Receipt For Sugar Cured Hams.

For one thousand pounds of hams
take one-half bushel foe salt, two pounds
of saItpetre, four pounds of brown
sugar. one gallon Of mollasses; mix all
thoroughly, and rub the m ixture on the
aeshy side well, and pack in tight casks,
and every eight days take out and change
top pieces to the bottom for six weeks, and
the first time taken up sprinkle small
quantity of ground alum salt on the
mixture first applied; at the end of six
weeks must be taken up and well
smoked; by the middle of Feb
ruary or the first Of March, at
the farthest must be taken down and
rubbed " it'll ground black pepper and
m classes, then canvassed and white
washed, smoke them a day or two after
withdrawing, to dry the canvass, hang
up early SO as to escape the fig; put but
one in a sack. Ham cured in this way
requires a much longer time to be boiled
than those cured in the common way,
indeed, twice as long.
Tbs above receipt was sent to the
Southern Planter and Farmer, of Rich
mond, Va, by Col. Robert Beverly, of
Faquier county, that State, and the ed
itor of that journal pronounces a ham
prepared by the receipt as exquitite
in taste and excellent in cure.

Destruction of PhHIIoxera.

NJ Dumas claims that potassium
sulp ho-carbonate destroys this insect
effectively, but he relinuuishes his right
to he prize Of 100000 francs offered
by France for the discovery. This is
the insect scourge of the grape in
Europe. There is blight almost as
destructive called TIE oidium. Flour of
sulphur is applied to the vines as a rem
edy against this disease, and the opera
ton is repeated up to four times-sOme-
times eight or TENN a season. Hence
there is a great demand for sulphur in
all the vine growing countries of
Europe, and Waltershausen estimates
the annual consumption of that miner
al for this single purpose at $50, 900 cen
tner, or more than 49, 900 tons. We
have been assured by skillful vintner
from Burgundy, who lately examined
thoroughly the Piedmont REGION OF
AIbemarle and Nelson counties, Vir-
ginia, with a view to grape production,
that it not only meets all the demands of
the case, but that phylloxera could not
erit there.

A Great California Orchard.

A few days ago it was our pleasure
to visit the orchard of John Briggs, 10
Gated about two miles south of Yuba
CITY, in Suffer county. The proprietor
is the owner of 426 acres, mostly bot
tom land lying along the left bank of
the Feather, river. The soil is a rich,
sandy loan, and composed Of the yearly
deposits of the river many years ago
No better or richer land is to be found
in the State, and the orchard we shall
briefly notice promises to be the pride
of the Briggs Brothers, who have u
State reputation as orchardists, and
fruit growers.
Before reaching the orchard proper W Q
rode through a field ofl5O acres Of cas-
tor beans, growing in the most luxurious
manner-which field, by the way, is to

Passing along through this forest of
veung trees, we arrived at the present
beach orchard consisting OF 5000 trees,
two years old, and some OF them bearing
this season $50 pounds of peaches
These trees have made remarkable
growth, owing to the rich ground upon
which they are planted, and in another
year will make tremendous yield of
fruit

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs Of the
body, and are so composed that Obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have balIled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fule1fects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleteriOus drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

TRAIN RUNS INTO THE RIVER AT ooMMUNI-
PAw-No LIVES LOST AND NO PERSON BE-
RIoUsLY INJURED-DAMAGE TO THE TRAIN,
$4,000.
On Saturday evening, Centennial train
of 13 cars, loaded with passengers, came
very near running into the Hudson River,a at
Communipsw, the terminus of the Central
r. R. Of New Jersey, opposite New York
City. There are no "bumpers" or other
means to make sure of stopping the trains
in the depot, and when the train entered,
at the rate of about 10 miles an hour, it
was found the air brakes had become dis
arranged and would not work. The loco
motive, followed by her precious cargo of
human lives, dashed forward and over the
end of the track, then ran over the stone
pavement beyond, crashed through the
south end of the freight house, and
leaped into the river. The engineer, Ohas.
Peoples, had no time, he says, after he
had discovered that his brake was
out OF order, to whistle to the brakemen to
put down the brakes on the car behind. He
said that his own life was IN peril, and, with
his fireman, jumped to the pavement. He
was thrown violently to the ground and re-
ceived very seriousSlnjuries. The fireman
and disappeared beneath twenty or twenty
five feet OF water. The tender also plunged
in and disappeared. The baggage car fol-
lowed, and was doubled up over the loco
motive and tender, and the smoking car
turned over on its side and lay on the
wreck of the other three. Six gentlemen
who had been smoking and chatting in the
baggage car we're submerged with the car,
but were rescued by the railroad employees.
The gentlemen in the smoking car, which
the wreck Of the others supported above
the surface, were good deal shaken up by
the reversal of the position of the car, but
succeeded in crawling out through the
windows unhurt. The passenger Car lmme-
diately behind the smoking car, lay with it's
foremost truck hanging over the water, the
balance of the car resting on the dock. The
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed among the
passengers in the rear car, and the building
rang with the agonizing screams Of the
women and children. So far as can be as
certained, however, none were severely in
jured, though it is reported that one of the
ladies' had her arm broken.

The fact that the Centennial is over
seemed to be accepted by the public on Sat

attendance was small-only about Is 800.

started on an overland trip to Philadelphia
for the purpose of visiting the Centennial
Exhibition. On Wednesday afternoon the
old man reached Philadelphia, just two
days before the close Of the show. Two
years and half is a long time to
be ON journey which can be made in a
week, but the traveller seems to have en-
ioyed himself after his own fashion. He
supported himself almost entirely during
the trip by the fruits of the hunt and chase.
He has been his own cook and housemaid,
and his constant home has been beneath
the cover of his wagon, which has been
drawn by two horses.
He has made the journey IN easy stages,
and altogether has had a fair time of it. II

travelled so far to behold.

and drew together several hundred people.
Brickbats flew plentifully, but though sew
eral we're struck none were seriously hurt.
