To Keep Tcis:atoc3.

T:ioc-c who are fond of ibis delicious fruit (or vegetable, as some call it.) and wish to have it all the year round, have- only to follow these directions

Peinove tb.e. peel of the tomatoes, nnl put a quantity in a porcelain kettle over a slow fire allow thorn- to cook KutiL-ienlly and to boil' five or ten minutes. Have "••ally some bottles fitted with corks, and before pouring in the tomatoes, put (ho l:ot~. ties in some warm water for a minute or two, to prevent the boiling fruit fronverackLng them. Tbev should be filled quite fuli,

that when the cork is pressed in it will just iouch the tomatoes. Cut. the cork even with (be neck of (lie bottle, and sesd over with some of the following: liosin, 2 lbs bees-wax, 4- lb, melted in a kettle. If is be. lo apply a little of it with a stick, so as to force it into every small hole and when it is suilicicntlv cool, (he neck can be dipped into the melted wax, which will prevent any access ©f air, which is absolutely ncce.-sary.— When required for the table, it is only ueecssary lo warm them up and season to suit.

If the above directions are attended to, you will liud the fruit equal to the fresU gathered. 1 bave thus prepared it for several years, and can show some that has been scaled up for three years, in'good condition.

Nearly every kind of fruit can be kept the same way. J. Buy

A Latly Pioneer—Description of Superior. Si Douglas eo Wisconsiu. Messrs. Eorroiis :—in compliance with tb.e request of some of our ciibens, I will endeavor to give you a dc'sciiption of our infant city. Did

really believe that these

gentlemen had requested me to write, because (bey supposed my pen more capable than (heirs, I should feel very much flattered. But no 1 I am convinced that it was simp:}', because, being a woman, 1 of course, had nothing else (o do! But if "duty .calls," some bodv "must olev," .and 1 suuinit to late. r:r\

Superior is situated on (be Wisconsin •side of St. Louis Bay, just above Left ii'ond lliver, an.d the h'caPon k^bcruitil'uk The bind rises gradually from tb.e water's edge, to a height which commands a view of the or,trance of the Bay, and ail the lovely scenery of' its shores. On the opposite side, which belong to' Minnesota, a long, narrow peninsula, low and sandy, extends far into the water. The trees have bceii mc. '.lj- cleared away, so that between them bave glimpses of the open Lake beyond, and above their tops, we catch our iirst iew of the smoke-wreaths which hciakl t.ie arrival of steamboats at our wilderness home. On the extreme point of tki.-, peninsular, area dock and vrare-house, and a few Jog buildings, bc-ddes the many barkcovered wigwams of th2 aborigines.

Bay is seven miles in length, and

igh, and covered to their forest (rees. This is the

Mineral Range. That on the north tide, belongs to Minnesotr, and has been explored.. All who know of its wealth, are waiting impatiently for (lie Treaty which is to cede these lands to the United States, as they are supposed to' contain the richest mines along the shores of Lake Superior. On the Wisconsin side of (he liver and bay, pre-emptions are constantly being made, and the, r^nkera! resources3. ill. s.cv.iC be developed. I

Oil our fin-l arrival, but two weeks ago, wc could not repress our mil thfulness at wua: seemed the extravagance of Luke Superior cirterpibe, and enthusiasm. But we have already caught its spirit, and can now predict for ourt-elve.- as glorious a future cs C-.I.T the "eldest j-nhabitaiit." The land in our irrfMediate vicinity is being very rapidly cleared of ks forest trees, save here and there a tiueiy-shaped balsam or mountain ash. and is all bad out into city lots which have sold almost immediately, and as fast as more are surveyed purchasers are leady.— iv*c'.w boat brings an accession to the numbers who' come to invest their surplus funds but as they can Iind 110 comfortable abiding place, they soon di appear, and are replaced bv new pur'ha c:-.

Saw-mil!s are \cry soon to be erected, but at j.resent all :ie lumber i- brought from below, at great expense. Of course, tenements are lew in proportion lo the population, ana we o£en wonder where the people we see around us, all can cat and sleep. A 'commodious Hotel is now neaily completed, am! when good board aud lodging can be obtjii.Cil, the number of permanent residents will le greatly augmented. As yet the knlie.i i.i our settlement are few, but tke gentlemen are plenty. Almost every rv atu in the Union is represented and generally not to its discredit.

The soil on this side of the Bay, is a reddish clay whkb v. iii make.cxcelieut bricks. White clover indigenous to the foil, an-1 wherever the trees are cleared away, it springs up immediately. Grasses v. ill also grow luxuriantly, and we can grow all sorts of vegetables, and all fruits except peaches, 'i he water in the springs is tinged with the hue of the clay through which it passes, jut is very soft. The climate is delightful, and however warm the almo-j here at midday, the nights are always cool, and induce a most refreshing sleep. The morning air is so invigorating, that our "down east" assiUidc is a forgotten feeling. The twiights are very long, aud morning dawns at. a very early hour.- It takes some time to learn the proper hours for rising aud reliving, as day light is no criterion.

We are making great efforts to train the rising town "in the'way it tdiould go," so that "when it is old it shall not depart from it." Mr. Xewton, the agent of the. Proprietors, refuses to tell lots to men who will keep groggeries. He has also given a tract of laud, besides pledging himself to contribute liberally to support the stated preaching of the gospel and e.To.ls are being made to procure a resident minis!rant of the holy writ. The inhabitants of Superior are more moral and orderly than are usually found in such a settlement in the wilderness.

In laying out the town, one lot to every eight blocks has been reserved for schools, and twenty lots have been reserved for churches. The Proprietors have donated also three Parks—two of five acres in extent, and one of ten—a Court House square of four acres—a Seminary square of three acres, and a Cemetery of fifteen acres.— The streets are eighty feet in width, and the avenues one hundred, with alleys between each tier of lots, are sixteen feet in width.

We confidently predict, that in a very few years, Superior will become a city which will be'no discredit to the Great North West! Yours, trulv,

The Biss cf aa American Party. That a strong feeling in favor of organbkig anew party under cover of an American nomenclature has been aroused throughout the Lxjion within the pu.-.t year, cannot be doubted after the evidences afforded by the late elections both here and clsewhoic. What the causes are which have led to this prevailing sentiment it is not our purpose at present to inquire. Whether it has grown out of the gradual abandonment or their distinctive political tcneivts by the Whigs and the consequent assimilation oi the two great parties of the country, or whether lias been induced by in Ikcreet ekor's in cc^a-n quarters to consolidate as a separate body, a purely foreign parly in

We bave been led to these rellociinns by the fact, as before stated, that very recently this American question, if it. may be so called, has risen into a vast prominence from one end of the United States to the other .and that various public and partisan newspapers perceiving the storm cloud, as they fancied it to be, which was to overshadow their local political politics, have been hurried into an ill-tempered denunciation of Americanism in the abstract as well as in the concrete—of Americanism flowing from deep sympathies with all that is pure and healthful and distinctive in our own government, or on our own soil, as well as of every self-assumed and self-styled Americanism with which the demagogue of the hour may seek to cloak himself to promote bis own sinister ends. Such journals strike in the dark, and like the Athenian bastard throwing stones at the crowd, are in danger of striking their own father. Neither is such a course in any manner wise or philosophical.

It is the very atmosphere in which patriotic feelings are nurtured. i:'crhaps there is no good ckk.en in all the land who if seriously questioned would not admit that be endorsed its promptings, rceoguked its teachings and approved its instincts, lie that would make war upon such a sentiment tlement in the United Slates by more than

The principle in which this fully aroused American sentiment must result—the thought to which it will give expansion and force—and the high interests which prompt and originate it are essentially coriect, con servativc and national. No matter from whence the impulse may have been used to istart it into splendid vitality, no matter towards what narrow and bigoted and intolerant ends designing persons may seek to direct incalculable energies—still the foundation is sound and solid—the primal element is right. Journalism therefore which scoffs at in toto—which ridicules or denounces the whole manifestation, of which the country is so fuli, which plumes itself upon partyism in hostility to Americanism, will neither carry weight and conviction with its. arguments nor receive support from the smypatliy of those to whom it appeals. They'who set their faces against the inslinctive affilitalion of the American peo pie must fall, and their fall will be meritcu and unregretted.

Tho.-e who intend to come, aud who feel an' interest iu the success of Freedom in Kansas, cannot come too soon. They should be here before the choosing of the iirst Legislative Council, as uponthat Council much wiil depend for, if it be ProSlavery, it will pass a law permitting Skivery in the Territory—and once established it will be hard to eradicate.

My main object now is to warn emigrants against the impositions of Slavery Propagandists, who are iu the practice of telling persons from the free States all manner of lying stories about Kau-ais, to defer (hem fro in coming here. As an instance, 1 may mention that a gentleman came here a few days ago from Pennsylvania, and, falling in with a prominent slaveholder, he was told that it was of no use to go furth2r, for the country was all claimed, and th: emigrants wore fighting over it 'hat the country was very sickly, .so that people could scarcely live with other stories of like character, all of which he knew to be false. But a .small part of the country is yet occupied, an 1 is now eight years since 1 fust came here, i-inee which time 1 have spent three years here, and il is my honest opinion that Kansas is one of the healthiest portions of the V\"est. The land is very high and rolling, and (here is the least standing or stagnant water that I have seen in any country. There arc many beautiful streams of running watci, and springs of good water are \e:y common. 1 would say to'emigrants, believe no bad stories th.it you may hear by the way, but push on, and those who conn: by way of Independence, or Kansas, in Missouri, may inquire for the Friends' Mission, and they will be correctly informed about the coiui--try, and sent on their way rejoicing.

When you see a female anxious to learn a trade, so as to earn something to support herself, and perhaps aged parents, you may be sure she will make one of the best wives.

The best qualities to look after in a wife arc industry, humanity, neatness, gentleness, benevolence and pjety.
