| THE MAN WHO CAlIE IN LAST, BUT
| WHO TAINTED AT HER FEET, WIN
MING THE PRIZE.
PoLLocKvILLE, N. e., May "A
novel wedding was celebrated here
yesterday. 1t seems that Moses John
Miller and Alexander Bibb, two well.
to-do young farmers, were in love with
the same girl, Leonora Lloyd, of this
place. She was not able 10 decide
which she liked best. On Sunday
morning Bibb walked home from
church with her, and left her under
the impression that she said she would
marry him. Last night Miller went
to see her, and understood her to say
that she would marry him. Bob men
this morning went to the court house
to get out the license. Each procured
the necessary documents, and started
off with license to marry Miss Lloyd.
They met at the court house door, and
after some talk, agreed that the first
man who reached the lady's house
should marry her. The residence of
Col. Lloyd was one mile distant, and
both men started on the race for the
bride. Bibb soon quit the main road
and dashed into the wood, expecting
to make short cut and reach the
house first. but Miller kept the road,
and got in on the homestretch eight
minutes before his rival. The men
were in sight of each other going up
the lane to the house. Bibb's effort
to overtake his rival was almost super
human. When they reached the house,
Bibb, from sheer exhaustion, tainted
in the porch, falling almost at the feet
of his lady love. When the situation
was explained to her, she said she had
come to the conclusion that she liked
Mr.. Bibb the best, and therefore she
would marry him. Her sympathies
were won over by seeing him faint
She said she believed that both loved
her, but that he who faints at the dan
ger of losing bride must love her
more than he who is cool and uncon-
cerned in the midst of all. The Rev.
Aaron Jasper, the welLknown Baptist
minister, married Mr.. Bibb and Miss
Lloyd.

Recipes.

Itec1pea.
LEMON BUTTER.-Six lemons, twelve
eggs, two pounds of sugar, o~nc-quarter
pound ofbutter; crate the rinds, add the
juice, beat the eggs; simmer over a
slow fire fifteen minutes, stirring all the
while.
Cur CAKE.-A cup and a half Of
sugar, half cup each of milk and butter,
three eggs, a little over two cups Of
flour, a cup of currants, teaspoon cream
tartar, half teaspoon soda; spice with
nutmeg, as you prefer.
JoHNNY-CAKE.-According to the
New England Farmer, the best New
England Johnny-cake" is made in this
wise: Take n quart OF buttermilk, one
teacup Of -four, ~two-thirds of a cup OF
molssses, a little salt, n teaspoonful OF
saleratus, one well beaten egg; then
stir in Indian meal. but be sure and not
put in too much; leave it thin, SO thin
that it will almost run. Bake in a tin
in any oven, and tolerably quick. If it
is not first-rate and light, it will be
because you make it too thick with In
dian meal. Some prefer it without mo
asses.

twelve gallons Of water, twelve quarts
of salt, and one pound of saltpeter; stir
until all is dissolved. Salt your meat,
rubbing it well, and lay it in a separate
tub, taking particular care always to
have the skin side down. Let it lie thus
for ten days, and then put it into the
brine (still with the skin side DOWN,

large clean stone. This brine will keep
from November till March. Meat may
be added from time to time, always tax
ing care to have salt rubbed over it, and
the blood drained off.
