Ten Rules to be Observed in
Making Butter.

In making good butter there are several nice
operations to be gone through with. which
require an eye to cleanliness, torethuught and
some little experience.
J. On milking clean, fast, yet gently, rcgrl-
iarly twice day, depends the success of the
dafyman. Bad mixers should not be tolerated
in herd; better pay double the price for good
ones
:. Stralning is quite simple, but it should be
borne IN mind that two pans about half full
each will produce greater amount of cream
than the same milk if in but one pam the rca-
son of this is the greater surface.
3. Scalding is quite an important feature in
the way of making butter in cool weather; the
cream rises much quicker, milk keeps sweet
much longer, the butter is of better color, and
churns in onc-halt the time.
4. Swimming should always be done before
the milk becomes loppered; otherwise much OF
the cream goes INTO whey and is lost.
3. Chulning, whether by hand OF otherwise,
should occEry forty III IIyy minutes.
6. Washing in cold soft wafer is one of its
preserving qualities, and should be continued
until II shows no color Of the milk by the use
of tie Iadle :; very hard water is highly charged
with ilme, and must in measure impart OFT
alkaline properties
Z. Sailing is necessarily done with tie best
Kind OF ground salt the quantity varies accord
ing 10 the state it is taken from the chun, if
soft, more; if hard, less; always taking the
taste for the suest guide
:. First working, after about twenty-four
hours Is for the purpose of giving it greater
cOmpactneSs.
.. Second working takes place at the time of
packing, and when TIE butter has dissolved the
salt, that the brine may be worked out.
10. Packing is done with the hands or with a
butter mali; and when butter is put into wooden
Vessels, they should be soaked two OF three DAYS
in strong brine before using. After each pack
ing cover the butter with ii wet cloth and put
layer of salt upon it; in this way the salt can
be removed at any time, by simply taking hold
OF the edges Of the cloth
Butter made in this way will keep any length
of time required Genesce Farmer

Now, it will be seen by this, that
Jefferson was born just eight years after
his predecessor, John Adams Madison
eight years after his predecessor, Jetfer-
son Monroe eight years after Madison,
and John Q. Adams eight years after
Monroe. Another curious fact to be
observed is, that Adams was just sixty
six years old when he retired; Jeffer-
son was sixty-six, Madison was sixty.

Advent the NsusuuitO.

Again the gaunt musquito comes,
That brigand of the night,
With all his starving family,
To put my dreams to flight,
And try and settle his small bill,
And take draft at sight!
| hear again the dreadful sound
That tells me who is near;
hear him wind his horrid horn,
And whet his poisoned spear;
He sounds the battle blast, and ali
feel that he is here!
l beat the air, seem to wage
With iiends an idle feud
Are blasted in the bud;
I'm vanquished in single round,
And he obtains I" first blood.n
In vain the rank cigar I smoke,
quick wild and desperate grown,
try in vain TO drive him out,
And shut the window down;
For still | hear those tranquil pipes,
Monotenously drone!
Like Cook among the cannibals,
lis useless to appeal,
Or like mummy wind myself
In sheets from head to heel;
The hungry wretch has picked me out
To make himself q meal
He comes by night, as angels do,
To chant his soothing hymn;
He hovereth o er the baby's couch,
just like the cherubim
BY day he wadeth in the swamp,
His legs are long and slim.
Oh bear me to some frozen waste,
Where palor tempests blow;
On train oil will gaze unmoved,
Or Greeland's cliffs of snow,
And be contented to pass my DAYS
Among the Esquimaux

EVENING ECHOES.

As evenings purple shadows darkcn
On the lea,
The silvery echoes mingle-harken
Full and free.
The mountains sing, und wales reclining
In repoSc,
And brooklets nurmur, ever shining
To their close:
Echoes, evening echoes,
Echoes, evening echoes.
The vesper horn is softly blending
Far away,
Its tones of melting sweetness, ending
With the day
Around, above, like angel voices
On the ear,
The harmony of eve rcjoccs,
Swcctly clear:
Echoes, evening echoes, &c.

Hon. to Destroy Cockroaches.-A correspon-
dent of the Montreal Witness says: Several
weeks ago my house had become so ovorrun
with cockroaches that I seriously intended
leaving it two or three nights, to give these
pests the benefit of good dose. L happened
however, to read in the Witness that powdered
borax was a cure for them. 1t was tried and
proved affieacious. Now and again, q stray
cockroach is seen, but certainly not one where
there were hundreds before. Those that make
their appearance have sickly, attenuated look.
The air is so dispirited that the simile lively as
a roach could never apply to them. The
borax is used by sprnkling upon the shelves
and wherever the enemy most do eongrcgae.
1t is a safe remedy, and one that deserves to be
known"

Mr., s. c. Mercs--Sir: On the night
of the 23d inst. about rs guorriIlAs made
a dash on the Railroad three miles from
this place, for the purpose, it is suppos-
ed, Of burning bridge that was guarded
by detachment of the SD Indiana,
but finding the guards wide awake and
prepared to receive them, they moved
down the railroad two miles, where they
tore up the track for few rods, and also
destroyed culyert, after which they
seoreted themselves by the roadside, to
await the coming of the train, TO see il
crushed 70 pieces, together with it's pas
sengers' AT length the train came, and
sure enough, plunged unoonseiously into
the snare, smashing the engine and two
cars But fortunately no lives we're lost.
A Captain of the Goth Indiana and sew .
erAl OF his men were wounded by falling
from the cars. When the engine run of
the track the Rebs. instantly went for it,
evidently for the purpose of burning the
entire train, but the guards soon rallied
and brisk skirmish ensued for sever
al minutes, when the guerrillas were
driven off in great confusion. Several Of
the guards were wounded, and one Ia
ken pris, ner The enemy's loss has moi
been Ascortained.
Meantime another train came in sight,
but seeing the difficulty into which the
preceding one had fallen, il at oIcO back
ed down TO this place, and informed Col
COburn Commanding posD of the fray,
He immediately detailed 90 men and
officers from the 33d Indiana, and dis.
patched them to the scene Of action with
all possible haste--my humble self one
Of the number. But ere we could reach
there the guaHillAs had fed, and could

They are Called Traitors


By chapter exc. of the Code, the often
ces against the sovereignty Of the State,
are defined by section first
"Treason shall consist only in levying
war against the State or Adhering
10 its enemies, giving them aid
and comfort, or establishing without au-
thority Of the Legislature any Govern
ment within its limits separate from the
existing Government or holding or exec
cutting, in such usurped Government,
any office, or protesting allegiance and
fidelity to it,; or resisting the execution
Of the laws, under color Of it's authority
and such treason, if proved by the testi-
mony of two witnesses TO the same overt
act, or by confession in court, shall be
punished with death, "'o'A
One Colonel Daniel Il. Delaney, aid to
the bogus Governor Pierpont, having been
captured, will, we presume, be dem and :
ed by Gov. Letcher, and delivered up by
the Confederate authorities for trial, I'M
der the above quoted law. This Dula-
ney is no prisoner of war; there is nc
war between the traitor Pierpont and the
Confederate Government. Pierpont and
Dulaney are both criminals in the eyes
of the Virginia laws. One has been ap.
pretended, and, we hope, will be speed
lily brought 10 trial.
Retaliation is not now to be apprehen-
ded: but, even if il was, it should not foI
an instant prevent Gov. Letcher from as
sorting and protecting the sovereignty Of
the State, and Furnishing this Delaney fol
violating the law. This Delaney, Aid t.
bogus Governor Pierpont, has rendere
his treason pslpable. Not only two, but
il necessary, many more witnesses car
attest his villainous treason. Let him bt
tried, condemned and executed.
OF course, then, there will be no OBJ
lection to an application of the same rule
