na Thompson, sister of Mrs. A. ID
Stcarns of this village, and young lad,
who accompanied her, were returning
from Middlcbury to their home at New
Haven Mills, and when near Mr.. Ham
+ mond's, by mistake took the wrong
road. They soon discovered their mis-
, take and attempted to turn about when
they were upset, and Miss Thompson
was thrown out with such force as tc
break the lower part of the thigh bone
involving the knee joint. She lay there
: helpless in the road while her compan-
ion was getting control of the horse UNI
til help came. She was brought back
to her sisters, and DR.. Sutton, assisted
by DR.. Plumley, put the broken bone
: in place. She seems to be doing as well
as could be expected.
The Middlebury wooden factory,
which has been under process of repair
and preparation for some weeks by
the lessces, the Messrs. Chadwick, has
commenced operations. They started
the first loom on Wednesday. They
announce their opening in this issue of
the Register, and offer to the public bar
gains in Atwood fancy cassimeres, doe
skins, yarns, etc., and propose TO take
wool and wood in exchange for cloth.
These gentlemen are practical manufiic-
turers, masters of their business, and
they commence on the right principles,
and will Use no shoddy or anything but
good wool. Having leased the mill for
a term of years, they propose to make
goods that will advertise themselves and
ensure n reputation.

Mr.. j. w. Dorsey, of Benson, agent
for the Cooley system of setting milk,
was on hand as advertised, TO exhibit
the system before the citizens of Mid
| IL al, A
day of this week. One ofthc conditions
from about six O'Clock in the morning
until about ten O'Clock before being
placed in the can. The process of oper-
alton is about as follows: The milk is
placed in n can, the can covered by an
inverted milk pan, and then wholly
submerged in water in tank or cooler,
the pressure of the air making the
pan a watcr-tight cover. The water is
cooled by ice to Q temperature of about
torty-five degrees, and there maintained.
At this temperature water ;sat its great
est density, and hence its power Of con-
Quoting heat is greatest. The watery
portion of the milk being good conduc-
tor Of heat, while the butter globues
are comparatively poor, it follows that
the wafer contracts, its density is in
creased, and hence sinks TO the bottom,
forcing the cream TO the surface. AT
two O'Clock, in the presence of gOodly
number of the farmers of the vicinity,
who had gathered TO witness the result 4,
the can was opened. The result was all
that could have been anticipated, some
three on four inches of cream having
been forced up to the surface of the milk /,
and the satisfaction manifested by the
observers must have been gratifying to
Dorsey. II Is said ''the proof of the
pudding is in the eating" but these
coolers have been in use during the last
season in some parts of the state and
have proved very satisfactory.
A - very full house assembled at
School Hall, Wednesday evening, to
witness the Adelphi exhibition, which
was very good one. The programme,
inlcrspersed with music was rs follows /:
