DEATH or Hon. Henry WINTER
DAvIs.-A brief paragraph in the
telcgraphie dispatches tells us that
this gentleman has died Of pneumo-
mia, at Baltimore, Maryland. Win
ter Davis has been for some years II
prominent member of the House Of
Representatives. He first appear
ed in politics as a Know Nothing,
and after the death of that party he
became a Republican. 1t will be
remembered that when the xxx
With Congress assembled in so a
famous contest Cor the Speakership
took place in which the Americans
and the Democrats combined TO de-
feat the Republicans. After eight
weeks spent in balloting for various
candidates, Mr.. Davis went from
the Americans TO the Republicans
and elected Gov. Pennington, of
New Jersey, Speaker. Mr.. Davis
was the author Of the joint resolu-
ton offered during the following
session and unanimously passed,
having for its object the execution
of the fugitive slave law.
He was defeated as n candidate
Just prior to the extra session OF
fG1, by Henry May, who received
the support Of all secessionists. Up-
on his election, Mr.. Davis became
intensely radical, and has always
belonged to the "Chase wing" Of
that party.
He was a man Of strong feelings,
going TO the extreme side Of any
party that he cspoused.-BullefiH.

CONSUMPTION OF WHIsKEY.-It appears
By official report that the amount of whiskey
consumed annually for drinking purposes, is
estimated as averaging gallon aud half
per head to the whole population of the
United States. Large as this may appear,
it is shown that the consumption in Canada
and the other British provinces reaches over
gallon and a quarter per head, while in
Russia 1t averages no less than two gallons
to each man, woman and child of the popula-
ton. In Great Britain, where the common
people do not, in general, drink spirits, the
amount consumed annually varies from eight,
tenths to a gallon per capita. But in that
country beer is the more universal ponular
beverage, and no less than $4,000 900 bar.
rels of ale and beer are consumed every wear.
whereas not more than 100000 or 5000.
600 barrels are produced in the United
States.

Making.

Cuthbert W. johnson writes to the Mark
Lane Etpress that he was sometime since
Obliged 10 a North Devon farmers wife for
the following account of their dairy manages
ment: -r-
Cows are MIXED twice day, morning and
evening, and the milk strained into the
milk-pans, which are generally made of tin,
aud should not be too deep, or the milk will
quickly COOL Early the next morning, (ss
soon as the fire has attained a sufficient
heat,) the milk is placed on the stove or
steam apparatus, to be scalded, beginning
with the previous mornings milk until all is
scalded. There should be from ten to ff.
teen pints in pan, and, with proper heat,
it will take from twenty minutes to half an
hour to scald. When it is sufficiently scald
ed you will see the cream look rough, and
ring or mark will appear on the surface
just the size Of the bottom Of the pan. After
scalding, the milk is placed in the dairy to
cool; and on the following morning the
cream is taken up from each pan with a
skinner, and placed in large basin, where
it remains until it is removed into the tub,
to be made into butter In the summer
butter must De made every day; in the win
ter three times week will be sufficient.
When you make butter you must pour of
any clear or thick cream there may be in the
bottom of the basin, and put the thick cream
into your butler tub stir it with your hand,
or with a stick, round the tub, all oue way,
until it becomes a very thick substance; con-
tinue turning it until you see milk coming
from it, then pour off the butteruilk aud
wash well the butter with cold spring water
until there is no milk left in it, and the wal
teris quite clear; then add little fine salt to
make it proper saltness, wash it again, and
continue working it with the hand or stick,
as may be, until you cannot get drop of wa
ter from it then weigh the butter and make
it up into pounds. If this plan is strictly
followed your butter cannot fail to be excel
lent In very hot weather the mornings
meal of milk must be scalded in the after
noon, and the evenings meal early the fol.
lowing morning, to keep it sweet The
stick used in our dairy, and which is prefer
able In every respect to the hand, is formed
like small spud, with the handle about
twelve inches long. When the red. earthen-
ware pans are used for the milk, it takes
nearl y an hour to scald each pan. We con-
slider tin pans preferable, for two reason-first
economy of time in the dairy work second,
the milk in hot weather is less likely to turn
sour when quickly scalded. Country Gem

BITING CotTs IN BREAKING.-Rarey is
universally acknowledged as master of the
az. CT hOrse,tyaining, and suggestions from
his experience are worth considering. Speak
lug OF the common method of biting colts
he says: Farmers and horse breakers often
put biting harness on a colt the first thing
they do to him, buckling up the biting as
tight as they can draw it, make him carry his
head high, and then turn him out in lot to
run half day at time This is one Of the
worst punishments they could inhict on a
colt, and very injurious to young horse that
has been running in pasture with his head
down. \ horse should be well accustomed
to the bit before the biting harness is put
on; and when he is ftst bitted be should on
ly be refined up to where he holds his head,
let it be high or low; he will learn that he
cannot lower his head, and that raising it a
little will loosen the bit in ais mouth. This
will give him the idea of raising his head to
loosen his bit, and then you can draw the bit
a little tighter every time you put it on, and
he will raise his head to loosen it. By this
means you can gradually get his head and
neck in the position you wish him to carry it,
and give him graceful carriage without
hurting him, making him angry or causing
his mouth to be sore.

AFTER ALL.
The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.

The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandsirs
Sits, pale, in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind of twilight
Plays with bis silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him
A fair young form is pressed,
In the frat wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance,
The faltering echoes come,
OF the flying blast of trumpet
And the rattling roll Of drum.
Then the grandsire speaks in whisper
1.-THE end no man can see;
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to thee
The violets star the meadows,
The rose-buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink white blossoms pour;
But the grandsire's chair is empty,
The cottage is dark and still;
There's nameless grave on the battlefield
And a new oae under the hill
And pallid fearless woman
By the cold hearth sits clone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steady drone.

ATTENTION TO BUTTER.-Are our friends
aware what the difference is between bad
and good butter in price? Consult any table
of markets, and it will be found to be more
than half. 1t is third in what is consider,
ed fair or good butter. When prime butter
Is thirty cents, good will bring twenty to
twenty-five cents-such as is made by our
farmers. The same milk makes the same
AMOUNT of butter. 1t is then in the making
where the difference lies. Now, will we not
take little more care By it we gain a
third; and during the year what does that
amount to! An important sum, where but
few COWS are kept and something where but
one cow is kept, say from ten to fifteen dol>
lars. 1t will thus be seen how negligent we
are. In the East this thing has long ago
been seen, and is remedied there aro excep,
tions to be sure; but in the older districts
the thing is attended to.

Of Arkansas, was once travelling on horse
back, through the interior of the State, and
called one evening to stay all night, at a lih
tie log house near the road where entertain.
ment and post.ofice were kept Two othef
strangers were there. and the mail rider rode
up about dark. Supper being over, the mail
carrier and the three gentleman were invited
into a small room furnished with good Gre
and two beds, which were to accomodate the
four persons for the night.
The mail carrier was little, shabby,
dirty looking wretch, with whom none of the
gentlemen liked the idea of sleeping. Pete
Milestone eyed him closely, as he asked.
"Where do you sleep tonight my lad 2"
"Pll thleep with you, l reckon" " lisped the
youth, cor one o. them other fellers, 1 don't
care which"
The other two gentlemen took the hint
and occupied one of the beds together immeI
diately, leaving the other bed and the con,
fab to be enjoyed by Pete and the mail boy
together as best they could. Pete and the
boy commenced hauling of their duds, and
Pete getting in the bed first, and wishing to
get rid of sleeping with the boy, remarked,
very earnestly.
"My friend I'll tell you beforehand, I've
got the itch, and you had better not get in
here with me, for the disease is catching"
The boy, who was just getting in bed too,
drawled out, very coolly
"Wol, reckon that don't make bit O.
diHerence-Ive had it nearly thethe theven
years" and into bed be pitched. along with
Pete, who pitched out in great hurry as if
be had walked up hornets nest in bed
The other gentlemen roared, and the mails
boy, who had got peaceful possession of the
bed to himself, drawled out, "why, you muth
be thet of darned fules; mann and dads
got the catch heap wurtb than this, and
they thlep in that bed lath night when they
wath here at quiltin'."
The other two strangers werA now in
worse predicament than Pete had been, and
bounced from their nest like the house had
been on fire, stripped and shook their clothes,
put them on again, ordered their horses, and,
though it was nearly ten o'clock, they ali
three left, and rode several miles to the next
town before they slept, leaving the impertur,
bable mail carrier to the bliss of searching
and sleeping alone.

A SAD story was whispered in Paris not
long ago. NJ. Moller, a Danish poet, who
had lived for the last fifteen is years in Paris,
died suddenly at Rouen. He was poor; he
had ruined his eyes reading BY gas>lights of
the cafes, and writing in his chamber by eau
dle'light, and wes ordered to Normandy 10
rest and to breathe the country air. He was
arrested in Rouen as a alunatic, and sent to
mad'house, where be died in two or three
days, 1t is believed here, as much from loss
OF liberty as from any thing else.

INFLUENCE or SOCIAL Position ON LIFE.
1t is said uroverbially that poverty favors
longevity, because the poor are not subject
to the bad consequences of. luxury and
wealth. Dr. Major shows the folly of the
popular dictum. 1t has been proved by the
researches of Benoiston, D. Chataneuf, De
Vilerme, Casper and others, that the value
of life is less among the impoverished than
the rich. Thus, of an equal number of in
fants of the same age double the number
will die of the poorer than of the wealthier
class. Where there is the greatest misery,
there is the greatest mortality. According
to Caspers the mean duration of life among
the better classes of Berlin in 30 years but
among the paupers, 80 years only. The
same writer compares the death rate of no.
Bile houses given in the Almdndch De Gotta
with the INDECENT Of Berlin, and he shows
that Of 1000 infants among the former, 81
die in the first five years; but of the same
number among the latter, 34j. Whilst half
Of the poor have only attained the 32d year
Of life, half Of the noble have attained the
sd. During epidemics the poor are in an
especial manner decimated. That simple
well being prolongs life is demonstrated By
the low rate Of mortality among persons who
"assure" their life at the assurance Offices
A fifth or sixth part Of the negro sla7es die
annually. But the mortality among the
free negroes who serve in the English color
ed regiments is only per cent, that Of the
slaves being II per cent. The learned pro.
fessions, followed by persons of easy means,
have an incontestable influence upon the du-
ration of life. Thus, the mean age of 50
French literary men was 60 years. Physi-
clans, according to Dir. Escherich, cannot
hope for long life. At all periods of age
they succumb in larger numbers than other
professions. But the greatest mortality Is
during the early periods. Three-fourths die
before 80 years of age, and ten-elevenths,
before 60. Old men are rare among them.
