EDIToR ARGUs:-As the time has
arrived when we are about to close
for the season, it may be interesting
to many of your readers to learn
what progress has been made by US
in the manufacturing Of cheese.
This establishment, as previously
stated, has the capacity of convert
ing ten thousand pounds OF milk in
to cheese per day. We believe it
to be the largest establishment of the
kind north of San Francisco. We
have noticed this for the purpose OF
rectlfying any impression to the con-
trary. The causes which compel us
to close are various. First, the
drouth, which has lasted so long, has
caused a decrease in the supply Of
milk so that we are not able to prof
itably manufacture it into cheese;
second, it seems agreeable to both
producer and proprietor that the es
tablishment should close, which took
effect today.
The amount of cheese made dur
ing four.and-a. half months in which
the factory has been in operation is
about $4,000 lbs. 1t is gratifying to
state that all are satisfied with the
course of events. Although the in.
ilux from the California market has
had a tendency to depress our mar.
ket, we cannot but feel elated by the
fact that our cheese has commanded
from two to five cents per pound
more than that imported from Cali
fornia or elsewhere. 1t is with Iehl-
ings somewhat akin to regret that
we leave; but we trust that next
year we shall commence at least two
months earlier il the season, thereby
securing much advantage over thir
summers work. There is no doubt
that the quantity OF milk will be ID
creased, perhaps double, as our far.
mers are all calculating on increas-
ing the numbrr of their milch cows.
We must now bid adieu to all,
thanking our farmer friends kindly
for their patronage and co operetlou
Hoping to merit renewal of the
business relations so amicably prose
cuted heretofore, we remain,
Yours, &C.,
JOSEPH CARTON.

Owing to a misunderstanding, the
appointment of Miss Softer to lectuI g
was made for Saturday evening last.
Posters were circulated making the
announcement, after which the time
was changed to Monday evening,
This created a confusion in the pub
lie mind; and, on account of neglect,
the hall being unighted until after
the appointed hour, little or no aud
ience put in an appearance, so there
was no lecture. Miss Softer, how
ever, at the earnest solicitation of a
few friends left fifty tickets to lee,
ture which, if they are sold, will be
delivered by her, one week from this
evening. Her subject will be: "Den.

desire to learn of the rise, progress
and fortunes of the gallant little

The Universal Provider.'

A London letter to the San Fran
cisco Chtonicle says:
Have you heard of the wonderful
Whiteley Of Westbourne Grove, the
Universal Provider," as he calls
himself. His is a large block Of
shops, which, less than twenty years
ago, started as single establishment
in the millinery and drapery line, and
has now been famous tor at least q
dozen twelve months. 1t is a place
outside which, in the season, the car
riages extend for a quarter of a mile
or more, and stand as many deep as
the width of not especially capa-
cious street and the vigilance of the
Metropolitan Police will permit !;

in the small hours and rush off there
directly the doors open if you wish
to be attended to.

one of the urbane shop walkers who
was attending him TO the door, after
an afternoon spent in the several out

A Bustle About a Dog.

A thrilling occurrence is reported
from Evanston, I'LL, and it is prob
ably the first instance in which the
hustle of lovely women became an
implement of crime. The case is
thus immortalized by the Cleveland
Leader: There was a boy in that
town named Daley. The boy had a
dog, which he was accustomed to
take with him on his daily excursions
to certain suburban pasture fields to
drive homo the COWS. On the 9th
inst. young Daley found on his way
to the pasture something white and
ruffied and mysterious. He did not
know what it was, but it was too
beautiful to throw away, and the
happy thought struck him that it
might be intended as an ornamental
portable awning for a dog. So he
called his dog and tied the gay
device around his body just behind
his forelegs. This held the wavy
frills of the tom7asUe acanopy. Thus
caparisoned the dog pranced gaily in
front of his master to where the cows
were quietly grazing in the field. I'm
mediately there was wild commotion.
The COWS knew in a general way
something about dogs, but an animal
half dog and half bird, with tower
ing banner of whalebone and wire
and muslin floating in the Summer
wind, was to them a new and terrify-
ing spectacle. They eyed the ap-
preaching terror a moment, then
tossed their heads, turned tail and

Lung Affections, also positive and

broke in wild stampede for town
The frantic herd burst from the end
of the lane into the main road just as
a grave and serious individual came
driving along.6 Him the cowslheed-
ed not. The dog, with his pheno-
menal attachment waving up and
down, was behind and they cared for

Others dashed against the wheels, cap

two miles Of the public highway.
The cows, reinforced by the flying
steed, carried: the village IKE an m
yading army, and such was the terror
and surprise Of the people that they
have since done little else but talk
about it. The man crawled out Of
the ditch and began legal proceedings
against the boy, who came into town
by side street, and slipped up the
back stairs supperless to bed. The
dog with the hustle saw that he had
overdone the thing and crept under

When thy servant left home this
morning there were even thirty-seven
bushels Of apples in the wagon-bed.
Now there was in the wagon naught
save the FIVE boys. Neither was
there so much as ore small apple.
And the husbandman necked thelads
and entreated them roughly, for he
said what is it we have done =? For
ye have cast my apples into the street.
But the lads wept bitterly and said,
Nay, not SO. Are thy servants pigs
that they should do such a thing
And he said, Declare unto me then
what hast thou done with my apples.
And the lads pointed at each other
even each one at his fellow, and they
wept and exclaimed with one accord,

And the husbandman was wroth
and would not believe them
For he visit not that the town boy
was hollow clear into the ground.
But the women OF the city cried
unto him and said, How far is it the
lads have ridden with thee =? And he
said, Even as far as a mile and half
And the women laughed and made
merry and said: Of surety it is
even so as the lads have said. They
have eaten up all the apples.
And they made light of it, as tho
it had been very small thing for the
lads to do.
And the husbandman marveled
greatly within him self, for the five
lads did not fill one small end of the
wagon. And it was SO that it was
beyond his finding out, where the
thirty-seven bushels OF apples had
slowed themselves.
So he turned him about and drove
home, and he commanded the lads
that they follow him not.
And they hooted at him and cast
stones after him even unto the city
gates, for such is the custom and man
ners Of the town boy. 49,.
But the husbandman spake not un
to them, neither reproved he them
for his mind was heavy with think
ing of this wonderful thing he had
