butter. IN the Summer butter must be
made every day; in the winter three
times week is sufficient.
When you make your butter you
must pour off any clear or thin cream
there may be in the bottom Of the basin,
and then put the thick cream into your
butter tub; stir it with your hand or
with stick round the tub, all one way,
until it becomes very thick substnnce;

then add little fine salt to make II .
proper saltness, wash it again and con-

dairy, and which is preferable in every
respect to the hand, is formed like a

BH- The American Russian alliance is
creating considerable sensation among the
different European nations, but more par
ticularly in England and France. These
two latter powers conceive, and with per-
feet right too, that such an alliance is det-
nmental to their interests, and calculated
to cut them off entirely from any participa-
tien in the division. Of Turkey, should that
Government be broken up, an event that
is looked for with longing eyes by all O
Europe. A very liberal and princely Of
fer has been made to the Sultan ofTurkey
by the United States, for the cession of a
part of the Island of Milas, and France
has already, through her minister at Con-
stantinople, made known her decided dis
approval OF the movement, while England
has been equally emphatic an her objec
tons. Russia, on the contrary, is using
every effort to induce the Sultan to ac
cede to the wishes of the United States,
from the fact that she will secure this lat
ter Government as an ally, who will, as all
good friends should do, keep outsiders
aloof, while the Gar walks in and takes
possession Of the Sublime Porte. This is
the programme arranged by those who
write from St. Petersburg, and who pre-
tend to know something of the Car Alex
ander's plaEs.

This body adjourned over on the Both
ult., until the Sd Monday in January next,
to await the action of Congress. Wegive
a synopsis Of three Of the most important
acts passed and approved by the Gov
ernor.
The first is an act amcndatory to an act
to establish County Courts and for other
purposes, and changes the organization of
the court by making the person holding
the Office OF Probate Judge, for the time
being, the sole presiding judge of the coun-
ty court, dispensing with the associate JUS
tees. The county attorney, under the
provisions of this act is to be elected by
the Board Of Police. The court is held
every three months. The crime of petit
larceny is limited to twenty-five dollars ;
where the amount stolen exceeds this sum,
it is felony, and deemed to be grand lar
ceny, the penitentiary being the penalty.
An act to amend an act creating fund
for the relief of the disabled Confederate
aud State soldiers and INDECENT families
Under the provisions Of this act, the sun
of 100000 has been raised and is now il
the hands Of the Treasurer. But it could
not be distributed to the beneficiaries un
til report from the several counties was
made to the Auditor, and that report wai
required to be made by the first of March
1866. Consequently, the reports, not be
ing made, the fund could not be distribu
ted. This act gives until the third Mon
day in December, 1866, for the reports t.
be made, and upon their receipt the Audi
tor will issue his warrant in favor of tn,
several counties.
An act revising an act for the sale o
judgments for costs has beck passed.
This authorizes the officers Of court tt
move the court for an order to sell thu
judgment for costs. The object of Thu
law is to clear the dockets of many OLE
and stale judgments.
Two important relief laws, one allowing
| appeals to the High Court without bono
except for costs, and the other altering thu
practice in Chancery Courts, we under
stand have been approved.
An act to regulate final process OF
judgments and DEGREES in certain cases,
was vetoed by the Governor.

CRcuTr CoURT.-The November Term
of our Circuit Court has been in session
since last Monday-Judge Smiley presi-
ding, ]. B. Patton, District Attorney, A.
G. Audrey Clerk and NJ. N. Phares Sher-
i'll.
No business ofespccial interest has been
disposed Of by the Court, with the excep-
ton ola suit for damages against the West
Feliciana Rail Road Company, in which
Mr. M. NJ Phares was plaintiff. Mr.. Pha
res had valuable slave hired to the Com.
pany in 1861 who was killed that year
while upon the cars. The case was ably
argued BY Messrs. SimraIl & Van Eaton
for plaintiff and Messr. Gordon & Barber
upon the part Of the defence. The. jury
brought in verdict against the Rail Road
for $500 damages.
There is quite an amount of business TO
be done. It is doubtful whether the Court
will be able to get through the civil Dock
ct next week. There are but few cases
upon the Criminal Docket to be disposed
Of.

RAILROAD Acc1DENT-The Memphis
Bulletin gives an account of dreadful ac-
cident which occurred on the Memphis

from huntsville 1t seems that the rear
trucks Of the express car broke while cross
ing trestle-work, and the broken trucks
caught in the bridge, throwing three of
the cars in the rear of the baggage car in
to the stream below, distance of twenty
five feet. The wreck is described as
frightful, and it is miracle that none of
the passengers were killed. About forty
were wounded, more or less, two thought
to be beyond recovery. Gems. Beaurs-
gard and Forrest were in one of the cars
precipitated down the embankment, but
fortunately escaped without injury. The
wife of Gen. Forrest lost all of her cloth
ing and quite valuable collection of jew
elry.
