terested in knowing how to protect HIM
self against the disagreeable spoilers,

have applied to their bushes, with en-

HIGHGATE.-We learn that Mr..

building upon which he was at work,
injuring him very severely, and, as we
before said, probably fatally.

therefrom. The family are all now out

Butter Making.

Those who consume butter have a very
lively interest in the mode of its manufacture,
it being quite desirable that the best mode
should be adopted, and those who make it are
doubly intereste1 for they not only sell and
desire the largest price, but also eat it as well
as others. 1t would seem from the great
variety brought to market that butter makers
have great diversity of notions about its man
ufacture and adopt different modes and prac-
tices. But there are more wrong than right
ways, at least it would seem so from the sam
pies we see in our markets. No doubt the
right way is a very simple one if it were only
understood. There is no need of making so
many blunders in this department of farm
business.
A correspondent of the st. Adams (Vt)
Messenger gives the public his mode of man
ufacturing butter. st. Albans is considered
the headquarters of butter manufacture and
any information coming from that vicinity is
entitled to consideration. He says:

FIRE AT THE WATER WoRKs-Yes-
terday afternoon we visited the Water
Works to witness the operation of put
ting ont the fire that has been burning
in the cfnder bank for a year past.
This bank is the accumulation of Gin
ders and ashes extending through
many years. So unpleasant had be-
come the fumes arising from the burn
ing heap that those residing in the
neighborhood had complained FREE
quently and loudly. Our efficient
Superintendent of Water Works deter
mined to put an efectual estoppel both
to the fire and the complaints, and to
accomplish his object a fire plug was
opened on the street above and the
water conveyed to the burning mass in
q ditch dug for the purpose. All day
long a young food OF water was poured
upon 1t, and at dark last night, al
though very considerable impression
had been made on the heap. still the
work was not completed. 1t is pro-
posed to continue this hydraulic treat
ment to-day, and 1t is believed the
cause of complaint will be edectually
removed by this evening.
While up there we looked through
the interior of the building where the
engines and pumps are located. We
found everything scrupulously neat
and clean. We have gone through
establishments OF the same character
elsewhere that were larger and more
fitted up, but we have
never seen any one kept in better order,
