Importance of Dairy Interest.

The dairy interest Of the United
States ~ becoming Of vast import
ance. The present yearly product
Of cheese IL supposed 10 be 300, Co.,
coo pounds, which at 10 cents per
pound, amounts to SO, 900, 600 and
of butter, 81, 900, 600 pounds, which,
90 - cents per pound, amounts 20
Sl25, 100000 with 100 000,00 gal
Ions of milk sold In cities and towns
and G0,oo0,00G gallons consumed in
families whore produced, worth 81
600, 900 making together . dairy
product ct s2lG,150,O05.
But ir we examine this interest in
dotail, we shall be surprised that the
product is SO small. The number OF
cows now Is not loss than 100000
.tho number IN 1860 was 9,72S, SCI J
If we suppose 100000 cows doyot-
"a 10 tho production Of butter, il
would give ll5 pounds per cow and
800 coo COWS devoted to tho pro-
luction Of cheese only 200 pounds
per cow 100000 COWS for the pro-
lNlI3u % mix toHrt tlcN ~ ciltC5
and Ii tho families Of producers !;
leaving 1900, 900 cows in tho western
and southwestern states devoted
simply % rai.ing stock
II will bo seen that the product OF
butter and cheese is not moro than
half what il should be with proper
attention to breeding and feed
ing In proof Of this, we have
only to cite the report OF the First
Collins cheese factory Of Erie county,
N. ", for 1869, when the average
from $50 cows was 429 pounds Of
cheese per COW and from 200 to 300
pounds Of butter is q common yield
for good well fed cows This rem

Greenwood Seminary.

More than fifteen years ago DR.. n. Law
renee Lindsey selected, most happily, the
beautiful site of this furnishing institu-
ton. With him, to purpose was success.
The prosperity of his enterprise demanded
constant enlargement of the buildings, IN
til they are now unsurpassed in their at.
tractive and convenient adaptation to the
uses for which they were designed. Though
the school, the community and the great
brotherhood of genius who people the
republic of letters have suffered ire
parable loss by the death of the distinguish
ed Sdgdnt who founded this celebrated
seminary, yet the visitor, who knew him,
is constrained to feel that his master spirit
is still the presiding genius over the classic
walks of Greenwood.
Under the able and elegant management
of Mrs Lindsey, the institution continues
to flourish She has been fortunate in Sc
curing the very best assistants, and every
department is most efficiently conducted
We note particularly the department of
music, not because it is at all superior to
the others, but because we have recently
enjoyed the great pleasure of hearing the
senior class; and are prepared to vouch for
their thorough training in this "poetry of
sound"
As before suggested, the departments of
general education, usually regarded as of
more practical Importance, are fully as well
and successfully conducted, so that when
a young lady is graduated, and comes forth
from this quiet sylvan retreat, joyous in
pure young life, and buoyant with the
health fostered in its balmy country air,
she is polished after the similitude of a
palace" and fitted to adorn palaces or
brighten any humble station to which duty
or love may lead Lebanon Herald

WASHINGTON, March 30-A bill pro
viding for postofice binding at Little
Rock passed.
Radical Use of the Poor Indian.
Concurrent resolution for the appoint
ment of joint special committee on Indian
affairs was called up BY Mr.. Stewart.
Mr.. Thurman opposed the resolution up
on various grounds, and particularly be-
cause he saw IN the proposition DISPOSE
ton to make t%1r Indian policy subservient
to certain Railroad companies, which
coveted the possession of public domain
He thought he saw in it great land traffic
ing, which would result in the violation
of the existing Indian treaties.
Mr.. Morrill,, stated that he believed there
was no question deserving a more thor
ough scrutiny than those concerning In
dian affairs, and he preferred to have them
reviewed by an Independents committee of
the Senate. He said it frequently happen
ed that bills which had passed the House
were found to be SO worthless, by Commit
ties of the Senate, that any idea Of their
being passed would be preposterous.
Mr.. Corbett spoke of the necessity of
carrying out our treaty stipulations as q
means of preventing Indian wars, and
thought the agency of joint committee
might prove effective to that end
Mr. Drake moved to amend by striking
out the authority of the committee to ex-
anime witnesses and send for persons and
papers, which he said would avoid an ex-
penditure amounting TO not less than $20,

A good deal of excitement was created
in the city yesterday, by the report that
there was a negro woman in house on
Locust street, between Second and Third,
who had snake in her stomach, and a
great many people visited the house. The
negro woman came to Evansville about
six days ago from Owensboro, KY, and
states that she has suffered from the snake
for about six years. At the pit of the
stomach there is o large belt, almost the
size of mans arm, and just where the
bones of the breast are separate, an i'm
preston is seen through the skin that re-
sembles a snakes head The belt which
extends around the body, if touched, pro
duces the most excruciating pain to the
woman, and as tears fall from her eyes,
she cries, 60 Don't make it bite me.
On the touch this belt, or snake, or
whatever it may be contracts, and then
the woman suffers, it would appear, the
pain of death. What this strange thing
is, we do not venture an opinion, but GER
tainly it is remarkable case, and one
that we hope our most learned physicians
viii investigate The theory that snake
can exist in the stomach of human
being Is not a very plausible one; but in
this woman's stomach there is something
unnatural, no doubt. One thing singular
is this: if the woman has plenty of milk,
she experiences no particular pain, but
rests quietly. -EUansUttte, Ind, Courier.
