LOCAL MATTERS.

Thursday, June 20, 1673.

So many of our patrons who have heretofore had their copies of This Union delivered at the post Office in Rensselaer having intimated a desire to receive them at this "office hereafter, we are led to think it is nearly a universal wish, and that most all who have not mentioned it to us, either forgot to do so or had not opportunity. Therefore after this issue we shall retain in our office all copies for local patrons not 'expressly ordered to be delivered in the post office. Those who take The Union through the post office after this week will bo required to pay postage thereon at the rate of twenty cents per annum, or five bent a quarter, in advance.

Alter has repurchased the interest in Harding’s drug store, sold by him several months since. The new firm does business under the old namo of Jlarding & Alter, which was so favorably known through the county. Retail liquor sellers of Jasper county may save SSOQ fine and much annoyance by posting up #spicuous place, as the law directs. 'These ornaments bring no more .disgrace to a house than the traffic -they license. 'The nicest assortment of children’s . shoes and slippers, ever in this market, .at Purcupile & Co.’s.

McLain’s Candied Castor Oil is a delicious syrup of the castor bean, a harmless and reliable cathartic medicine. , 5r396t^

Three brevet widowers are now enjoying the horrors of single blessedness in this delightful town, and being treated to a foretaste of that Utopian era when the doctrines of Mesdames Stanton* Anthony & Co., (blast them), shall be popular.The better fractions of these three wretched males are away visiting their mammas, add perhaps flirting with old beaus—playmates at school may be. Do not know how the other two make it, but we are rapidly becoming discouraged, as the novelty of the situation gives place to monotony. Spider ■webs, dust, bits of straw, feathers, grease spots appear mysteriously and in frightful profusion about our quarters, notwithstanding the fact that neatness and order are among our most carefully cultivated virtues.— In some unaccountable way the chairs get into the middle of the room and become occupied by various articles of personal apparel. Only the other morning one of our boots was found on the table and the other one under the stove, while our hat was keeping cool in a bucket of water. Several strange cats, with glaring eyes, have lately been seen to scoot through the house after dark; they impudently inspect our larder when the hot water is used up and the boot-jack is away out of reach under the bed. Occasionally these feline brutes amuse themselves about two o’clock iu the morning with a diabolical attempt lo sing a stave or two of “Home, sweet home.” At such tinl?s one cau’t enjoy religion with any degrec*of satisfaction, and feels as though he would like to croquet those cats with a stave from a cooper shon, or a piece of Handel, Wish cats were cut off in the budding of youth. Our bed has a wilted, dejected appei'ance, and the pillows look crushed and broken-hearted. They seem as though brooding over some deep, hidden, undermining sorrow that is silently wearing away their naturally robust proportions, leaving but hard, lank skeletons where once was founded German type of beautyT For some cause our appetite is becoming dilapidated, and victuals don’t relish well. It is not from surfeit, because we are very frugal tii our diet. The experiences of two weeks have convinced us that it is not a good plan to poach eggs in water that has been used to boil potatoes with their skins on; something might be urged in favor of the plan on the score of economy, but eggs cooked in this manner lose their delicate flavor and their pearly and golden tints become discolored. Coffee made in the same utensil that pork steak has been fried in is rich with essential oil, but sadly deficient in delightful aroma. Pound cake put into a hot oven at breakfast time, in a stove filled to the lids with oak wood and left until noon these warm summer days, is apt to have a thick, glossy, black frosting; it will also be bitter in flavor like lager beer, and too short and crisp lor pleasant mastication. Nobody looking at such a cake would call it light any more than they would thing of saying a Guinea negro’s complexion is light, yet it will float on water as buoyantly as a piece of cork. For several hours after ..baking is done according to the foregoing recipe a peculiar odor may bo detected in and about the premises; but that need cause no alarm, as it don’t smell worse than disinfectants kept in drug stores. There is a somewhat queer taste about cherries stewed in fresh lard and sweetened with sorghum molasses, which some people may like; but a small dish served up in this style has proved an economical luxury. Do not remember when anything nice has ever appeared on the table while Julia Ann was at home that lasted near as long. It must be she is a ravenous gourmand; that matter will need investigating when she comes back. Perhaps it is a good plan to mix dough for crullers and light bread, and set if out doors on the south side of the house to rise; we say “perhaps” because we are not really satisfied on that pojut; a flock of our neighbor’s hens assisted by a stub-tailed yellow dog and three runtling pigs, interposed obstacles preventing satisfactory experiment in that direction. We now buy crackers and bread Irom tho bakery.

Wool.— Mr. A. Leopold; of the firm of Leopold & Fendig, has recently returned from a tour among the wool factories and has received from them a large assortment of flannels, jeaus, blankets, etc., and is now to pay the highest market price for all the wool in Jasper county—either in exchange for factory goods or in money, as the seller may desire. *. • McLain's Vermifuge Bonbons are delightful worm candies, OhiM- >( ren are delighted with them. 5r39 dm - ' • * ' . * ”, - - " »
