friends of Mrs. Elizabeth r. Ford, wife of
Capt. Charles w. Ford, aud daughter Of Capt.
Jacob Mcclellan, will be shocked and grieved
to learn of her sudden death last night from a
shock of paralysis. Yesterday morning she
seemed as well as usual, but was stricken DUR
ing the forenoon and lived but ten hours after
the first shock. Hel amablity of character
and fine social and mental qualities had en-
deared her to large circle of acquaintance
and she will be widely mourned. Upon her
immediate family the bow falls with crashing
weight. She was tenderly cherished as daugh-

CITIZENS TEMPERANCE MEETIN 5s.-The in
terest in these meetings continues unabated,
and another large audience was present at Con.
gress Hall last evening.
Rev. Eaton Shaw conducted devotional exer-
cises, and E. q. Elwell, Esq. presided. Mr..
Elweli addressed the meeting at considerable
length, saying that he was glad that this ser les
of citizens temperance meetings had been IL
auguraied, for this is citizens work and it
should not be left for the Good Templars or for
the Reform Club to contend with alone, but all
should unite to help suppress the traffic and
reform its devotees.
Hon. Geo. W. Woodman was the next
speaker and presented his views in his usual
eloquent and forcible manner. He said this
great and increasing interest in the cause Of
temperance meant something. Twenty years
ago nobody thought that slavery would be ex-
tinguished from this country by one sweep of
the pen, but it has been done, and the rum
traffic will be as summsriIy extinguished as
soon as we have public opinion and the public
conscience where it ought TO be and where it is
fast coming to take its stand The people OF
this land are sovereigns, ard when they say the
word the traffic must be forever banished from
the land
Messrs. Sanford. Mcdonald and others made
appropriate remarks and several went forward
and signed the pledge. The next meeting will
be held at this hall Sunday evening, under the
auspices of the Temperance Union, when Sc "
eral reformed men will take part Meetings
will also be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings of next week.

Indian Pudd ings.

These time honored dishes seem to have so
nearly gone out of fashion that many of the
younger portion of the housekeepers know
nothing about making them, so, notwith-
standing they are the simplest of all puddings
to make, a few directions may not come amiss
to some, for in this commencement of new
century, it is quite the fashion TO revive old
styles and customs; but the genuine old FASH
ined Indian pudding I should let sleep the
sleep of the departed, for with the exception
of the boiled English plum puddings, they are
the most indigestible of anything ever used
for dessert. Filled with beef suet, as they
were, and boiled tied in cloth in the same
kettle with salt beet, pork and several kinds of
vegetables, they were too rich and greasy to
euer be eaten, but the worst of all times was
after such variety of hearty food as compris-
es "boiled dinner"
To make boiled Indian pudding that any
one can eat and digest, take three cups of
sweet milk, (skimmed is just as good) one
and one half cups of coarsely chopped sweet
apples, two spoonfuls of molasses, and about
three and one half cups of Indian meal; put
In covered tin pudding dish, or if one has
none, a tin pail answers the same purpose,
and set in kettle of boiling water; boil three
hours, keeping the water as near the top OF
the dish as possible without its boiling into it /:
this, If not mixed so thick as to be dry, makes,
eaten with cream and sugar, a very good pud-
ding.
:. A good rule for making baked Indian pud-
ding Is, to use tablespoonful of meal to
two quarts of milk; scald part of it and stir in
the meal, which, of course, should be wet up
with the remainder of the milk, and sufficient
molasses to sweeten as desired; some chopped
sweet apple is great improvement and cap.
ital substitute for the beef suet so many are in
the habit OF putting in, as it gives a rich flavor
without being rich and hearty.

Small Eruit Culture,

Yet, it is strange-so strange to us that the
blackberry is not more extensively planted
where it succeeds well. After plantation is
once started, it requires but very little care
and attention. Nipping back the new growth
while growing, and cleaning between the
rows two or three times in the spring and
early summer, is all that is necessary. They
do better on light, porous soil, and should
not be worked among late in the season, as
it promotes late growth and tenderness of
plant.
But few, either, are well supplied with this
favorite fruit, while the most have scarcely
any supply. They yield so abundantly and
sell at such high rates, and can be harvested
at such low rates, that they prove one of the
most profitable crops grown where they do
not winter kill. On our farm at Palmyra we
have some eight acres, and they have proved
the most profitable to US Of any fruit we have
grown. The Lawton is the old stand by
with us, it is so productive and so large
In such States as Virginia, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Missouri, and in favorite localities
berry crop is exceedingly profitable, and
black and red raspberries too, if grown in
the states named, for northern markets pay.
Currants do not seem to succeed well
south of a certain latitude, only in particular
sections. We would advise none;to plant
largely of these before first looking around
and enquiring if any person has tried them
and succeeded.
Strawberries.-Aftera all the hue and cry
about new stra 1berries," we find nothing
better than the old, tried sorts, and would
not advise our readers to plant largely of the
new highly-praised kinds, until knowing that
they have been generally tested. We know
this advice won't suit some who read this,
and who have some new sorts to sell, but it's
the interest of our readers generally that we
care to protect.
There is no more delicious fruit for the
table than red raspberries, and for the market
none that sells more quickly, and yet so
scarce. The reason for this is that there
have been SO many tender sorts sent out and
tried, and failed, that growers have become
shy of them. We have nothing on our fruit
farm that we look forward to next season
for larger profits, than our seven or eight
acres OF red raspberries, judging by the way
they yielded on newely set and few old
plants the past year. Three or four hardy
and productive sorts have now been found,
and we believe we shall hear less about the
''unprottableness'' of red raspberries hereaf-
ter.-Fruit Recorder.
