/ ANEcDoTE FOR THE LADIES. The Pris-
on report, among other things, contain
short exposition of the difficulties and yex-
alton which the officers Of the Prison have
to encounter in the government Of the four
female convlcts under their care, and the
Directors most ungallantly assert that these
four make more trouble than the whole re-

JACKSON CHEESE. The town of Goshen.
long famed for its dairy, produces vast num-
bers of cheeses annually, many of which, as
is very well known, are shipped TO the south
ern States. But those which the good peo-
pie OF Goshen are now making for the south
ern market, as we are informed by a
gentleman recently from that town, are
principally Jackson cheeses. The hoops, or
moulds, in which they are pressed, are so
formed as to leave upon their exterior sur
face, the impress of the Generals name, and
in some cases, his profile, warlike symbols
&c. according to the fancy of the ,nanpfac.
turer or his customers. No doubt the plan
will succeed to nicely, and render the
cheese market at the south, much better this
year than usual.-.New Haven Journal.
