and as many of the Allies were moving to the
attack
Such was, in brief, the position of the bellig-
erents at the last advices before the battle.
The great battle, which is to be known in
history as the Battle Of Solferino, was fought
on the right, OR west, bank of the Mincio, on
| the 24th of June. 1t appears from the very
meagre datails at hand, that the Anstrians after
having once retreated beyond the Minco, on the
23d ult. crossed back to the west bank and adj
vanced with one hundred and fifty thousand
men, in line OF battle extending more than
three leagues, till they encountered the advanc-
ing Allies, who must have been in equal or
greater force. What strategic object the Aus
trian Commanders could have had in view in re-
crossing the Minclo, and advancing and seeking
an engagement, it is impossible to divine, un-
less they thought to surprise the Allies and
hight them at disadvantage or perhaps having
for so long time been flying before victorious
army, they thought to restore the courage of
their dispirited soldiery by turning swiftly and
boldly upon the troops Of the allied Kings. 1t
would certainly have been more prudent for
them. having once got safely to the east bank of
the river, and within the base of that terrible
triangle, to have acted on the defensive, and
there awaited the advance of their enemies,
which they might have been sure would not
have been long delayed But having selected
their position, having made the attack, their
defeat becomes the more signal and oyerwhelm-

FREEDOM FOR KANsAs.-The people should
know how the sham Democratic papers lie about
Kansas. They have boosted for the last month";
that they had majority of the Convention, or
that the Republicans had not. The other side
of the subject is given in the following despatch
from Lawrence, July 9th
A special dispatch says that the Kansas Con-
vention met at Wyandotte yesterday, and per-
mancntly organized by the election Of j. M.
Winchell as President, and A. j. Martin as
Secretary. No business of Importance was
transacted. The Convention stands thirty-fvo

this head. The habits of some slz ions re-
quire more salt than others. Some directions
give seven eights Of an ounce OF salt to a
pound of butter as rule Let the salt be
thoroughly incorporated with the butter at its
first working. The butter must be subjected
on the ensuing day to a second working ;
these two may suffice for present consumption
but for butter, intended to be long kept, a
third working on the third day will be neces-
sary. Experience and practice can alone en-
able the operator to work the butter success
fully, so as to completely exclude the butter
milk, without rendering the butter Salvy. A
machine called butter-worker will very
much aid in the second aud third workings
1t is to be remembered that butter will keep,
and that butter-miIk will not-conjoned,
they will certainly spoil.
FINAL PACKING.
For keeping butter, for family or neigbor-
hood use, know of no vessel preferable to
stone crooks, containing two or three gallons
each. In these crooks pack the butter in
layers Of such thickness as will be convenient
for use, sprinkling little salt between each
layer; this sprinkling of salt is for conven-
fence in extracting the butter for use. Con-
tinue until the crock is nearly full then
cover with fine muslin cloth, on which place
layer Of salt half an inch thick then fill
with strong brine and cover with a stone
cover, and the work is done.
If the directions given in this essay are
followed with the skiu and tact of practice,

The Battle Of Solferino.

That our readers may get more complete
idea OF the great battle fought on the Oath I'll
timo between the entire Austrian army in Italy,
and the whole of tho forces under Napoleon
and Victor Emmanuel, we will briefly recaptu-
late the events of the campaign since the Aus
TRANS reiterated across the 'ricno.
The battle of Magenta, fought the 4th Of
June determined the fate Of all Lombardy west
of the celebrated triangle of Austrian for
tresses. On the 9Th of June, the allied sover-
oigns, Napoleon and Victor, were received in
Milan, with perfect frenzy of joy, by the en-
thusiastic Milanesc The Aussrians had re-
treated from Milan SO precipitately that they
left large amount Of treasure, which fell into
the hands Of the Allies. But while there was
this joy at Milan, Marshal Paraguay d'Hilllers
was fighting the rear guard of the retreating
army at Malegnano, an important fortified
place few miles east Of Milan. The place was
taken after hard and bloody fight, and again
the entire Austrian army was in full retreat.
However much the reading public wondered
at the tardness and procrastination of Gyulai
in his advance after first violating the Sandman
territory, bis army has shown an alacrty and
despatch in its retreat, that proves its ability to
make forced and rapid marches
After the affair at Malegnano, they hurried
away toward their lortresses, dismantled and
evacuated Payia and Piacenza, crossed the AIDA,
flying away from that bridge of Lodi with
which they could only associate defeat, blowing
up Notifications that had cost immense labor
and money, spiking cannon they were obliged to
leave, crossing the Oglio, and never hating UNI
til they were in sight of Mantua, and had ar
rived on the right bank of the Mncio. Their
only ann has seemed to be, to get as soon as
possible under the shelter of Notifications,
which they no doubt regard as impregnable,
and their stand was at last made on the base of
that terrible triangle Of lortresses, Peschiera,
Verona, and Mantua. And during this retreat
before Napoleon and Victor, Garibaldi had been
pushing the Austrians in the north, driving them
before him, and leading his enthusiastic soldiers
almost to the passes Of the Tyrol, his army be-
ing constantly augmented by the inhabitants
who crowded to join the tri-colored banner
Prince Napoleon was also moving from Florence
!. to join the victorious army of the Allies, while

CHURNING.

right cylindrical shaped churn, made of oak ;
both extremeties Of the same size, and having
slight bilge, not in the middle as in a bar
rel, but swelling few inches from the bottom
In such a churn the dash nearly fills the
churn from top to bottom, excepting the slight
bilge, and all the cream Is continuously and
uniformly agitated. The cream should be
brought by cold or warm water surrounding
it, Or by such appliances as the ingenuity of
the operator may devise, to the temperature

ture churned. have known most excellent
butter made by a skillful dairywoman, with
out other thermometer than little oil the
cream taken on her finger and touched to her
forehead. Experience has proved that such
stroke OF the churn-dash as will bring the
butter in about 30 minutes, makes the best
butter. AT temperature OF about 62 deg.
Fahrenheit, from so to so strokes Of the
dash per minute will accomplish this result,
il care is taken to strike the top Of the cream
and the bottom of the churn ut every stroke.
II the churn be filled so that the dash cannot
strike the top of the cream, the operation can
scarcely be accomplished at all. Rapid
churnlng should be avoided at the commence
ment, though the motion may be accelerated
after the cream curdes with butter. The
butter, when sufficiently gathered by churn-
ing, should be transferred with IA wooden
ladle to a wooden bowl

After dashing along this way for nearly

dashed most fearfully into the boughs ola tam
elm, so that the basket swung under and up
through the crotch of the limb, and while the
boat had caught in some of the other branches,
and this brought us to little; but in another
moment the "Atlantic" pulled up her huge
proportions, and at one swoop away went the
limb, basket and boat into the air hundred
feet, and was afraid some of the crew were
impaled upon the scrags. This limb about
eight inches thick at the butt and full of
branches, not weighing less than six or eight
hundred pounds, proved too much for the
"Atlantic," and it brought her suddenly down
upon the top of very tall tree, and collapsed
her. 1t was fearful plunge, but it left us
dangling between heaven and earth, in the most
sorrowful looking plight of machinery that can
be imagined.

There have been some long aeronautic excur-

none that compare with it. Mr.. Clayton
assembled from Cincinnati in 1888, and landed
$3.50 miles away in Western Virginia, in nine

gentlemen assembled from yauxhall Gardens,
London, and landed in the Duchy of Nassau in
eighteen hours, the distance made being about
500 miles.

l. The keeping quality of butter

he best. I have for years visited at the
houses of two highly intelligent and expert
enced dairywomen, both famous in their re-
spectiye neighborhoods, for the excellence of
their butter. One of them who has obtain
ed premiums at public exhibitions for the
best butter, and who has supplied numerous
regular customers, to their entire satisfaction
with crooks oil choice butter for winter keen

cold water in extracting the buttcrmilk, and
she assures me that the good keeping proper.

other lady, whose numerous customers are

of the butter made by her over that of Or

in contact with cream or butter except in
extreme cases of oily softness. have often
eaten butter at their houses, and my iudg-
ment is that the unwashed butter is slightly
superior in delicate aroma and narrow
sweetness: yet to distinguish the difference,
the taste must be set fine and the attention

Ii any one wants the political integrity
of the candidates put in nomination for the sew
eral offices in State, counties or towns, they
can be fully assured of their good faith by a
reference to the opposition papers Such a
voucher we find in the Woodstock Age, in re-
gard to the new selections on the County Tick
ct in Windsor County. The Age says:
Three of the four names brought forward this
year, are renegades from other parties, and
like "rag cloth " the fabric of the ticket
shows large preponderance of the industry of
the scavengers and rag gatherers, over the few
small threads, by which it is hoped to attach it
to some more respectable department of mate
rial. But the experiment of the dominant
party in this County, which has been going on
for the past few years, to see how much Of a
Senator can be made out of the least possible
capital, will have to be discontinued after this
year, unless our Republican friends possess the
attribute of calling into being something out of
nothing. We thought last year, when John
