While on tour through southern Berk- shire few days since, we made on our way, a brief sojourn at the house of friend at Sheffield, at whose earnest solicitation we consented to ride over and take view of the well known establishment known as the Sheffield Creamery. It is situated a short distance east of the village, on the banks of small stream, and is easy of access from all points, There are many fine farms on the outskirts of the village, the occupants of which take their milk here in preference to making it into butter. The business done here yearly is immense which is under the superintendence of MT. H. D. White, through whose courtesy we were shown through all the apartments of the establishment. It was started about years ago, under the auspices of the Farmers Milk Co.," and was subse- quently sold to David s. Draper of Ct. Bar rington. The milk when brought is measured by guage, and to prove it's purity is tested by an instrument known as the lactometer. There are four vats in one section of the build ing, which are supplied by 8 spring near by. There are about 600 tons of ice used here through the summer months. in cooling the milk etc. The milk is put into coolers and placed into the vats, and in the summer time is allowed to stand about l2 hours, when it is skinned and churned. There are two churns holding several gallons each, Wnlcn are run by machinery, and the glass quart cans are washed in a like manner. They make in summer c'lees, per day. averaging about 40 lbs apiece. The butter brings cts. more per pound than dairy manufactured. In tie month of June they shipped s0,960 quarts, besides what was sent in glass cans. In July 2426 cans, and s3O6 quarts in glass cans hold ing one quart each; August, PATS cans and 1880 quarts in glass cans, making grand total of over 300, ,0oo quarts during the sum- mer months. During the first half of Novem- Der they shipped 43, $50 quarts, and averaged Dec lst 60 cans day, and it requires four men now to do the work. MT. White has had experience in the far famed Orange Co. Creameries in N. Y., and thoroughly under stands the business.

The prospect for canal at the upper end of Manhattan island, connecting with the North and East rivers by way of the Harlem, is reviving, and it looks now as if that might be fact before the Brooklyn bridge or the Hudson river tunnel The cost will not be over g, 100, 900. A depth of twelve to fifteen or eighteen feet will be secured and the upper end of the island will, if the scheme works, be transformed. Line the Harlem river with shipping and open Long Island sound to con- merce, and business may drift up that way and fashion work back again to the Battery for its homes. Considering that General New ton, of Hell Gate fame is at the head of this work it may be expected to go if the appro- priation is made.

CANAAN. CONN. WEDNESDAY,, DEC. 10, 1879.
The Revolution

The Sun (N. Y) says there is plot brew ing among the Republican politicians of the State of New York to change the mode of choosing Presidential Electors by taking the right of election from the people and confer ring it upon the State legislature. It is hard to believe that even New York politicians can seriously contemplate anything so monstrous and revolutionary, but we ought not to be sur prised nowadays at Gnytttng politicians may do to further their selfish ends and retain their hold on the spells, and then it is said whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad These conspirators, however, if they really e1- ist and are not mere creatures of the imagina- tion, may find some difficulties in the way o the successful accomplishment of their scheme. For instance, the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution contains this provision: "But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice Pres ident of the United States, etc., is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, be- ing twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be re- duced in the proportion which the number Of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years ot age in such State."
 The plain object of this provision was to secure to the voters of the State the right to vote for electors and to prevent the right from being usurped by the legislature, and for this purpose it provided the penalty that In pro- portion as the voters were deprived of the right to vote the State should, tpso facto, for felt the right of representation in Congress and by consequence the right to choose elect ors, for the Constitution provides that State Ghall be entitled to ''a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the State mag De entitled in the Congress-" How many repre- sentatives then mag 8 State be entitled to ? If she denies the voters of the State the right to vote for electors she will be entitled to none. If she does not deny them that right or in any way abridge it she ''may be enti- tied" to one for every thirty thousand inhabit- ants excluding Indians not taxed" according to the last census taken as provided by the Constitution. the New York Legislature, therefore, shall choose the electors and thus deny the right to the voters, it will deprive the State of the right of representation in Congress and in the Electoral College. Mi Lord, you had better calmly consider that ex- cellent advice of Punch on an interesting oc- casion-Don't.

THE NATIONAL CoMPLAINT.-Dyspep
Is the national complaint. Almost every
other man or woman you meet has it,
and the result is that the number of
pseudo remedies for it is as numerous as
Pharaoh's host. They are for the most
part worthless. There is, however, a
searching eradicant of this distressing
and obdurate malady, ono whose genuine
merits long since raised it to foremost
place among the staple medicines of
America. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
extirpates dyspepsia with greater certain
ty and promptitude than any known rem
edy, and is most genial invigorant, ap-
| petizer and aid to secretion. These are
not empty assertions, as thousands of our
country meu and women who have ex.
perienced its effects are aware, but are
backed up by irrefragable proofs repeat
edly laid before the public. The Bitters
| also promote regular habit of body and
give a hsalthful stimulus to the urinary
organs.
