The farmers in Mr.. Benton's neigh
borhood, on Lime Greek, three miles
northwest of Mason City are moving
for the erection Of another cheese fac
tory, to be ready for operations as
soon as the spring opens. They are
enterprising men, and have the means.
We understand factories are going
up in other neighborhoods. Cerro
Gordo has already acquired . repu.
tation for cheesemaking, and The
county which intends to out-doa her
must be vigilant aud active. The
quality is fully equal to the celebrated
Hamburg. Palmeter's Cerro Gordo
Cheese, :" is quoted in the eastern Iowa
markets, and spoken of by many OF
our exchanges in the highest terms.
1t is in great demand, and brings the
highest price in market.
The census returns Of 1865 show
the whole number Of pounds of cheese
manufactured in Cerro Gordo county.

A correspondent Of the Western
Rural gives the following as tn. pro-
cess by which he makes butter which
sells at SOC per b., while an ordinary
article was bringing only 80 to 35c
The butter is taken from the churn,
and placed in . wooden vessel and
worked over with a soft piece Of cot
ton or linen cloth, frequently wiring
ing it out with cold water as it be-
comes saturated with buttermilk, keep
ing the hands out Of the butter as
much as possible, until every drop Of
liquid is taken from it. Straining the
cream is injurious and consequently
it should be kept free from all par.
ticlcs ofdirt, ETC.. which require it to
be strained. Hence the necessity OF
the most scrnpulous cleanliness of all
vessels, &c, with which milk, cream
and butter come in contract.

Ths United states Supreme Court.

Wendell Philips, the most saga
cious Of men now wiring for the pub
lie press unless it be Theodore Tilton,
expresses his mind very clearly and
powerfully touching the monstrous
nsurpations of the Supreme Court of
the United States. In the last num-
Der Of The Ant; lSlavery Standard, he
truthfnlly and liglteously says:
fpresent appearances may be trust
ed that Court, like the President, is
henceforth to stand an insurmounta-
bic obstacle, as at present constituted,
to any efficient and safe recnnstruc-
ton. Thanks to the Dred Scott and
other decisions, the Bench has long
ago lost the sympathy and respect
Of the masses. Gen. Jackson could
not lift Taney to the Bench he could
drag the Bench down to Taney.
There are men whom it is impossible
to make respectable, since they have
no element to win respect. There il
no institution so venerable that the
touch of vile men will not defle and
degrade it. Ten years ago, the final
cause Of such a creature as Taney
vas inexplicable. To-day, the mys-
terry is solved. No element less re-
pulsive and discreditable than his
character would have sufficed to utter
ly bankrupt such a power as that
Court, which, in its pristine vigor-
serving tyranny with decorum--might
have overawed and misled the people
in this crisis.
1t will need but little effort to show
the people the true course to be taken
in the emergency. The nation must
be saved, no matter what or how ven-
cradle the foe whose existence goes
down before that necessity. The idea
Of such court. aloof from all political
ambition, far above all party spirit,
unimpassioned as justice was a grand
conception. Such court would have
been an invaluable element in our sys-
TEN. Until within some twenty years.
the masses have regarded it as Z
Bench basing its decisions on definite,
unvarying and easily understood prin-
ciples. Oflate it is seen to be what
it is, a mere appendage to party. Ap-
pointed for life, its judges must, Of
course. often find themselves appur-
tenant, by their prejudices and associ-
ations. to defeated party. Such is
their present position; and like all
fragments and elements Of the old dis
loyal Democratic party. its fate is GER
tain. The moment there arises in the
Republican ranks q man bold enough
TO strike, the people will applaud the
blow. There will be the same outcry
and the same resistance from the same
quarters, as there was when anti-slav-
cry first demanded that the nation
should mould its form or its spirit.
The outcrv and resistance will be just
as vain in this case as in that. The
instincts Of the masses. the consciences
Of just men, the spirit Of the age, and
Gods law, all demand that the inspir-
alton and corner stone ofthis Govern
ment shall be justice. The Constitu-
tion, with its time honored compromises
held up by the strongest Of parties,
was dust in the balance against such
q current This court will prove the
same. The dry rot Of its political SUBJ
servience has made it an empty form.

THE VILLAGE PEDAGOGUE.

In yonder valley, in whose bosom rest.
Throughout al seasons, many . fetid pool,
Where croaking frogs and slimy snakes in fest,
There s God, remote aud lone, the village
school:
BY art deserted and by nature cursed,
OF all the spots the foulest and the worst.
Unfit for any human dwelling place.
But good enough to drill the rising race.
Here, where the fathers, in the days Of yore,
Imbibed, with youths reluctance, all their lore,
Their children came, in the same fouutain dip

By the same psdasosus were taught and whip

Conceived himself the only guide for youth
That all the village boasted. He began
In the same year the teacher and the msa,
And for term Of fifty years, or more,
He drilled the ehildern Of the rich and poor.
For fifty years. with zeal that ne'er did tire,
He taught the young idea how to fire;
And, rs eash generation round him grew,
Beat in their heads the little s'er they knew.
His views Of government, though not his own,
We're based on fsrce and fear, and these alone !:
Kindness in discipline was out OF season,
And quite absurd were all appeals to reason.
Children by nature were depraved and idle,
And needed, like horse, a whip and bride.
Sometimes they went too fast, sometimes too
slow,
Sometimes refused sin gle step to 20:
And what effect has kindness in such cases,
when children kick and play, and break their
traces,
Kindness, fo.sooth. one might as we'll attempt
To calm vhiflwind with an argument,
To tame . hungry tiger with kiss,
A. look TO kindness in . case like this!

arrived at Aqua creek ut o'clock this morn.
ing ring was pitched On the hill near the
river About three thousand persons were in
side the amphitheatre. The conduct of the
party on the boat was outrageous, entering
state-rooms by violence, thieving and robbing
generally. William McMullen was chosen re-.
fierce. The fight Of sixty seven rounds lasted
ono hour and fifty.fve minutes. Collyer
fought in the most desperate manner, but IA.

game. Collyer came up boldly until time was
called for the sixty eighth round, when his

hereafter only be removed by court.martial or
act Of Congress. This is the decision Of the
Cabinet, Secretary Stanton alone dissenting
by silence.
1t is probable the resignation Of the dis
trict commanders, under these reversals and
restraints, was discussed. Such action was
apprehended and deplored. The point was
made, however, that these district command.
ers were soldiers on dnty, and that however
unpleasant the duty is, they cannot abandon
their posts.

excitement on Sunday last by the discovery
that the Rev. 8. A. Merrill, the late pastor OF
the Methodist church at that place. had
eiored with a beautiful and interesting young
lady named Houghton, leaving a wife and nine
children. 1t seems that both parties he'd been
absent from the village since Wednesday last
but rs the Young lady had told her paren Is
that she was going TO visit friend in the
neighborhood, and Mr. Merrill had lately been
appointed to another charge, rendering his
absence from home necessary a considerable
portion Of the time, no suspicious were
aroused until Sunday, when the failure of
with the remembrance that there had been
some former scandal In relation to them, sug-
gested that there must be something wrong.
Accordingly. on Monday morning the friends
that on Wednesday night last Mr.. Merrill had
put up at the Troy House, registering his
name as s; A. Merritt, of New York, and
that on Thursday night he had stop
pears that the young lady did not reach Troy
until Friday, tarryiug here only for q short
time, and leaving for the West on the same
day. During Thursday MIR. Merrill made one
or TWO attempts to borrow money, but was re-
fused thirty dollars being the sum that he
desired. Whether he finally succeeded in
raising the wind" we did not learn, but a
report received from Utica yesterday states
that he had stopped in that city, and was
again trying to borrow money. He procured
ticket on the Central railroad from a con-
ducter on the Troy and Boston road, with
whom he was acquainted, telling him that he
did not know whether he would 60 TO Utica or
farther west, and would pay for ii when he re-
turned. The brother and brother law of

age, and, in addition 10 being one of the most
beautiful and accomplished young ladies of
North Adams, is most respectfully connected.
Mr. Merrill is well known throughout the
Troy Conference as preacher of remarkable
eloqnence and power, and has occupied some
Of the most important stations within its
limits.
