Tuesday morning, as Captain HARMAN and his brother were riding
on the beach towards the haven's mouth, Yarmouth, a shot fired at the
target by one of the field pieces at Hopton camp passed between the
first horse's legs, struck the other, and beat his hoof all to pieces.
Last Saturday evening, a farmer's servant at Long Stratton imprudently
drank so much strong harvest beer, that he had only the power to retire
to the yard before he expired.
As there is a greater quantity of fruit this year than usual (says a
correspondent) it may be acceptable to several of your readers to
inform them of a simple method of preserving apples and pears
(without any expence [sic]) so that in the next Spring they will appear
fresh as if just pulled off the trees, and acquire a mellowness and
flavour equal to French apples. Pick the fruit without bruises, and roll
them separately in fine white paper, pack them carefully in raisin jars,
or any other earthen vessels not glazed; cover the mouths of the jars
very close, and bury them about two feet under ground, and there let
them remain until there is occasion for them, taking them up a jar at a
time as they are wanted.
