 George Cogswell who went to Jackson vile, Florida, last fall, and who was re- ported to have been dashed to pieces by falling from house-top upon which he was at work, has arrived home, to the de- light of his many friends who mourned him as dead. George has been sick and looks rather thin, but is worth quite a number of dead men yet, and thinks the bracing air of 1Bs native town will soon restore him to his former self.

 We visited the Elm Farm dairy (owned by MT. B. B. Kellogg. and situated just over the line Ill New Fairfield), last week Wednesday, and, although 1t has already been ably described in the Ne,rs, we will give brief description, hoping 1t may prove interesting to the reaaers- of the BEE. The first room we were shown into contained four pans, with capacity of thirty-fiye gallons each, into which the milk Is poured. These pans are provided with pipes, and when the cream is taken of, the stopples are drawn and the milk passes outside to a place provided for its reception. There is boiler attached to this departm ent, which Is used in winter for the purpose of heating the milk to the right temperature. We saw large churn also, of the old fashioned style, (which they prefer to any later invention), that Is worked by dog-power, and we will say here, that their son Charley, has a noble looking animal, whose father was owned by Edward $. Stokes, and was sold, we are informed, for S11, 200. After churn- ing, the butter is worked free frsm milk before one could say Jack Robinson; and we believe there arose in our mind some such exclamation of surprise at the quick ness with which it was done. The butter is then pressed into beautiful cakes weigh wreath stamped around the edge, inside of which is the name Elm Farm, stampe in raised letters. It is now ready to be packed and shipped, i'll coolers. via Dan bury, to the New York market. We for got to inquire if they saltad the butter, but think not. Everything about the place is as neat and clean as it is possible to make it, and is perfectly free from that rancid or sour smell that dairies arc liable to have unless great pains are taken to keep them we'll secured. Miss Sadie Kellogg, their daughter, whose seven eteenth birthday arrived about ten hours before your correspondent did, has the entire charge of IT COWS and the dairy, She is Iadylike and modest In appearance, and we are informed by those who are better acquainted with her than your cor respondents, that she is an agriculturalist on the farm, e Horticulturist Tn the garden, nailkmaid in the dairy, and q bright star aa the drapi,.q room. c.
