Fine Lots of Cheese.

In our notice of tho Cheese Trade, last
week, VIC might have said with truth, that
the darymon of Gcouga arc surprising
those of othor Counties, not only in the
quantity, but also in tho quality Of the
cheese produced by thoir labor and skill
Very little, if any, of poor quality has been
brought into market; and it is nearly all
excellent, Of tho choose brought in on
Tuesday, that from tho dniyins of Thomas
Carroll, Auson Bartlett, A. Church, J. j
Williams, VIM Fayles, and others. was very
fine. 81 cheese, weighing 5,945 pounds
from Mr.. CarroI's, and 80, weighing 0 O37
pounds, from Mr.. 3artlett's dairy, wore
admirably cured. Whoever shall produce
an equal number of better sizo and quality
will certainly deserve the premium.
