Late Dairy Markets.

CHEEsE.-Tbere is little to note in tbs
market Transactions have been light
and prices remain about the same. L
there is any change, there is a slight ad
vance. Fine new cheese is worth IA t
15c in New York, and fine old ~ 12 tc
10 1-2c. The receipts for last week were
9,141 boxes, and exports II sos boxes
The cable remains at &C.,, with gold al
112. For the corresponding week last
year, the receipts were 1920 boxes, and
shipments of 1898 boxes. The cable
was 74s., gold was IA 1-2, and the highest
New York quotation was 16 1-2c. From
this time forward last year the cable con-
tinued to drop until it reached 6ls., and
the highest quotation was 14o., while
gold fuctuated from III to 119. The
market is therefore quite as promising as
it was last year at this date.
BUTTER-The market and. prices re-
main about the same, though better
quality of butter is beginning to appear.
The best State does not reach over 2Sc.
in New York, and ordinary is down to
90 to 25c.
CHEEsE.-Lsss dairy cheese was sold
at Little Falls, n. Y, to day than on any
other market day during the season. The
prices ranged about the s,me and we did
not see much vali ttion in quality. Most
of the dairy cheese sold went at 8 to &c.
We are told that some reached lie, but
we could find no one who claimed to have
received over 10ac. The representation
of factory cheese in the afternoon was
quite good, but the market was extreme
ly dull. Holders wanted 13 to 13tc and
buyers did not want to give over 10 to
12ac. We could not learn that much
was sold outright, but considerable was
sent forward on commission-some on a
guarantee of II to 1874. AS we left early
we cannot say positively how high fig
ure was reached, bat we think nothing
went higher than 13o. Possibly one or
two choice lot may have gone fraction
New York market for the week closed a
fraction lower than it opened, and nothing
went higher on Saturday than 13 &c.
BUTTER.-But little butter was offered
and that went generally at 24c.
The st. Adams Messengers of the 10Th
says: 1.-THE butter market Tuesday was
fully active, but we note further de-
cline in prices of &c on all grades. We
quote-Common, lac; medium, 19c !;
good, GAG; Extra, 27c. The market for
cheese is steady at IL to Is 1,2. Ship
ments-butter, 1890 tubs; cheese, none.
At Milton 1O7 tubs OF. butter were sold
at from % to Csc.

SENATORS NYE AND CARPENTER
Nye is one of the handsomest, if not the
handsomest, man in the Senate. He re-
sembles Ben. Franklin reduced to trowsers
md swallow tail. Nye has more intel
lectual power than he gets credit for. and
were he not so indolent, would make
noise in the world ss a leading politician,
II not a statesman. He has a fine sense
of humor, that, at times, approaches to
wit. l heard something's concerning the
Senator, last night, that makes me regret
the few ugly things 1 have said of him.
He is one of the best hearted men in the
world, and has dependent upon him a
tribe of helpless people. l once roomed
in the same house with Senator Nye, and
was struck with the throng of people that
waited on, followed and clung to him.
The larger part of them were old women.
l never before saw such raft, such
levees, such professions of aged females;
and last night / learned that these were
forlorn females possessed of claims, and
stuck to Nye because Nye could not say
them nay. A good generous heart In a
man who has rubbed along through
life as Senator Nye has, is something
10 cherish. But when to this, one adds the
fact that this merry, jesting man lives sur
rounded by skeletons, in house of skel-
etons, and looks the bitterest domestic
troubles in the face all the time, ones
sympathies, are aroused as well as admir-
alton. Senator Nye is very careless about
money matters. Horace Greeley, who is
vet more so, said once that he would
make first class secretary of the treas.
ury, as he could borrow more and pay
less than any man living. The fling was
unkind, and, as have said. very unjust,
for Horace is an "owed to Horace" when
1t comes TO that, having run through sew
ersl fortunes without being able to make
any show for it. But Senator Nye is
open to the imputation. This same man
told me, in illustration, of a gentleman
loaning Nye quite sum, to meet press
ing necessity, and before he could pay it
out the precious notes were all borrowed
from him by some friends sorely pressed,
who never paid. Mr.. Carpenter has been
public disappointment since his return
to the Senate. He came here following q
wide reputation for learning and elo-
quence that he has not justified since.
He has a portly form and massive
head, and resembles cern-fed Webster,
lacking the refinement in appearance that
tempered the look of the awe-inspiripg
expounder of the constitution. l fear
that Senator Carpenter has fallen into
the sinful ways of Washington that spols
the student and puts an end to the en-
bryo statesman.-D0nnP Plat.

Floating Away.
BY MRS, A. E. STANLEY.

I wandered by summer stream,
And gathered flowers that near it grew,
The south wind whispered 'mong their leaves,
And kissed away their tears of dew;
I stooped beside that summer stream,
And dipped my flowers, at shut of day,
A bright wave came, had not seen,
Floating my flowers away.
1 reached my hand, but all 10 vain
cried, go cold unfeeling wave
You've robbed me Of my treasures sweet,
Bring back my flowers 0 heartless wave'
And still they floated, foated on,
And still watched them fade from sight,
Watched till the stars shone down on me,
Sweet angel eyes of night.
And thus, I said, our many hopes
Are gliding from our grasp each day;
And thus we reach our hands to save
Our treasures as they foat away.
Friendship. to-day, is warm and true,
Our throbbing hearts are blithe and gay,
But morn may see it, like my flowers.
Floating from US away.
And thus, the romance of our love
Is shorter than midnight dream;
Soft hands press ours, then pass along,
Like my sweet flowers upon the stream.
And yet we gaze through memory's glass,
And bring those dear old ''by-gones" near,
And think the scene is no less sweet,
Though seen through sorrows tear.
And thus, said, our kindred ties
Are softly sundered, year by year;
And grassy mounds are raised above
The darling forms We held SO dear.
And while we gaze with aching hearts,
Upon the vacant chat" each day,
And angel whispers in cur ear,
SONY floating away"
And thus, I mind me of a morn,
When brightly shone the glorious sur,
When gently down the rivers bank
We led our precious, angel one.
A sweet farewell was on her lip,
And in her eye holy ray,
Then waving US one snowy hand,
Whispered Floating away"

Anniversary at Brandon.

The anniversary of the Young Nm
the 16.h inst, and continued through the
evening of the 18th, was, in many re-
spects, highly interesting. The attend
ance was large, and all msnifested deep
interest in the exercises of the occasion
which consisted mainly of singing and the
presentation of several very fine tableaux.
1t is very rare, indeed, that we witness
tableaux so well conceived and beauti-
fully represented. Those of the mission
of the Y. NJ. @. A." the Visit of the
Queen of Sheba to the Court of Solomon"
the Finding of Moses" and "Rebecca at
the Well" were most deeply interesting
and expressive. The tables were richly
supplied and tastefully arranged, and the
ladies having charge of them were very
attentive to the wants of all who partook
of the feast. The articles offered for
sale were nice, and many of them vslu-
able, and all met with ready sale. The
sum received, from all sources, WAS about
$500, and the net receipts about 1926.
Thus by the favor of the people, the As
ISOLATION is relieved of debt under which
it was struggling, and has in its treasury
$3.50, with which to carry on work in
future. The Association is by no means
strong in respect to number, but espoci-
ally SO in the faith, hope and persever-
ance and determined purpose of the mem
bers in the prosecution of their work and
the full realization of their hope of aid at
the anniversary is to them cause of great
rejoicing and much encouragement.
Every observer of the work of the AS
ISOLATION must be convinced of it's power
for good in the village, and especially SO
in other parts of the tewn.
We are glad of the encouragement
given the Association, and hope it may be
repeated year after year, and that the As
ISOLATION may grow in numbers, in power
and influence for many years to come.
There can be no doubt, think, of the
beneficial results of such gatherings and
such action as on this occasion. This
community will henceforth be more gen.
orally interested in the objects and work
of the AS ociation, than heretofore be.
cause of the aid given, and certainly a
meeting SO harmonious, so pleasant and
SO successful must be highly beneficial in
a social point of view. CIvIs.

rage, signed BY G. D. Landon, Justice Of
of the Peace, and by his sister Mary
Wray, with other proof of the marriage.
On the other band, G. d. Landon testified
that the signature was bis, but that he
never married the parties, and that he
issued the certificate at the request Of
John Petit, as a cover to an Illicit eohabi-
tation. The case was brought to close
last Friday, and Judge Lourie decided
that from the evidence before him the
marriage was proved, and ordered that
the letters of administration to the de-
PENDANTS be revoked, and letters granted
to the plaintiff, on her filing the proper
bsnd and oath of Office. Robert Dois was
the counsel for tie plaintiff, and Hon.
Joseph Potter for the defendants.

THE RUTLAND HEKALD
THURSDAY, MAY 25. 1871.
The Treaty.

The treaty. of the High Commission
seems to be the great topic OF pohticai
discussion at the present time. 1t has
been published and the world know OF Its
nrsoiss stipulations, and grave Senators
are carefully considering it, guarded
AGAINST the intrusion of the public. 1t is
probable that in some respects, treaty
fails to realize the full measure of popu-
lar expectation, but it is undoubtedly as
favorable to the interests of the United
States, as it could be made, without doing
Injustice to the interests OF Great Brit
ain. 1t is evident the wisdom of the poll
ny of submitting to international COM
missions all differences which may at any
time become a danger and menace to the
peace of two or more countries, will COM
mend itself to the approval of all civil
lied nations, and if successful, England
and the United States will have set the
world a good example, and taken hand in
hand, forward step toward better and
higher civiliz alton, international peace
and good will.
1t is perhaps a matter of regret that the
claims Of British subjects should have
been mixed with the settlement of the
alabama claims. The Alabama claims
involve acknowledged wrong, and it is q
question Of doubt whether the people of
the United States will be satisfied to re-
oeive British claims as an offset. We
perceive nothing in the treaty that really
iustifies such proposition which, in our
Judgment is opposed to all principles of
fair dealing. The apology of Great Brit
ain for the wrongs she did US in the mat
ter of the Confederate cruisers is we'll, so
far IA it goes toward establishing a new
rule of international law holding neutrals
to stricter responsibility ; but the rule
should have been made retroactive and
furnish the measure of compensation for
past damages. The American Commits
sioners have undoubtedly given this
branch of the subject full and careful
consideration, and have adopted the most
equitable adjustment of the question, and
it becomes us as nation to accept the
terms which are proposed. The fishery
question and the manner of the appoint
ment of the Boards or Commissioners of
Arbitration are important points which
should be carefully debated lest injustice
be done to American fishermen.
The treaty, so far as the public are in
formed Of the secret sessions of the Sem
ate, ia evidently being thoroughly consid-
cred upon it's merits, without any adj
mixture of prejudice, and seems to be
met in the same frank and loyal manner,
In which the representatives. OF Great
Britain have approached the grave ques-
tions at issue between the two govern
ments. The liberality of feeling manifest
ed may lead to new bonds of peace be-
tween England and the United States,
which will prove fruitful of blessing TO
both countries and to all their different
nationalities and races, and to the general
cause of human progress.
