Mr. Blgelow, stated that the Butter was made
from a DAIRY OF IL cows-the cream. taken from

had been taken for family use.
The Certificate, accompanying the Butter Of
MIR. Hasti9gs, was as follows -" The Butter
was paeffa and preserved in the usual method
excepting In warm weather, when ice was put
IN the charn. Twenty cows have been kept up
on my farm, for the past season. between the
first Of Jene and of October. The quantity
made in my dairy, between those days has been
from ~ to 100 lbs. week, being about 1900 lbs -
Two lots Of Butter, were entered too late to
come into competition for the premiums, one by
Jonathan Cutting Of Templelon-the other by

good quality-that of Mr.. Whitney was the best

a manner better adapted than usual to the pur-

appeared to be thoroughly made, and capable OF
being well preserved through the exposures to
which such cheese is liable before it reaches its
ultimate place of destination.
The Committee noticed in their room,
g Kei,h's Patent Churn," sent in for exhibition
by the Governor, to whom it was presented by
Mr. Gault of Concord, IN. H. through the
agency of the proprietor of the Agricultural
Depository in Boston. Although not so strict
ly within their province, it is so near it as to
induce them to notice it in their Report, and 10
remark that it is within the knowledge Of one
of the Committee that this Churn is in use in
Barre and that vicinity, and is regarded as a
valuable Improvement.

School HOUSES should befso repaired as to
roado- tl.e.i. and comfortable II is a
fact, known TO every one who has attended at
all to the subject that many of our town school
houses are hardly warm enough for barns
When scholars have to walk considerable dis
lance in cold weather, many Of them thinly
clad, if the room is not warm enough they must
either sit shivering over their books without
being able to study, or keep up tremendous
cla,ter b. going to and from the fire. But the
repar OF school houses is net the only thing
which should be attended TO at this season il
we wish our children to profit by the money We
pay for their instruction. A sufficient quantity
Of dry fuel should be procured and cut to a
proper length before the school commences.
This will obviate the necessitg of sending a
troop of boys to make depredalions on the fen
ces in the neighborhood, as is sometimes done.

PAINTING HousEs. A writer in the New
England Farmer sSys it has been proved by re-
peated experiments that house painted late
in autumn or in the winter, viii hold the paint
more than ttoice as long as one painted in warm
weather." And he gives as reason, that IN
cold weather the oil and other ingredients form
a hard cement, whereas in warm weather the
oil penetrates into the wood, and leaves tne
other parts dry, so that they crumDle on ms
of houses, especially those of wood, for the OK
pense Of keeping them wen painted has hlthsr-
10 been a serious iproad upon the purse.

INSTINCT. When caterpilars, observes
Mr.. Smelhe, are shaken from tree, in
whatever direction they descend, they all
instantly turn towards the trunk and climb
upwards, though till-now, they have never
been on the surface OF the ground.
The vegetable Kingdom offers us exam
pies of simple instinct equally singular and
marvellous. Thus the stock Of the convol-
vulus twlnes from the left or East hy the
South to the West, the face being towards
the South: the kidney bean, pursues the
same course: while the honeysuckle and
mop take perfectly reverse dIrectlon.-
VINO will reveal to US, the cause OF these
differences.

the-we know not what name of their an
J cestors. The prayer offered runs thus:
1--WE, multitude of children, grand
children, and other descendants, now, on
such day, have come hither 20 worship at
our ancestors Tumuli. We pray that by the
protection of our ancestors, we may become
prosperous and that their descendants may
have constant support"
These ceremonies being ended, they rise
up from their knees, to eat, to drink, and to
play. The poor enter into the same cere-
monies as far MS their means will allow. The
observances may take place on any day
within one month from the commencement
of the Tsngming term. The benevolent
perform these rites at graves which cease
to have posterity on the spot On Java, and
at other colonies, in the archipelago, socie-
ties are formed to do these honors to the
destitute dead. And Chinaman's greatest
fear is, that ne shall not have posterity to
worship at his tomb.
The rairnent, gold and silver paper. and
the sacrifices, are all supposed to feed,
clothe, and enrich the deceased, in an Invisi
bic state.
Why the people pray to their deceased
kindred as gods, we are at losssto conleG-
ture; especially as the Chinese Confucion-
lists deny the existence of separate spirits.
At the Tsingming term, those who think
their ancestors inferred in unlucky places,
remove the remains into some other region.
The homes are collected, wrapped in paper,
deposited in an urn. and carried to another
grave. The old coffin is thrown away. We
hear, that at Macao, nearly hundred bod
les have been disinterred, tn make way for
a new road. The kindred accepted pecu-
MARY compensation of about six dollars, from
the road committee, to remove the bones of
their sires. They are at liberty to do SO
but Government would not on any account
compel them.

BEES. The last North American Re-
view contains an article on the management
of bees, written by lady who has for seven
years, had colony Of bees under her i'm
mediate inspection, and who has devoted
much Of her time to the observation of their
habits, customs, and manners. She says the
honey bee is native of every part of the
globe, and that it is every where distin-
guished by the same traits, with the slight
variation produced by climate. It preserves
the same singular economy in the hollow
tree Of the forest and in the hive of the bee
she'd it is the same in all situations and in
all ages. The bee never changes its food !;
it for ever partakes of the noutishment ex-
tracted from the nectarv of flowers. The
scent of bees is so acute that every flower
which has powerful odor can be discover
ed by them at great distance. They re-
sort TO the dung-hill and the pig-pen, not FOR
honey, but for medicine. They sometimes
carry the juices of the peach and of other
fruits, to their cells. The average number
of "a hive or swarm is from Is TO 20,000 bees.
If the swarm consists of 10000, there are
19,499 working bees, 500 drones, and one
queen or mother. One queen laws all the
eggs of hive, and she never leaves the
hive tor moment, except when she goes
forth with new swarm. When queen
bee dies or leaves the hive, all the bees run
about in great agitation for day or two,
before they make an effort to repair their
loss. They then search for cells where
queen eggs, (eggs which will produce
queens have been deposited; they enlarge
these cells, if necessary, and enable the
queen bee to grow, and she soon comes out
perfectly formed, to the great pleasure of
the bees.
This writer says it is disgraceful to such
a country as ours to import wax or honey !;
and that We ourselves ought to export tons
Of it every year. She thinks that Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut are well situated,
and abundantly supplied with proper food
for bees; and that the keeping Of bees is
an occupation easily followed, requiring
little capital, and yielding an enormous
profit Hampshire Gazette.

oil legislation which, we are considering, they have
heretofore had no more Influence, and theiv inter-
ests have been no more regarded, than if CAPT
ital, and not numbers, were the basis of our rep
rcsentation.
Ii, then, it be true, that capital controls this
branch OF legislation, il will be at once perceived
now the nouonhas obtained currency that high
prices constitute national prosperity II the un-
doubted interest OF capitalists, in other words, of
those who SELL to enhance the prices of their pro-
ducons; but IL Is undoubtedly the interest OF the
great body OF the people, in other words of those
who purchase, that the price of those productions
should be diminished. .>The history of this branch
OF British legislation, is nothing more nor less than
history OF the coalitions formed between the diff
ierent descriptions of capitalists--the landholders
on the one hand, and the manufacturers on the
other-to compel all the other classes Of society TO
pay enhanced prices for their productions. Whe-
Their, in this instance, the fatal career of English Ie-
gisaton, will be followed up its final results in
this country, win depend, in the opinion of the
committee, upon the art of the capitalist in dis
guisng his eKactions, and the liability of the con-
sumner to be imposed upon by false pretences.
Ii VIII be perceived by the House that the fore
gong examination of the effect of the proposed
duties on foreign merchandise, has been designed
70 ascertain whether the increased wealth of the
community, supposed TO result from those duties,
viii be such as 10 enable the Nation 10 import 9TH
er foreign merchandise beyond its present consump-
ton equivalent to the manufactures proposed to be
excluded: The Committee, it will be seen, have
"ei5 ialteu 10 discover any sucn increased re-
sources. On the contrary, it seems clear to the
committee, that the capacity of the people 10 p,ir-
chase other foreign merchandise, will be dimin-
ished in proportion TO the increased price they will
have to pay, for the kinds of articles which shall
be excluded. Indeed, it strikes them as being pa
TOO extravagant for the grave consiie-
ration, to say that we shall increase the capacity
OF the people TO purchase luxuries by compelling
them to pay much higher prices for the two car,
dinal necessaries oflife. And yet this paradox is
the only foundation upon which the Secretary of the
treasury INDUCES the anticipation that other
branches of foreign commerce will spripo nm from
the ruins OF that which he proposes to DESTROY
while contemplating with too partial and exclu-
slve socitude, the benefits which may result to the
domestic manufacturers from the prohibitory sys-
TEN, he seems TO overlook, entirely its deIeterious
and desolatng effect upon the wide range of inter-
ests inseParably connected with those branches
OF foreign commerce it proposes 70 annihilate.
