Obituary.

The following Obituary of Mrs. Sage. copied from the Juneau County Argus, will be read with interest by her old time friends in Canaan and Norfolk.
 The deceased was the mother of Mrs. E.. G. Little, and MT. B. D. Sage, of this place, by whom, and their families, the loss of a kind and affectionate mother is sorrowfully felt.
 She was born in Norfolk, Litchfield Co.,, Conn.,, and with her husband, MT. Jedediah Sage, came to Wisconsin in 1S42, ann loca- ed at Oconomewoc, Waukesha county, where the incidents of the early settlement of that section of our state, and the cares and responsibilities of a family of children were patiently endured by her and her hus- band until death called him away from her, and at that place his remains were inferred.
 After 8 residence of fifteen years at Oc- onomowoc, she with her daughter and son, and son-in-law, Dr. B. G. Little, came to this village in 1855, and since that time made it her home, with her daughter and son-in law, Mrs. and Mir. E. c. Little, where her advanced years were spent in an exem- plary and truly Christian manner.
 "Aunty Sage" was beloved by her nu- merous friends, and her advice was solici- ted by the youth of this community as well as by those of mature years-everybody knowing her for her generous cordial quali- ties always active in making the lives of others happy, many of whom will regret to learn the sad news of her death.

The Milk Question.

In your issue of the Fist you speak of the Housatonic Milk. Association Tn a way that leads me to believe you have not been thoroughly posted in regard to the late movem@his of farmers interested in the great milk market in New York, and few words of explanation may assist you to a better understanding of the subject, and be interesting to those of your readers who are producers of milk. The rapid growth of the milk trade of New York during the last ten years has been attended by cor rcspondngly rapid growth of wrong in it's management. The nature of the trade in viled and seemed to dem and middlemen. It's magnitude and dopportunities were temp tations to do wrong too strong to be resist el. At first the consumers were the only victims; but gradually the producer began to receive the attention of the middleman :; the price of milk was cut down; cans kept and used in the city; milk reported sour and one cent per quart returned, less com mission and in February the milk dealers of New York, at a convention held for that purpose, fixed the price that producers should sell their milk for during the year commencing April lst, 1872, and ending March 3lst, 1873, and issued the following card to all milk petlders and dealers, en- joining strict adherence to the action of the dealers organization.

Arr est of a YnIe Student for Theft.

James Homer Abbott, member of the senior class at Yale was arrested Thursday evening while attempting to sell stolen clothing at a secondhand clothing store on Court street. Abbott entered the college with the class of '73, with the avowed in tention of entering the ministry. The PdNGdjum gives particulars of the affair as follows: One year ago last Christmas, in the absence of one of his acqualntances in the same class, Abbott entered his room and abstracted quantity of clothing and what articles of value he could lay his hands on, and sold them at secondhand clothing store in that city. He then left college and his class, and when the owner of the stolen articles returned he instituted a search, and succeeded in reclaiming only valuable violin. Nothing was heard of Abbott for some time, but last fall sev- eral students lost quantity of clothing and some of the least valuable articles were traced to a second hand clothing store, and from the proprietor's description it was suspected tbat Abbott had returned, and had again taken this way to raise the wind. Thursday evening, between the hours of five and six, while the rooms in South Col lcge are generally unoccupied, room was entered and a. large quantity of clothing and valuable articles taken. This it seems was the work of Abbott, who had again turned up. and who immediately endeavor. ed to sell his plumber. Some of the cloth ing he disposed of at the store of MT. Bes Ser. and then proceeded to the store of MT. levi on Cour: street to dispose of the re- maim.rr. Unfortunately for Abbott NIT. Levi recognized him as the student who had been there before under suspicious cir cumstances, and while the proprietor en- gagged his attention policeman was sent for, the door locked and the guilty young man entrapped. Upon search the keys oi severa! of the college rooms were found il his possession, which he had probably pro cured while member of the college. large bundle of clothes was also found he hind door at the college, which it is sup posed he intended to carry away in tht night. Many other instances of petty thieving, for which he seems to have hat a mania, are now brought forward agains him; bu; heretofore tue parties who have suffered have preferred to let the matte rest without prefcrring any charges, bu when system of thieving has been carried on so long, forbearance ceases to be vir tue, and in reality the most chartabl, treatment is to let the law take it's course It will be remembered that this person sev. cred his connection with the university af ter his first robbery of any magnitude, ant that his subse quent actions have been ihos, of citizen only, though directed towards his old friends in an institution, the faculty of which he baseiy deceived.

Barnumville, Vt., Feb. 24th, 1873.

CLARA LOUISE KEILoaa.-If ever wo. man was both shrewd and social that wo- man is Clara Louise Kellogg. She con- pines the liveliness of the French woman with the worldly acumen of Yankee, and can make a bargain as readily as she can sing song. No girl that ever lived was ever fitted by nature 10 take better care of herself, or has more faithfully fulfilled her destiny. In this laudable course she has been sustained and cherished by the kind est and keenest of mothers, who has be- come the dread of managers, none of whom have ever been able to gain single point on her in a contract of any conceivable sort of a pecuniary transaction. Born of good family, Miss Kellogg has ever ikept within the charmed circles of good society, and backed by the Stebbins family, and other monied connections, has fairly won and kept her operatic spurs. She is an in dustriOus woman and conscientious artiste, and though full of herself, full of her tu- ture, intensely vain and excessively ambi- tious. earns the right to be all this by her unwearied professional activity and her un- doubted professional talent. Socially, when not grinding an axe," Miss Kellogg is q charming companion, and when in her summer house at Cold Spring, on the Hud- son. entertains elegantly, though not ire quently. Warren, formerly the bank de l tective, now superintendent of Broadway dry-goods store, is one of her intimate friends, and it has for long time been taken for granted that young Stebbens was engaged to her, until he married another lady. Miss Kellogg has refused more of fers of marriage than any other woman of her age in this country and really, wheth- CT warned of the fate of other operatics we know not, it seems she is one of those few women who have resolved never to marry. An English baronet and Russian noble
 man have been numbered among her ad
 mirers; but if she affects anyone at all matrimonially speaking-she certainly has managed to keep her own counsel well. Of late she has taken it into her head to be come fat; she indulges freely in beef steak and avoids acids-with what success remains to be seen. Her wardrobe is rich, but not what would be expected of pro fessional of her rank. Her toilets off the stage arc recherche but not extravagant She lives comfortably with her parents or East Twenty-fifth street, and is worth g good deal of money in bank and real es tate. She is not charitable, though she gives occasionally to deserving objects, anc would make thorough man of the world were she not so charming woman.

And on tLe 22d of February, 1872, the milk dealers met in convention at 52 Or chard street, to take measures to procure the passage of an act reducing the freight on milk to one cent quart in the state of New York, and while this reduction of freight was confidently expected no reduc- tion of the two thousand cans of water sold by them daily for milk, or price to con. sumer was mentioned, or increase of pay to producers intended. The producer and consumer, as well as the several railroad companies very naturally began to feel some interes: in these handed proceed ings and arbitrary acts of wrong. Inves tigations were carefully made and it was apparent that isolated producers and even local organizations were utterly powerless in any attempts to obtain justice for them selves or correct any of the abuses of the milk trade, which had fallen into the hands of well-organized band of milk dealers. A call was made for 8 milk-producers
 convention, which was held in New York on the 2sth day of Marcb, 1872, at which producers from ten milk producing lines of railroad were present. reprenting nine
 tenths of aS the milk sold in New York Concert of action was unanimously decitl
 ed on, and general organization was formed. A committee was appointed tc devise plan by which the pr oducers could sell milk direct to the consumers and in 6 pure state. A joint stock company has been decided upon, with capital of one million of dollars, and $2OO, 1000 has already been subscribed, exclusively by farmers. An assessment was made of 35 per cent, which is being promptly paid and in all these movements the Housatonic Valley Milk Association, acting as an auxiliary to the General Association, has promptly done its share of the work, and instead of standing alone, as your article would i'm, ply, it is the strong right arm of move ment which we hope is destined to redeem not only the producer but the consumer of this produce from system of unparalleled wrong and injustice. I enclose an address to farmers, containing the history and orl- gin of the Farmers Milk Company.
