The Commissioners have had plank
put in at the front approach to the
new Court House. We beg leave to
suggest that stone approach would
have been much better, neater, and u
hundred times more durable, and not
enough more expense to make it an
object to have plank put down.

The Oil City Derrick tells the fol-
lowing tough story: a cat, and a
housewife cat at that, has outdone Dr..
Tanner in the fasting line. Mr.. and
left home in July to be absent several
weeks, leaving their house, as they
supposed, vacant. They returned the
last day of August, having been ab-
sent thirty-nine days, and on entering
their house were surprised to find their
cat had been shut in one of the rooms
where it had remained during their
absence without water or food. 1t was
alive Notwithstanding its long fast,
and may recover from the effects. In
its agony it had torn down the cur
tains, mutilated the walls as high as it
could reach, and showed other evil
dence of its sufferings. Now let that
cat lecture on what it knows about
fasting.
CANNED FRUITS. - Every house
keeper who knows in herself how to
can fruits should read the following
extract from an exchange, and see III
the suggestion and facts recorded will
not in some way add to her ability in
future to prevent any fruit from spoil

from year to year never have any |
fruit to spoil; but there are also many
others who have the i'll luck to be on
the other side. 1t is short, but to the

three kinds of sugar, cane sugar, glu-
cose and frucose-all three nearly al
lied, but still each one has peculiarities
of its own, and yet one is easily
changed to another. In the growth
and maturity of plants these are con-
ually changing. Cane sugar is easily !
into glocose. When it is
used for preserving fruits, if the sugar
Is boiled with the fruit, large portion
Is changed into glucoce, which Is not
80 sweet as the cane sugar and the |
more acid there is in the fruit the |
more sugar is required, because the
acids aid in converting the same
sugar into glucose. Cane sugar will
not produce alcohol, but glucose will,
md alcohol is very frequently created
