simple manner, by putting the currants wliole into 

 the kettle, with the sugar ; allowing a pound of 

 sugar to a pound of currants. Boil them togeth- 

 er fifteen minutes, skimming carefully. Then 

 pour them into a sieve, with a pan under it. Let 

 them drain through the sieve into the pan, press- 

 ing them down with the back of a spoon. 



Take the jelly, while warm, out of the pan, and 

 put it into your glasses. Tie it up with brandy 

 paper when cold. 



PUGSERVED STRAWBERRIES. 



Weigh the strawberries after you have picked 

 off the stems. To each pound of fruit allow a 

 jpound of loaf sugar, which must be powdered. — 

 Strew half of the sugar over the strawberries, and 

 let them stand in a cold place two or three hours. 

 Then init them in a preserving kettle over a slow 

 fire, and by degrees strew on the rest of the sugar. 

 Boil them fifteen or twenty minutes, and skim 

 them well. 



Put tliem in wide mouthed bottles, and when 

 cold, seal the corks. 



If you wish to do them whole, take thtm care- 

 fully out of the syrup, (one at a time) while boil- 

 ing. Spread them to cool on large dishes, not 

 Jetting the strawberries touch each other, and 

 when cool, return them to the syrup, and boil 

 them a little longer. Repeat this several times. 



Keep the bottles in dry sand, in a place that is 

 cool and not damp. 



Gooseberries, currants, raspberries, cherries and 

 grapes may be done in the same manner. The 

 stones must be taken from the cherries (which 

 should be morellas, or the largest and best red 

 chenies) and the seeds should be extracted from 



the grapes with the sharp point of a penknife. 



Gooseberries, grapes, and cherries, require longer 

 boiling than strawberries, raspberries, or cur- 

 rants. 



RASPBERRY JAM. 



Allow a poimd of sugar to a pound of fruit. — 

 Mash the r.-ispberries, and put them with the sugar 

 into your preserving kettle. Boil it slowly for an 

 hour, skimming it well. Tie it up with brandy 

 paper. 



All jams are made in the same manner. 



The Melodium. — Our readers are already aware 

 that Mr Maelzel is now exhibiting at the Diorama 

 in Broadway, his " Melodium." It is somewhat 

 smaller in size than a church organ, and has been 

 pronounced by Europeans, the finest instrument 

 of the kind in the world. Its compass and pow- 

 ers are really astonishing. Some of its notes are 

 so delicate as scarcely to exceed the warblings of 

 small singing birds ; others can be made so loud 

 as to shake the very building in which it stands. 

 Grandeur and solemnity, delicacy and harmony, 

 are the characteristics of the Melodium. — Cour.&f 

 Enq. 



Jlnti Socitftes. — The fashion of forming anti so- 

 cieties has gone so far, that in one place we are 

 told of an " Anti-going-to-sleep-with-a-candle- 

 burning Society," organized for the purpose of 

 stopping the practice of reading in bed by candle 

 liffht. In New York, it is proposed to establish a 

 society, to check the practice of drinking cold 

 water in hot weather. It is to*bear the harmoni- 

 ous title of " Jlnli-drinking-too-much-cold-water-m- 

 a-hot-day Society." — Salem Obs. 



A mercantile establishment at Zanesville, Ohio, 

 has advertised for sale, a quantity of " Temperance 

 Scythes, and Sickles,^' which are warranted to " cut 

 well without the aid of Whiskey." These are 

 very valuable articles, and we take pleasure in in- 

 forming the public that they can be had at most 

 of the stores in our sober and industrious town of 

 Wheeling. 



A Reward offered. — A reward of $5 is offered 

 by a gentlemen in Newburgh, through the col- 

 umns of the Newburgh Gazette, to the lady who 

 will wear the smallest hat in church for the next 

 six months. The object is laudable. — Hudson 

 Gazette. 



The New York Police committee are shortly 

 to report a standard measure by which vegetables 

 are hereafter to be sold in the markets of tljat

GanlVs Churns. 

 [Extract of a letter to Mr J. R. Newell, Proprietor of the Ag- 

 ricultural Warehouse, No. 52 North Market street.] 



Sir — in answer to your inquiry respecting the churns, known 

 l^y the name of Gault's Churns, I give it as my opinion that 

 they are the best calculated, the most convenient, and the easi- 

 est to bring butter of any I have ever met with. It is nut 

 thought a hard task to fetch the butter, with one of them, in fif- 

 teen minutes. It cost me six dollars, and was bought at the Ag- 

 ricultural Warehouse, 52 North Market street. 1 should re- 

 fuse thirty dollars for it, if 1 could not obtain another of the same 

 kind. Respectfully yours.
