5TEWED OYSTERS.

One quart of fresh oysters; one quart of
milk; one tablespoonful of butter; salt and
pepper to taste. Drain the liqnor from the
oysters into saucepan and bring to boil;
at the same time put the milk in another
saucepan over boiling water. When the
liquor boils up add the oysters and stew
until they begin to ruftlc at the edges; then
stir in the butter, and when this is dissolved
pour the stew into tureen. Add the milk
boiling hot. Most people boil the milk with
tn oysters, which is wrong, for by so doing
the fine favor of the shell fish is destroyed

One pint of milk one small cup of flour,
three eggs, one teaspoonful of salt. Beat
the eggs well; add salt to them; then beat
them into the -four, adding little at a time.
Be sure to beat very thoroughly. Have in
readiness a couple of small hot frypans.

Markets..

The market for flour and wheat continues &C.
tive and strong, prices having advanced since oul
last issue, and the tendency still upward. Wheat
was quoted yesterday at 10 to 81 16, and extra
flour at 20 to rs, dealers taking all that was
offered, and holding. This being the seeding sea-
son, our farmers have been kept busy at home
and consequently there has not been that liberal
ity OF supply that the quantity on hand and the
remunerative prices ruling would seem to as.
sure. We do not think however, that they will
lose anything by this. The gross wheat produc-
ton of this country is now ascertaned to be this
year. 400 900 bushels, one-half at least OF which
will be needed at home. The deficiency in the
European wheat crop is stated at from 250,OO0 900
to 800 ,OOO0 900 bushels-more than we have to SELL
The failure OF the potato crop in Europe will add
to the demand for wheat, so there is every reason
to believe that the demand Of the grain importing
countries will be In excess Of the supply Of the
grain exporting countries. The marketing season
for grain is stated to be from October to July and
the estimate now is that wheat will bring in the
Chicago market before the close of that season,
125per bushel--the highest price reached there
yet being o5 to 10. The gain to the farmers OF
America by the advance up to this time is esti-
mated at $40,000,000 and with the calculation
of experts in the grain trade holding out, as
above indicated, the gain will be proportionately
increased. Comparatively small quantity of our
surplus has been marketed, and hence we may
reasonably infer that the farming interests OF the
United States will realize an extraordinary pros
peritywhich is the basis of activity in all branch
es of industry.
Corn was yesterday at Csc, and strong oats, &c.
Hay, 65c per 100 lbs, and quoted in Baltimore at

Bacon was quoted here IN to &c, cloverseed 526
to $5 so.
In Richmond on Tuesday, wheat was quoted at
l 20 to 30, according to qualty,--a decided i'm
and in Baltimore Is to 81, Novem-
Der deliveries, ~ and December 81 to %, but
not much activity in these transactions.
Taken altogether, the prospect is cheering for
the farmers. --------------.--. - Fl

McCulloch bill fair trial.
Mr.. Stuart, one of the largest creditors
OF the White Sulphur Springs property, has
given notice that he will put in an upset
bid on the property, which will necessitate
re sale. This is well enough, as the present
season has demonstrated its great value,
when properly conducted. Were the &C.
commodations there, it would be as easy to
have 5000 as ], coo visitors each year. With
enlarged facilities and Col. Peytsn as pro-
prietor or manager, the sold White'' would

In reply, Will say that thank you for the very

however, that my friends will give to Messrs.

guard every interest of our county.
In reference to the State debt settlement, be-
lieve that a settlement which would have left no
doubt as to the ability OF the State to meet all de-
mands, with the present rate OF taxationl, could
have been made if the Re-adjusters In the last
Legislature had received the cooperation Of the
Governor and the last dollar men. But believing
as do, that all that has been gained by the State
in the Mcculloch bill settlement is due to the eff
forts OF the Re-adjusters, think we should give
that measure a fair and impartial trial
and should only oppose it when it is clearly shown
tMat it will necessitate an increase OF taxation.
