The chief difficulty about keeping
milk in the summer time grows out OF
q certain mugginess and excess of cleo
tricity in the atmosphere in times of
thunder and lightning. The effect OF
this state of things Is that the milk
sours before the cream has time to rise.
Every summer there is immense loss
to farmers and dairymen nom this
cause. Various expedients have been
resorted to for the purpose Of conquer
Ing this difficulty. Where q stream of
cold spring water can be had, there is
probably no better plan than that of
setting the milk in close pans Inn
OF butter in the u. s, are manufac-
small proportion of farmers and dairy
spring of water. What Ia needed Ii q
plan universally practicable. An H.
linois dairyman has, after long expert
ment, hit upon O device which APP
pears to meet the. requirements of the
case. 1t Is that of supplying air to the
milk cellar by means of an under
ground duct, long enough and deep
enough to give the apartment the tenn
perature of the earth, no matter what
the weather may be. During all the
time this plan has been in operation,
the temperature OF the air conveyed
by the underground duct has only
varied four degrees. It has kept from
.forty-six to fifty degrees, though the
outside shade temperature has varied
from twenty degrees below zero to
ninety degrees above. Mr.. Sylvester,
the discoverer of this method, states
that he Is now able to control the tenn
perature of his dairy just as he wants
It. He keeps 1t at from sixty to sixty
two degrees, and can make AZ good
butter and as much Of Il, at all times,
as he could in other milk houses ut the
most favorable times. He further tes-
titles that this plan Is q perfect safe
guard against that peculiar mugginess
characteristic Of thundery weather, to
which allusion has been made az en-
falling go much loss every summer.
This he attributes to the fact that the
air-duct leading to this milk cellar has
an earth floor, contact with which pu-
rifles the air, clearing It of all malarial
gases and foul odors, so that II reach
es the cellar in q thoroughly purified
state. This plan has the merit Of be-
ing simple, and Is certainly well worth
trying by all who desire the best and
most satisfactory returns from the
milk yield of the farm. Not the least
advantage about II IL, that II secures
the admission of air into cellar In the
winter time without danger OF frost.
AS cellars are usually constructed, they
must be made so tight In order to ex-
clude frost, that there is absolutely no
ventilation except upward, and that
usually involves carrying foul air into
the dwelling above to the great risk Of
affecting the health Of the family.

BALTIMORE, October 9.-The Union
Banking Company Of this city suspended
payment yesterday afternoon. The cr~h-
Ter makes the following statement: "Lla-
tilities, el00, 900; assets, $4,000. The
depositors will be paid in full. Ihe bank
was incorporated in 1873, With capital
stock of 500, 900; Samuel Barth, Presi-
dent, and W. A. Savin, Cashier. For
some time past it has been involved, and
its time certificate of deposit have been
offered for sale in New York, which fact
has alrerdy destroyed its credit mere.
MIR. Sayin, the late Cashier, makes the
following statement: "The bank has been
in trouble for some time, and week ago

been the President of the Oriental Bank
of New York city; b. w. Warner, E. j..

ter President aud COLONEL Foute, of
emphls, Cashier. They gave as their
ason for not paying cash for their stock
that they wanted to put all their money
into the business to get the bank on Its
feet again. and on Thursday they would
put 5000 in the vaults. This was not
done, and the President and myself stay
ed in the bank to protect our own inter-

mistake: it should have been drawn on
the Oriental Savings Bank of New York.
On Friday he absconded, and unde :
stand he issin Newly ork. l will have him
arrested for obtaining money under false
pretenses. This can be done by getting

\ DEAD SHOT.

Wm. Spence, alias Oregon Bill. is
in many respects remarkable man.
His birth place is Port Natal, South
Africa, and he has hardly yet reached
forty. He was at sea for years, and
during the time distinguished himself
for bravery in two engagements with
pirates on the coast of Africa. he
participated with credit to himself
in tie last war with Russia, and was
present at the fall of Balaklava.
From 1850 to 1853 he was an Indian
fighter on the frontier of Kansas and
Texas, and in an engagement with
the red men on an occasion IN which
the whites were victorious, after a
bloody hand-to-hand fight, he is said
to have killed seven warriors with
his pistol and bowie knife. In Port
land, Oregon, he had a friend, John
O'Madigan, now of this city. While
O'Madigan was walking along the
street smoking his pipe, and at dis
tance of ten feet, and at a right an
gle, Bill suddenly drew his pistol
and fired, the ball taking the pipe
from the mouth of his friend, but do
ing him no harm. A gain, last fall,
Bill was in Lake City with deer for
sale, and seeing his old friend o.
Madlgan, passing up the same street
on the opposite side, he called to him
to stop. When he had drawn hi:
revolver, John did SO, facing him Al
the time. Bill fired, and the bal
passed through the hat of hi
friend. o. Madigan, in the bes
of humor, cried out "Bin dom
shoot any more it is too close."-
