To Make Good Buckwheat Cakes.?
Take sour milk or buttermilk?the last
named is be9t?and to one pint of milk
take a teaspoonful of soda; salt to
taste ; stir in enough buckwheat floui
to make a batter; bake al once. This
recipe will hardly fail to give satisfaction
if fairly tried.
Apple Cake.?Two cups of stewed
apples boiled in two cups of molasses.
Drain off the molasses (for the cake;
from the apples, add two eggs, two teaspoonfuls
of soda, four cups of flour,
one cup of butter, one cup of soui
milk; spice to suit. Then add the
apple (which was drained as above).
lne apples snoulu be soared tne mgni
before stewing for the cake.
Gbits Puddixo wrrn Apples.?Take
ten apples, pared and quartered, covei
the bottom of your pudding dish, sprinkle
a little sugar and grate a little nutmeg
over them ; cover this with well
boiled grits, seasoned with butter (af
for breakfast), then another layer oi
apples, and so on until the dish is full,
Bake until the apples are well done,
and eat with sweet cream. Good eithei
cold or hot.
Molasses Ci*red Ham. ? Moister
every part of the ham with molasses,
and then for every hundred pounds us*
one quart of fine salt and four ouncel
of saltpetre, rubbing them in verj
thoroughly in every point. Then put
the hams thus prepared in a cask foi
four days. Then rub again with mo.
lasses and one quart of salt, and return
the hams to the casks for four days.
Repeat this the third and fourth time,
and then smoke the hams. This process
takes omly sixteen days, while
other methods require five or six weeks.
Worm-eaten Pca?.
Professor Maurice Perkins, Union
University, Schenecdaty, furnishes the
following for the Country (j'entleinan :
Very often in the spring I have
noticed that the peas, beans, ?fcc., foi
sale in the stores for seed were wormeaten.
In many cases the seeds were
bo eaten as to be useless for seed. The
worm and even the egg may be easily
destroyed by the bisulphide of carbon,
a colorless, volatile liquid, having an
ordor like that of rotten eggs. If the
barrel containing the soeds is not quite
full, moisten a pieco of cloth with the
liquid, lay it on the seeds and cover the
barrel with an old horse blanket. The
vapor of the bisulphide will sink down
among the seeds and destroy all animallife.
The seeds themselves will not be
injured. Two or three ounces will be
enough for a half dozen barrels. This
liquid is used in Europe to destroy the
weevil in wheat. I have not seen the
above mentioned in any agricultural
paper, and thought that it might prove
* useful to some of your readers.
AVoo<leii Snow Sliovel.
Every farmer who lives in the North
is compelled to do a good deal of snow
shoveling every winter, and if it is done
before the snow becomes compact and
solid, he may work with greater ease
and rapidity by using a light, broad
snow shovel made of wood. The blade
should be of thin wood, about threefourths
of an inch thick, thirteen inches
wide and sixteen inches long, the edge
dressed down and covered with sheet
iron three or four inches back. The
end piece should be an inch and a half
wide, screwed on the blade, so as to
form a stiffener or cleat to prevent
1 ?? j e 4i.:
warping aim splitting, uuu lur mis reuson
it should never be nailed on the
end of the blade. The handlo, which
is about four feet and a half long, is
screwed 011 so as to be about 20 inches
from the floor when the blade lies flat.
This shovel may bo used for chaff,
grain, &c., as well as for snow.?Country

How to .Hake a Clktern.
I see some of your readers wish to
know how to construct a cistern. The
best way is to dig your pit the size you
wish and to wall it with brick ; build a
partition wall across it, leaving twothirds
on one side. Leave a number of
holes through the bottom of the partition
wall about four inches square ; then
plaster well with not less than two coats.
Fill up to the smallest side of the partition
wall with charcoal ; then till up
the other side about three feet with
coarse sand. Let the water in on the
charcoal, letting it pass under the partition
wall up through the sand. It
will be as pure as a freestone spring.
It will ha7e 110 taste of rain water.?Exchange.
To Clean Smoky Paper Ilniiglii?i.
Take a niece of wood of the shape of
a scrubbing brush, uail a handle on
the back, then upon tho face nail a
piece of dried sheepskin with wool
upon it; or flax or tow will do; or cotton
flannel of several thicknesses will
answer very well. Dip this brush into
dry whiting, and rub the smoke lightly
with the brush on the upper parts of
the room first?protecting the carpet
with matting or newspaper, as the
whiting dust is hard to sweep oil' a carpet.
The whiting that remains on the
wall is easily brushed ofi' with a soft
cloth attuched to a stick. It is very
effectual if the room is not damp and
the whiting is dry.
Paris Street Scene*.
"The street scenes in Paris," writes a
correspondent, " are very amusing to a
foreigner. Men and women, harnessed
by leather straps into capacious handcarts,
transport heavy loads with apparent
ease. Jackasses, with ears of
fabulous length, are driven in small
herds from door to door, where they
are milked and the product served to
invalid customers. The prevalence of
wooden shoes worn by the humble
classes creates a perfect din aDd clatter
upon the sidewalks and roadways, while
these pedal attachments bear a goodly
proportion in size and form to a Swampscott
fishing skift'. The uncovered
heads of men, women, and children of
the working-classes, except, perhaps, a
linen cap npoii the more pretentions
middle-aged women, is a marked feature.
The wonderful harnesses upon the common
horses, heavy beyond all reason,
with collars partly of wood, and of such
enormous size as to overshadow the
animal itself, and remarkable to one
who has an eye for the eternal fitness
of things. The marvellous burdens
borne by men and women upon their
heads are also a constant source of astonishment.
There is the array of
chiffonier* who perambulate the street
gutters in the morning, picking up and
utilizing unconsidered trifles, and who
again make their appearance, armed
with lanterns, at night to ply their
bumble calling. Add also the amusing
cries of itinevant tradesmen, preparing
to serve you in various domestic matters,
and all form* a panarama of curious
and busy life, exteremely pictnresqne."

Bound to be In Tinted
The early morniDg train from Danbnry
leaves at half-past sit. This is a
very seasonable hour in the summer,
when people are stirring, birds caroling
, their melodies, and the incense from
the newly-awakened flowers filling the
1 air and inspiring the senses. But in
the winter time, with animal and vegetable
life dead, the air raw and cliillv,
I 1
the matches mislaid, and a gloomy
, darkness wrapping the face of the
earth, as if with a pall, half-past six a.
, m. is a very unreasonable and disagree:
able hour, and the man who has occas
siou to leave homo on that train may
, easily be pardoned the uneasiness nnt
avoidable the day before. Our legal
friend, Prince, received information on
Friday which made it necessary that he
should be in New York before Saturday
noon. He contemplated the early
start with some misgiving, and detertv>

' it by getting to bed early. Some peo1
pie 'would not have thought of this, and
remained up until their usual hour,
' and either over-slept themselves, or
^ have awakened unrefreshed and der
pressed. Mr. Prince went to bed at
nine o'clock, and got to sleep about
i half-past eleven. When he awoke it
, was at the earnest solicitation of Mrs.
> Prince's toes, which were digging vigf
orously into his back, while Mrs.
r Prince's hands and Mrs. Prince's voice
k were otherwise engaged in his inter
ests. Mr. Prince jumped up at once,
and inquired the time, which Mrs.
t Prince was not able to inform him exactly,
but was quite confident, by the
, general feeling and looks, that it was
hard bn to car time. Mr. Prince
! snatched up his clothes at this, and flew
into the sitting-room, and straightway
got into his clothes, and then, examining
his watch, found that it was ten
1 minutes past twelve.
1 " Bv crackey !" said Mr. Prince, and
immediately returned to bed, and, en!
casing his head beneath the clothes,
preserved a moody silence in answer to
Mrs. Prince's inquiries. It finally
1 dawned on that excellent lady that the
1 hour was too early, and she soon went
to sleep. But there was no immediate
sleep for lier husband. He felt gloomy
and dissatisfied, and seemed weighed
down with the impression that he was
to miss the train in spite of ull he could
do to avert the calamity. He carefully
reviewed his past life, arraigning himself
as a student, a lawyer, a citizen,
and a husband, to Bee if thero was anything
in his record?an act, a word, or
a thought, which, by the finest ingenuity,
could be distorted into a
crime for which this losing the train
might be considered a fitting judgment.
But in vain he went over the
past for such a provocation, and finally
1 assigning the cause to a dispensation of

asleep.
"When be awoke again he found Mrs.
Prince's toes at bis back, and Mrs.
, Prince's hands on bis shoulders, and
Mrs. Prince's voice in his ear, and a
vivid impression on his mind that the
train had gone, or that the whistle
would sound before he could get out of
bed. But he arose and hurried into
the sitting-room with a show of interest,
and, drawing on his clothes, again consulted
his watch with an air of desperation,
and ascertained that it was
just two o'clock. He didn't say " By
crackey !" this time. But it is no
matter what he said. He skipped back
to the bedroom without any loss of
time, and appeared before Mrs. Prince
with a lamp in one hand, a lot of clothes
in the other, and with a good deal of
lire in his eye. But he blew out the
light in silence, and then, getting back
into bed, gloomily urged her not to do
that again, or her officiousness might
cost her pain. The next time he aroused
himself. It was four o'clock. This
was a little earlier than was absolutely
necessary ; but, for fear of missing the
train, he remained up. First carefully
dressing himself, ne kindled the fire in
the kitchen, and thought of the excellent
breakfast he was to carry with
him, while Mrs. Prince lay and slept.
At half-past seven she awoke of her
own accord, and, finding the broad
daylight streaming into the window,
jumped up with siucere regret thai
Prince had gone without a warm breakfast,
and pictured to herself, during
the toilet, the aching void he would
carry with him through the streets of
the metropolis. Then she thought of
his vexation, and the tears came into
her eyes. And then she went into the
kitchen, and was struck motionless at
the sight before her. For there was
; Prince withacarpet-bagtiglitlyclutched
! in one hand, and a roll of legul docu
menis in rue ouier, sming uou upngni
in a chair?fust asleep. Astonished and
confused by this spectacle, and hardly
knowing what she was doing, Mrs.
Prince got the woman in the other part
of the house to urouse Mr. Prince,

Elijah Barrett, of Gratiot county, nr|
rived here from the northern part of
I the Lower Peninsula. Mr. Barrett, in
: company with Joshua Burt and Charles
Burton, of Wenona, went North some
, two weeks ago for the purpose of
locating a homestead. On December

far from Cheboygan, they lost their
compass. They had consumed the last
i of their provisions the Friday previous,
J w ith the exception of a partridge, which
i they had for breakfast Sunday. They j
saw no other game and did uo'^ have a
mouthful of food, excepting basswood
i j sprouts, till Friday night, on the 12th,
when they came out at Burt's home- J
stead on the Stunreon river, above;
Otsego lake. They were nearly famished,
and the last day were so exhausted,
from fatigue and hunger, that
11 they were only nble to travel about ten
feet at a time. From Tuesday till Fiidav
the sun was not visible a moment.
They report tho snow four feet deep in

Remarkable Uiicape from a Terrible
Death;
In the northern part of the city of St.
Joseph, Mo., says a local paper, lives a
carpenter, with his family, who nre natives
of France, and have been in this
country about eight years. One of their
children is a little girl named Mary,
and the subject of this singular story.
The child was born in Paris, and was 11
Sears old on the 26th day of June last.
he speaks French, German, and English
fluently, and in conversation exhibits
an uncommon intensity of mental
action and vividness of mental vision.
She is -fair complexioned and very
beautiful, with lustrous eyes, sunny
hair, and a look of spiritual maturity in
her countenance. She has sometimes
said that she could see the forms of
persons who have died, and as her sincerity
could not be doubted, this occasioned
some alarm in the minds of her
parents.
The health of the child has not been
good for several months, and on Saturday
morning, three weeks ago, she
startled her mother by saying she could
see her dead sister Louise, who came
near her in an angel form and spoke to
her, telling her that she would make
her s* well that she would never be
6ick any more. Her mother tried to
dismiss the subject from her mind, but
she could not stop talking, and continued,
describing her sister, saying
that she was standing near dressed in
pure white, her face bright and shining,
her hair illumined with silver licht. and
golden dew-drops dripping from her
wings. She could also Bee her dead
brother, who came close to her sister's
side. While talking her strength gave
way, and she sank away as in death.
The worst forebodings of the parents
had been realized, and they prepared
the body for burial. No physician had
been called in, as they supposed that
death had already fallen upon their
child. It was about 10 o'clock in the
morning when the apparent death occurred.
The body was kept till Sunday
afternoon about 4 o'clock, nearly
thirty-six hours, during which .time no
sign of returning life had been noticed.
The final look at the remains was taken,
the coffin was sealed up and placed in
the hearse, and the little cortege started
for the grave, the parents following the
hearse in a carriage.
After proceeding some distance, and
coming down Third street, the quick
ear of the saddened mother caught the
echo of a familiar cry, and she gave expression
to her suspicion that it came
from the coffin of her child. Her suspicion
was overruled, but in a few moments
a second cry was heard, and, in
compliance with the wishes of the mother,
the hearse was stopped and the
coffin drawn out. The struggles of what
was supposed to be the lifeless body
could now be plainly heard. The coffin
was quickly opened, and the child
found to be alive, to the amazement
and unspeakable delight of the parents.
In her struggles she had nearly torn
from herself her death robes.
She was quickly taken from the coffin
and carried into the house of a French
lady at hand, where they bathed her in
vinegar. She recovered her strength
rapidly, and in a short time wes taken
to the homo she had left only a few
hours before an apparent corpse. Since
that time she has been as well as for the
locfr fotr mnntlifl TTor nnrpnta mnlrn
every effort to keep her mind from reverting
to the "terrible episode in her
young life, fearing that there is a fearful
fascination in it to her.
She says that while others thought
her dcud, she could feel their touch
and hear distinctly all that: was said,
but could not move a single muscle or
make the slightest sign. She knew
when they dressed her for the coffin,
when she was laid in it, and heard the
terrible lid fastened down, but could
not make a motion, and was utterly
powerless [until the hearse had gone
some distance, when the physical forces
were probably set in motion again by
the motion of the vehicle.
She describes with singular enthusiasm
and power, for one so young, the
beatific sights that) she saw while entranced,
many different beings appearing
to her in wonderful beauty.
A Case of Mistaken Identity,
We have recently had a most remarkable
case of identity, says the London
correspondent of the Chicago Journal.
Not long ago an old man died suddenly
in the streets. Some one recognized
him as being employed at the gasworks
in the neighborhood, and some
eight or ten of his follow-workmen
promptly identified him. Two of the
number were deputed to convey the
sad intelligence to his wife, who took
the tidings very coolly, and replied
that her husband was at that moment
up stairs in bed, and he shortly made
his appearance, much to their astonishment.
The body was then removed to
the work-house mortuary, where some
fourteen of the officials identified it as
that of a pauper w}io had been au inmate
of the work-house over a year,
and intelligence of his death was at
once sent to his daughters in Manchester.
One of the sons-in-law came up
to town at once, and recognized liis
father-in-law, and the daughters followed,
both swearing at the inquest
that the body was that of their father.
They gave him a decent burial, paid the
undertaker and returned home, finding
there a letter from their father, written
the day before, informing them he was
staying with some friends in Devonshire,
and in good health. I do not
think there is on record another case so
remarkable. The funny part of it is
that the sons-in-law are now trying to
get their money back from the undertaker,
who, however, declines to refund.
Carbo'lc Acid Not a Disinfectant.
The Southern cities that have suffered
from yellow fever, or been threatened
with it, tliis fall, have, of course, resorted
to a profuse use of disinfectants.
Principal among those used has been
carbolic acid, which, according to
popular consent, is the most effective
of all the remedies against infectiou.
I'rof. Cochran, of the Alabama Medical
College, condemns it as being conducive
to the spread of disease rather
than its suppression, and says, after
TViitpJiinrr tlio effeets of its use in the
hospitals of Mobile and New Orleans :
Not only do the facts and examples adduced
in proof fail to establish the
efficacy of carbolic acid as a prophylactic
against yellow fever, but without
any violence, and without any sophistical
interpretation, they go very far
toward the establisnment of the suspicion
that its influence has been the
very reverse of prophylactic ; that if it
has not contributed to the exteusion of
the disease, it has at least added to its
malignity and increased the mortality
to a fearful ratio. The experiment has
been made, and it Uas failed,

Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar
Bitters are a pure'.v Vegetable
preparation, made chieti/ from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges ot
the Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use
of AlcohoL The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters!"
Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient recovers
his health. They are the great
on/1 o lifo-irioittcr nrinoinlft.
uiuuu ^/uiuioi ouu ? mv~gi>uw
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded fbssessing the remarkable
qualities ot V isboar Bitters in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilioas
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
Vinkqak Bittkks uro Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious. Laxative, Diuretio,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera*
tive. and Anti-Bilious.
Cfateftil Thousands proclaim Vnr*
kgar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant
that ever sustained th? sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed
by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent and Intermittent
Fevers, Which are so prevalent
in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri*
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas,
Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke,
James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout ou?
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons
of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive derangements
of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful
influence upon theso various organs,
is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purposo equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as thoy will speedily remove the darkcolored
viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at tbo same time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Frrtify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
' Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
n.iMuA
ID the MOUIU, JJU10U3 iiiiiicua, ruipuatation
of tbo Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symptoms,
are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
incnt.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial AlTections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of tho Skin, Sore Eyes, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases,
Walker's Yinsqar Bitters have
shown their great curative powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases
are caused by Vit'ated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.?Persons engaged
in Paints and Minerals, such as
! Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, us they udvanco in life, are subject
to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard
| against this, take a dose of Walker's VlNi
j;uar Bitters occasionally.
For Ski 11 Diseases, Eruptions, Tet- 4T ^
tcr, Salt-lthcum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discoloratious of the Skin, Ilumors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of tho system iu a short time by tho use
of these Bitters.
Tin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics
will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
? or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn 01 me, musu iumu
| Bitters display so decided an iailucnco that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Jllood whenever
you liiul its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you lind it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell vou when. Keep
the blood pure, and the bcaith of the system
will follow.
