VALUABLE RECIPES.
WATER PROOF FOR LEATHER .- Take lin- seed oil 1 pint, yellow wax and white tur- pentine each 2 ozs. Burgundy pitch 1 oz., melt and color with lampblack.
To KEEP CIDER SWEET .- Put into each barrel, immediately after making, % 1b. ground mustard, 2 oz. salt and 2 oz. pulver- ized chalk. Stir them in a little cider. pour them into the barrel, and shake up well.
AGUE CURE .- Procure 116 table-spoons of fresh mandrake root juice, (by pounding) and mix with the same quantity of molas- ses, and take in three equal doses, 2 hours a part. the whole to be taken 1 hour before the chill comes on. Take a swallow of some good bitters before meals. for a couple of weeks after the chills are broken, and the cure will be permanent.
CURE FOR SALT RHEUY OR SCURVY .- Take of the pokeweed, any time in sum- mer ; pound it ; press out the juice; strain it into a pewter dish; set it in the sun till it becomes a salve-then put it into an earth- en mug: add to it fresh water and bees' wax sufficient to make an ointment of com- mon consistency : simmer the whole over a fire till thoroughly mixed. When cold, rub the part affected. The patient will al- most immediately experience its good ef- fects, and the most obstinate cases will be cured in three or four months. Tested .-- The juice of the ripe berries may be pre- paired in the same way.
SUPERIOR PAINT-FOR BRICK HOUSES .- To lime whitewash, add for a fastener, sul- phate of zinc. and shade with any color you choose, as yellow ochre, Venetian red, etc. It outlasts oil paint.
FELONS .- Stir 1 oz. of Venice turpentine with > tea-spoonful of water, till it looks like candied honey, and apply by spreading upon cloth and wrapping around the finger. If not too long delayed will cure in 6 hours.
A poke root poultice is also said to be a sure remedy.
WATER-PROOF BLACKING AND HARNESS POLISH .- Take two and a half ounces gum shellac and half a pint of alcohol, and set in & warm place until dissolved; then add two and a half ounces Venice turpentine to neutralize the alcohol ; add a tablespoon- ful of lampblack. Apply with a fine sponge. It will give a good polish over oil or grease.
MosQUITOS .- To get rid of these tormen- tors, take a few hot coals on a shovel, or a chafing dish, and burn upon them some brown sugar in your bed-rooms and parlors, and you effectually banish or destroy every mosquito for the night.
CHEAP OUTSIDE PAINT .- Take two parts (in bulk) of water lime ground fine, one part (in bulk) of white lead ground in oil. Mix them thoroughly, by adding best boiled lin- seed oil, enough to prepare it to pass through a paint mill, after which temper with oil till it can be applied with a common paint brush. Make any color to suit. It will last three times as long as lead paint, and cost not one-fourth as much. IT IS SUPERIOR.
CURE FOR A COUGH .- A strong decoction of the leaves of the pine, sweetened with loaf sugar. Take a wine-glass warm on go- fing to bed, and half an hour before eating three times a day. The above is sold as g cough syrup, and is doing wonderful cures. and it is sold at a great profit to the manu- facturers.
How to Judge & Horse.
A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, undertakes to judge the character of a horse by outward appearances. and offers the fol- lowing suggestions, the result of his close observation and long experience :
If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut. his feet. legs and face white, these are marks of kindness. If he is broad and full between the eyes, he may be depended on as a horse of good sense, and capable of be- ing trained to anything.
As respects such horses, the more kindly you treat them the better you will be treat- ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- scription stand a whip, if well fed.
If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as not to scare: but he will have too much go- ahead in him to be safe with everybody.
If you want a fool, but a horse of great bottom. get a deep bav, with not a white hair about him. Ifhis face is a little dish- -
ed. wo much the worse. Let no man ride such a horse that is not an adept in riding -- they are always tricky and unsafe.
-
If you want one that will never give out, never buy a large, overgrown one.
A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a white one cold.
If you want a gentle horse, get one with more or less white about the head; the more the better. Many persons suppose the parti-colored horses belonging to the circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their oddity. But the selections thus made are on account of their great docility and gen- tleness.
Measurement of Hay in the Mow or Stack .- It is often desirable. where conveniences for weighing are not at hand. to purchase and sell hay by measure- ment. It is evident that no fixed rule will answer in all cases .. as it would require more cubic feet at the top of a mow than at the bottom. The general rule adopted by those who have tested it, is that a cube, Lach side of which shall measure eight feet, of andet Timothy bay, as taken from now or bottom of stack will weigh a ton. The rule may be varied for upper part of mow or stack according to pressure.

SARATOGA COUNTY.
.
SARATOGA COUNTY.
THIS COUNTY was formed from Albany February 7, 1791. It lies in the north angle formed by the junction of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers. It is centrally distant thirty-one miles from Albany and contains 862 square miles. The surface is hilly or undulating in the south and mountainous in the north. The Palmertown or Luzerne Mountains, in the east part, extend from Warren County, through the west part of Moreau and Milton, and the east part of Corinth, into Green- field, where they terminate in a series of low irregular hills. On the north border of the County, Hudson River breaks through this range in a deep ravine about three miles in length. The mountains rise abruptly from the water's edge to a hight of 800 feet. Their declivities are rocky'and precipitous, and their summits spread out into a broad rocky upland, covered with forests. The Kayaderosseras Mountains extend through the north part of the County and occupy a greater part of Corinth, Day, Edinburgh and Hadley. Their declivities are generally precipitous, and their summits spread out into broad rocky uplands, broken by ledges and rocky peaks. Extending through the west part of Stillwater and Saratoga is a group of isolated hills, with rounded summits and terraced declivities, rising to a hight of 450 feet. Along the Hudson is a broad flat, bordered by a range of clay bluff's from 40 to 200 feet in hight. An extensive sand plain extends westward from the summit of these bluffs to the foot of the mountains, and cover- ing a greater part of Moreau, Wilton, Northumberland, Sara- toga Springs, Malta and Clifton Park. The south-west portion of the County is rolling or moderately hilly. Hudson River flows nearly seventy miles along the east and north-east border of the County. It is interrupted by falls and is crossed by dams and bridges in various places. The Mohawk forms a portion of the south boundary. The Sacondaga River flows through the north-west part in a deep tortuous channel. It

forms the chief outlet of the lakes in the south part of Hamil- ton County, and is navigable for boats of light draught from Fish House, on the border of Fulton County, to Conklinville Falls, in Hadley, a distance of twenty miles. Below the falls it flows between high rocky hills in a series of rapids to the Hudson. Kavaderosseras River drains the central part of the County and flows into Saratoga Lake. The outlet of the lake is Fish Creek. The other streams are Snook Kil, Anthony's Kil and Glowagee Creek. Saratoga Lake is a beautiful sheet of water six and a half miles long and two broad, situated about four miles south-east of Saratoga Springs. Ballston, Round and Owl Lakes are small sheets of water in the south part of the County. Numerous other small lakes and ponds are among the mountains and forests in the north part. The Kayaderos- seras and Luzerne Mountains are both principally composed of primary rocks. A stratum of crystalline limestone extends along the foot of the mountains, and this is succeeded by Pots- dam sandstone. Iron ore is found in these formations. Among the other minerals are agate, chalcedony, chrysoberyl, garnet, tourmalin, phosphate of lime, graphite, iron pyrites and tufa. A full catalogue of the minerals is given in the geological sur- vey of the County. The rocks in the south half of the County belong to the shales and slates of the Hudson River group. A large part of the County is covered with drift deposits, consist- ing of sand and clay. The soil among the mountains is a light, sandy and gravelly loam and is best adapted to grazing. Upon the flats along the rivers the soil is a deep, fertile, clayey loam and alluvium, and in the south-west part it is a heavy clavey loam. A strip of light sand occupies the greater part of the two eastern tiers of towns. The people are principally engaged in grain and stock raising. An extensive lumbering business is carried on in the north part of the County. Manu- factures of cotton and woolen goods, paper, lumber, &c., are caaried on in several places.
The County Seat is located at the village of Ballston Spa, in the town of Milton. The Court House is a substantial brick building, containing the usual rooms and the Jail. The first court house was located two miles south-west of Ballston Spa. By act of March 26, 1794, the sum of £150 was appropriated to build a court house and jail, and in each of the following two Years £600 was added to the amount. The Commissioners ap- pointed to superintend the erection of buildings, were John Brulstreet Schuyler, Richard Davis Jr., John Ball, John Mc- (illand and James Emott. By act passed March 14, 1817, James Merrill, Elisha Powell, Isaac Gere, John Gibson and Gil- lurt Warring were appointed Commissioners to superintend the

erection of new buildings in the place of the old ones which had been burned.
The County Clerk's Office is a fine brick structure, situated in the rear of the Court House. It was erected in 1866. The Commissioners for its erection, appointed in 1865, were Arnold ITarris, Joseph Baucus, David T. Lamb, James W. Horton, Edwin H. Chapman, Charles S. Lester and William V. Clark. The old County Clerk's Office stood upon Main Street and was erected in 1824, under the supervision of Edward Watrous, Eli Barnum and Moses Williams, Commissioners. The first county officers were, John Thompson, First Judge; James Gordon, Jacob Van Schoonhoven, Beriah Palmer, Sidney Berry, Judges ; Sidney Berry, Surrogate; Dirck Swart, County Clerk ; Jacob Fort, Jr., Sheriff ; Guest Van Schoonhoven, Co. Treasurer.
The County Poor House is located in the town of Milton, about a mile and a half from Ballston Spa. The average num- ber of paupers is about 140, supported at an expense of about two dollars each per week.
The public works of the County are the Champlain Canal, extending along the Hudson from Waterford, where it crosses the Mohawk in a basin caused by the construction of a dam, to the south border of Northumberland, at which point it crosses into Washington County; the Erie Canal, which extends a short distance in the County; the Saratoga & Schenectady R. R., extending from Schenectady through Clifton Park, Ball- ston and Milton, to Saratoga Springs; the Rensselaer & Sara- toga R. R., crossing the Mohawk at Waterford, and extending through Half Moon, Clifton Park, Malta and Ballston, to Sara- toga Springs, thence through Wilton, Northumberland and Moreau, to Washington County, connecting with steamboats at Whitehall, at Castleton with the Western Vermont R. R., and at Rutland with the Rutland & Burlington R. R. At Saratoga Junction the lines from Troy and Albany unite. The Adiron- dack R. R. extends north from Saratoga Springs, through Greenfield, Corinth and Hadley.
Two railroads are projected to pass through this County. The Schuylerville and Upper Hudson R. R., to connect Mechanicville and Fort Edward, is now being located and is expected to be built next year. The Saratoga, Greenwich and Hoosick Tunnel R. R. is to connect Saratoga with the Hoosick Tunnel and form a link in the great contemplated east and West route between Boston and Oswego.
The first newspaper published in the County was
The Waterford Gazette, established at Waterford about 1801, by Horace L. Wadsworth, and was continued until after 1816.
