C . in the query alluded tp above pomplains that cucumbers preserved in salt, soften in freshening.—This j s true, when only warm, instead of boiling hot water is used, and perhaps they are left standing in a warm place, and the' water not changed# Either of these errors will injure the pickles. The writer o f this has practised pick ling cucumbers as above, upwards of 20 years: and has had them ten years, old, perfectly good. Thus, in seasons of scar city, the provident family may be fully supplied, from former years of plenty. E, C.

The father who was near saw his son fall; and in agony sprang to his relief. After ma king a number of unsuccessful attempts to draw hiVchildoutby the feet^n which case h c v o n ldtibeieem iievitably crush ed tp atoms between the arms of ^the wheel and the floor, there being but just room sufficient for hirii by laying flat on .his face to pass under the sleepers. In this situation theilad cries to his agonized father, and says—“ Don’t be scared, Pa, but shut the gate as soon as you can.” The father shut the gate, and the boy, after riding round on the wheel in a dark gloomy> and perilous situation, some 20 or 30 times, is, by his father, taken out; unhurt from the same hole where he fell in. The feelings of the. parent in this case can be better imagined than descri bed. He was so much agitated by fear that h e knew but little what he was about and with difficulty found the gate to stop the water.—[Patriot.] P atent Coppins.——-It was a few weeks since we mentioned that a pa tent had been taken out in England for the Construction of a coffin, which would be a n effectual obstacle to the depreda tions o f resurrectionists; and we thought the improvement would be acceptable in in this city, we furnished Mr.Hdughton, undertaker inChatham-street with the de scription. .
