CONFLICTING VIEWS AS TO ERIE
ROUM.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Times's
Erzeroum correspondent, in a letter
from that place dated November 9,after
the repnlse Of the Russian assault on
Fort Azzie, says: 1t is impossible
that Erzeroum can hold out for any
time. Our supplies are scanty and the
garrison is small. The enemy possess
thrice as many battallions in front as
we. When the road which we hear they
are making by way of Pratak ana Tsita-
wankh, over the Dew Dagh range, is
completed, they will be able to invest
us entirely, which will prevent reinforce
ments or supplies reaching from the
outside. That Accomplished steady
bombardment will doubtless commence.
and anticipate the capture or capitu-
lation Of the town before this day

On the other hand the Daily Tele-

to arrive, and that Moukhtar Pasha is
confident OF his ability to hold Ere

A SEVERE ENGAGEMENT.
LONDON. Nov. 2S.-A Russian Off

Turks on Monday morning violently
attacked the twelfth corps at Tirstenik
and Metchka. After six hours severe
fighting the Turks were repulsed and
pursued until night. The Turkish loss
unjust have been very heavy. The Rus
sian loss numbered 800, including a
large number of officers. Simultaneous
demonstrations against Polomarka and
Kazelvo were repulsed with trifing

SURRENDER OF TURKS.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2S.-A spe-

have surrendered to the Russians in the
Shipka Pass.
Dependency prevails at Constanti-

the Russians are entering the Balkans
in overwhelming numbers, and are in
the rear of Nehemet Ali. Hope now
rests upon Sulieinan Pasha at Osman

HARPER'S FERRY.

The recent flood at Harper's Ferry
is, in all its minute details, little more
than a repetition of the incidents of
those of 1870, with less loss of human
life, but, perhaps, more Of property,
and some scenes ofmore intense pathos
and suffering. AS in the former case.
so this time, the waters rose suddenly
and at night, rushing down and over
/ whelming all in its course with truly
frightful force and velocity. The trest-
ling and bridges along the Winchester
Branch Of the B. & o. R. r. were
swept away like down before puff OF
wind, and the houses on the Island and
on Shenandoah street were in little
while immersed-some of them up to
their second story, while the violence
of the flood made it a question of doubt
how soon many of them would be swept
from their foundations. The Potomac
was higher than previously, having
risen 26 feet above the ordinary water
mark. Byrne's Island was submerged
the tops of trees only appearing above
the water. The magnificent bridge of
the b. & O. R. r. over the Potomac
was seriously.threatened, but only very
slightly damaged, though immense
canal boats freighted with coal were
violently hurled against it. The scenes
in the town were painful and heart
|rending. Among those who were the

The Little Gem" Pea.

We take the following from the cores

matter after five or six years experience
Both for second early and late peas the
Little Gem" fills the bill, by successive
sowngs, completely, while they escape the
mldew so destructive to the varieties that
are long in growing, like the Champion Of
England "Let me do your readers the favor
to commend McLean's Little Gem pea. I
know none better for family use, early, pro.
life, and of peculiar sweet richness which
no other pea can surpass. They are dwarf
enough not to need brushing, point which
| fully appreciate, often working several
hours preparing and putting down some
small bushy stakes for some Champion of
England peas to climb on. sowed these
last for later using; but am much inclined
to adopt +. S. Hayward's method, as he
gave it several years ago to the Western
New York Horticultural Society. He was
asked what peas he would SOW for early use
in his own family. Some Little Gems,
was the prompt answer. What would you
SOW for second early Some Little Gems a
little later What for your latest ? Some
more Little Gems With my present ex-
perience do not know as these answers
could be bettered. am entirely out of
patience with peas that need brushing, UNI
less for gardens where space is very valu-
able. The extra time which brushing peas
requires would make large part of the
garden look very neat and tidy. And then
there is the additional trouble of getting the
brush out of the way after the crop is
harvested"

WEDNESDAY,

instead of perpendicular-sided cans, and sets
these pals in ice-water. The pals may be
covered or not, but Mr.. Douglas claims to
make firstclass butter without using covers.
He has not used such low temperature as
Mr.. Hardin or Mr. Cooley, but there is OBJ
viously no difficulty in doing so If desired
Recently Mr.. Edward Burnett, of South
borough Mass has devised sort of en-
closed ice-car, which runs upon track, and
is pushed over the tank after the covered
pals are placed therein. The cold air and
the drip from the melting ice falls upon the
cans, cooling them rapidly. Probably twenty
other ways of reaching the same end can be
worked out, with patents attached, but any
one can see that the main feature, that OF
cooling the milk in deep vessels by the aid OF
cold water and ice, is the chief point of value
and this is fortunately unpatentable.

Three Methods of Deem Setting.

The deep-setting Of milk is rapidly be-
coming established as the surest and easiest
method of having a good and uniform pro.
duct of butter. 1t will not be many wears
before every good dairyman will be deep
setter, and will wonder why he was so long
before going into it. The old small pans
have had their day, and will soon be like the
domestic spinning wheel and loom, but
memories of the past. The large shallow
pans do not suit the neat and careful dairy.
man, for they expose the milk too much to
dust, insects and the varying Influences of
the atmosphere. The proper temperature
cannot be maintained in them, and large
numbers of dairynen, while regarding them
as in some respects better than small pans,
are becoming satisfied by experience that
neither the best nor the most uniform but
ter can be made from milk spread out at
small depth over a large surface. Deep
setting has been practiced for a eonsidera-
BILE length of time in limited locality in
New York, but was not widely known until
Mr.. Douglas adopted it, in 1870 and began
to lecture upon its advantages throughout
New England Mr.. Douglas had no axe to
grind in this matter, aud deserves and will
receive the gratitude of the thousands, who
will be benefited by this Improvement in
dairyiDg, for his exertions TO popularize IL
More recently Mr.. Hardin, a Kentucky
dairyman, has taken up the matter, in com.
bination with what is called the Swedish
plan of making the milk very cold, while
the cream is rising, by the use of ice. The
Hardin method is to place the milk in deem
covered cans, and deposit the cans in re-
frigerator. made as cold as ice will make IL
More recently Mr.. w. Cooley, of this state,
has introduced the plan of submerginp the
deep cans in ice-water.
Both these gentlemen claim that under
this treatment the cream rises so quickly
that the skim-milk is as sweet as when
drawn from che cow and may be proftably
utilized for making cheese. Both system,
are patented.

The Little Outcast.

Nearly four thousand years ago a poor
mother with her boy was turned out of
doors, to wander in the Wilderness and for
ought she knew to die. Where could she
find food and water in that barren place, TO
keep the old wolf, famine, away? But the
Lord saw her great trouble, and showed her
a way out of it. So they both lived, and
the little boy in due time became a strong
man and an archer that is, he lived by
hunting. That was very rowing sort OF
life, and presume his mother lived with
him, for the story says she took him "A wife

way from their old home. But | dare say

it is that her grandchildren, and all their

PACKING BUTTER.-The Country Gentle
man has the following In packing butter
it is essential that it be well tamped together
leaving no assures or air cells This can
be well done only when in mellow condi-
ton and by putting in small quantities at
once, and stroking 1t lightly number of
times with the ladle; never rub it, but give
it direct, positive impression at each stroke
The butter should never be placed against
the edge of the package, but always in the
center and be kept there all the time little
the highest. In this way there will always
be both a perpendicular and lateral pres
sure on it which will exclude the air and

The Rural New Yorker gives the follow
ing as approved recipes for manipulating
this excellent vegetable for the table:
"Fried Tomatoes.-Dip thin slices of ripe
tomatoes into flour; salt and pepper, and
fry in boiling butter or lard until nicely
Drowned.
"Spiced TOmdtOeS.- six pounds of fruit
allow four pounds of white sugar; one quart
of cider vinegar--not too strong; half of an
ounce each of ground cinnamon, cloves and
alspice; cook in a porcelain kettle one
hour; then put in jars and cover tightly.
Baked Tomatoes and Corn.-Line deep
dish with slices of tomatoes, then cover with
green corn cut from the cob season with
butter, salt and pepper; then another layer
of tomatoes, corn and seasonings until the
dish is full add one pint of good meat
broth sprinkle the top with bread-crumbs
and bake one hour.
"Bdked Tomdtoes.-Select large ones, re-
move part of the inside but do not skin (;
make stufing of any kind of cold, cooked
meat chopped fine, bread crumbs, green
corn, minced onion or parsley, well beaten
egg, butter, salt and pepper; fill the toma-
toes with this dressing, put piece of butter
on the top of each, and bake in not very
quick oven three-quarters of an hour.
.Stewed Tomatoes. stew tomatoes
properly they should be cooked at least two
hours pour boiling water over them and re-
move the skim then slice them into stew
pau-porcelain is the best, although new tin
will answer; allow them TO boil briskly for
twenty minutes, then remove to the back of
the range to simmer slowly until required ;
season literally with butter, salt and pepper
They will then be cooked TO thick creamy
consistency with few humps aud high fine
flavor, and will not, therefore, need -four or
cracker-crumbs, which to our taste are no
improvement.
"Tomato Catsup.-One bushel of tomatoes
three large teacupfuls of salt, two table
spoonfuls OF cayenne pepper, four ounces of
light black pepper, two ounces of whole all
spice, two ounces of whole cloves, four ounces
of grated nutmeg. Wash the tomatoes, put
them into a kettle and mash as fine as pos
sible; add the salt and spices and boil two
hours then strain through a seive, carefully
rubbing through the pulp; put back and
boil at the end of four hours remove; when
cold, bottle and seal keep in a cool, dry
place. When boiling it should be stirred
almost constantly, so that it may not burn.
We also find it advisable TO wire the corks"
