For the last few years il has been found by ex-
perience that all parties who send their milk to
cheese factories to be manufactured into cheese.
are not in every case perfectly honest, but on
the contrary are in many cases inclined to adul-
terate or skim their milk previous to sending it.
Upon this state of things being brought to the
attention of our legislature, an act was passed
last winter to prevent the occurrence of frauds
of this kind, which in many cases seems to rem
der it quite onerous if not difficult to practice
frauds of this kind.
A few DAYS since J. r. Downs, of Nelson who
for the last two seasons had sent his milk to the
factory of j. & II. Mills, was arrested upon a
warrant issued by Justice Cole, upon the charge
of skimming milk. Last Saturday the prelimi-
nary examination was held, and Mr.. Downs
was held to answer at the next term of Court of
Common. Pleas. Homer Norton and o. A. Tay-
lor. appeared on the part of the State. NJ. Stuart
appeared for the defendant. The case was
thoroughly handled and the arguments were
quite elaborate.
Last Sabbath, the Rev. Father Eddy, deliver
ed two discourses at the Congregational Church,
two years ago he preached his first sermon in
this town, being at the time preacher upon the
circuit which comprised this territory. There
are very few if any now living, who listened to
his first sermon in our village. He spoke quite
at length in reference to the hardships of early
frontier life, when our fair land now dotted
with handsome edifices, and teeming with busy
human life, was then buried in deep impenetra-
BILE forests, through which the traveller could
only wend his way by the aid of marked trees
and pocket compass. Mr.. Eddy has lived long
eventful life, which have been almost exclu-
sively devoted 20 the interests of the Methodist
h o1adf for into do
clining age. we hope thatmany long years may
yet be added to his rich harvest. y

A few days ago three men were discovered ON
the road leading south from the Station in that
loosc-jointed and happy condition, which would
indicate to careful observer that a fountain of
6ez-ise existed somewhere in that vicinity. AT
ter proceeding in zig-zag course about 8 mile
and half but in reality making a forward pro-
gress of only half mile, the party became so
weary and heavy laden with the cares and re-
sponsibilities of life then resting upon them,
that they concluded to seek an inviting fence
corner, whose cool and friendly shade gave
promise of an agreeable rest and repose. and
there, stretched side by side upon the bosom
of mother earth, they soon passed into state of
blissful oblivion, and enjoyed the rest that
comes to the weary. How long they remained
there is unknown, but We hope that when they
awoke to a realizing sense of sublunary things,
they took the back track in straight line di-

WISHING IN VAIN.

Through all the bloom of the beautiful summer.
Mid the cleaning of sunshine and falling OF
rain,
Charmed with glad music of bird and of brook
With all things to gladden., we are wishing in
Tonight as 1 dream where the shadows lie
And watch the bright crimson burn out of
I wonder if ever our hearts know contentment,
If ever We laugh without breathing sigh
Floating far back to that land of enchantment.
The realm of the Past where bright fairies
We find ourselves dreaming and ever awaken
To nnd tits the Present and we are wishing
wishing in vain for the voice of our loved one,
Who years agone drifted far. far from our
sayfng@H II ust me in Heaven" she left us SO
And shifering we stood in the darkness of
night.
Ah. now am listening for step so long silent,
And the glad. happy smile can almost be-
Hist he is gone, and the heart true and tender.
Lies under the clover all silent and cold
True heart and loyal. how brave and how noble,
You lived and you died, while never again
Shall white lids unclose to look kindly upon me,
They have folded o'er eyes that were weary
with pain.
Shading thy couch is the grand Arbor yita,
Over thy grave sweeps the wind and the rain
| The june roses blossom then drift to December
While we, clad in earth robes. are-wishing In
vain.
Fondly we stood and watched down by the har-
Dor,
The stately ships launched which we sent
forth to sea,
Thinking they soon would return richly freight
K ed,
Bringing rare treasures for you and for me.
| All, mel mine never sailed back to that harbor,
Ii sunk in the depths of the treacherous main
Yours changed its pilot and Death guided on
| To the isle of the blest and I'm watching in
vain
Castles we buiIded, crowned with tower and tur-
Donjon and keep. and right royal train,
| Your castle changed to mansion in heaven.
While mine fell in ruins which will meier rise
again
Tonight have gazed toward the portals of
And sweet dreamful peace has entered my
SOUL;
If ships sent to sea never bring us our dream
We must otherwise strive to reach the bright
goal.
Idols we have on their lofty pedestals,
When shattered, they still in their inches re-
| main,
Sadly we gaze on the fragments in passing,
And wonder, yes, wonder, but wonder in vain.
All hopes and wishes will meet their fruition,
If patient wait our Fathers own way,
Somewhere and somehow, the skein will un-
And happy wen stand in the radiance of day,
Rejoicing that through the most devious wan,

row and pain. 4 4

In the glorious morning we win wish, not in
vain.

and in every respect a complete success. There
was large attendance, not only of the citizens
of the township, but of the towns round about
The net receipts of the dance after paying two
bands of music was over 800. A fine supper
was served on the occasion by Mrs. Kelso the
receipts of which amounted to $96. Everything
passed off pleasantly. Brimfield can now boast
of Town Hall equal to that of any other town
in the county.
{ FIsTIANA.-on Saturday evening last a mill
occurred between Frank Eek and George Rug
giles, which was not conducted altogether after
the rules of the prize ring. Frank goes a good
deal upon his muscle, and on this occasisn ran
his face against handful of bones in the pos
session of the said George, the result being that
the aforesaid Frank had considerable conceit
taken out of him, coming out of the contest con-
siderably damaged

They are welcoming home an angel
Who has lately crossed the tide, FI
And among the shining angels
Stands her mother by her side
Here on earth we sadly miss her,
Since from earth she passed away,
But in heaven we all shall meet her
At the final Judgment day.
She has friends she's left behind her y
In this bitter vale of tears,
Who will sadly, sadly mourn her,
Mourn her all their lifelong years.
Yes, dear Katie, we shall miss you
As we sit within our home,
But within the haven yonder M
You will not be quite alone.
Other friends have gone before you
Who are glad to see you come,
And hear them singing gladly,

So to angels we resign thee,
Blessed gift our Father sent,
For this bright and precious Jewel
To our keeping was but lent.
We are but ungrateftn children,
Placed upon this world below, q

That our Father doth bestow.

And smile with their old faces
The cloud that dims the noon-day sun,
Has light and warmth above it,
Its Frightened beam win shine anon
And that's the beauty of it,
The beauty of this life of ours,
Draws rest from incompleteness.
And lips pressed eyermOre to flow RS,
Taste not their fullest sweetness
What need to weep that Truth will keep,
As erst from Times beginning
Her best gifts high above our eye,
And slow and hard Of winning?
Some blessed need her hand VIII give,

To feet that climb, and hearts that strive
And that's the glory of it!

And feet that only tread on flowers,

To STOP BLEEDINd.-It is said that bleeding
from wound on man or beast may be stopped
by a mixture of wheat flour and common salt,
in equal parts, bound on with cloth. If the
bleeding be profnse, use a large quantity-use
from one to three pints. It may be left on for
days, if necessary. The person who gives this
recipe says in this manner he saved the life of a
horse which was bleeding from wounded arte-
ry; the bleeding ceased in five minutes after
the application.
