PORT ELIZABETH
Mr. W. PILKINGTON has arrived by the Steamer with a few artificers. Their first work will be to put up at Cape Receif a wooden House which they have brought with them from Cape Town. A singular fancy seems to prevail in some of the Departments that a House may be made and brought up from Cape Town at less expense than it could be put together here.
P.E. Telegraph, July 5

The Phoenix, steamer, has brought 127 emigrants, who appear to be of a respectable class : they are described as, 5 carpenters, 1 wheelwright, 3 masons, 2 bricklayers, 2 sawyers, 2 blacksmiths, 1 ploughman, 2 shepherds, 1 baker, 1 groom, 28 laborers, in all 48 men, 24 women, and 55 children. Many persons who would be employers are unfortunately deterred from making application for servants, in consequence of these emigrant ships going to Table Bay, instead of coming direct to this place. The idea, whether well founded or not, it everywhere prevalent that the best are selected and detained in Cape Town: neither is the accommodation afforded by a deck passage in the steamer, very conducive to the health of the emigrants. –Ibid.

FORT BEAUFORT. – A letter received from the Winterberg states that an Englishman named WEBB, is in the employ of Mrs. EDWARDS, of Post Retief, had attempted to destroy himself by cutting his throat. He had inflicted on himself a frightful wound, but it was hoped not a mortal one. Dr. WAY immediately started from Beaufort for the spot; the result we have not heard, nor have we heard any cause assigned for the insane act.

CATTLE DEPREDATION. – A report has been made to us of five cows having been taken about 12 days ago out of the kraal of Mr. J. CARLISLE, about 3 miles S. of Graham's Town.

HOW TO DRESS A WIFE
A method for "Dressing a Wife" which cannot fail to preserve her in her first affections through all changes of life.
"Take equal quantities of manly affection, refinement, and generosity; place them on Hymen's flame; a full cup of perfect confidence, with the root of the plant good temper; avoid particularly the least of distrust or deceit. When thoroughly heated, put the mixture in a jar of consistency, in which tenderly place the Wife, surrounding her with such particles of comfort as grow on the evergreen kindness. The nature of the wife should be consulted, and leaves of those innocent pleasures to which she inclines be plentifully strewed around her. Garnish the dish abundantly with the most perfect blossoms of that sweet flower delicacy, which will preserve it in its original beauty and attraction. Serve with it the sauce of affectionate politeness, which is indispensably necessary to it at all times. By following this receipt, there are few wives who will not repay tenfold the care bestowed, by the brightness and fragrance they shed over the domestic hearth."
I only wish my husband had pickled or preserved me in this manner.
Matilda

HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND
"Some smother their husbands in hatred, contention, and variance, and some keep them in pickle all their lives. These ladies always serve them up with tongue sauce. Now it cannot be supposed that husbands will be tender and good if managed this way. But they are, on the contrary, very delicious when managed as follows :-
Get a large jar, called the jar of carefulness (which all good wives have on hand,) place your husband in it, and set him near the fire of conjugal love."
