profitable to the farmer and maker than any
other kind of cheese, because from given
quantity of milk more weight is obtained and
better prices are realized.

he was a Clergyman" and that he was thirty
four years of age. He had s67 in his pocket, but
was allowed to retain nothing. He asked per-
mission to move little coffee stove to his cell,
but the keeper wouldn't hear to it. His hair
was not cropped, because 1t was already short.

and comfortable, though the psntaloons were
too small. The San Francisco papers say that
Kearney could very easily have paid his fine

THE st. Louis Globe-pemocrat sneerlngly
says that "the demand for railroad tickets to
st. Louis for the 9th of May Convention is not
very great, even at the reduced rates, but Mr..
E. w. Fox, one of Mr.. Henderson's managers,
yesterday observed that this fact had very
little significance, because at this season of
the year the walking was generally good, and
he had private advices that just now the coun-
try roads were in better condition than usual
even for early May" On the other hand, the
Republican, the leading Democratic paper of
st. Louis, says: 1.-The Anti Third Term Conven-
ton which assemblies In this city Thursday, 1t
is now assured will be a respectable body in
point of numbers, and more than respectable
not afraid of the party lash. Among those
who will take part in the deliberations of the
body are Republicans of National reputation,
and the prospects are that some very plain
talk will be INDUCED in. Delegates are already
arriving in the CITY,"
