VERMONT BUTTER-The County of Gale
dona, in Vermont has long been celebrated for
its diaries, and its butter and cheese frequently
carries offprizes from places where the compe-
titon is open to the whole Union. Caledonia,
as the name imports was chiefly settled by Scotch
and the thrift of the country is strongly observ-
able in that agricultural district. The editor of
the Farmers Visitor spent few days in that
County not long since, and has given some IN
teresting notes of his visit, connected with the
agriculture of the place. In the best daries,
those from which the butter that took the high
est agricultural premiums of the Massachusetts
Society came, the milk is allowed to stand az
hours before the cream is taken from it. 1t is
churned in the old wooden hand churn, worked
in cold water, which is repeatedly drained off
until the milk entirely disappears, and the less
the butter is worked, the better it is deemed.
Working, in the manner commonly practiced
to free from the milk is condemned in these
diaries as injurious to the quality of the butter,
leaving it tough or stringy, and causing it to
adhere to the knife. In the dairy of Mr.. w.
Bachop, who has obtained five premiums at Bos-
ton for Butter-two of 500 each, and three of
$50 each ; the milk in warm weather stands 30
hours, and in cold AZ hours. In the hot season,
in this dairy, 6lbs. of salt, and in cold weather.
) pounds, are allowed to 100 pounds of butter.
The butter in these diaries, when made is
packed in firkins which hold from 80 to 81
pounds
1t is packed so as to be very solid, and the
surface of the butter in the firkin is covered
with a thin white cloth over which fine salt is
spread. Some cover the surface with pure
brine and clean cloth. Caledonian butter always
commands high price in market; and that from
the premium diaries ranges from % to 30 cents
| per pound. The summer Weld from cow varie.

GovERsNENT HOUSE,
MONTREAL, 18th May, 1871.
SiR,--I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your Excellcncys letter Of the 9TH inst requesting
the surrender of one Charles +. Mitchell, against
whom an indictment has been found for a forgery
committed in the Stute of New York
The crime charged against Mitchell being an offence
against those general laws which prevail in every CT
vlized community can have no hesitation in deliver.
ing him to be dealt with according to the laws Of
the country which he is said to have offended. To
shelter our own SOIL charged with an offence
of this nature, after he has been demanded by the pro-
per authorities, would be no less at variance with
what concur with your Exccllency in thinking to be
specially for the interest of two bordering countries
than to detain in custody individual charged with
offence whche has been publicly avowed and justified
by his Government and in my opinion repugnant to
those principles of justice which ought to regulate the
conduct of oil States. have much pleasure, there
fore in complying with your Excclency's requislton,
and shall take immediate steps for the conveyance of
Mitchell in custody to the frontier of Canada. and his
delivery there into the custody of the authorities Of
the State of New York.

SIR,-I acknowledge your Excellency's letter Of
the 18th instant, informing me of your decision to
surrender Charles +. Mitchell to the agent of this
State in compliance with my request. This act Of
enlightened courtesy is highly appreciated by myself
and have no doubt will be viewed in the sumo light
by the President Of the United States to whom 1t shall
Immediately be made known.
regret to learn, from an allusion in your letter,
that your Excellency labors under misapprehen
sion concerning the detention Of British subject in
this State Whatever may have been the character
of tho original transactions in consequence OF which
that person arrested he had the misfortune, be-
fore any affirmation Of that transaction by the British
Government to be indicted in one of our courts and
is said upon confessions of his own, for the crimes
Of murder and arson, committed in this State. His
detention is solely to answer that Indictment and
your Excellency may be assured not only that he will
have fair and impartial trial, but also, that if the
assumption of the responsibility of his offence by his
Government ought, according to the common law
or laws of nations, to relieve him from personal res
ponsil ility, he will be acquitted for that alone
if under other circumstances he could be convict
ed of the cinous offences laid 10 his charge by thu
grand jury.

Your Excellency's obedient servant
