The Philadelphia Cook Book.


Our readers very generally remember
pleasantly Mrs. 5. T. Horer, of the rhila-
delphia Cooking School, who has been On
gagged heretofore by the managers of our
local agricultural society, to assist The
judges in awarding the premiums in the
domestic department. AS easter Mrs
Eorer eXcels, her experience and iudgmcn +
enabling her to decide strictly upon the
merits of Ill products of the y American
kitchen. She has recently published "The
Philadelphia Cook Book, " which, from the
CurSory review we have made of il, iudi-
Gates her to be as expert i'll the language OF
recipes as she is skiifuI in teaching cock
ing, or in deciding the merits of the dishes
cooked. The first thing that strikes YOU
tavorably about this book is its binding II
presents a sensible exterior, which pleas
antly suggests the idea that it is equally
sensible i'll the matter and manner of ills
contents. 1t is bound iii oil cloth. Il is
not too fine for use. That such book
Shonld be dressed for its work, suggests the
usefulness of the matter it contains. Wh"u
you open it You find it tauted at either end
by an index, another capital idea, attording
its 'peruSer' ample means of finding read
lily any need recipe. Its preface states the
Vantag" ground held by Its author III pre-
pairing the two thousand receipes it contains
is that all of them have been tested over
and over again by her pupils, under her
personal supervision This establishes the
value OF the volume, since, 1t is generally
conceded that Mrs. korer is not merely
faster OF palatablc dishes, but Il lady who
understands thoroughly the chemical con
stituents of food, and cumprehcu,iS the re-
suits of the application of heat to raw ma
terials i'll the evolution of appetizius dishes.
The book is well printed i'll large type ON
excellent paper and costs only Sl.75. We
commend it warmly to the favorable notice
of the Intelligent housewives of ceil roun-
ty as a book they need.

o'clock at his sisters home, a mile from

VIM. Lynch met him and seeing that he
had money in his hand said he would
play him some five cent ante for that.
The colored man was not well and did
not wish to play. He afterwards con-
sented and they went into Mahoney's
cabin for that purpose. They played for
some time and Lynch lost some three or
four dollars. About that time he got
vexed and while in that frame of mind
his father came in and wanted to take a
hand. The three and a man named l1ar-
ris went to playing. 1t was } C. ante and
five cent blind, taking ten cents to fill.

On Monday night last barge with
5000 bushels of lime for agricultural
purposes was lying at Court House
Point, on the Elk river, preparatory tC
unloading. During the night, while the
three men op board were fast asleep, the
barge sprung leak and filled with
water. The men were awakened by the
water and abandoned the boat imme-
diately. The lime was quickened by the
water and set the barge on fire and burst
it. The barge and cargo, which both be.
longed to lime dealer in Lancaster CO,
Pa, were a complete loss. The barge
was valued at about $500 and the cargo
at about $50. The lime was for Lam

ELK NECK, Nd, June 16, 1886


EDITOR WIIIG-We desire to say through
the columns of your paper that at Wesley
Church, Elk Neck charge, on Saturday last,
June II, was held one of the best straw
berry and ice cream festivals that the writer
ever had the privilege of attending. The
festival was held outside the church, under
the trees; and the afternoon being warm,
the cream was all sold before night. Mr..
Wilkinson. of Elkton, brought an organ
and placed it in the church, and while the
woods seemed to be swarmipg with human
beings, the house was also full listening to
the music by the pastors daughter, while
the boys and girls rehersed their speeches
for Children S Day. The brethren realized
about $50 from the festival.
Children's Day was observed at Hart's
and Wesley Churches with very great sat
isfAction, seemingly, to all present. Our
church and Sunday school work is increas-
ing in interest. Our young ladies are about
securing an organ for each of our Sabbath
schools, and they are determined that the
towns and city schools shall not be ahead
of them. Yours truly,
A. BURKE Pastor.
