On* ol tho First Attractions Americas > Old In 1870 there were very few houses “across the bianoh,” as they used to call Brooklyn Heights—only thirteen all told—but since that time the population has steadily Increased until there is no portion of the town that can boast of finer or more convenient homes than those who live there now. The first house built In this portion of the city was the Stanford place,] which was settled by Mr. Hubbard. The next built was the house that Col. J. L. Ad- derton now lives In, wbloh was erected by his father-in-law, Judge Guerry. Next was the Gibson house, known as the Patterson place; then CoL Daven port’s residence lot was oleared up and settled by John T. McCrary, from whom Col. Davenport purchased it and built the residence he now occupies. Ur, Robert Hodge then started the Dr. Black bouse, from whom the Doctor purchased it in 1857, and completed the building, which waa then the finest residence in this portion of the state. : The Doctor, being well blessed with this world’s goods, wanted something to occupy his time, and observing such a city. Thousands of .gallons of corn and rye liquor have been made there, be sides thousands of gallons of peach and apple brandy, blackberry brandy,' and sorghum whisky by the wholesale. During the war, Dr. Blook wanted to send something to the soldiers In the army, and after paeklng np several large boxes of provisions, etc,, the ides oc curred to him to send a few gallons of this sorghum whiskey. He shipped about twenty gallons to the members of CUtt’s batalllon. The boys received it with many thanks, and had a good time for two weeks, and up till to-day some of the boys call the Doetor their life pre server, as they claim his sorghum whisky saved their lives at a most criti cal moment. Another great character “over the creek” waa old man Blley Covisgton, the fiddler, the barber, the race rider and but the preacher, Dr. Black gave old man Riley a home for life time and embodied in the deed these words, “So loqgashe, Riley, behaves himself and keeps the plaoe of a negro, he shall live on the aforesaid property until his death.” He kept bis place and lived a peaceable life, and when he died there were more whits people In attendance upon his funeral than there were ne groes.

For thirty years this was a pnblio resort, and every Sun day afterpoon yon would see the people from town crowding aroxnd the place, watching the hundreds of fish following the visiton around the edge of the pond eagerly waiting Co be fed. Later the Doctor built four more ponds, apJ tenderly watched over them until he was compelled to break them by the city council two years ago. Near this fish pond was located a still, owned and operated by Mr. John B. Worrell who was well-known in this mon in these days when women may have good health, cheerful dispositions, strong nerves and clear minds, simply through the use of Dr. Pieree'e Favorite Prescription. Before the reputation and use of this remedy beoame world-wide, irritable, cross, nervous, debilitated women, suffering with displacements, hysteria, and every female disease, were the rule# rather than the exception. The “Favorite Prescription” has proven to be the key to a long and happy life— the key which effectually locks out that old array of uterine disorders, periodical pains, weak back, prolapsus, Inflamma tion, nloerstion, nervous exhaustion and general debility.

A Tiuks-Rzcobder reporter inter viewed Mr. Samuel MeGarrah on the possible cotton receipts of Ameriens, the quality of the staple, the eauso of the present depressed prices, and other subjects pertaining to this most impor tant of Subjects. In the ooune of bis remarks Mr. MeGarrah said “I think a conservative estimate of thepoeslble receipts wonld be 45,000, and this will allow ample latitude. The texture of the staple is unusually fine and the season has been very propitious for the gathering and marketing the crop. I do not believe that over fifteen per cent, of the entire crop remains en- gathered. The reason of the shrinkage in prieee is that the port reoelpts have been exceptionally large, over-stocking the markets and maxing the supply ex- coed the demand. The farmers were prevailed on but year to bold book their ootton which they, in a good measure did, and which was crowded in the mar ket at the first of this eeaeon. InAmeri- cus the general tone of the ootton mar ket hat been about as steady a* else where and the fluctuations have not amounted to anything. Cotton in my opinion will climb higher in January, which faot involves the qnestion as to the advisability pf holding back the cot ton that long.” The cotton receipts in the last few days are gradually tapering off and they will before long dwindle down to sub stantially nothing, owing to the fact 'rexhaosl that the crop is nearly i sted. The head clerk of Smith A McNeil’s Hotel, New York, Mr. S. Waddell, makes the following statement—“One bottle of Dr. Boll’s Cough Syrup thoroughly cur ed me of a severe, long-standing cough and cold. I take pleasure in recom mending it to all so afflicted.” Some people cannot say what they think. They haven’t got sense enough. Science in Bread Kokinr. At the recent annual meeting of the Amerloan Chemical Society, held in Washington, D. O., the question of the value of carbonate of ammonia as a leav ening agent in bread, or as need in bak ing powders, came np for discussion, in whioh Prof. Barker, of the Univeralty of Pennsylvania, and President of the Soci ety; Dr. Rlohardson, late of the United States Department of Agrioultare In Washington; Dr. William McMarrle, lata Professor of Chemistry in the Universi ty of Illinois; Dr. E. H. Bartley, late Chemist of the Brooklyn, N. Y., Board of Health, and Professor of Chemistry of the Long Island College, and others, took part. The consensus of opinion was over whelming In favor of the employment of ammonia. It was stated aa a faot that ammonia rendered the gluten of the floor more soluble than the original gluten, and that the broad in whioh this aotlon was produoed by carbonate of ammonia most be more digestible and henee more healthful, and because of the extreme volatility of carbonate of ammonia and its complete expulsion from the bread in the prooeie of bakipg, it is one of the moot useful, moot healthful and most valuable leavening agents known. These conclusions are borne out by the very elaborate and exhaustive expe riments mode by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of the Univeralty of Virginia, whioh show conclusively that bread made with a baking powder in whioh one per cent, of carbonate of ammonia is used, in con nection with cream of tartar and soda, ie not only of uniformly better ooler and texture, but a product more wholesome, because the ammonia servee to neutra lize any organlo or lectio acids present in the flour.
