THE MILITARY COMMISSION ON THE Con-
srIRACY CAsEs.-Not a man Of them sat on
my trial with an unbiased and unpreju-
diced mind. Before q word of evidence
was heard, my case was prejudged, and l
was already condemned on the strength OF
wild rumor and misrepresentation. The
Witnesses perjured themselves, and while l
was sitting there in that dock, listening to
their monstrous falsehoods, / felt ashamed
of my species, and lost faith forever in all
mankind. That men could stand up in that
court and take an oath before Heaven to
tell the truth, and the next moment set
themselves to work to swear away, by down
right perjury, the life Of felloW-man, was
thing that !, in my innocence Of the world,
never thought possible. Mudd.

A Big RAILROAD AUGMENTATION that
the lease of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and
Dayton railroad by the Erie is not likely to
be carried into effect, there is q strong pro-
liability that Erie, with its usual push, will

arrived here yesterday from the East to
look up route, with power to throw
thousand laborers in the field by the middle
of April.
Il has been stated in New York that
Gould had declared his purpose Of having
a road between Cincinnati and Dayton in

MANUFACTURE OF BUTTER.-In winter
the dairyman has many difficulties to en-
counter to make the first quality of butter,
because many plants and grasses which
make good butter when fed green make un-
desirable butter when fed dry. There is in
this respect much difference in COWS, but it
is an undoubted fact that food gives the
color and other things being equal, the
better the food the better the color. Carrots
are excellent winter feed for COWS, and pro-
duce butter of good favor and color, and
every farmer who keeps q dairy should
raise liberal supply of these roots for win
ter feeding.
But "the butter has COME" IS it is said,
and the next step is to work (salt and pre-
pare) it for the table or market. To get
out all the buttermilk and curd is absolutely
essential if you would have butter of first
quality. If these substances are left in,
they will form an acid which will pervade
tic whole mass, and it will first become
sour, then rancid. Many modes are prac-
tised by butter-makers to get out these in
gradients common one is to wash it in
pure cold water, or to give it several drench-
ipgs with water as it is worked over. This
method is not to be recommended, as the
water has tendency to absorb and carry
off much Of the nice, delicate flavor or
aroma Of the butter, which should remain.
Others work it, roll and knead it, with the
hand, turning off the buttermilk as it accu-
mulates; but this method is Objectionable
The hand should never touch the butter
after it leaves the churn, as it tends to soft
en- it, and is not effectual in accomplishing
it's object of releasing the milk.
The best method Of getting out the but
termilk and at the same time working in
the salt is by the use Of the butter-worker,
which is q marble or hard wood top table
Of circular form, with groove around the
edges to carry off the milk, whey, and
| curd, ard slightly inclined. The butter is
| placed on this table, and then worked by 8
| cylindrical brake turning on o spiral joint
which fattens out the butter into thin
moss, thoroughly incorporating the salt
and leaving the butter dry and in prope,
condition for the ball or tub. By the USE
of this instrument hundred pounds COL
be worked in IN hour.
| I should recommend mixture Of sal
and saltpetre to preserve butter. TIL
quantity per pound varies with the market
and the time it is to be kept; but common
rule is an ounce to the pound. Butter car
be kept without the use of salt. On tn
continent of Europe it is rarely sailed, AM
I think never in Italy. 1t is preserved
fresh by putting it in large, mouthed jars
putting in O little water, corking tight, an
setting away with the neck of the jar down
Some put in brandy instead of water. TIL
success of the method consists in eifectuall.
secluding the air. AS butter takes it's ha7o
from the food of the COW, it is often foun'
that cabbage and turnips give their taste t
it. This result can be obviated by feeding
these products after milking, and the tlsvo
will pass from the system, or be modife'
before new milk is formed.-Hearh an

YELLOW FEvER-CONTAGIoN-1NPEC-
T1oN.-Dr. Mudd, who had much expert
ence at the Dry Tortugas, says:
"I found that the disease does not gene
rate the poison which gives rise to the
plague. The difference between contagion
and infection which have discovered is
that one generates the poison from which
the fever springs, and the other does not.
Contagion, such as smallpox, measles, &C.,
generates the poison which spreads the
complaint of yellow fever, typhoid fever,
and other such infectious diseases. 1t re-
ouires contact with the poison, and not with
the disease, to infect person, and If thou
sand cases of fever were removed from the
place of the disease no danger whatever
need be apprehended."

GOWN, Chickamauga county, Tenn, writes
that the sandy soils thereabouss are infested
with sassafras sprouts and "saw-briers,"
which are very hard to kill, and asks how
to destroy them. The only way is to keep
the ground fallow one year, blowing
aud narrowing it SO often that neither has
any chance to breathe. Ii thoroughly done,
one season will fnish the sassefras, accord
lug to our experience, and we presume the
brIer would 60 too.-Agricu!turist.
