State Notes,

The following interesting account OF the
escape of James Connolly, who was await
ing trial fer attempted murder, is taken
from the Coal Valley Sensation. The
county has offered 800 reward for the
missing man:
last Thursday night, firing Of the mo-
notony of Jail life, Mr.. Connolly, who has
been boarding at the expense Of the State
for shooting Litdepage, gave the jail ST.
len. farewell and plunged into the dark
ness. Connolly was on his way to Cotton
Hill TO take the Chesapeake ard Ohio
train at that point. a certain Dep
uty Sheriff was dispatched post-haste after
the fugitive. he succeeded in getting on
the same train with his man, who was
pointed out to him by News Agent Charlie
Wash. The Jealous Deputy Immediately
secured his bird, handcufed him and took
him to Coal Valley, where be Was about to
take quarters at the hotel for the night,
when the prisoner proposed that they GO
| to Riley's, which is but short distance
from Coal Valley, where his wife was, using
as clinching argument that it would
cost nothing for their board and lodging.
The Deputy acquiesced, and in due course
OF time the train arrived at Riley's.
The meeting between husband and wife
wss somewhat affecting. Oar friend Of
the law took one Of the handouts from
| Conrol)y's hand, who got on the bed with
his wife, while Mr.. Deputy with an eye for
the safety of his prisoner, sat near at
hand TO watch his every movement. Tired
nature asserted itself, and Connolly was
soon deeply, if rot peacefully, asleep &c
al intents and purposes. The eyes Of
the conservstor of the peace and
dignity of the County 81
Fayette now drank in the
charms of Mrs C. Irresistibly, it seemed
our valiant Deputy's chair wss drawn
nearer to Mrs. c. g side OF the bed, until
we'll he could have touched her. Their
ensued q short whispered conversation
and the frail but fair charmer arose from
her husband side and stealthily she and
our friend of the Sherih'alty LETT the room
but not until he had taken good look al
his prisoner and was assured of bis being
asleep. When the two again appeared,
greatly to the chagrin Of one and the un-
concealed delight of the other, Connolly
had made good his escape.
The escaped prisoner, who, when tbt
Deputy Sheriff and his unfaithiul wife LEFT
the room, arose from his bed, and, strange
to relate, without upbrsiding his wife fol
her plain, unconcea!ed tailbfessnosa, left thu
house, went to Captain G. Dunn; repre-
sentins himaelf as the Sheriff, who wat
then in the arms of his wife, and borrowe;

smooth-leayod plants, like the ivy,

washing with damp sponge. The
others may be placed in a sink or bath
tub, and given thorough showcring.
Water should be given as needed, wheth-
or daily or weekly. Do not water until
the soil is somewhat dry. Keeping the
earth constantly wet soon makes un-
healthy plants. Let the water be Of
the same temperature as tho room.
Hanging plants dry out rapidly. Plunge

The ParlOr.

The Season
Carpets and rugs must be pretty
much alike, and in great harmony and
not too much contrast to the other APP
purtenances of the room. Turkish and
Persian patterns are very fashionable
The richest carpets of this kind are
said to be manufactured in France.
An ornamental clock is never placed
on the chimney place, single statu-
cite or group in marble, bronze or
terra Gotta takes its place between can
dlebras or branches, and lamps placed
in beautiful Chinese or japanese vases,
with lace shades answering the window
curtains; magnificent guipure, or en-
broidery of the middle ages being pre-
ferrcd; these indeed are often replaced
by drapcd stores of light silk, yet suit

FOR Fair Raforr1.

Mr.. J. w. Newcomb, Kenten, Ohio,
uses very plain language in a column
and half of The Farmer, apropos of
the annual fair of that State, subject
which is still discussed in the local pa
pers. To say nothing of the saloon
business the licensed boarding house
appears TO have been kept "for the
privilege of fleeing the public;" at
least one of the side-shows was little
short of obscene, and on the whole the
management was call wrong" Instead
of promoting husbandry and kindred
interests" the exhibition Seems to be
the source of evil, and that continually,
and few mitigating circumstances. Ii is
the headquarters of roughs, gamblers,
pickpockets, confidence men and all who
live by their wits from the hard earn
ings of--well, let me say, fools. Why
are they suffered to cumber the grounds,
making q Babel Of confusion? The fair
was not instituted for any such purpose.
For consideration the board licenses
them to ply their trade, which is plum
der. IL tho quiet farmers cannot meet
and interchange views without being
crowded and hustled and their rights
invaded, let them stay at home"
The closing sentence of the above
suggests the remedy for such condition,
if no other is within reach Let self.
respecting farmers, who value the future
of their children, and all right thinking
people, refuse to countenance such
exhibitions, either in Ohio or any other
State, by keeping away from them.

Curing Hams and Bacon.

Mr. William Crozier's method OF cur
ing hams and bacon is as follows; When
the meat has been properly cut up it is
well rubbed with salt and left on the
benches TO drain for "a hours. Tins
removes the moisture from it. Seven
and-ono-half pounds of salt, two-and-
one half pounds of brown sugar, and
four ounces OF salt peter, are then put
in rs much water as will dissolve them
completely, and two ounces of Cayenne
pepper are added. The liquid is boiled
a few minutes, skinned, and set aside
TO cool Meanwhile the meat is rub
bed with a dry mixture of the same,
and is closely packed in the barrels
or tubs, and the pickle is poured over
it until il is covered. In six weeks it
is cured and really for smoking. 1t
is smoked with hickory brush wood or
corncobs, or both, one hour day for
ten days. The fire is made outside of
the smoke housc, and the smoke is car
ried in by fiuc, so that it Is cooled
and does not warm the meat. After
ten days the meat is rubbed with pep
per and is ready for sale, or, if to he
kept, should be packed in close boxes
with wheat chat or cut straw, and
kept in dry, cool place.

Cookery.

ORANGE PE.-Grated rind AMI juice Of
two oranges, four eggs-save whites for
frosting-one cup of sugar, one table
spoon of milk, one teaspoon of corn
starch, butter the size OF an egg.
ROAST SPABE-RIB.- Take nice
spare-rib with part of the tenderloin
left in ; season with salt ond little pep
per, sprinkle with sage or summer saw
DRY; put it in q pan with little water
haste often and roast until nicely brown
ed and thoroughly well done.
ROAST LEG OF PORK. Cut a slit near
the knuckle and fill the space with sage
and onion, chopped fine, and seasoned
with pepper and salt, with or without
bread crumbs. Rub sweet oil on the
skin to prevent blistering and make
the cracking crisp; the rind may be
scored about once in half an inch. If
the leg weighs seven pounds it will re-
quire three hours roasting. Serve with
apple sauce.
PREPARING TRiPE.-First have the
tripe washed very clean; have ready
kettle of boiling water, cut the tripe up
in small pieces, dip for ono or two
minutes into the boiling water one piece
at time, take out and scrape with
knife. Put board into the sink so it
will be inclined, on which to scrape the
tripe. 1t is very quickly done in this
way.
For II good, hot, bread cake, take two
tablespoonfuls of Indian meal, two of
molassos. one not at ali heaping, one of
soda, one and q half tcacups of butter
milk. good pinch of salt; thlcken this
until it is about like thick paste with
rye flour; bake in moderate oven for
thirty-ive minutes. Another way, both
recommended by an excellent authority,
is to start with pint of wheat bread
sponge. Mix with this two quarts of
Indian meal and water enough to wet il
then stir in half pint of wheat flour
and tablespoonful of salt; let this rise,
then kuead it we'll aud put it in tins;
when light bake it for an hour and
half
