Taffy.—Either kinds of molasses candy, if poured from the kettle into tin trays without working, will pro duce a fine, plain taffy. It may be left in one sheet, the size of the tray in which it is poured, or, when slight ly cooled, may be mark off in squares. Everton TaWT.— This is a favor ite English contention. To nuke it, take three pounds f best brown su gar, and boil with one-half pint of water. Then add one-half pound ot sweet-flavored fresh b..tter, which will soften the candy. Boil a few minutes unt l it again hardens, amt pour it into trays. Flavor with lem on if desired. Peanut Candy. —Prepare the men's by removing the thin reddish skin in which they are enveloped, ami fill a tiu tray to the depth of about, an inch. Pour over them the hot can dy, made as above directed, stirring the meats that each one may be cov ered. A little less candy should bd used than will suffice to er the mass ot meats, though each j seperatc one should be coated, the object being to use just enough of the candy to cause the meats to adhere firmly to each other, thus forming a i large cake, which when nearly cold may bo divided into squares or bars with a sharp knife, Almonds depriv. ed of their skins, or the meats of any nuts may be u ed in a similar man ner. Walnut Candy.-— The meats ol hiekorynuts, English walnuts, or black walnuts may be used according to preference in that regard. After removal from the shells in as large pieces a * pract’.blo, they are to be placed on the bottoms of tins, pre viously greased to the depth of about a half inch. Next boil two pounds of brown sugar, a half pint of water, and one gill of good molasses until a portion of the mass hardens when cooled. Four th.! hot candy on the meats mid allow it to remain until hard. Of coiifso it. is needless to di rect regarding tho proportion of meats to tho cand.v, it baing a mat ter of faste entirely. Molasses alono may be used to prepare tho candy, but the use ot sugar gwes a more satisfactory result. SDK I OIL r ft On yesterday wo received the parti.Mil irs of the suicid tof a for mer resident of this county, on ac count of the profligate, and licen tious practices of her husband, it is supposed. About eight months ago, Miss Sarah Smith, of Marion county, married a man of Tay! >r coun- name of Sheppard. she discovered that he had a living wife, an ) live 1 in a most infamous manner. On Sunday las" she ro3oive:l to termi nate her troubles by soil-destruc tion. Late Sunday night when all wore asleep, she arose irotn her bol i a id, taking down a ride in the house, shot herself, the ball enter ing just below tho right ear and passing out at about the same post tion below the left ear. Sue had not e\| ired when nur infi r uant heard from there, but she was dying. The inhuman fiend, from whose dishonor an I heathe i ism, she sought relearn by death, is, sup pose, still disgracing the neighbor hood with his presence. It is sure ly a nice (?) neighborhood that will permit such a monster to live in it! yls the lutsband-avas the only oc cupant of the room when the deed was done, it is not unreasonable lo suppose that he fired the rifle him self. A man guilty of the crimes alleged against him would not hes itate to ad i that of murde. The Acts of our Stepreseistativc. Hon. nowell T. Hollis has introdu c'd three bills in the House, s.nec die opening of the session—two o 1 them very important, which meet the approval of an overwhelming majori ty of our good citizen- 1 . The fir t was a bill to abolish the Marion County Court. 2nd. A bill to regulate the sala of whisky in said county. Brd. A bi'i to allow Mary Collins to get married. The latier bill ought not lo have been introduced. It is of no impor tance to ihe State, mil is a question over which it ha*, no control. Mary Collins is not - ivorced from h<-r first husband and cut not get a legal ili v..>rc . It is .untli'.-funa'.: to - Maty, yet her an-ea- -h ml 1 be made to the Superior Coart and not to the State ot Georgia. Yve recommend that the bill do not pass, and that no other unimportant local or private bills be introduced. MhAfe. Hot*"* 1 * *** We are under a iditional obliga tions to Col. John Screven, of tee Atlantic & Gu'f Raiiroad, tor an un~. solicited complimentary pass over the road Tor the present year. In view of the recent selfish action of the Wadley monopoly, we had resolved not to return any passes for renew al, Lot caring to be a burden to the railroad corporations. The action of Col. Screven and the stock holders of h's road, iu continuing to issue passes to editors, afer the Georgia nud Cen tial railroads hare declined to do so, show that they do not consider the i Toss a burden but a needful auxilia ry- ‘A frien 1 in need is a friend indeed.’ Such a friend is Dr. Bulls Cough Sy i up, winch shou’dbe in every family; it only costs 25 cents a bottle and may save many a doctor bill. To the MethodUtsof Buena Vista, Sla rion and Cusseta Circuits. Dear Brethren : In [vrosenting you with first round of Quarterly Meetings, permit mo to say that your presence always glad dens our hearts and strengthens our hands. In seeking to do pood our strongest emphasis is in tin* n and of the Holy Spirit; next to this we place your presence and prayers. The late Conference made some changes in your charges that mtiy surprise many, and not give universal satisfaction. We thought we were acting aihis eJ.l\ ii is characteristic of mu' sys tem to “prove all things, hold last that which is good,’’ and lo modify or eliminate nil that is found to bb a failure. Let us as luiuiaicrs, churches and members improve, and occupy this year of grace, 1877. Our personal and family religion should be prayerfully revised, nnd our ptay er-mceings and Sunday-schools should fill our hands and fiords ami hearts. Tho momentary interest*, I turn over to the Financial Boat 4, merely, yet strongly, recommend that each church resolve to pay one half or two -thirds of its assessment at the first tuid secondly Quarterly Meetings. This can be done. It will prevent any embarrassment. It is beautiful —scrip: ural—safe. Suppose wo toy it. What say the stewards ? Le l us heir from the churches. Yours Very Truly, J. B. McGehee, P.
