Canning Fruit.

A lady writing in the Farmers Stock
Journal thinks that fruit can be so can
ned that it will be good for two or three
years. She gives some general direc-
tons, as follows:
What cans are best: Nearly all the
glass cans now in the market are good
so are the tin. Some people say: "Oh,
[ can't eat fruit canned in tin" Well,
if they cannot, it is because they do
not know how to can it.
Most of the canned fruit In market
is in tin, and some of it is very good.
If a can is perfectly alright it cannot
by any possible means impart m etal-
lie flavor to the fruit. Some people
will open tin can, pour out part of
the fruit, and leave the rest In; of
course that remaining, exposed as it is
to the action of the atmosphere, will
soon require an unpleasant flavor.
When q can is opened pour all the
fruit out, and keep it in the earthen or
glass dish until eaten, not in tin. AL
ways can tomatoes, gooseberries and
strawberries in tin. If tomatoes are
canned in glass, the action of the light
upon them will form crystals of citric
acid which makes them SO sour that
nothing can sweeten them; they will
keep nicely and without the least
trouble if canned in tin: SO VIII straw
berries and gooseberries. Cherries are
better if put in glass cans; i'aspberries
peaches, plums, huckleberries, black
berries and currants, may be put II
either, and no one would know wha
they were canned IN.
Cleanse the cans thoroughly and tes
them to ascertain if they leak or art
cracked. IF any of the tin cans leal

IL. K. STEVENS:
Dear Sm-In expressing my thanks to you for bene-
hts derived from the use of VEGETINE, and to
benefit others, will state
When eight or nine years old I afflicted with
Scrofula which made its appearance in eyes, face
and head, and was very blind for two years.
All kinds OF operations were performed my eyes,
and all to no good result. Finally the disease prn
cipally settled in my body, limbs and feet, and at
times in an aggravated way.
Last summer was, from some cause, weak in my
spine and kidneys, and it at times very hard to
retain the urine. Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, bought a bottle of VEGETINE, and
commenced using according to directions. In two
four five bottles noticed it had wonderful eff
feet feet on the rough a ssay bSehes on my body and
one after another disappeared until they
all g9ne and attribute the of the two diseases
to VEGETINE, and nothing else.
If am ever affected with anything of the kind
again, shall try VEGETINE the only reliable
remedy. once more accept my thanks, and believe

MIR. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-Ths is to show that my son was taken
sick in January 1864, with Scrofua which came out
swelled more than twice its natural size. He had
two from Boston and three from Charestown-
without getting bit better. He was obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living we were told to try VEGETINE the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before could see great change. The run
SO bad that had to change the cloths four five
times day. STILL he getting BETTER for he could
move his limbs and help himself little. He was
soon able to sit up in bed and, by constant use of
which he viii probably have for life but all hon
estly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before we
had bothered with those DOCTORS would have saved
the of his Leg and restored it to natural health
hope all those troubled with Scrofua will read this
testimony of me and my son, who is now WELL and
able to speak for himself

Items About Sheep.

A Nevada sheep man, who had tried
and succeeded with sheep, said:
"Sheep are better than a govern
ment bond; you can tear off a coupon
every six months, half as big as the
bond, and the bond is left as good as it
was"
1t was well put. Sheep are bonan-
"a to any man who gives as thorough
attention as he would any other bus
mess. The proper selection of herds
and crosses comes in for first attention,
with proper feed and skillful handling,
with continued attention, and the
profits follow certainly and satisfac-
torily.
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says: =
"There is much said about ewes be-
ing too fat to breed WELL In my expe-
rience of twenty years I have never
seen anything that led me to think SO,
providing the flesh was put on with
good pasture during the summer, and
a few roots with good hay in winter.
The fatter sheep become under such
circumstances, the more valuable I
think them. There is no time in the
year when it pays better to feed a
small allowance Of grain daily than in
the fall after the feed gets frozen, and
it is not necessary to bring the flock to
the barn." za 80
It is an old saying that ''sheep we'll
Novembered are half-wintered." Keep
the ewes fat, and the lambs will be fat,
and the feeces heavy. do not say
that it is better to have the lambs come
early or late, but [ do say it is best to
have them fat; but whether early or
late they are saleable. ALI ewes that
with good care will not raise lamb or
shear four pounds of washed wool
should be sold. 1 have them in my
flock that will shear nine pounds and
raise a pair of twins, and it costs no
more to keep one than sheep that
shears but three pounds. think that
no one will hear the man who keeps his
hocks In this way complaining because
his sheep are all run out" and do not
pay him, and the like.
Ticks must be kept out of the flock;
they are the worst enemies of the sheep.
IF they are not killed they will destroy
the sheep. For killing them have
tried nothing better than tobacco juice.

HEATING CITIES by STEAM.-Short-
Iy since in small circle of gentlemen in
this city the practicability of heating
blocks or whole squares of houses with
steam through pipes, was discussed; and
several Of the company who had had prac-
tical experience in the use of steam boil
ers, spoke very favcrably ofthe feasibility
of supplying heat almost as readily as gas
or water. 1t seems the experiment is
about to be given a trial in Lockport,
New York, by Mr.. Holly. He proposes
10 heat the whole city with steam after
the same nannef as it is lighted with gas.
The city is to be divided into two districts
each heated by separate boiler. Mains
from each boiler are to run to the differ
ent houses and all the occupants will
have to do will be to tnrn on a faucet and
obtain all the heat wanted.
Should it succeed, this method of heat
ing houses will doubtless be generally
adopted, especially in large cities, and
prove most economical as well as salts
factory In its results. One boiler, it is
said can be made to supply the requisite
quantity of heat to whole blocks with a
comparatively Insignificant consumption
of fuel. and families not only secure a
large amount of comfort but be spared
the dirt of handling coal, cleaning stoves
and removing ashes, avoid the labor and
attention required for that purpose, save
fuel so frequently stolen and so constant
ly wasted by careless servants, secure a
more even and comfortable temperature
in their houses, and above all escope the
dread and danger of fire from defective
hues, or improperly guarded fires.
Another advantage might be secured,
l.. e., the preventing to very great extent
The water and gas pipes from freezing, by
aging the steam or hot water pipes along
side of them.

1t is now conceded that the mere face
of the certificates does not necessarily de-
eide the Presidential election. They are
not to be set aside in any case without
solid reasons, but the progress of discus
sion has brought the public mind To II
pretty general assent to the necessity OF
going behind suspected official declara-
tions and ascertaining their character.
The Senate has agreed to this rs well as
the House by appointing committee
of its own to investigate the vote o'
Louisiana. Such an investigation is idle
if no nse can be made of the evidence
after it is obtained. Why should time be
wasted and money spent in collecting
irrevalevant facts if the action of the
Louisiana Returning Board is conclusive
and there is no authority to 60 behind it?
The appointment of this committee by
the republican Senate is retreat from
the position assumed by so many public
finality of the mere certificates. 1t is
now pretty well agreed that they are not
to be counted whether or not" They
will not be accepted as valid ii they are
proved by good evidence to be false and
fraudulent. This is concession which
the republican Senators were bound to
make on principles of honor and NOR
ais, and because they could not expect
to retain public confidence If they
svinced willingness to shield fraud from
detection.
1t by no means follows because gross
frauds have been charged that they will
be established by incontestable proofs
But when such charges are made with
any color of probability they ought to be
Investigated, for the vindication of inno-
cence and the satisfaction of the public
if they are false, for the redress of injus-
| tice if they are true. Even the Louis
| lana Returning Board itself cannot com
plain that mere certificates are not to be
held conclusive, having itself acted 80
largely on that principle.
BY the certificates they were called to
| examine Mr.. Tlden had a majority of
| about seven thousand in the State, and
| they rejected u sufficient number to give
Hayes majority Of about three thou
sand. On what principle did they throw
| out ten thousand votes certified to have
| been cast for the Tilden electors? 1t was
on the principle that a victory obtained
by dishonest means ought to be subver-
ted. If this be sound rule it is as pro-
per to apply it to them as to the local re-
| turning officers whose certificates they
refused to accept. They cannot consis-
tently object to having their own conduct
subject to the same kind of scrutiny
which they practised respecting the con-
| duct of others.
1t cannot very well be disputed that
there is sufficient ground of suspicion not
merely to justify but to require thorough
| investigation. All the local election Off
GERS in Louisiana were republicans. How
could it have happened that these repub-
lican officers made, against their party
bias, returns which gave Tilden the State
by seven thousand majority, when, in
fact, it was carried by Hayes bya majori-
ty nearly half as large?

The senate committee on privileges and
elections yesterday began the inves.
legation of the alleged disa blity
Of General ID. NJ. Frost, presiden-
tial elector of the Third Missouri district.
The claim that Frost was ineligible is
based on the assertion that he was at one
time an officer in the United States army
and afterward in the confederate army,
and that his political disabilities had
never been removed. General Frost re-
mained awyy at the meeting of the elect
oral college, and his place was filled by
the electoral college, If the fact of in,
eligibility is sustained, however, and il
the laws of Missouri do not authorize the
electoral college to actin case of failure
10 appoint the state of Missouri undoubt
sdly should lose his electoral vote. TIL,
case is precisely on a par with the Ore.

Let us see if / can tell it to you as
wildly as the fish hawk seemed to tell it

black from the intense cold, but flecked
all over with snow-white wave crests.
There is land in sight, but not tree,
not a green field, only cold land, daz-
zling and glittering with glaciers and
snow-peaks. On the water are floating,
swiftly and silently, great icebergs that
look like cleaning marble palaces which
some unseen spirit has sat in motion.
All at once one great berg, the largest
and most beautiful of all, begins to
move uneasily-to waver as if looking
about to see if it is observed. Then
suddenly, with swift and graceful ma
jesty, it plunges its high-crowned head
beneath the waves. There is moments
struggle, the sea swells and losses then
out of It's bath, presenting q new and
even more beautiful front than before,
comes the glittering berg, calm and
mighty still, to float on its southward
