A JEALOUS FATHER. A MaUruaA «wu»l«ru. ‘ Katonah," ahOUted the brakemaii, opening the car-door as the train passed before a splendid little station on the Harlem mil"r road. Ido not know M I should have particularly noticed that we stoppedW all, for I had been napping it for some miles; but just as I was casting an inquiring, sleepy look out of the window, and settling myself for soother siesta, mv attention was attracted by the entrance of a young lady, a way-passen-ger. who,, perceiving the car was well filled, paused before me in evident embarrassmeat * » —* I scarcely wish the reader to infer from this that there was no vacant seats: on the contrary, the chair I occupied was selfishly monopolized by my shawl and valise, which had excluded many an occupant, and so the moment I observed the car door open I mentally resolved not to budge an inch; bnt one glance at the new-comer changed my mind. She was a young lady of exceeding bounty, dressed in the rich and tar*? style fifths" present fashion. Whether.it was her genteel aspect or the soft melancholy of her dark impressive eyes I cannot say, bnt when she ventured, almost timidly, to inquire if the half seat at my side “was engaged." I gallantly arose and proffered it to her at once I must acknowledge I felt somewhat flattered by her preference, for though a young man. and tolerably good looking. I had the sense to perceive there were far .better looking men around, who, like me. might Yiave ■hared their chair with the handsome lady ■tranger I fancied they envied me too, as the fair girl sat plump down, and her dainty form nestled close to my side. “I fear I have disturbed you," said my «x*mjumton, ixi* low, sweet voice that thriil•d me with its soft cadence. “Not at all, Miss," I rejoined with stereotyped politeness. “lam too happy to ohjige y° u ” She bowed and smiled in reply, and a short pause ensued, as is usual upon such sudden acquaintanceship In the meantime the train has started, and we rattled swiftly in the lively tint of Spring. The conductor came in, and went through his customary routine of examining the tickets. I percieV*h! bore was morked far New York, and after some hesitation I said: “You go to the city ?” “Yes," she replied with a smile of winning ' candor; “that I presume you have alreadyfound out” “I shall keep you company, then.” I observed pleasantly. “Thank you.sir." _ “ There was a slight dignity, I thought, in her tone which repelled further familiarity; so, as I am a very modest man, I drew back ■nd said nothing further. On rushed the steam horse upon- its iron railway. One more station has been passed, and I was fast relapsing into my former apathy when my lady friend to my surprise, leaned toward me and whispered “I am very timid on the cars." “Indeed,” said I quite charmed with her abruptness. “You surely are well accustomed to travelling ?” “Perfectly'” she replied with some nonchalence; “but thatisnot it exactly. There are so wurny dreadful accidents-on the railwnyd -- - • “Dreadful indeed!” echoed I. ‘ 'And, ” added my companion with naivete, “It is unpleasant to travel unattended. I usually have my brother Charlie with me. He is a splendid escort." “If you will allow me,” said I quite gallantly, “I will gladly occupy that position.” “I am much obliged to you, sir.” replied the young lady, with a grateful glance from her dark orbs, “yet I am half frightened to ■ ttnnk IMn accepting ihe escofToTa StfiiKg-' er; not that I fear you, sir; but alas ! I have a jealous father.” “A jealous father !” I repeated, somewhat puzzled and surprised. “Ah yes,” sighed the young lady. “It is my misfortunes while having wealth, health and almost everything that the heart can wish, to be under the control of a tyrannical old step-father, who treats me oftimes in the most cruel manner, debars me from the society of our sex, shuts me up in the gloom of my chamber, and treats me with pitiless rigor if I do as much as to speak to or look at a man.” “What a monster!” I ejaculated with a face of melo-dramatic sympathy. “That is the reason, "she continued, looking around her half-feariully as she spoke, “that is the reason why I am so diffident about entrusting myself to your care, but I did it on one condition.” “Name it,” I rejoined, charmed and delighted with the strange confidence the young lady was reposing in me. “That you leave me the instant the ears reach New York.” I was an bewitched by the beauty and charming insouciance of my quondam friend that I readily gave the required pledge. Apparently quite-relieved the young lady threw aside all reverse, and talked and chatted with me in the most pleasant manner potmble. It is needless to say that in an hour's time I had so far advanced in her good graces as to venture to press her hand, and the sweet half coquettish smile that played around the corners of her cherry lifie did flbt seem to disapprove of the liberty I had taken. “Do you know,” said she, as we satchatting confidently together, “that I liked your face the first time I saw it” “It was sympathetic on both sides, then,” I whispered, drawing her so near that I could feel her hot breath fan my cheek. • “Yes,” she murtnered gently withdrawing herself from my glowing embrace, for we had passed through the tunnel, and I had taken a lover’s advantage and snatched a hasty kiss. i -‘You are a naughty man —the naughtiest man I ever saw,” she said in a low and tremulous time. "If pa should be on the train, what would he say of such proceedings.” "Never fear, sweet creature,” I rejoined ognwtiy, “your cross old father is miles | away, and let us improve the present opport unity*” “Are you aware,” she observed half mischeviously, “that there is another tunnel beyond, a great deal darker too, than, the one w» have left?” “I know it,”’ said I, with a tender glance at my fair enslaver "We are drawing near ttfewtot” Onoe more I placed my arm around the waist of the lady, and wrapped up in the doom of the tunnel, took sweet pledges £vm her lips. It was very gratifying to my vanity. AB -good-looking men -tire vain, you know. I perceived that my lovely mmpanfou clcmg more affectionately to me s before; indeed, I had scarcely time to tear uyeelf from her arms when we emertgflitßMS more into broad daylight.

My sweet chariher, I replied, “Let us ! ever t>»* friends, (five me your nniu<- and addfiMm.” “My name audaddreiM," she responded, l ••you tAst never know, I already- feel frightened to think how far T WWT pertftffted mysidf to venture with a stranger. Forgive and forget me." “A flirt—a coquette I"“No, no.” she returned "hurriedly, tfressing my hand: “I am not a flirt, but I dare not—as much as I think of you -let the acquaintance proceed further. Have pity on me—have pity !" . She looked" so pleadingly, so entreatinglv, with those dark soft eyes gleaming through she silken meshes of her veil, that I could not persuade niynelf to be offended with her. At last sbe reluctantly consented to give her name, and handing me a prettily embossed card I read, “Kate Parrel. No. University Place.” The, taain had reached Thity-second street , and I could see that-my fair inamorata grew every moment more restless and disturbed. First her bead poured out of the window, and then she would half rise and cast hurried and fearful glen?!* liehind.

Already I was beginmugto share the uncomfortable feeling of my comi«inion as visions ot angry papa flourishing a cane over my head rose vindlv Wore my mind s eye, when suddenly Miss Darrel uttered an exclamation, rose from her seat and unceritnonfoualy darted from the car. I wondered at the ease and dexterity with which she descended, though the oar was propelled quite rapidly by horse power, but my wonder and surprise was destined to lw considerably increased when, a few minutes afterwards, a thick-set, sternlooking gentleman entered from the side, his eyes inquisitively scanning the face of each lady passenger. t-Halloo !' said he rather gruffly, pausing liefore me, “has a young lady beenoccupy- . ing thia aaat?" 1 “Yes, sir," I replied, somewhat disconcerted and quite abashed. “Light jockey, maroon-colored silk and gray travelling cloak ?" pursued he interrogatively. “I believe that was her costume,' I replied, sulkily. “By Gad! she’s given me the slip again!" cried’the gentleman, slapping his breeches pocket with much emphasis. “Given you the slip,” I repeated, a sudden and awful light breaking upon me. “Yes, the jade is as sharp as a noble.” “Pray, sir?’ said I, with a sligh sensation of suffocation, “may I be ho Wold as so inquire if vou are the father of that voting lady?” ' Father, the devil! No, sir, lam a dvtoetivet” “Then,.” said I with desperate calmness, “who is thia young lady ?' . .•» i." —■■yu “Bless my soul, she is Nancy Dacors, the fashionable pickpocket. By gad, sir, has she been playing her pointe on you?" The detective grinned, and the passengers, gradually comprehending the “situation,” smiled provokingly. I did not reply —the intolligeuco was stunning and mortifying in the highest degree. So my beautiful companion was nothing more than a member of-the “swell mob,” and I, while flattering myqelf upon having made a conquest. in reality had been the victim of a cunning and designing deceiver; and. well had she duped me. for even while I was snatching those dear-bought kisses she had dexterously relieved me of my watch and - puree, uud it "may bo readily believed that my adventure was not without its moral, or that I was thereafter quite as eager for a Rah-boad Flibtation.

The Hidden Sights of New York.

(N. X Correspondence of Providence Free*. ] We turned into Five Points, and went into some of the lodging houses. Think of thirteen persons crouched in one sniall room, without a window, or any ; hole but the door! Male and female, black and white, little children—all bundled iu a heap together on the ilirty straw. The air was like a pest house. One glance was enongh—one taste of that air will last a life time. Jt was a clean lodging place. Cheap indeed it was—and nasty! Pounding at one door for admission brought out B comely-looking black woman. “Rouse up your husband, I. must see him,” said the delective. The husband came; he was a white man! “They have lived together as man and wife over two years.” Sharpen! said to me afterward, “and they get along first-rate." Here was a place where children lived. Two or three rooms, in a battered old that shook with every step over its floors? The children were homeless ones, fatherless and motherless. turned out_tQ live or die, as might be, in the streets of careless, heedless New York. Here they come to sleep, paying the old hag who kept the room nix eente a night. By day they tramp the city, getting a living in any way they could best. They were cuddled around the rooms under scanty, dirty blankets, and kept warm by a wretched stove glowing feebly in one corner. Moat of them were bovs, ppp? over twelve years: wedged in with them, though, were some hungry-looking girls, in whose faces the hard lines of want, and sickness, and privation were growing already. It made me heartsick to look at them —lonely strays ! Poor, motherless things! May He in infinite love and mercy forget thee not ! Down in the cellar was a gang of ragpickers. They were getting ready for work, and with hook and basket would soon be out over the city, working their business. Piles of rags, bones, offal, broken iron filled the place, save where a few articles of furniture stood. They were Italians, and not disposed to be sociable. One had his bed luxuriously arranged on a pile of old carpet rags, which were damp and noisome with the mud of the streets. These rag-pickers manage to make money in their dirty way; they save it, too, and some of these years they will gh home to their country and cnjby it. The women work as hard as the men, live as roughly, have no shame or decency about sexual matters, are as strong limbed. I asked the age of one of the Women who seemed rather more disposed to talk than the others. She was thirty-one. ‘ tshould have said fifty. She had not one trace of youth left—a hard, weatherbeaten face, a body bent and unhinged, a slow, plodding step and wrinkles coming. ’She had beehln New Yorkreeven yents—all the time a rag-picker. Had she got rich enough to go back ? Rich enough! and she smiled—-“I have two children in Italy that my money is educating. They don't know their poor mother, poor dears, but I shall work hard for them, and sometime I will go back and see them I” This woman carried a bag and fished in gutters and refuse barrels, from four iu the morning till past sunrise, came home and sorted rags and offal all day in a close, damp cellar; and yet there was a tender, romantic sentiment in her life which made her look not to herself but to her'little ones. May she have her wish and go back to them.

Liberia.

The report of the condition of affairs in this country, sent to Washington by Commander Jeffers of the Swatara, is very interesting. The evidences of success iu the attempt to introduce civilization into Africa are manifest to the visitor. The great want, however, is capital, while another obstacle has been that the greater part of the immigrants have not been agricultural laborers? Too many are from the Northern cities, and of mixed blood, and unable to stand the climate. They resort to trading with the natives for support For this reason Liberia does not raise sufficient suitable food to support the immigrant population, and actually imports it from the United States. The Southern plantation laborers succeed well Universal suffiage is considered injudicious, aad only educated persons are allowed to vote. Commander Jeffers thinks if an impression is to be made on Africa, it will be through this colony, which seems to be based on Christianizing and moralizing principles, while the other establishments are based on trade in ram, gunpowder and muskets. —Daring the coining theatrical season there wifi be twenty-one theatres ia full blast

THE FIGHTING IN PARAGUAY.

Atlauti o* JBvmIIIuB Boat *—C'uptwre as The Anglo Brazilian Times has several account* of the fighting on the Paraguay river, and on’laud, preceding the capture of the Fortress of Humaita, showing the most determined energy and bravery on hrAh rVmnariHnff tha best Ettaok midnight on the 9th of July, one writer

savs “The Paraguayans had twenty canoes fattened together in pain, each boat with twelve men and an officer in it, and they came from the River Bermejo, edging along the island of Montevita and oohiing out liehind a great collection of aquatic plants, which lay not far from the leading vessel, the Barroso, which, with the Rio Grande. lay al-ovu Tayi As soon- as thev camo beyond these Slants the officers on duty on the arroso receiv' d them and called the men to quarters, so that by the time the boats got alongside the forward part of the vessel the crew were able to keep up a severe musketry fire from the inside and top of th' casemate, and as soon as a sufficient number bad got on deck the two forward guns of the casemate were discharged, loaded with grope, into them, causing gret>t destniction 'rhe Paraguayans fired revolvers, and they also attempted to throw inside the battery asphyating and inflammatory grenades, but without success, and then, finding they could effect nothing forward, tfie Ixiats were dropped astern, blit were repulsed in like manner by the fire of the defenders. Meantime the vessel had gathered way sternwatds. by the working of her screw, and the Paraguayan boats were all ups< tor filled with Water. Some of the Piragnayans then jumped into two boats belonging to the Barroso, and paddled off to the monitor Rl6 Grande, and the rest were destroyed by the crew of the Borroso, who sailed out and slew all that were clinging to the upset or waterlogged boats. Abont the same time the monitor Rio Grande was boarded by the , remaining Paraguayans. The Rio Grands was then within reach of the fire from j Tayi, whose musketry showered upon the swimming Paraguayans. Thirteen boats were captured and the others sunk. Seven Paraguayans were made prisoners on board the two vessels.”

Concerning the capture of Humaita an account written from Passo I’ocn says: ’ “On the evening of the 16th July, Osorio with 10,(100 mpn attacked the part of the works of Humaita, known us the triangle. Tbe two battalions forming., the vanguard got close to’ one of the redoubts without opposition, but when within short range, reeeive<l a tt-rriHe fire Empc "and musketry, which threw them into disorder. The other battalions were then brought up to their support and the redoubt was carried with the bayonet,'but with considerable loss. That he then sent word to the Marquis de Caxias that he held a redonbt and wanted all the reserves at oner- to enable him to bold it and pursue the advantage gained; bnt Caxias ordered him to retreat. That on this order being given, tli? troops fell into confusion, and in their retiral were swept by grape, falling dead in hundreds, and that Osorio, who had two horses killed under him and lost most <4 his staff, was unable to control them in their retreat. Two battalions were almost entixelv. destroy cd in less than forty minutes, and the writer says the Brazilian Joss was at least one thousand men, most of them killed. Another writer says the Paraguayan missiles flew as thick as a handful of .grain; that one battalion, the 4th of the . line, lost ■27.oflfoerß.QHt -2IL-4Uld. nearly, all the privates. He estimates the Brazilian loss at 800 killed and 500 wounded. Another says 1,019 privates and over 150 officers were killed and wounded. The ditches, at part attacked, are said to be of extraordinary depth and width, and the abattis to have been 20 feet higfi, The iron-clad Lima Barros, engaged the batteries of Humaita at the same time. A shell exploded close to one of the gun ports of the forward turret, instantly causing the death of two men, wounding or bruising seven more and setting fire to the mattress lining of the turret. Beside this she was struck with fifteen shot. Anew Paraguayan battery of two guns opened upon the allied position in the Chaco, and thus placing it between two fires, that of the battery and that of Humaita, the Marquis de Caxias ordered Gen. Rivas to attacK upon the 18th and dismantle the new; work. By General Cclly Obes’s dispatch to General Mitje it appears that the battery lay beyond a deep stream and that the ground was almost flooded. Col. Martinez was ordered to advance and reconnoitre the ground with the Rioja battalion, forty or titty skirmishers and two Brazilian battalions, with iionsnottopassthebridgewjtiieh?ihe_Paragnayans had on the stream. Rivas, with the mainlbrces. hail not' started when he received word from Martinez that he had killed forty or fifty Paraguayans; and had learned from prisoners that the Paraguayans were in force. Rivas sent word that he was coming, but before he had mounted received information that Martinez had advanced, Orders were sent to him to retire: but when Rivas arrived he found tEe “ vangnanT lia<T alreafly been routed" and pursued. Checking the pursuit, he obtained reinforcements of two battalions, and drove the Paraguayans over the bridge alter a severe fight. The lossß Of the allies were severe, being stated iu the dispatch at 350 killed and wounded. Many of tho» Riojun battalion threw themselves into the river, and some were picked up. together with their flag, by the gunboats Martinez and Campos, and were either killed or prisoners. Another statement makes the loss 500. Gen. Rivas’ dispatch states the loss to have been as follows: Argentines. 91 killed and 224 wounded; Brazilians. 6(1 killed and 208 woundedTotal, 585.”

A Few Maxims for Young Girls.

Never make your appearance in the morning without having first brushed and arranged your hair, atid dressed yourself neatly and completely. Keep your clothing in perfect order,— Never let pins do duty as- buttons, or strings take the place of proper bands. Examine every garment when it comes from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it with neatness and precision. Do not sew up the holes in your stockings, as we have seen some careless, untidy girls do, but take in iv broad margin around the hole, be it small or large, with a tine darning needle and darning cotton, and cover the fracture with an interlaced switrh. so close as to be as strong as the body of the stocking, and fine enough to be ornamental. Train yourself to useful occupatlbn. Remember it is wicked to waste time, and nothing gives such an impression of vani-' ty and absolute silliness as a habit of idleness and never having anything to do. If yoiT are in your father's house, take some department of household labor upon yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make it your business to attend to it. Do not let a'call from this idle girl, or a visit from that, or an invitation from the other, interfera with the performance of your

duty. If .you can cultivate to perfection some art by which you could gam an independent livelihood, do it whether there fa a necessity for it or not. Do it quietly, if you will, but do it There is no telling I when or under what circumstances you may need it. Pbesebvation of Buildings from Decay.—We have before adverted to the use of superphosphate of litae and barytes in protecting calcareous stone from the corrosive action of the sulphuric acid liberated by burning coal Another method adapted to the preservation of any stone surface, and much used lately, is the application of several coats of soluble glass. This has now been tried on many large edifices in France, England, Germany, &c., with gratifying success—forming a transparent coating, which does'not deface the stone in the least—allowing the finest carving to be seen through it —lt is stated tbit M. de Champs, the French interpreter who Accompanied the Chinese Embassy, will return to Boston within a few mouths to ratify a matrimonial engagement made daring his stay in Boston.

FARM, GARDEJi ANJ) MOVSEHOLD. Lab<ik Hon.- Having been rained among the hop fields of Central }iew York, it has been our luck to see many thousands of acres of the vine, growteg and matured, aadformauy yeara in aaccaaaion; l»ut never did we see in that home of hop culture such hops as we saw the othar day upon the farm of A. G. Darfrin, Esq., near this city Hearings neighbor speakof them we went unsolicited to look at them, and Wore Well [slid for the tfonbie. Never did we see vines ho loaded from the tips almost down to the ground, as those were, nor cones of such extraordinary length and site. We should think they wonld average an foch and a half iu length—two inches and two and a half being very common, with hero and there a specimen three inches long. " A part of Mr. Darwin’s field was trained on ]Kiles and a ]>art on stakes and strings, the latter lieiug the portion we saw—the jioles having been all picked. Mr. Darwin informs us that with no better gound and the same cultivation, those on strings yield nearly twice as mucn as those on long ■poTes. This seems to' demonstrate the practicability if not the superiority of training on strings. The cause of greater productiveness when trained on strings, should it prove to be a general fact, will be an in.taruKtiug subject oi" inquiry. Mr. Darwin’s method into put a stake st every hill seven or eight feet high and stretch strings from the. top of one to another, and part off the vine at the top of the stake to meet on the strings in the niKldle. This saves one half of the poles, and if the crop is doubled by this moans, it must prove a vast improveI ment in hop growing. The ground of this field is nature lly rich, hut though it has been cultivated for a number of ypara, it has 'never been manured. Wisconsin Farmer.

Chubhino Milk.—A subscriber desires I ns t<> describe the process of churning milk, ithe chum jwed.for the purpoHe, advantages lof churning milk’in yield and quality of product, etc. English writers on dairying unite in giving their testimony in favor of churning the entire milk rather than the cream that rises upon it. The amount of butter is said to average five per cent, more by the former than by the latter method; and it is said that the butter so made is not only sweeter and of better flavor when it is churned, but that it will keep much longer with li sa liability to become rancid. It is perfectly natural to suppose that much of the flavor of butter comes fropi the gases vvlnciriirirabsorbed by the milk in foul and badly ventilated cellars and milk-houaes, and that the sooner the butter is separated from the milk the freer it will be from these impurities. Few substances are so liable to alisorb unpleasant odors as eream, and, exposed as it is on the top of the pan, it is ■ rrlmrwt snre to eafrh npd retain any particles of dust or other substances that are floating in the.air. Besides these advantaged, it is claimedthat there is less irregularity in the time of producing butter when milk is churned, than when ouly the cream is used, and that the time required for the operation is in favor of the milk. For the successful churning of milk, the temperature should be about ten degrees higher than cream. There is, of courser more labor required toagitate the large body of milk than the small amount of cream; but thjs additional labor would appear to bo much less than that required to set the milk, skim the '•ream and keep the milk dishes sweet and "clean. The "fiiaiiner of ch urniag is lbe siime in either case.— Prairie Farmer.

‘ ‘Deacon’’ as Applied to Calves. —2 ‘Wha t is the origin of the term deacon, applied to , talxuar'L Thg...inquiry’ i&.tiniely..aa.profo. ably not half a dozen dairymen in the country know where or how this word, now so generally used in dairy districts, originated. In the early days of cheese-making in this country, there lived a good deacon in' the town of Norway, (Herkimer Co.. N. Y.,) I who, like many other good men, had a sharp eye for profit. He fatted and killed many veal calves and sold to the mechanics at the “Corners.” Then, as now, at least among people of New England origin, public sentiment would not tolerate veal less than four weeks? bld; but the love of gain with the old deacop was stronger than the fear of .public opinion, and he did sell, or was accused of selling, veal quite too young, and'so. the villagers, by way of reproach and ridicule, called his veal “deacon” veal, and from this the term began to be applied to young calves, and has spread, and is used quite generally in dairy sections. Young calves are “deacons;” when killed, they are I ‘deaconed, " and calf skins are “deacon farmer. Stewed Tomatoes. —To a dozen large tomatoes mince a good sized onion (or less if preferred), and if the flavor of the onion is not liked, omit it altogether:’a tablespobnful oFgood brown sugar, a teaspoonful of pepper, salt to taste, a teacup of bread crumbs, a large heaped tablespoonful of good butter. Put in a covered stewpan, and cook an hour; shake the pan well and frequently. Beat up the yolks of two or three eggs, and just before serving; stir Uiem rapidly to the tomatoes; let them remain a minute, and serve in a small tureen or covered disfi. This is a fine accompaniment to all kinds of baked or roast meat. Tomatoes are best cooked a long while. They are excellent seasoned and boiled in a double kettle a. long time—for a quart, two hours. Their own jnice will be sufficient fluid. To Raise Blackbbries.—A writer in the Practical Farmer, says: “To insure good crops requires close attention; the canes should be kept thin and well headed back; and on poor land an occasional dressing of manure, muck, or fertilizers of some kind, adds to the quantity and quality of the fruit There is no likelihoodof the market being overstocked with the fruit, as it pays well to make it into wine. Three quarts of blackberries and three pounds of sugar, with the addition of a little water, will make a gallon of wine, highly recommended' for its medicinal properties, worth $2 per gallon while new; and its value in creases with age. All the poorer berries, those that are too ripe to ship to market, may he properly converted into wine at home; an<J only the finest and most perfect fruit sent to market, which will always command a fair price."

How to make Tomato Fies.—Pour boiling water over the tomatoes in order to remove the skins; them weigh them and place them in a stone jar, with as much sugar as you have tomatoes, and let them stand two days, then pour off the syrup, and boil and skim it until no scum rises. Then pour it over the tomatoes, and let them stand two days as before; then boil and skim again. , After the third time they are fit to dry, if the weather is good; if not, let them stand in the syrup until dry weather. Then place on large earthen plates or dishes, and put them in the sun to dry, which will take about a .weeji, after which pack them down in small' wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between each layer. Tomatoes prepared in this manner will keep for years. / Imports and Prices of Wool.—Tfee N. Y. Economist states, that the iinporta of foreign wool at New York, fordhc first half of the year, are only about half the quantity and' value of those for the same period of last year. “For the first sfet months of we imported 13,000,000 lbs., valued at $2,233,000, against 6,700,000 ibs., this year, (1868);valued at $1,105 000. The decrease bus been principally in the arrivals from England, the Argentine Republic and Mexico, while those from Russia have been doubled. The abundance of the home erop, especially jn’’California and Texas, has limited our wants for foreign descriptions.” The leading item injhe table given for 1868, is the Russian wool imported, amounting to. 3,122,013 Ibs. Pears.—Gather pears as soon us the stem will separate freely from the tree by gently raising the fruit. Flace the pears in single layers, and cover with flannel, when a few days only will elapse before they will ripen and color up even more beautifully than when left upon the tree, besides retaining, or rather developing, a more juicy property; so that some varieties of only second or third quality, when ripened on the tree, become nearly first-rate when house-ripen-ed.—Horticulturfot

Picxled Tomatoes.—Always use those which ‘are thoroughly ripe- The small round ones are decidedly the best. Do not prick them as most receipt books direct. Let them be in strong brine three or four days, then put them down in layers in your jars, mixing them with small onions and piece*) bf horse radish; then pour on the vinegar-chid, which should be first spiced; as for peppers let there be" a spice bag to throw rntn every pot. Cover tnenrcarefully, and set them in the cellar for a fnll month before using. . Green tomatoes can lie pickled in many of the ways that are used for green cucumbers, but it is usually best to add a large amount of pepper and spices to give them flavor. Potato Sprouts.—A writer in the Country Gentleman states, as the result of his experience, that superior potatoes, free from rot or Stirl on the leaf, may be grown by sprouting the potafogs in a heap, and then removing and planting the sprouts and the Ahrons roots adhering to them.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.

A Man Shot In Thirty-two Places—A Woman In the Case. (From ths Peoria Transoript, — A desperate shooting affray took place on Sunday morning last, in Havana, Mason ceunty. by which John Bennett was desperately 1 wounded. It appears that there is a widow woman named Steen living in Havana. This woman has a daughter Mary Jane Styen, and, a man uqmed Jaiyes Young, it is said, has been keeping her for the last six months. For several evenings during the last week, boyfl and young men have been in the habit of stoning Mrs. Steen’s house. She to a constable and made complaint; and the constable gave her a revolver and told her to shoot the first man who disturbed the housL On the morning in question, at about three o’clock, two young men named George Harrison and John Bennett went to the house apd asked to see Mary Jane Steeii. Tip old lady asked them if they could speijK to her from where they stood. Benuetoflaid “no,” and rapped hard on the door. ■ The door was opened from the inside. Bennett declares he did not break it open, and he stepped inside and received a charge of tine shot under the right shoulder, thirty-twee of the shot piercing his breast. When the shot was -fired Mrs-. Steen screamed, “My God, you have killed him.” Bennett replied, “No you haven’t. It was that Jim Young who shot me. and I can whip him the best day he ever saw.” Harrison ran for assistance, and while he was gone Bennett called to others for assistance.

A crowd gathered, and the wounded man was taken to John Miller’s livery stawas attended by Drs. Martin and Doffenburger. Op the way down he claimed that Young was the man who shot him, but the Steen family say that it was done by a son of Mrs. Steen’s--a lad about 19 years of age—and of an unsound mind. They say that Young was not in the house that night, and that Stem fired the shot. Bennett was taken to his brothers house the next day, where ho now lies. The doctors say that he cannot possibly recover, and it is thought that he will die before morning. When asked how he is getting along be- answers, "Oh I’m gone up. ” Young was arrested and placed under amination, which comes off to-d iy. Steen was lodged in jail. Sunday afternoon Young requested to sec Bennett, in order to ask him if he thought he (Young) was the man who shot him, but the doctor refused to allow him to do so. Young has a brother in Havana who is a respectable man—a carpenter. Young himself has been engaged driving team for Low & Foster, lumber dealers. Bennett has a brother, a tinner, also a respectable man. Bennett is also a tinner, and has been working for his brother for the last two years, and was well thought of. The Steens were bad characters. Young’s family deny that he was at the house that day.

Soap Growing on Trees.

Soap berries are being found in immense quantities throughout Alaska they grow on a bush about the same in appearance as whortleberries. When ripe they are red, of a juicy and quinine taste, and are generally biennial. One quart taken and placed in a tub the size of a barrel will, when, stirred completely fill the tub with a froth, and the more it is stirred with the naked hand and arm the stiffer it becomes, until you can cut it with a knife. It is eaten with horn or wooden spoons, all the family sitting round the tub. It is undoubtedly an acquired taste, but the commodity is much sought for. The froth is of a beauMful pink color. Green berries will make nearly the same amount of froth, but it is of a white color, and is not so highly flavored. Foreigners stir it with'port or sherry wines, and add sugar, in which case it is a delicious luxury. Large quantities are dried, by being placed in a tub with their leaves, forming a cake, which is placed in wicker tables, with light fires under and the sun overhead. When dried they will keep in a dry place for some years. The dried berries are black and look dirty. A piece two inches square, beaten in a water pool, will fill it full of froth, of a dark pink color. T •

Sagacity pF a Hobsb. —An old family horse that has been running at will through the streets and commons lost one of his .shoes, and with the intelligence of a human being, the old horse walked up to the blacksmith’s where he had been shod for the last twenty years, and to the best of his ability asked the smith shoe him, by raising his foot and stamping the ground. The smith being busy, drove him away several time* 'during the day, and thought nothing of it. The. next morning on going to the shop he found the old horse at the door; again he drove him off, but the horse came back, and entering the shop, walked up to the anvil, and there raised his foot, thus attracting the particular notice of the smith, who examined the foot, and finding it worn off to the “quick,” kindly picked up an old horse shoe and fitting it to his foot, nailed it on; when the., gfeteful animal frisking his tail by way of thanks, trotted off contentedly.—.Vodiwa (Ohio) Courier.

Starvation at Selkirk Settlement-The Grasshopper Invasion.

(From tbs St. Paul Ptsm.] ; AM public attuatinn has n-cemily been directed to the destitute u/ul almost starv ing condition of a riortion of the inhabitants of the Selkirk Settlement. every item ot news from there possesses more ox less evouiag foi!, gentlemen arrived from the Settlement, who left there qn the third of the month. They are Thomas Banrt, Roderick Roes, A. McKav and John Southerland. These gentlemen ftriiy confirm the reports which have previously been made of the condition of the inhabitants of that Settlement. The hunters returned from the chase without a mouthful of meat, the buffalo having abandoned their usual haunts. Many of them are preparing to go out again and follow the game to the remote retreats where they are now finding shelter. These hunters will be absent during the .winter, and will subsist upon what they take in the chase. 1 The destitute that remain nt home will number several thousand, for whom provision must be hmde by charitable contributions, or they will Perish bv starvation. The Catholic bishap is already providing for many of those wls> are under ’. is S pj. ritual supervision, and he will give aid’ to them from time to time, an their necessities may require. The grasshopper invasion seems to have been very remarkable in some of its features. They came out of the ground where they hatched, in perfect multitudes, and covered the whole face of the country. _ They seemed to advance iu masses some- , times several inches deep, and where a house or fence obstructed their progress, they would pile up in heaps to the depth of more than a foot, They were all the time preying upon one another, end the living would soon consume the dead, except the shelly portion and the legs. These lay about the houses so thickly and the stench from their decaying remains was so offensive that men had to turn ont with shovels and wheelbarrows in some instances and thus carry them away from the immediate vicinity of dwellings. Fields, gardens—everything, was consumed by them until parts of the country was left a desolate, waste. Our informant thinks that no vestage of this plague remains to hatch out another crop next year. Food for the starving will only bfi required to assist them through the long and severe winter, and then seed to plant crops in the spring, and, if no other misfortune falls up>n them, they will lie self-sustaining thereafter. These gentlemen brought Jowil IVtrain Qf Red. St. Cloud to carry back supplies for themselves and the community to which they belong. _ A Double Winpfaij.—The Rochester (N. Y.)
