Last week neglected to mention the burn ing of factory building near the Terryville depot, on Wednesday evening, March 26th The night being dark, the cloudy sky was il- lumed with an awful splendor The brass mill gong in Thomaston blew, it evidently being thought that the fire was in Or near Plymouth Center. Said factory was erected about the year 1S5O-perhaps year or 80 later-and was used some time for the manufacture of clocks Subsequently it was occupied for carrying on various other kinds of business This building originally-and suppose at the time of it's destruction-contained great curiosity in the shape of an immense water-wheel. forty feet in diameter. Standing at it's axle, with twenty feet of the great arms stretching out to the right to the left, above, and below, the scene presented was very intereresting and striking one. Although seemingly revolving with moderate speed, there was tremendous pow CT, majesty, and grandeur attaching to it, which one could not easily forget. It was one of the prominent sights of lifetime.

In the range of mountains following to the southeast of Castle Dome, located about nine miles from the center of the galena district is the Montezuma District, where are located the copper mines of the Ellen Gowan Mining Company. This company has secured six different ledges, and have, within the past six months, pros pected them to such an extent as to en- courage them to make further and perma- nent developments. The gangue of the velns is quartz and calc-spar, carrying oxide and silicate of copper with gold and silver. From one of the veins some very handsome and valuable specimens have l beeen taken, showing considerable native gold attached 10 the oxide of copper. The last shipment of ore proved to be very high grade in gold, silver and copper The veins have all the characteristics of true Yelns,and being situated in the same range | of mountains as the argentiferous galena mines tend to show that the whole range

 Railroad, being able to deliver their ore: in San Francisco markets at very low rate-Bulletin.

WE have interviewed the agent here .oi the Yuma and Tucson stage line on the subject of improved accomodations for travellers, ana are gratified to find that several important changes are being made. Having ridden from Florence to Maricopa Wells in one of tie new swell-bodied coaches we can testify to their ease and comfort. These coaches are now being run on one side of the line from here to Maricopa, and on both sides from there to Florence. Next week the agent expects 10 move his office and all the stock out to the new railroad station at Gila. This rhovc will enable several four. horse teams now running from here to Gila to be moved out over the line, thus giving stock enough to draw the new coaches on both sides of the lire as far Florence, anyhow; and pos, sibly to Tucson.

In an extended argument as 10 the
desirability Of farmers sons sticking to
the farm, the Cincinnati Commercial
observes that there is feature in this
matter of sons following the calling Of
their fathers that is not sufficiently re-
garded.


The calling OF the father may rise to
a higher dignity when the sons adopt
the business, thoroughly learn it, and
zealously and proudly pursue it. Then
the accumulated reputation, capital and
business Of the parent can be inherited
and preserved by the sons. Again, it is
a law Of nature that holds good in all
the animal kingdom, that aptness for
any business may be inherited, or may
be bred, as we say of stock. The great
desideratum in developing race Of
troiters is to insure an aptness to trot.
And this comes not from stock that has
habitually been used for the draught or
chase or race course. II the dam trots
and the sire trots we do not expect the
offspring to be running horse. The
old Spartans understood this law Of de-
veloping an aptness for given calling
in the children. The Germans OF olden
times developed q race Of warriors on
the same principle. The law Of heredi-
ty is so broad and so powerful in its in.
tluence that it extends not only to color
and form Of our race, but it extends to
the temperament and even to the tastes.
The taste, though like the muscle and
reasoning faculties, may be improved by
education. Still the taste for and apt
ness for any calling may be increased
from generation to generation.


Then, il we are to reach the highest
development as a race Of farmers, we
must expect it through the line OF de-
scent. The son must inherit the fitness
of the father, and take up the calling and
busi cess where he left off, and his son
after him, and so on. When this shall
become the custom in our farming fami-
lies, then shall we see greater stability
in society and higher type of civiliza-
ton. Every parent has the chief power
10 bring this work about. The very in
dependence of the farmers life is to be
the germ which develops a race that
can not be other than an independent
people. Our nation is to achieve its
greatness in the development of agricul-
ture. Its power at home and abroad lis
to be established and held through the
arts Of husbandry, practiced by a skill
full and virtuous race of farmers. All
then that can be done by the state or
family to ennoble and to dignity the
calling, and to entail its blessings and
influence from father to son, will add to
the stability and grandeur of the nation.

The liking for butter that contains O
very small percentage of salt is taste
that is rapidly growing in this country,
and one which daiIymen would do well
TO cater to. OF course, as butter OF this
description will not bear long keeping,
it must Of necessity command higher
price than that which can be held TO
meet the demands Of the market. On
this account its manufacture will ordi.
narily be restricted to dairies that are
situated within a relative short distance
Of certain great centers OF consumps

butter, due. doubtless, TO our large Ger.
man and French population, is very
great, but as mentioned above, the lik-
ing for this article is rapidly growing
among those with whom the taste is not
an inherited one. Indeed, it only needs
short soiourn in an inland town or on
farm in this country to become aware
Of the strong liking that exists for but
ter Of an exceedingly salt variety
There may be not the least difficulty in
obtaining butter that is fresh as regards
time, but the landlady of a village
boarding house, or the wife of farmer,
can not understand the liking that her
guests have for what to her is an insipid
article OF food. Another circumstance
that must always add to the cost of but
ter with which little or no salt has been
worked, is the fact that a much greater
degree of care is required in its making.
Salt, when plentifully used, is a notori-
GUS disguiser of imperiections, while,
on the other hand, impurities can be
detected in strictly unsalted butter that
are not apparent in the milk. For this
reason the utmost cleanliness in the
manufacture is necessary, and though
what is known as a naturally cold hand
for touching butter is often spoken Of
as highly desirable, it is much better to
have it made in such manner that di-
rect contact with the hand is unneces-
sary. A device, which seems to have
originated in Holstein, has recently
been introduced into one or two of the
fancy dairies in the State of Massachu.

its good qualities for some little time.
