress into the kettle of
suds which have been used for boiling
the white clothes, and let il boil for ten
minutes; then take it out into blued
water, and rub ont any spots which can
be seen. Rinse il thoroughly, and if il
needs TO be starched, make the starch
with coffee rather than with boiling wa
ter. | have seen a dress that was wash
ed and done up in this manner, within

made-so clearly white were the spots.
and SO bright the black groundwork. All
dark-colored calicoes will look better if
done up in this manner; but only the
darkest shades should be boiled, using
the coffee starch for all browns, and also
for brown linen Of all shades.
4 Good Durable WhitcrGsh.-Take 4
bushel of freshly burned lime, slake il
with boiling water; cover il during the
process TO keep in the steam. Strain
the liquid through a fine sieve and add
to it : pounds Of salt previously well
dissolved in warm water; 3 pounds Of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot ! pound Of pow
dered Spanish whiting, l pound of clean
glue, which has been previously dis
solved by soaaing it well and then
hanging il over a slow fire in "A small
kettle within a large one filled with wa
ter. Add > gallons Of hot water to the
mixture, stir il well and let Il stand "a
few days covered from dirt. II must be
put on quite hot. For this purpose it
can be Kept in a kettle on a portable
furnace. About a pint of this mixture
will cover n square yard.

bull lowered his head and challenged
the locomotive 10 come on. Then the
engineer stopped his train aud went out
and told the bull TO "git or The bull
refused. And then the brakcmen rail-
lied, and a grand charge was made on
the bovine, but the bovine went for the
brakemen and drove them out. 80 they
armed themselves with fence-rails and
powders. and, amid the cheers and
shouts of the assembled passengers and
the inspiring shrieks of the whistle, the
fight opened once more. For some time
il was doubtful which way the tide Of
battle would turn. Several times the
railroaders were put TO fight. Al last,
however, the bull was defeated by n
piece Of strategy. a feint was made in
his front, while the enemy moved by
the flank, and, taking Mr.. Bull in the
got possession of his tail. This
substantially ended the fight and the
bull was ignobly turned into the ditch.

about ten minutes and was n

Reform In Funerals.

The English people are investigating
one department Of national economy
with a t~horoughness which promises i'm
portant results. Both in Church and
out Of Church. the question Of reform
in funerals is being discussed very
warmly. At the recent meeting Of the
Church Congress at Stoke-on-Irent, ~
entire days session was occupied with
n discussion Of this kind, in which near
" all the prominent English clergymen
spoke in favor of a more rigid economy
in funerals and a return to the simplic;-
" Of other times. The Rev. DIR. Collins,
OF Standardization, read a very lively
paper upon the subject, in which he adj

Circns Incident at Vergennes.

An incident worth relating, happened In
this city last Friday. 1t was circus day
and crowds of people were rushing to town
to zee the sights With the rest came
sturdy young Hiberpian of about twenty
summers an ambitious youth, who hoped
to make up by experience what he lacked
in years. We expect TO prove that lie sue
ceeded. The name of this young man who
came to interview the menagerie, was Pat
rick Connors. Pat had evidently come
prepared for business he had on q new
suit of clothes which cost him forty-one
dollars, stovepipe hat whose leash value
was seven dollars and fifty cents, new
pair of boots and a watch. His pockets
were well lined with the necessary shekels
for the days sport and he sailed in. He
first went for a drop of the craythur" and
cigar, and Pat was happy. He went to
the circus to see the animals and other Gu
riosities, indulging occasionally in loving
pull from bottle which clupg to him like
strange dog, and from the effects OF
which he became very much discouraged,
finally staggering off out of the tent, and
after going few rods he lay down to have
rest on the soft wet grass, and was soon
sleeping soundly, regardless of the fact
that the rain was pouring down in torrents
on his forty-one dollar suit of clothes, and
was gradually filling up his inverted
stove-pipe hat. The morning came at last
and the bright sun rose proudly in the
heavens. shining down on deserted field
which the day before had been full of life
and cames. But where:was Pat let him

Political.

The Springfield Republican avows its be.
lief that the election of Charles Francis
Adams as governor of Massachusetts,, in
1875, would mean his election as president
of the United States in 1876; and further
more that it Massachusetts, last chance for
president, in hundl cd years to come.
The Burlington Clipper says the last
mentioned candidate for congressional
honors in this district is the veteran o. s.
Bliss of Georgia. We now think we shall

would have enterprise sufficient to stay in
his seat and do as much as to answer to
his rame when called, which is far more
than some of our congressman do. o. s.
Bliss is unquestionablY an available man.
Ordinarily, the election of sheriff in q
rural South Carolina county is not mat
ter of national interest. But recent cleo
ton of that sort in Chester is made notable
by the circumstance that the color line was
ton. Although the county has previously
averaged 1900 republican majority, the
conservative candidate was chosen with
nearly 200 votes to spare. Hundreds of
colored men voted with the whites, and
seemed to enjoy it. There was apparent
ly no intimidation" except of the mild
sort common to all elections in all sections.
The only fight of the day was between two
colored men.
The case of the late William A. Graham
of North Carolina is another illustration
says the Sprinfeld Republican of the ephe-
neral quality of political reputation. Prob
ably nineteen out of twenty readers who
saw the announcement of his death found
the name wholly unfamiliar. Yet it was
once, not so very long ago either, one OF
the great names of our politics. The man
who bore it was governor, senator, a
cabinet officer, candidate for vice-presi-
dent of the United States. lie probably
had his dream of the White House, But
the people preferred "Pierce and King" to
''Scott and Graham" the wing party went
| to pieces; surprising events followed; and
poor Mr. Graham disappeared from the
stage. Out of sight. out of mind He is
already forgotten, for all practical pur-
poses, when the news Of his death reals
him for moment to the recollection of the
surviving old togies, his contemporaries.
He was kindly, courtly gentleman,
greatly loved and venerated to the last by
his North Carolina neighbors. We dare
say his old friend, Thurlow Weed, will be
readywith few "reminiscences.

A Sporting Editor in Trouble,

Mr.. A. A. Earle, the moral editor of the
Morrisville Citizen, appears to have been
the getter up of the Waitsfield races last
week as speculation. The sporting editor
offered goodly sized purses, but the entries
were so few that it was very evident that
he would be out OF pocket, so that at the
END of the first days trotting he confessed
his Financial shortness' and declared the
races ended. This of course created a
hubbub. Many of the farmers who had
come from distance to the affair declared
it swiudle. and the horse men clamored
that the races should 90 on, for they had
paid their entrance money. Earle finding
that it was getting warm for him fled into
the woods, with the indignant people at his
heels, and he was finally overtaken at some
distance from the fair ground, put into u
cart and brought back and then subjected
tn repeated indignities; in fact this embryo
Vermont Wilkes was decidedly brought to
grief. We should be sorry for our ms
guided and maltreated brother had he not
attempted to practice the old and wicked
game Of "heads win tails you lose." As
1t was he appears to have got as good as he
sent.-Sentinei.

A Pleasant Gathering.

Any place h ~ a right TO congratulate
itself If 1t can justly lay claim to having
first class band OF music. In this respect
Ludlow is especially favored, as the Alti-
mont cornet band fully fills the bill in
every essential requisite. What can be
more agreeable to ones feelings at the close
ola sweltcring August day, than to be 30
happily situated as to listen to the strains
of music from some proficient band?
Quite a number of times the Altimont
has favored various residences in this place
with moonlight serenades.
Monday evening, the 10Th inst, was an
occasion of this kind, when Miss Hattie NJ
Smith was duly honored by an appropriate
and well deserved serenade. What made
the entertainment peculiarly timely in this
instance was the fact that the serenade was
given as near as it could be to the anniver-
sary of Miss Smiths birthday, it occurring
on Sunday, the day previous The even
tween eight and nine o'clock the band
formed themselves directly in front of the
beautiful residence of i. w. Smith, esq ,
where they performed number of popular
airs, greatly to the satisfaction of Miss
Smith, her parents, and the personal
friends who were opportunelys present.
After thus playing few choice selections
the members of the band were invited into

| nished parlors, where they were entertained
by listening to the cultivated voice of Miss

whose ambition looked toward large and
increased salaries rather than d faithful dis

result of the discharge, forty-two postmas-
tiers, scattered from Maine to Utah and
from New York TO South Carolina, find
themselves postofliceless, and four small
