POULTRY.—There is so much In the follow­ing that should be more generally known, and is so applicable to the season, that we Insert it in our local columns r |

" Food in the Crop injures the appearance, is liable to sour, and purchasers object to paying for this worse than useless we ight -therefore, keep fr tm food twenty-four hours before killing. Opening the veins of tho nock or bleeding In tho mouth lathe best mode of killing. If the head be taken off at first, the skin will reced« from the neck bone, pres -ntlng a repulsive feature. Most of the poultry sold here baa the head left on, and this Is best when the process of killing has not injured the appearance of the head. When It is preferred to remove the head, It should be taken off at the throat, the skin peeled back a little, and a portion of the neck bone removed, the skin then drawn over the end and tied and trimmed neatly. The Intestines or the crop should not ho "drawn." For scalding poultry, the water should be as near to the boiling point as pos­sible, without actually boiling; the bird be­ing held by the legs, should be Immersed and lifted up and down in the water three times—this makes picking easy. Te feath­ers should then be at once removed, pin-feathers and all, very cleanly, and without breaking the skin. It should next be " plumped," by being dipped about two sec­onds Into water, nearly or quite boiling hot, and then at once into cold water, about the same length of time. Most of the dressed poultry sold here is wet-picked, and such Is generally preferred; but very fat, handsome turkeys, dry-picked, sell woll at Thanksgiv­ing and Christmas. Great care should be taken to avoid cutting or bruisinnjjhe flesh or breaking the bones. It should Be entirely cold, but not frozen, before being packed. If It reaches market sound without fVeezing, it will MCII all tho better.

Our beet markets for poultry are Thanks­giving, (generally the last Thursday in No­vember. Christmas and New Years. 'Tur­keys sell well on either of these occasions, but best at Thanksgiving. Geese sell best at Christmas, and chickens at New Years. The retailers always supply themselves two or three days in advance, and lots should got here at latest, by the fourth day before the holiday. This is a matter too little attended to, and of much importance; the poultry that arrives too late always meets a > poor market."

ROOMS WANTED.—Those having rooms to rent, convenient for a small family, until Spring, can hear of a tenant by inquiring at this office.

ENTERI-RISR.—A short time since, we had occasion to speak of the fact that L. D. GAR­RISON had purchased the bakery and confec­tionery store of ALFRED WHITK, on. Court street, near the post office. LBAVITT has now fitted rooms up stairs for the purpose of nirnishing a lunch at any hour, and has also shown good sense In employing our popular young friend, JAMES VAN VALBN, Jr., to su­perintend this department. Pies, cakes, bread, tea and coffee, <fccv served as desired. Oysters cooked In any and every stylo ; and those who have ever had occasion to enjoy JIM'S cookery, know his skill as all that can be asked. L, D. manufactures all kinds of confectionery, and has just received from New York a largp quantity of " Keller's Co­coa Fruit Candy," and " Ojiera Cream Can­dy," which are all the rage in this line, and aro certainly most delightful to the taste. LKAVITT would bo pleased to greet his friends and others at his new place of busi­ness.

And we be­lieve it to bo the only masquerade party Cortland him ever known. This Company have decided to give on the evening of the 27th Inst., anothet Fancy Dress Ball, and as

' > they have experience now to assist them, we are safe, to judge by the first one, In saying that this will be a still more rich and in-ill liant party. Arrangements aro being rapid­ly perfected, costumes obtained, and every­thing that (s necessary will bo done to ren­der this a complete success, and satisfactory to all who may attend.

C FORRESTER, with a company of the best-selected actors .that over visited Cort­land, gave nightly theatrical entertainments to the largest audiences that Cortland has ever given any entertainment of the kind. In fact, Mr. FORRESTRR was exceedingly gratified with the appreciation with which his efforts to please the public were received, and has therefore announeed his intention to visit us again, opening on Monday next, the 16th Inst., with the beautiful play of "Fan-chon, the Cricket," with Mrs. FORRESTER as "Fanchon." Mrs. F., herself, not only added largely to tho efficiency of the company, by her fine acting, but won many per­sonal friends by her kind and lady­like demeanor in the social circle. And LINY Ann, too, the popular, sociable, LINYARD, who returns with them, won't he receive a hearty greeting, too. Cortland has fairly become excited over the expected ad­vent of this troupe. «They have several m»w actors, but as wo know that FORRESTER has none but good ones, we feel assured that next Monday evening will see Messenger Hall crowded by those anxious to receive their favorites. The season will continue during tho week, with an entire change of programme each evening.

RAILROAD SUICIDE.—We learn that as the train from Syracuse was driving up to the depot at Chenango Forks last night, a wo­man by the name of TTJTBILL who, it seems, was secreted under tho platform of the de­pot, precipitated herself under the car wheels, and was Instantly killed, her head being lit­erally mashed to pieces. She had frequently threatened to kill herself, and bad been close­ly watched, but managing to elude their vig­ilance, she effected the suicide as above sta­ted. We could not learn the cause for com­mitting the act •

P. 8.—Since the above was put in type, we have been informed that the lady's name was Miss KATE TCTHILL, that she was dressed in boy's clothes, in order the better to effect her design, was dreadfully mangled, lived only a short time, and died In horrible agony.

A d d r e s s before the Urv I . O. of O. T .

The following is tho address" of GEO. L. WATERS, which was delivered on Friday evening, Nov. 29, before the Lijnooln Lodge of Good Templars of this vlllaim: W. O. T. SistersandBrothers of <•«/. ft 0 . T.:

There Is no person, no matter how dopra-ved, that will say. in his momints of sober­ness, that the work in which we are engaged, is hot a good one. No one ca t dispute but wliat thore is great need of our vork In every community. No ono can say tliat our work Is not sanctioned by the Blblo,«nd earnestly recommended by our Savior. 1 et, while all admit these things, stilt, the enemies of tem­perance are exceedingly numei ous: in fact so numerous that probably two-thlrds of the civil officers of the United States are Mends of Intemperance. While all admit that in­temperance Is a source of untold horror, still there Is scarce a village but can; boast of its licensed hotel where the young 'and old are dragged down In wickedness and rapidly swallowed up In the vortex of hell. Scarce a village can be found but on th<f pages of its history may be seen the sorrowful story of the drunkard, the tale of ruin, suffering and disgrace.

Who are the enemies of our cause f What arguments can, they bring against us f They aro composed of threo classes, vfe: the rum-seller, the drunkard, and the unprincipled politician.

The rumscller's object in Waging war against us is that he knows that every person who takes the oath of total abstinence, takes one contributor from those who Help to make up his'ill-gotten gains. He knows that if our work succeeds, that his tradb Is ruined. He knows that if our work is not ruined that his must be. And well may he tremble, for the Good Templars' work although but Just begun, is assuming a strength i which will deal death and destruction to its ktnemtes and compel the poor, miserable rumsullor to seek an occupation, if not more honorable, at least loss destructive to the happiness of his fellow-men.

The drunkard fights against the cause of temperance, because he has formed an appo-tlte for strong drink, and bis passions compel him to fight Tor a measure that he knows Is ruining himself, murdering his family, and bringing disgrace upon his country. What have we done for this class P Thank God we have helped thorn too, and there, is scarce a Lodge of our Order but can i point with pride to Its list of reformed drunkards, to its list of souls saved from a fearful doom. That other class, the unprincipled politician, what can we say of It r Perhaps those of this class aro worso than all tho rest. Perhaps they aro more to be dreaded than all the rest. They aro composed of man, who for their own selfish purposes, will do anything, no matter how wicked. Thoy know how much power there is in liquor. They know tbqt whisky will buy votes, and that if this uower is taken away, that their power is gono and they can no more insult the pooplo by becoming executors of their offices; for these reasons they fight desperately for our enemies. What have we done for this class V I fear but little, and I fear we never can do but little. But if we cannot persuade them to discontinue thoir villainous work, wo can go on with our work, and as wo grow stron­ger, we can hurl defiance in their teeth. We can level our weapons upon them and drive them sneaking from the field.

'There is another class of persons that oft-times lend their influence against our Order, and put weapons iu the hands of those more directly engaged in war with the cause of temperance. They aro men that are looked upon by the world as respectable. They hold high positions in society. Sometimes they are found in the ranks of the ministers of the gospel. They say that the object of tho Good Templars is a good one, but they are against secret societies, and therefore will have nothing to do with the organization. Thoy give this answer and feel satisfied that thoy have done thoir dutyi They never think that their words arc taken up by hun­dreds of miserable beings and used as weap­ons against tlje temperance cause. This class of persons who have such a horror for secret societies pretend to be temperance men, yet you will see them as thoy pass through the streets, on meeting the drunk­ard, if he is Intoxicated, turn Out and go around him j if he is sober, they will put on a look of disdain as they pass, as much as to say, " Don't look at me, poor drunkard, / am a temperance man." Whoever heard one of these good men asking the drunkard to leave his cups ? Nobody. Occasionally you will heai ono of this class of ministers, in the house of God, surrounded by good men and women, without one solitary drunkard in their whole congregation, preaching a temperance sermon, and telling of the hor­rors of intemperance. If some of the con­gregation become waked up 'upon tho sub­ject and inquire if it would not bcpollcy to Join their efforts with the Good Templars, the man of God is struck with horror at the idea of one of his (lock -joining a secret so­ciety, and administers a stern robukc to his questlonor, and thus unknowingly strikes an­other blow to the cause of temperance. I have sometimes thought that had this class of men sons, who had formed an appetite for strong drink, when a drunkard's gravoyawn-etl before thoso sons, when all that friends could do to save them would bo unavailing, when the mother of those sons was goluf down heart-broken to the grave on account of those troubles, when disgrace and shame came thick and fast, I have thought that then, and not till then, would their eyes be opened and (hey be thankful indeed for tho assist­ance of the secret Order of Good Templars. But what answer can we give those who bring tho argument against our Order be­cause «f its secrecy ? Ask the father and mother, who are undcrstandingly contempla­ting what course thoy will pursue to save a son from falling, ask them it they admit mat son to those councils 'I They will tell you, no. Ask any family, if, in tho discussion of family affairs, they admit strangers to the family circle r They will tell you, no. Then go to your Biblo and see if you capnot find evon on tho pages of that holy volume, ac­counts of the servants of God meeting to­gether and desiring to be alone. ^ See If Christ and his disciples never mot together and desired the presence of none. Thus It is with tho Good Templars. They rrjeet to­gether each week, and one of the first core-monies that is gone through with Is to hum­bly ask God to bless all mankind, to reclaim tho drunkard, and to pity suffering every­where. Then they counsel as to how and where thoir efforts can best be directed to ac­complish the most good, and no meeting is ever brought to a close until they again re­turn thanks to the great Giver of all things, and ask His aid until another meeting.

No person can bring an argument against our Order that we can notr fairly answer. There Is no person that will argue candidly and fairly but wo can convince that our Or­der is right And what encouragement can. we have for working f We can havo the en­couragement of knowing that only a short time ago our Order started under a dark sky, without one cent In tho treasury to make It respectable, and without friends to help it on. To-day the treasury has assumed a re­spectability that will make Its power folt. Our numbers can be reckoned by thousands. The dark sky which so long overhung our prospects is rapidly lighting up. New rays of light are each day shooting off from the grand center, illuminating the dark holes of corruption and making tho rumsolhjr flee from the wrath to come. Christianity goes band in hand with our work, glorifying God and promoting happiness.
