The cheapest dining -room in the eity" is the claim placarded on a house in Grand street, close to Clintonestreet, New York. The restaurant is a plain lainne &moderate size, furnished with eominon tables and a large sideboard. We put clothes on the tables wheii we opened, a week ago," said. the elderly lassislan who aided -by her son, conducts 'Vie establainent, ‘ but there is such a -rush of boys, who were neither manner- ly nor neat, that We had. to take them off. We are fitting up another room Around the corner especially for the boys, and when that is open we shall reserve this place for adults." Printed, bills -of -fare were scattered about giving the followiug prices: A small cup of tea or coffee, with sugar and milk, one cent; a cup of the ordin- ary size, two cents; bread and butter, one cent; soup, oee cent; a slice of corned beef, one ceut ; a baked or bell- ed potato, one cent; cabbage,one cent; baked beans, one tent; bailed or fried mush, one cent; oatmeal, one cent; boiled rice, one ceat ; quarter of a pie, three cents. The - quality:of all these things is excellent, but theme colt por- tion is small, yet a fair appetite could be appeased for five cents, and a raven- ous one for ten. Everything is clean and the cooking is good. • "Who supports this charity?" was asked of the woman one day. a Charity I" she exclaimed; why, , sir, this ian't a charitable institution; it is a business enterprise, and I guess it is going to pay. ' The margin for pro- fit is small, as you may imagine, but it will be enough to live on if the crowds cerne aa they have been coining. We have to buy close, and waste nothing, but by careful management there is a profit on every cent's worth we sell." Three newsboys entered noisily, seat- ed themselves at a table, as a party of demonstrative but unaccustomed fellows might in Delmonieo's, and perused the bill -of -fare. One ordered corned beef, beans, a cup of coffee, and a cruller, at a cost of four cents. One had a large cup d coffee and a quarter of a pie at tbe same cost. The third more reck- lessly ordered a cup of coffee, bread and butter, beaus, corned beef, a cruller, fried hominy, a potato, and a dough- nut, a an expenditure of eight cents; but he became gorged before the food was all eaten, anderia spite of hard gulp- ing, half of the doughnut and a third of the potato WtiS left. "Boys are our principal customers," said the woman, "and we have a rush of them about five or six o'clock; but at breakfast and lunch times we have a good many. workingmen and women. Why, sir, at the rate we are starting out, I don't know but we'll occupy a, wiled° building in a few months.--ffew York Sun. A Cranberry Bog. Thanksgiving turkey without cran- berries is what life is without matri- DIM-, or matrimony without quarrels. The small red sph,eres of the fruit, crashed, sweetened, and, transmuted. into a delicious crystalline jelly, bring out all that is good in the bird's flavor, and supplement it, so agreeably that no reasonable housekeeper ever thinks of serving it without -that sauce, which, f m its ruddiness ot dolor, seems to have caught the very eXhilaratiou of autumn, and in its taste combines the sweets and sours to perfection. Much that is idyllic might be Nviitten iu praise of the cranberry; but though its private habits are intereating, they .are not 'wholly- commendable. It ex- acts more attention than so hardy a fruit should reqinre in its cultere, and it has neveral idiosyncrasies, not the least carious of which is its seleetion of • ground to grow M. (The ordinary field with a good depth of loam, such as con- tents nearly all other berries, is not enough. The cranberry has a prefer- ence for the cedar swamp, and will thrive nowhere else. All along the At- lantic coast, from Long Island. to Flori- da, there are eed.ar swamps; and the only living things that find beauty in them are cranberries, and artists with acutely ideveloped sensibility to the pie- turesque, The cedar is never a very cheerful -looking tree. Its crisp, mossy, , dusky green foliage, that never expands - and always looks compactly incipient, is pathetic, and its dull red bark glows feebly under the weighty darkness of the branches. In th swamps it grows IF densely, and makes -impetual twilight of the seasons; a id in the moist, spongy, uncertaiu ground. beneath,. the wild crauberry , develops in •a clois- tral privacy more becoming a sentimen- tal violet than so highly colored an es- ' eulent as it is. Domestication and improvement by cultivation have not - altered its tem- perament, and the farmer has never been able to adapt it to any other soil. It is only the soil that it insists on, how- ever; and, refined by domestication, it parts eententedly with . its old protec- tor the cedar,. and thrives in level places, sunshine- .aua1 unsheltered, if it is planted in the former bed of that tree. The cranberry -grower always clears the swamp, removing every vestige of the tangled wood down to the stumps, ditches it, and. spreads a depth of from. four to twelve inches Or hand- over it, which ia removed, from time to time. and under such, chi:mgt.-a conditions the lbw-erouching vine (.I: the fruit .yields abundance, and prospers its it never prospere&l in the secluded home of its wildnese under the dark boughs of the cedar. ' bog,. as the awamp is now called, yields about 200 bushels an acres 'more or less, and we visitedone in New Jersey last Augnst, no acres of which • were expected to produce over 300 bushels an acre. It includes about 110 acres, which scarcely ever yield less than 1,500 bushels a year. The ber- ries were then ripening tee the sep_ teniber picking, alai trailed ithyng the smooth 1116;ht gr;q111,1. h: (*toalitich:i thou- salidg- The Vine i:-. lk-IL-1.::Iti, Zt it.:; 'weight of fr;.it Ileitis ;t tt; t:Lt; silriare, and one surfaoes. The piekers have been mus- tered from all the neighboring farms and villages, and work in regimental rows, beginning at one end of a square, and backing down to the other, and put- ting the berries as they are gathered into small wicker baskets that hold half bushels. Most of them are young wo- men in neat cotton dresses aneisolu- iniuous Wu -bonnets ; but, beside') tibeso, there are old and young fishermen with bronzed faces and salty clothing, -who have taken a week from their 1, sual occupations to share in the cranberry harvest, which almost amounts to a fes- tival, and. which, naoreover, is very pro- fitable to the laborers, paying them 40 cents for every bushel gatb.ered. ,Here is a group more diversified tha4 the others. At one end of theline is an old sailor, with a face as brown:as a hest - nut, and a blue guernsey over his stout body ;, next to him is a pretty littl girl, not more than six or seven years old ; next to her, somebody's city cou in, in a quite fashionable costume, and a most ornately carved meerschauxn igar- holder in his mouth; next to him, a de- crepit old. dame and her husband.; and } beyond all these are a score of rosy country girls, charmingly dress d in cool summer fabrics and the a chest of straw hats. It scarcely seems Ito be a labor at all, there is so much chatter tlaid laughter. , The picking usually takes about five weeks, and '-i4 the end of that time cranberries are a familiar thing in the city stores. i a A Cheap Ice House. BY ALEXANDER HYDE. "My wife says we must have an *- house. I tell her that farm.ers can't in- dulge in such luxuries as ice -team, iced tea, iced strawberries, and such like, but these women, when they get a notion in their heads, are terribl per- sistent She keeps talking ice t4 me, and says you once spoke of ice as the cheapest of luxuries. I replied that ice was cheap enough, but an ice house was expensive. She was silent for a -while, and I thought I had shut her up, but a woman's mouth is not so easily ahut. After a few min- utes of sober thinking she broke out with, 'Weil, John, how much are you. willing to pay for an ice -house?' Now it was my turn to be silent, but she pressed her qnestion, and there was no dodging it, and I told her if one could be built for $20 I thought I could afford it. ' Nov I haa-e got you,' she said, ex- ultingly, 'and I will leave it to Mr. li. if an ice house can't be built for less than $20.' Here, Sir, you have a,state- ment of my case, and. if you can tell me how to build an ice -house for . $20, my wife shall have one." I An ice house fur a farmer's family, consisting of 8 or 10, should be 12 feet square, with posts 10 feet high, and. is best built on the surface of the baround. The siding may, be of rough hepalock boards or matched spruce or pine, just as money and taste dictate. In like manner the roof may be shingled or boarded. It is not necessary that the house be double boarded on the sides, though it is desirable, for when lined and the space between the lining and siding is filled with sawdust the ice can be packed close to the lining, which is much more convenient for the packer than to leave a space of six or eight inches between the ice and sides of the building.' A house of the dimensions above in- dicated cam be built for from $10 to $30, according to the quality of the lumber and the style of the work; and will con- tain 1,000 cubic feet of ice, or about 30 tons, as a cubic foot of ice weighs about 60 pounds. As the hauling, is generally done on snow, when a good farm' team will draw at least three tons at a load, 10 loads will suffice to fill it. This will require one, two, or three days haul- ing, according to the thstance to be tra- versed, surely no 'great amount of labor or expense for so much comfort as ice affords. - A Remaxkable Presentiment about the Huron. 1877-8.

In March last, while the ill-fated Ue.- ited States steamer Huron was lying in the harbor of -Pert Royal, S. C., Lieut. Arthur H. Fletcher, her executive offi- cer left the vessel on a 24 hours' leave of absence, and failing to return at the ex- piration of that time, the ship sailed for another port without him. A few days after Mr. Fletcher returned to Port Roy- al, reported to Commodore J. H. B. Glitz, senior naval officer present, and stated to him that for some time past he had. a presentiment that if he went to sea in the Huron for the purpose of finishing the cruise (two years) he would be wrecked. , This feeling took. complete possessima of his minds and he used every iueans to get detached , but the Navy Department refused to order it without a better reason. When he found that all his efforts had failed he left the Hu- ron in the manner stated with the in- tention net to return. For this he Was placed under arrest and tried by court martial, at Washington Navy Yard, in Aaighst last. In defence he made a statement in substance as above, and. called. Comthodore Glitz, • Commander Geta 17) Ryan, of the Huron, and. other officers to prove that before leaving the ship he had tokl them of the dread—in fact horror—he had of finishing the Liaise in the vessel. This is a Matter of record on file in the Navy Depiktmeut, and., though such a line of defence was laughed at when made, the fate of the Huron will cause many superstitious people to think that Mr. Fletcher's pre- monition was fully proven to be a true one bv the Wreck off Kitty Hawk, North ('arolina. 1 • • Comfort for the A public dinner taking place in one of the small towns of Fife on the occasion of a great political struggle or trial—it is of no conseqiumee which- many of thOse who partook of thefeast got rath- er more than exhilarated, so that it. was found . necessairy that they should. be helped or carried. home. .

TO THE PUBLIC. --Read what the people say "I- in regard to the Great Shoshonees Remedy and Pills. Levi Jones, Markham, says: "1 had a very severe attack of bronchitis. I was so bad that I could hardly get my breath. I sought for a quick remedy, and seeing)the " Shoshonees m Reedy " so highly reconame1 ded, 1 procured a bottle, and am happy to say that by the time it was taken I was entirely well, and have remained so, although I was much exposed through the winter in travelling." Rev. F. 13. Stratton, Dern. orestville, writes: " I have found your re- medies particularly beneficial for liver complaint, dyspepsia and bronchial affections, and would adviae all similarly affected to give them a trial." John Finlayson, Athol, says : When travelling one of my feet got sore and broke out. I could not cure it, and had to return home. It became better and afterwards inuch worse. I finally pur- chased a bot'le of the Remedy and a box of Pills, and before they were half gone I commenced to •improve, and before they were finished my foot was completely oared. It is now 17 months since, but have had no further attack." Price of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1. Pills, 25 cents a box. 1 522. SEWING MACHINES.

PATTISON, WALTON.- 1 DECEMBER 21,J8 Death of 2. Distinguished -VVma - The death of Mrs. Bronson Alen" mother of Miss lOuisajcthe tlaor of so many delightful books, t. place in Concord, New Hampshire, few days ago. This event had lo been anticipated, for Mrs. Alcott passed the age of 77 years, and had 8 fered-for many naonths from a mai. sure to be fatal at last She enatti the suffering and fatigue of her illn with cheerful and even humorous fort tude, and died, as she ha.c1 lived, full( good will and affection for the work i which She bad so long borne her, part -with diligence and a good conscience and -with the warmest lovetoward thosi in whose happiness she had so great share. She was the daughter of Col Joseph May, of Boston, and the sistel -of the beloved clergyman, Samuel J, May, of Syracuse, N. Y. She was born in Boston, October 8, 1800, married Mr. A. Bronson Alcott in Ma,y, 1830; re- moved to Concord with her family in 1840, and has lived in that to almost ever since, though with intervals of .absence between 1848 and 1857. She died, not in her own picturesque old house on the Lexington road, close by Hawthorne's 4-4 Wayside," but in the Thoreau house, which her daughter, Mrs. Pratt, had occupied for some months. She was buried. at Concord, .and the funeral was private. Mrs. Al- oott was a woman of the best New Eng- land stock, and of reniarimble sweet-, ness and energy of character. Hercele- brated daughter, who mach resembles her, has more than once drawn her mother's picture in her books. She was long connected. with unpopuliz causes, and cherished the persecuted ;opinions of the abolitionists, the transcendental- ists, the friends of woman suffrage, and of many other social reforms. But she! was never wanting in her donsestic du- 11 ties, often severe and depressing. She I endured. poverty with spirit and -' patience, she shared the hearts of those -dependent upon her, when her own -was often sorely tried.; and she supported her husband in the years when doubt and. ridicule followed her advanced opinions, and. the gentle philosophy which he Was sent into the world to teach. She has for a long time enjoyed the prosperity which she early deserved, but which only came to her after many vicissitudes and disappointments. But it came then in its most acceptable form, through her own children, whose success had been secured by the re- sources of her spirit, and the devotion of her motherly heart. She enjoyed the triumphs of her daughteaa and the renown of her husband with more satis- faction, than if they had been her own personal success; and she lived to see the bright side of the shield which had so long been darkened. with adversity. 'Although she has survived most of her -contemporaries, she leaves many friends of the youngergenerations to mourn her loss; for she was indeed a true and sympathizing friend to those, of all ages, who were fortunate enough to know her. Her surviving children are three daughters,—Mrs Pratt, the moth- - er of the "Little Men," Miss Louisa Alcott, and Miss May Alcott, who is now plirsuing her art in England.

His congregation dismissed him; his wife died of a broken heart; he squandered his fortune, lost his friends, and, at last, became a reporter for a low New York paper, through means of which be picked up a Scanty living.
