THE. CORK VERDICT  As the public are naturally anxious to know by what means the majority of tha coroner's jury arrived at the conclusion that Mr. Henry Bible and Sub-constable Campbell were charceable with manslaughter, the publication of a few of the incidents which took place in the jury-room may be instructive. Before entering into particulars, it is necessary again to state that the jury was composed of fifteen Roman Catholics and eight Prorestants. The moment the room was cleared of the public, one of the fifteen proposed that each juror should write on a slip of paper his opinion " wilful murder," " manslaughter," or " justifiable homicide ;" that the papers should be thrown into a hat, and afterwards assorted by the foreman, and that the majority should bind the rest of the jury. " I beg your pardon," interposed one of the eight, " we shall not slink behind the ballot—all must avow their opinions." "We're fifteen," said the proposer, and we'llhave it if we like l" " I'll take care you shan't," said the other. It was then proposed by one of the eight that they should consider the evidence ; but this would not be permitted by the fifteen, who lustily called out " Poll, poll—we know enough about it." A poll being taken, and no legal result having been arrived at, the coroner was sent for, and the " Wilful Murder" jurors magically jumped round for " Manslaughter." It was then proposed by some of the fifteen that each juror should pledge himself not to disclose what had occurred within doors, but the eight repudiated secrecy, and one of them said, " you'll have to record your names, for you must sign the issue paper or abandon your verdict." This seemed to be a troublesome announcement, which was sought to be got over by one of the fifteen saying, " all must sign it." " I tell you," replied the one of the eight, " that I would suffer my right hand to be cut from my arm before I dipped my pen in ink to perpetrate such an act." " Oh," but rejoined the one of the fifteen, " the law will make you." " Thank God there's no such law," said the one of the eight, " and if there were I would rot in jail rather than be guitty of so much iniquity."—Cork Constitution.  FACTS ABOUT MlLK.—Cream cannot rise through a great depth of milk. If milk is, therefore, desired to retain its cream for a time, it should be put into a deep narrow dish ; and if it be desired to free it most completely of cream it should be poured into a broad flat dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise, and retarded by a depression of temperature. In wet and cold weather the milk is less rich than in dry and warm ; and on that account more cheese is obtained in cold than in warm, though not in thundry weather. The season has its effects—the milk in the spring is supposed to be best for calves, in summer it is best suited for cheese, and in autumn the butter keeping better than that of summer. Cows less frequently milked than others give rich milk, and consequently much better. The morning's milk is richer than the evening's. The last drawn milk of each milking, at all times and seasons, is richer than the first drawn, which is the poorest.
