In England and Wales there are 155
licensed packs of foXhOunds, having
6,239 couples. In Scotland there are
nine packs with 326 couples, and III

mon," exhibited at birmingham in 1854.
The height of this animal was 50 inches,
and his weight2 PA pounds.
Attained bloodhound has been known
TO follow the track OF a man on hose

through bushes the animal jumped up
and smeiled at the leaves touched by
TIE feet of the horseman.

FANCY CREAM CHEESES.


-islut ~ III
Dainty little cream cheeses are easily
made at home. Mix Il pint of fresh
cream and with three cups of fresh
milk add a scant Tablespoonful OF
LIQUID rennet. Whip the mixture
thoroughly for three minutes, then let
il stand for three hours. or until it Is
thoroughly cIotted and firm. Turn it
out on a cloth spread over a sieve. to
drain off the greater part of the whey.
After this tie it up in the cloth and
hang it in some cool place to drip like
rot cheese or cottage cheese. When il
has drained in this way for - hours
line little cups holding about a gill each
with sheer buttered muslin. If the cups
ar" perforated it is so much the better.
Season the cheese curds with salt, as
YOU would cottage cheese, and fill tn"
lined cups. Put a slight weight on EACH
one, and in an hour they will be ready
to serve.
For another cheese take equal quaint
ties of milk and cream. and for every
three pints of the mixture. stir in four
drops only of liquid rennet. Beat the
whole together until it is very frothy.
and hen set it away to stand for II
hours. Drain it and tie it in j cloth to
drip as before for - hours. then press
it in cloth into a perforated mold large
enough TO hold il. After two hours take
it out and rub it with salt top and bot
tom. and lay it on a clean board in p
cool, well-aired place. turning it and
sprinkliEg it with salt every p hours.
At the end of two or three days the
cheese will be ready for uSe.-N. Y.

PREACHED TO THE JR. o. U. Am.
Able Sermon Delivered in the Methodist
Episcopal Church.


The Methodist Episcopal church was filled
to its capacity last evening, there being a
special attraction in the form of a sermon for
the benefit Of the Jr o. {. A. NJ. and aux-
iliary societies by the pastor, Rev. Alfred
Heehner who is a member of the former.
In addition to the regular congregation there
were in attendance large delegation from
the Daughters of Liberty and delegations
numbering about two hundred members
from Major Jennings Council No. 367, and
Shenandoah Valley Council No. $50, Junior
Order United American Mechanics. The
pulpit platform was tastefully decorated
with the national coors in addition to large
portraits of Washington, Lincoln and Major
William II. Jennings, after whom one of the
Councils is named
Rev. Heebner made several announce
ments, among them the result Of the colec-
ton at the Union Thanksgiving service for
the Pottsville hospital, which amounted to
s2O1O. The pastor also urged his congrega-
ton to do all they can to assist the Bethany
United Evangelical congregation at its dedi-
cation next Sunday.
The sermon was an able one, filed with
patriotic and christian sentiments and
strongly appealing to higher instincts of the
]
! 2OI5. During his discourse Rev. Heebner
referred briefly to immigration and said that
strangers who come to the shores of America
must not think that Liberty is to be pulled
down from her lofty citadel and construe a
welcome, or the liberty afforded them, as a
license to do as they please. 1t is
the duty of every American citizen to
respect the laws as they exist and
give them an honest construction. II
the laws are defective or improper there
is a place in which they may be changed OF
amended. If the American people intend
that the honor and glory of their nation
shall be perpetuated let it be known every
where that their trust is in God They may
all be for gold, or all for silver, but the nation
as nation must be saved if the people hold
to their faith in God. The pastor referred t.
Abraham Lincoln being found on his knee'
in prayer, appealing to God for Divine direc
tion shortly before the emancipation of the
slaves in the South was proclaimed. The
service closed with the singing of my
Country 'Tis of Thee An anthem by th'
choir was an impressive feature of the even
ng's service.
