Two young ladies in their visits among
the absentees of their Sunday-school class
had to call at a shoemakers. 1t was on
Monday afternoon, and sad scene present.
ed itself The poor wife and children stood
almost heart broken. The man had just re-
turned from the public-house, where he had
been drinking with his companions ever
since the Saturday night. Ills money was
now all gone, his head aching, and con-
science tormenting him. The young ladies'
kindly demonstrated with him, and at last
he said he knew he was doing wrong One
of the ladies then advised him to sign the
temperance pledge. He replied, ~ a0iU If
you aOiH."
Now, neither of the Sunday-school teach
ers expected to have this said to them
They were in the habit of taking a little
wine occasionally. They, however, reflect
ed that il this poor drunkard should be res
cued, by Gods blessing, through their ex-
ample, it would more than repay them for
the loss Of wine. One of them said, u
will sign, Mr.. g., for your sake" "And
was procured, and the names were duly
entered.

pass Sunday in the place. felt anxious

to the pledge, and wended my way to the
once miserable dwelling. What change
The room was we'll furnished, and every
thing bore the marks of comfort. The

not only regularly attended the Sunday

In water. After the cream is skinned off,
it is poured into large barrel churn which
is made TO rotate upon an axle until the
cream is converted into butter
This churn will hold about three barrels Of
cream, hundred and fifteen pounds OF but
ter often being made at one churning.
The rotary motion of the churn is caused
by horse power, one horse being all that is
required, the one in use upon the occasion
of our visit seemed TO understand his busi-
ness and to know when to walk fast and
when slow to give the cream the motion re-
quired to make IL gather.
The facility with which butter is made Is
owing in great measure to tho condition
the cream is in, and when in good condition
and the weather favorable, butter will gath
er in from twenty minutes to half an hour.
After the butter is gathered, a spiggot is ta-
ken from the churn and the buttermilk
drainel off from the butter. after which it Is
taken out in large balls and put in vessel.
To our great surprise we found no ma
chinery used In working the butter, and
upon inquiry, we were informed by Mr.. Gar
dener's daughter, that she preferred work.

chinery she had seen, and indeed, judging
from the energy and vigor displayed by this
young lady in working butter, machinery
would be useless. After the butter is taken
from the churn and removed into the spring.
house, it is taken about ten pounds at a
time and laid upon long, clean table, where
it is pummelled and rolled and beat with the
hand until all the milk is worked out. and
what little is yet remaining is dried up by
clean, white cloth, when it is again spread
out and salted, after which it is packed away
in a vessel for couple of days and again
taken out and made to undergo another op-
Grafton similar to the first, when it is weigh
ed into half pounds, printed and is ready for
market.
Upon inquiry we were informed that this
dairy during the lost eight months up to the
1st of November turned out 1928 pounds of
butter, and we were afterwards informed by
Mr.. Beck that The other dairy produced an
equal number of pounds, which would make
total of 1856 pounds of butter marketed
in eight months from Messrs. Colbourn 81
Beck's dairys. Besides the profits realized
from the sale of butter, the refuse milk an
nually raises from 25 to 80 head of young
calves and about 80 hogs.
Messrs. Colbourn S Beck intend in short
time to visit Holland for the purpose of
purchasing lot of HolsteIn cattle and other
improved stock with which to stock their
farms. There are other dairy farms about
Delaware City which deserve a no less fa-
vorable notice than the one we have imper
fectly described. RAMBLER.

FRUIT CULTURE IN NEW JERsEY.-From
the Introductory remarks in the "Record'.
of the eleventh annual exhibition of the
New Jersey Agricultural Society, we clip
the following:-
The popular opinion that apples have run
out in New Jersey, was triumphuntly refuted
by the display made at the late exhibition
the exhibitors on this occasion being more
numerous, and the fruit being of far better
quality, than at any previous State fair, or
any agricultural fair held during the present
season. At former fairs the display of ap-
Piles has been principally by nurserymen,
who wished to advertise their trees-and
this has been the case likewise in other
States-but here the tables were filled by
persons who grew their fruit for home use,
or for the market. Throughout the fruit
was of the finest quality. The old varie-
ties of apples may have proved unsuited to
our soil and climate, but new ones that have
taken their places, flourish now, AID give
good promIsr for the future. 1t is a fact,
moreover, that apple culture Is ROW more
profitable than ever
The exhitiiiun at pears was also very
fine 1t is evident that pear culture will
pay in New Jersey for the capital invested,
just as soon as farmers will consult their
own interests, and the leading varieties that
are in market, instead OF the nurserymen's
catalogue.

Barn burned in Chester County.
A WHOLE YEARS CROPS DESTROYED.

On Thanksgiving day (1SLh inst.) the large barn
on the property OF the heirs of Squire Waugh,
near Kimblevle, in franklin twp, Chester Co.,
was burned to the ground. The men of the place
were engaged in threshing at the time and the
straw about the machine caught fire from heat
ed journal, and the flames spread with sneh rap
Idly that there was no possibility of saving the
building =,
During the progress of the fire the dwelling
house on the property caught fire twice and 1t
was saved with great difficulty and exertion.
The barn was a large building, and contained
all the hay, grain, and other crops raised this
year, on u large farm together with quantity ol
valuable farm implements and machinery. The
loss must of course be very heavy, though VIZ
have not heard it estimated in figures. The place
was occupied by the Misses Waugh.

Olive LoRan,s LECTURE.

Few lecturers have ever been honored by q
larger or more appreciatiye audience In Whining
ton than that which assembled in Institute Hall
Fridayevening to hear Miss Olive Logan talk about
"Girls." 1t Is subject we are all more or less
familiar with and accustomed to hear talked
about, but we doubt If we often hear the "dear
creatures" discoursed upon more pleasantly, kind
Iva nd sensibly than on last evening. The "Grand
Army" under whose auspices the lectures are
deserve credit not merely for giving the commu-
nifty such treat, but for the excellent arrange
ments they had made Tor the comfort of the au-
dlence and lecturer.
Miss Logan was introduced by Mayor Valen-
tine. and was OF course, as usual, dressed with
elegance and taste.
An amusing commentary on little girls forms
the prelude to graphic sketches of the fashiona-
ne girl, the beautiful girl, the womany girl, the
Yankee girl, the Western girl, and the strong
minded girl. The fashionable girl who is devo-
ted solely to dress, puzzles and yexes Miss Logan
beyond measure; but the fashionable girl who
has heart, and mind and soul, and reaches out
for something better than thefollies and inanities
Of her daily life. Is the hope of weman's cause.
The beautiful girl Is one whom sensible men like
just as they like strawberries and cream; but let
her remember that this dainty dish Can never
compensate for the lack of the daily bread of
virtue, industry intelligence and wisdom. The
wotnanly girl, In Miss Logan's category, is the
one pctureu Dy utscUnSolutc ulau n5 Tue only
hope OF dark and gloomy future, the one who
shudders at the thought Of female suffrage, and,
by the simple trick of stunning publicity,
makes amends for unlimited ugliness and i'll tenn

the prairie, and Miss Logan exulted In both these
glorious types of American grlhood; but the
strc pg-nnded girl was her especial favOrite.
Sweet and true in private life, she is firm and
selTeliant In public, and believes that the ballot
in woman's hand will set right many things that

HOW THE PEOPLE OF CHESHIRE MADE IT FOR
THOMAS JEFFERSON.


The last number nf Litteit's Livinq age
contains an interesting article of Elihu Bur-
ritts from the Gent, mans Nogdsine, on
the great cheese which the people of Che
shire, Massachusetts, made for Thomas Jef-
ferson. Elder John Leland was great pull
pit politician in those Gays and preached TO
the people of Cheshire such stirring Jeffer
sonian Democracy that for generations they
never voted anything but straight Demo-
cratic ticket. When Jefferson was chosen
President after contest of tremendous ex-
citement, Elder John Leland proposed that
his flock should celebrate the victory by
biggest cheese the world had ever seen. Ev-
cry man and woman who owned COW was
to give for this cheese all the milk yielded
on certain day-only no Federal cow
must contribute drop A huge cider press
was fitted up to make 1t in, and on the ap-
pointed day the whole country turned out
with pals and tubs of curd, the girls and
women in their best gowns and ribbons, and
the men in their Sunday coats and clean
shirt-collars. The cheese was put to press
with prayer, and hymn-snging and great
solemnity. When it was well dried it
weighed 600 pounds, and as it could not
be trusted on wheels, it waited ill mid Win
ter, when it was placed on sleieh and Ell
der John Leland drove with it all the way
to Washington. (Thcre was more snow you
see in those times than there is now.) 1t was
journey of three weeks. All the country
had heard of the big cheese and came out
to look at it as the Elder drove along. When
he got to Washington Mr.. Jefferson received
him iu state, made a speech, and in the
presence of the heads of departments, for
eign ministers and other distinguished per-
sOns, cut the cheese and served some of il
around with bread. Ther he sent wedge
of it home to the makers, and when it ar
rived they also ate it in state. We are fur
ther informed that the cheese was very good.

tFfom The Beaver Radicai.l
After the Isatfle--yNhat Of the Future?

The political struggle of 1869 is in many
respects memorable. With the single excep-
iion of Tennessee, every State that voted for
Grant in the great contest of 6S, has given
verdict in flvor of continued Republican
supremacy. and Tennessee was wrested
from the Rt publican fold only through the
leadership Of such potent Republican mana
gers as senator Brownlow and Gov. Senter.
substantially Ihe political status of the coun-
try is the same as owe year ago, The gener-
al indifference usual. manifested in mere
State contests hns, at course, reduced the
popular vote, anl coruspondingly reduced
the majoritips; i,n the solemn verdict Of
the nation !, again proclaimed against the
long honrd ibr restoration of the Democracy.
With all Ihr wide spread disappointment
resulting from mol r, nsrkably wise distri-
hutton of the pairunage of a new admins
tration, and with Republican leaders con-
fessedly stripped Of political power, the
Democracy cnuld not inspire sufficient vital
itv in its Organization TO win single debai-
able State. However ready and plausible
may be explanations after elections, the peo
plp. the world Al d history can deal only with
The inex.ratle loaic Of simple arithmetic ia
accepting political results, and that logic de-
clares that this nation is profoundly avcrse
