Preparations are, being made for the
ho'ding of an International Dairy Fair, at
the American Institute, New York, the
different State and county associations, the
American and Northwestern Dairy Asso-
Citations, and the National Butter, Cheese
and Egg Association having united ia Or
ganizing the display. Cheese making
alone has becomes very important indus
try inthis country, and one which is like
ly, under the "factory SYSTEM" to prove
very profitable. It is proposed to exhibit
not only the products of the dairy, but the
methods of making butter and cheese now
and in the olden time. This will serve L
make the display interesting to the gen
eral public as we'll as useful to the practi'
cal dairyman. With the exception Of thu
International Exhibition of dairy products
in this city during the Centennial, the dis
plays made by dairymen have been hereto
fore purely local and confined to those Of
county or State. The exhibition in New
York, however, which is announced to be-
gin December 9Th, promises to be really
international and of commercial impor'
tauce.

The "sixty Day" Philosophers on the
subject of yellow fever will apparently
have to count the epidemic Of 1878 an ex-
ception to their theoretical rule. twill
be three months te-morrow since the dis
ease was declared epidemic in New Or
leans, and although the appearance offrost
gives promise of its speedy cessation, it
may still be fairly, classed as epedemic.
The total number of deaths probably ex.
ceeds twelve thousand, about four thous.
and having died in New Orleans, and near
ly as many more in Memphis. There has
been no more la.4l epidemic since 1853,
when there were nearly eight thousand
deaths in New Orleans alone, within two
months. ~=.-A

The oldest house in America is said to
be the Horton mansion at Southold, Long
Island. Itwas built by Barnabas Horton
in 1889. "A portion of the house (the east
end) was built later for use by the Court
Sessions for the East Riding Of Yorkshire
on Long Island. This Yorkshire and its
Riding, with the Court of Sessions, were
established by the Dukes laws in March,
1856. The Judges bench remained in the
house until few years ago. The old house
was recently sold to person who evident-
ly has the bump Of veneration poorly de-
veloped, for he has given notice of his in"
tent to tear down this famous old landmark
and to erect new house on its site. The
residents of fSouthold and vicinity have ar
ranged for. a grand entertainment in the
old mansion this evening. Antique furni-
ture, households goods, kitchen nntensils,
etc., have been gathered from every quar-
ter Of the county, and the ladies who are
to serve the tables will be robed in the
costumes worn 200 years ago. 1t will be
thought by many persons that this enthus
siasm might have served better purpose
in pleading for the preservation of the
Horton House.
