KEEPING CIDER SWEET The editor
Of the Ne,o England Farmer indorses
the following mode Of preserving cider
sweet for Eve years; Leach and filter
the cider through pure sand after it has
worked and before it has soured. Put
no alcohol or other substance with it. Be
sure that the vessels you put in are per-
fectly clean and sweet. After it has
leacbed or filtered put it in barrels or
casks filed. leaving no room for air ;
bung them tight, and keep it where it
won't freeze till February or March /;
then put it in champagne bottles filed;
drive the corks and wire them. The best
cider is late made, or made when it is
as cold as can be and not frozen.

FALL PLow1NG FOR SPRING Crops.
There is considerable difference Of opin-
ION among farmers as the propriety Of
fall plowing for spring crops, especially
for corn. This, we think, depends en-
tirely on CIRCUMSTANCES. All expert
enced, practical farmers. however, agree
that it ID much better clover sod, in

PATRICK HENRY.-Henry had already
received the name of the "Man Of the Peo-
ple.' He sprung from what may be called
the middle class, and his personal appear
ance was plain, almost humble. During his
early manhood he was noted for idleness
and failure in all that he undertook. He
failed twice as small country merchant,
giving his time and attention to hunting,
fishing, and playing the violin, instead Of
his business and as a last resort, read Law
for six weeks, barely received license TO
practice, and seemed destined to starve Il lit
tie more rapidly even in his new profession
than in trade. The moment was near, how
ever, when his wonderful powers were to re-
veal themselves. The clergy of the colony
who were not popular class-breught
suit to recover their salaries, resting their
claims on royal order in council, which
was in direct opposition to an act of the Bur-
gesses, and Henry was employed TO oppose
them, though the law was completely in
their favor. The result was remarkable.
The awkward youth rose to speak in the
midst of derisiye smiles from the clergy, who
were present in great numbers. His head
hung down, and his voice faltered. But
soon an astonishing transformation took
place in his appearance. The head rose
erect, the voice grew vibrating and imperi-
Gus, and he denounced king, clergy, and
Parliament in terms so violent and over
whelming that he was interrupted by cries
of Treason w and the parsons left the court
house in bitter indignation. Henry's tn
umph was complete. He had pla! ed upon
the chords of the popular heart with the
hand of master. The jury decided in his
favor in opposition to all law and the crowd
yielding to passionate admiration caught the
young orator up on their shoulders, and bore
him, in the midst of shouts and outcries,
around the yard of the courthouse.


Henry's next public appearance was in
the debate on the Stamp Act in the House
of Burgesses We have seen him on that
occasion rise in the midst of the crowd of
planters, aud break down all opposition by
his immense eloQuencc. He had thus car
ried with him the first men Of Virginia, as
he had carried with him the rustic crowd
when he spoke against the parsons. He MAS

St. Paul, July 2s.-The terrible devas-

of and including Jackson county. to east

Chan1berlin's request, denounce
him, in that event for refusing to do
so?


They should remember that the
President of tbe United States is
governed by laws; that he has no
right to act differently from what
those laws direct. He cannot
know whether Hampton or Cham
berlin are elected, except as he gets
information through official sources.
The certificates of election granted
by the Returning Board are the on
ly evidence he can accept. He
cannot 60 behind these nor set
them aside. If these do injustice
to Mr.. Hampton the latter has his
remedy in the courts of the State,
and not in protests to the President
nor appeals to Congress. The case
is exactly similar to that which oc-
CURED in Arkansas few years ago.


In glancing hastily at these occur
rences, we are apt to allow our
prejudiCes to bias our judgments,
and thus do injustice to those hold
ing opposite political Views. Let
us, therefore, be careful to think the
matter over before forming opinions,
and remember that those against whom
we pronounce judgments in our haste
aud partiality may be as patriotic, just
and right as ourselves. When any man
does wrong we will lie ready to condemn
him, but we would first prefer to be as
sured that he has done wrong, other
wise we may find ourself condemning
unfairly.

But suddenly cry aros efrom one ofthe
men xhostood nearest the hatchway.


''The ship is sinking!'


Every one started. Yes, the ship was siuk-
ing. No one had noticed it but the water
y;as already within few feet Of the top.
No doubt Zangori had been scuttling her
wheh he rushed out of the hold at the noise
of the attack.


There was nothing left but to hasten
away. There was time to save nothing
The bodies Of the dead had to be left with
the ship for their tomb.


In short time they had all hurried into
The boat and were pulling away. But lot
too soon. For scarcely had they pulled
away half a dozen boat-lengths from the
ship, than the water, which had been ris-
ing higher and higher, more rapidly every
moment, rushed madIy with final onset
to secure its prey; and with groan, like
that Of some living thing, the ship went
down.


A yell came from over the water. 1t
rose from the Malay proa, which was NOV.
ing away as fast as the long sweeps could
carry her. But the dead were not revenged
only, they were remembered.


Not long after reaching the Falcon the
sailors were summoned to the side which
looked towards the spot where the ship
hap sunk, and the solemn voice Of Bran

1t was natural that a young girl that
had gone through such fearful ordeal
should for sometime feel its effects. Her
situation excited sympathy Of all on board
the ship; and her appearance was such as
might inspire chivalrous respect in the
hearts of those rough but kindly and sensi-
tive sailors who had taken part in her res
cue.


Her whole appearance marked her as
one of no common order. There was
about her an air of faristocratic grace, which
inspilsd involuntary respect; an elegance
of manner and complete self-rossession
which marked perfect breeding. Added
to this, her face had something which is
greater even than beauty-or at least
something without which beauty is feeble
namely, character and expression. Her
soul spoke out in every lineament of her
face, and threw around her the charm Of
spiritual exaltation.


To such charm as this Brandon did
not seem Indifferent. His usual self.ab-
straction seemed to desert him for time.
The part that he had taken in her rescue
of itself formed a tie between them; but
there was another bond in the fact that he
alone, of all on board could associate with
her on equal terms, as high bred gentle
man with high-bred lady.
The Hindu had at once found occupa-
ton, for Brandon, who had seen the stuff
that was in him, offered to take him for
his servant.


He said that his uame was Assgelo, but
he was commonly called Cato, and pre-
terred that name to any other. He re-
garded Brandon as his saviour, with all
the superstition Hindus can feel, aud
looked up to this saviour as superior be-
ing.


The offer of employment was eagerly
accepted, and Cato at once entered upon
the few duties which bis situation could re-
quire on ship.board.


Meanwhile the young lady remained un.
known. At first she spent the greater part
of her time in her room, and only came
out at meal times, when the sadness of her
face prevented anything except the most
distant courtesy. No one knew her name,
and no one asked it. Cato was ignorant
Of it. She and the old nurse had only
been known to him as the young missis |
and the old missis.


Brandon, reused from his Indifference,
did all in his power 10 mitigate the gloom
Of this fair young creature, whom fate had
thrown in his way. He found that his at.
enlions were not unacceptable. AT length

At the close of the year four gentlemen
retired from Office in this county whose long

Hon. JOHN A. WATERMAN of Gotham

Judge of Probate three times, having held
the office more than twelve years. In that
period it is safe to say that onefourth of the es-
tates in the conuty have been in the Probate
Court for settlement. Those who know most
of the business of the Office are free to declare
that Judge Waterman has not only been an
efficient officer but that he has always brought
to the discharge of his delicate and response
BILE duties conscientious purpose to admin
ter justice to all. 1t may be said of Judge
Waterman with the utmost truthfulness that
he has won the esteem and confidence of his
fellow citizens aud is entitled to be called a
just judge. 1t is matter of congratulation
that Judge Waterman is succeeded by gen.

DANIEL w. FEssENDEN ESQ has been

the model clerk. Mr.. Fessenden has hosts of
friends, who, in the expressive vocabulary of

occasion offers.


WILLIAM K. NEAL ESQ has fairly achieved
the reputation of being an efficient and pains
taking officer and had his name been sub
mitted to the people for reelection outside of
party bias, he would have received large
majority of the votes of the county.


EDWIN c. TOWNSEND, ESQ.,, has been a
County Commissioner for three years, during
the last of which he has been chairman Of
the Board. He has been distinguished by
good sense, industry and practical knowl-
edge OF affairs. He is entitled to special
credit for his efforts to establish workshops
in connection with the county jail, bene-
ficent enterprise which he has watched and
fostered with untiring zeal from its inception
to its recent successful accomplishment.
Every friend of humanity will award full
need of praise and congratnlation to him for
this crowning achievement of his official life.
