BUTTER IN A HURRY.--Quite an excitement
was created among dairymen hereabouts last
week by the performance of the Fowler & Wal
ter Churn--a new pIteEt. The owners claim
Tor it the power to make six per cent. mole
butter than any other, and the ability "to
bring it in from three to eight minutes under
any circumstances. The latter was proved to
the satisfaction of everybody. Time and again
it was tried and in three minutes, or less. from
the time the cream was put into the churn the
butter came. New milk skim milk even
under its persuasion. yielded its full amount
of the oleaginous compound in an Incredibly
brief period. Rights to make and sell in five
or six counties were sold to parties here. Our
scientific men pronounce it no humbug.- To-
rain County Aeirs.
The above churn has for several days past
been on exhibition at the American House,
and its operations have given unbounded salts.
faction to all who have behe'd it. Messrs
ENlNONs & ZEIGLER, of this place. have purchas-
ed the right for this and other counties, and
viii soon be prepared 10 supply our farmers
and others wishing to procure the churn.

RadnOr Plank Road Company is to be held

for the purpose Of considering the propriety Of
further improvement Of the road. This Is a
matter Of great importance to the town and
citizens Of the western part Of the county
Though not as good as it might be. or as the
company hope to make it. the utility OF the
improvement has been fully demonstrated du-
ring the late open Bibter-that portion Of it
which is improved being by all odds the best
road leading to our town, and indeed at times
the only ore upon which load could be
drawn. The use of plank has proved fail

the road now improved has been graveIled.-
1t is proposed further to improve the portion
already graveled and gravel or stone the bal

On Tuesday a boy named MERIT DowNER
a resident of this place, and man calling
himself GEoRGE GRANT, said to be from Cres-
line, who had been lounging about town for
several weeks, were arrested on the chlrg of
altering the small change tickets issueI by our
County TreasureF-the changes being made
by extracting the figure one from ten cert
check and placing in its stead a FIVE. thus
changing the denomination from ten to fifty
cents also by cutting apart a five and ten
cent check, taking the figure one from the lat
ter, and by uniting the parts making a fifty
cent check. We are not informed to what ex-
tent these alterations were effected, though we
imagine that the amount is not very large, as
the parties engaged in it had no means Of Sc
curing any considerable qnautity without ex-
citing suspicion. The father of young Downer
was also included in the charge and an effort was
made to arrest him, but he succee ded in ellu.
