 -EcRo FARM.-rhe Germantown Tele- graph, of 27th of January, publishes an ex- ceilent article on ''Butter-making" written by our esteemed friend. Mir. T. l.. Hart, in which he thus refers. in compliment tlry terms, to Mir. Starr's Dairy: "As before stated, his COWS are Alderrey, and ming. His means and preparations are ample for making the best butter that it IS possible to make from new milk, and learn it sells for q dollar & pound, an 1 this too when other butter of good quail fy sells for only forty-five to fifty cents a pound, and much more is sold for thirty cents. Among various experiments made on ''EchO Farm has been that of churn- ing from new milk. Butter thus produc- ed has been printed and ready for uss within two hours from the time the COWS were milked. but, as before stated, this was merely by way of experiment. This butter, though of excellent quality, by no mcaps equalled that which is now W Nn A. deep milk coolers referred to in tho arti- cle written by Mir. Hotchkiss of the Hart. ford Courant. and copied by us.
 We havo been much pleased with d per sOnal inspection of the admirably arrang. cd barn Mir. Starr has just finished. It has been so fully described in the Courant article that it will be unnecessary for us enter into detail Notwithstanding it's enormous capacity-15O tons of hay-am. pie for the cattle it will house, the yield of hay on Echo Farm already exceeds that limit. This has increased from F tons ir 1870 to over 22O tons last year, compar atively small portion of which was cut from about 6S acres purchased by MT Starr. last year. and which he had no time to improve.
 The Wilmington (N. O Singers vii appear at the Old Congregational Churel on Friday evening, and give one ofthei Jubilee Concerts. We give the following preas opinions of them:
 This company is composed of twelv, persons, seven females and five males, al eolOred-comely, modest. exceedlngl, well behaved. and prepossessing Their songs are very peculiar; weird quaint yet wonderfully pleasing to tn ear. No one can tell who composed them in fact they are never well composed, bu gre the -outgrowth of a nature naturall musical. They pleased the audience il those songs which they were accustome' to sing on the old plantation in the day lf slayeEy.--H. F Hines.
 They certainly are fully equal to th Fisk Jubilee Singers" No one who ha sser heard this kind of singing can form correct idea of the wondrous melody an' naSe there is in the deep, rich, wild plain llFe voices of these children Of the South --2ftdgeporg Standard.
 kseFy one who has heard them speak ln the highest term of their singing. -ses0 Haven Re0ister.
