CONCENTRATED MILK.-The Winstead
(Ct.) Herald contains the following de-
scription of Mr.. Gail Borden's process of
concentrating and preserving milk:
The milk, as it is received from the
neighboring farmers, (they being paid
some Two or three cents per quart for it,
in cans of six or eight gallons each, is at
once deprived of its animal heat by placing
the cans in ice-cold water. 1t is then, while
in the cans, subject to heat of 160 to
100 degrees few degrees below the
boiling point. Thus prepared, the milk is
Immediately transferred 10 the boiler a
huge receptacle of cast iron, of incalcuable
strength. While there subjected, by means
of steam, to a heat Of but 120 degrees to
16O degrees, the air is withdrawn by two
nicely adjusted air-pumps, and the process
of evaporation commences. The vapor, as
it forms, and this it does with surprising
rapidity, within the vacuum, is as rapidly
condensed and thrown off by means of the
pumps, and so quick is the process, that
according to our information, a boiler of
500 quarts can be reduced to 125 quarts
within one and half hours, The liquid
thrown off by the evaporation, is clear, like
water-has sickish, unpleasant taste-in
no way resembling milk, and its smell is
slightly offensive. 1t is considered, that
the concentrated article is rendered purer
by the process, to say nothing of its other
advantages.

A HARD CAsE-Too Much SPECIE ON
HAND.-A few days ago an honest, eco
nomical bachelor who by long years of
toll saved some $4,000, drew it from the
- Bank in this city, not believing his
money was safe there, in these 'Lroublous
times His money was all in gold He
occupied a room in building in the lower
part of the city. On his way to his quar-
tiers with his gold in a bag, he imagined
every person he passed knew he had gold.
Night came on, and he put the gold be-
tween the beds, and laid down upon it, hut
not to sleep. His imagination was alive;
he deemed every noise made by burglars
who were after his gold. During the long
night watches he was sleepless and he re-
joiced when daylight came. He changed
his quarters-took room in more re-
spectacle locality; put the gold away, went
to work, was uneasy, went again and again
to his room, looked at his bag of yellow
boys and night and darkness came again.
His gold was under him, but noises were
round about him. He slept not. In the
morning he went TO friend on Front st.
and asked, what shall l do with my mo-
neyp told him his trouble for two days
and nights, and aked for advice! go and
deposit your gold again in the - Bank,
and take acertifcate.' He did so, and was
happy, as his money was save.-N Y
Eve. Post.
