Sin,—I have been thinking for aomo time onr present method of pressing cheese is very much behind the requirements, necessary for | accomplishing this pnrp >»e, what itoight to be. , Our present presses, for instance, have the , box which holds the screw aet jiermenUy in (the head piece, aud thus causer the cheese to be only in press when tho screw is turned around. This presmre only continue* for a very short time as the cheese shrinks and be­ comes compressed, the screw naturally be­ comes slack and consequently the cheese is at a standstill until aomo one comes and turns around tho screws again, this only continues again for a short time. Tbo Gang Press, which is a very good press indeed, does away to a certain extent with so tnuch of this screw turning as it has only one where there art ten or twelve in the old kind, but it does not cause a lasting and continual pressure any mors than tbo old kind. Wo all know how some years ago, before cheese factories became in fashion, the far­ mers would make a cheese once iu a while, and what kind of presses did they use general­ ly ? They would have a longjpiece of woodfact on end under some thing; pat the cheese that end ; and attach a heavy weight at the other esnsing a pressure, not as our piesses do at present at intervals, but a steady and continual one. Of course we could not apply this cum- bersome way in our factories where we are making not one cheese in a week, but from twenty to thirty per day; but it is this prin- c pie wo want. If this principle was applied to our present presses in a compact and mechanical way would it not le a great ad. vantage to tho cheese and at the some time a great eave to tho factorytnan in time and labor ? I would feel obliged, Mr. Editor, if 1 this subject was dlscassod at the Dairymen’s Convention next week. Tho Jews of llio world number 7,868.447. The national debts of the world now amount to #23,000,000,000. In 1715 they amounted to only $1,500,000,000. In 1815 th* debt of Great Britain amounted to £902,000,000, and in 1875 to £775,000,000, a reduction of over £2,000,000 per annum. The present debt of America is about the sama as that of Great Britain. Hon.

This award has now proved, with interest accu­ mulated in the meantime, to have exceed­ ed the actual J stria go done by a sum of eleven millions of dollars, and this is the surplus Geneva award referred to in tho beginning of this article. Here is a sum awarded for certain damage said to have been done, this sum, after all just claims have been paid in full, proves to be far in excess of the damage for which tho award wm given, tho question which naturally arises is, What ought to be done with this excess f One only answer surely can be given and that is, Return such exacts to the source from which it was obtained. To retain it would certainly not come within the category of sharp practice but of downright dishonesty. Much might be said why, more particularly ia this ease it being the first and only ono of any magni- tade, strict justice should bo administered. This arbitration doubtless was tho means of preventing a terrible and disastrous war aud is a worthy example which might with advantage be followed iu the future by other nations having matters in dispute.

The fol lowing startling declaration is attributed to President Grant, which, if (h r , looks ns if another civil wnr in tbo United States was to be feared:—The World's Wnshiugtrn special says A Western member of Congress asked the President if the reports were true that the Arsenal nt St. Louis had been dismantled. Th* President replied, “Yes, sir, it is true I Did not Buchanan fill the Arsenals of the South during the lost months of bis admin­ istration ? Well, I am going to fill the ar­ senals of tho North daring tho last mouths of my term." A despatch from Madrid states that the Extradition Treaty between Spain and tbo Unitsd States includes crimes oommitted in Cuba and other colonies. Wo trust this will lead to more friendly relations between tho two countries. What, however, would bs the result should the United States de­ mand tho extradition of a guilty, individual1 from Cuba at a time when Spain Lad it not in her power to deliver him owing to tho, rebellion? Would this prove a sufficient reason for tho United States interfering in tho internal Government of Cuba. The dense ignorance displayed by the advocates of this Dunkin Act as to the pre­ visions and powers of the Act is truly la. mouteble. The above letter says jast what Mr. Andrew’s letter says better, and th* reply to one answers both. We earnestly ’ recommend advocates of the Dunkin Act to read the Acte of 1858,1869,1874,1875-6, and 1864, and they will see that the con­ struction we pnt upon th* effect of the en- forcomout of the Dunkin Act in this county is absolutely correct. The Dnnkiu Ast be­ ing an act of the Parliament of Canada, re­ mains unchanged by any law passed by the local legislature, and the moment it is put in forso ia any municipality that moment all octa of the local legislature affecting ths tale of liquor cease to operate in that municipality. To clear away any doubt that might possibly exist on this point, tho 27th section was inserted in tho Croeks Act. That section provides that nothing in the Acts of 1874 or ths Act of Mr. Crooks shall be construed so as affect or impair an? of tho provisions of the Temperance Actof 1854 all of which to far as they are in the power of this Legislature, aux de­ clared TO BB IN FULL FOBCK AND EFFECT." Wo do not protend to be able to tell what Mr. Crooks meant when Lo placed this section in bis bill, bnt we do know what ho says, and the language is so plain that no one can misunderstand it. Is conveys in the plainest possible manner tho fact that nothing had been done by the Ontario Legislature to affect the Dunkin Act in any way whatever, and as ALL it* provis­ ions remain ’’ in full force and effect" the provision permitting msrehauts and traders ' to sell in five gallon quantities must ba operative as soon M the Pankin Bill ' comes into operation in any municipality. 1 But even had section 27 been ommitted ‘ from the Crook* Act, tho effect would have been tbo same ; for the Dominion Act must 1 of necessity over-ride and annul th* provis­ os of any Act of a Local Legislature that conflict with IL A Tribune Washington spacial says j that President Grant contemplates sending (a message to Congress at an early day sag- | getting tho investing of the surplua Geneva ( award, and devoting the interest to the , payment of *nbridie* to American ship ( building. Let n* for a mementlook at the significance of ibis proposition. A few words first ra to the origin of the Geneva award. During the war between the Northern and Southern State* a vessel, the Alabama, left Liverpool ostensibly os a mrrebantman for a-»m* fora gi psrt. When ont at sea she was armed and mu­ nitions of war with a snlfiitaat crew were put on board so likewise with the Florida, These vessels then hoisted the Southern fl MI and scoured th* seas creating im- m«nss damage to Northern shipping. When the war was over the States claimed remuMration from Britain for the damage dore bv those and oilier vessels but mote especially by these. Great Britain refused to aeknnwl* Ige liability on her part poiut- > iug ont tliV it was not in her prwer, iu th* then state of her municipal law*, to hare stopped these vessels fA>m proceeding to sea with th* lame *vi lenee produced that they were intended hr the Southern Coo- > federaey and that when on a futar* ccca- r eion strong enough evidence wa* fortbo’m-i Ing that two Rany< were being built at Meara.

Thirteen convictions for drunkenness in six months in a county where a prohibitory (?) statute is iu force. What a lamentable fach In the County of Oxford during nine months, according to the official re. turns only six conviclwns for drunkenness were made, This enormous disproportion of over two to one in Prince Edwards against Oxford is further aggravated when we take into cccount tho population of the two counties. By th* official census of 1871 wa find the population of Prince Edwards Island was 2.t,836, while Oxford had a population of 43,237, or more than double. These figures prove to ns that for six months whi’e the Dunkin Act was in force in Prince Edwards Island, the con­ victions for drunkenness were, taking pop­ ulation into account, over four times ns great as they have been in Oxford during 1 the past nine months. Let every sober minded, practical man who has a vote to . east for or against ll»e Dunkin By-Law weigh these facte well before exurciring his franchise on Wednesday next. Tho ro­ mantic and enthusiastic supporter of the measure should be careful how ho forces bis Utopian dream upon a community, for while wo admit Hist the crime of intem­ perance and drunkenness a* it now exist* in the county is a crying evil, yet, wo fear, with these facts before us, that the passage of this Bill wonld increase instead of di- ' mimsluug tbo crim* besides liudncing the crimes of deceit, treachery and law-break­ ing to a greater extent than they now ex- 1 ist. Io a rairal point of view, we believe I the Dunkin Act, in its present incomplete form, will bring about a state of thing* far worse than they era at present, and we urge upon all who have the well wishes of th* county *1 hurt, in ■ moral a* well a* a pwjni.irv p nut of view, to cast their vote Bgaiosi the By-Law on tho47th of th* present month.

Wo have en­ deavored to show, that from the nature of Iho Bill which is not, strictly speaking, a prohibitory mcasue, that although liquor will not bo permitted to bo sold in retail quantities, yet it can be sol J by whobsale, and wo agree that those who want liquor, and aro inclined to got drunk will have fa­ cilities for doing so, and will do so to as great if not greater extent than nt tho pre­ sent time.

NU’LDINiH. EAsr blDEipAMES Commodore Vanderbilt died at bi? ™»i- donee in Wash ngton Square, New York, at 11 o'clock on Thursday morning.Cornelius Vanderbilt, like Alexander T.Stewart, was a representative of that class of wealthy meu who have m.tda money by the development of some regular pr<xluc- live business. He was not indebted forany eonsidsrabl* part of hie vast property to Uia rise in real estate iu New York, as were iho Astors and so many other wealthyfamilies there. If be made money by th* rise aud fall of stock it was only iucuhn- tally »ud ua he saw safe opportunity. H* dislinctlv differenced himself from suchmen as Daniel Drew and Jay Gould, and n*ver lost an apportunity to condemn Wall street speculations. “ But you buy and sell stock on tbe street, do you not,Mr. Vanderbilt ?" “ Yra,” was the reply. •• but I pay for what I buy, and only sell* . W V . __a /Ik. not denied by any temperauc* advocate and allot them admit that, standing alone, the Duukin Act permits the unlicensed sale of liquor in tbe quantities specified in the act itself. But they claim that subse­ quent legistation has amended or repealed these objectionable sections. To »eo if this is a fact let ns examine the Statues. It is a wall known fact that no Dominion Statue exist* that in any way affect* tbe _______ ___________________________ Dunkin Act. It rnnii bo to act* of th* I Wared Jiqaar* within th* Pror. of Oot. Ontario Legislature therefore, that Temper- ? anco advocates refer when speaking of amcndmenlt. But the Dunkin Act being i a Statue of Canada, no power but the • House of Commous of tbe Dominion can ’ either amend or repeal any part of it; and , until so amended or repealed the whole Act i remain* of full force, virtue and effect and totally unaffected by any act passed by ] either of tbe Local Legislatures. J For the purpose of argument let us ex- , amine Ibis question from the point of view ' of which Mr. Andrews and other Temper- > ance advocates: That tho Lical Ligis- j latures do posess tbs extraordinary power of revising, amending, and repealing Acts i of the Parliament of Canada, aad inquire ; wether the Ontario legislature has ever ' sought to avail itself of this great power. The license acta ot 1853,1359, referred to by Mr- Andrews, may bo left out of tbe inquiry, as they were repealed in 1871, by th* Act 87 Vie., cap, 82, which repeals “all , former act* aud part* of acts " inconsist­ ent therewith. If thi* repealing clause has any effect whatever on tho Dunkin Act, it must be t* repeal the whole Act ! The Act of 1874 was amended in 1875-5 by 89 Vic., cap. 27, (now called the Crooks Act), and in this amending act the Dunkin Act is for the first and fast time referred to by the Legislature of Ontario; and wo ask tbo people to consider the reasons for it being sp ikenof at all. It wil| bo seen that tho clause in the Act of 1874 was of a most comprehensive character, and might be construed into an attempt to trench upon tho perogtitives of the House of Commons for the Dunkin Act is inconsistent with tho Actof 1874. As tbo Legislature really bad no intention to interfere with matter* beyond their jurisdiction, they took especial care iu tho Crooks Act to disabuse tho public mind on tho subject, and for this purpose section 27 was added. Below wa copy this section verbatim : “ ^7, nothing in tho said recited Act, (1974.) or this Act, shall bo construed to affect or impair any of tb* provision* of “ The Temperance (Dunkin) Act of 1364 ” of tbe lato Province of Canada, all of which, to far at the same are within the jurisdiction of this Legislature, are declared to be in full force and effect; and no tavern or shop license shall be issued or taka effect within any city, town, corpor- ated village or township in Ontario witbin which any by-law for prohibiting tho sale of liquor under the said Act fa in force." Even ifthe Ontario’,Legislature possessed the power to prevent tho unlicensed salo j of liquor under tho Dankiu Aet, tho words wo Lava set in italict in section 27, above, < conclusively prove that it hns not exercised , it in the manner Mr. Crooks’ letter seem* j ; to indicate. There can be no question (that tho whol e of tbo Dunkin Aet wil come into force should this County by-law pass. We therefore ask advocates of tho mess uro to remove tbe consideration of it from the region of sensational romance iu which tbe average temperance orator delight* to dwell, to view it in tbe light of reason and common senre as it is not as they desire it to be, and to treat it as they wonld their own private businesses. Placed in the position of tho liqnor dealers, and willi the present stat* of tb* law, would any body of men hesitate for eno inomout to fight the matter in th* courts against advocates. Crooks, aud the whole Legislature ?" Did we believe that tho effect of tbe Dunkin Act in this county would be for good, the present by-law wonld have no stronger advocate than the Observer ; but believing a* we do that its passage will iiu jmiourly affect tbe mordsof the people by throwing the liquor trade into the hands of a most disreputable class of men, create innumerable low groggeries to replace our present respectable hotels, and will cans* a great waste of time and money in nseless and expensive litigation, we can only ex­ press disapprobation of tbe course now being pursued by temperance men. In eonelusioa we again refer to the main question at issue: Has the Local Legis­ lature* tbe power to amend or repeal Acte of tho Parliament of Canada ? If not, (hen the passage of the present by-law will prove an unmitigated cure* to the County of Oxford by permitting the unli­ censed sale of liquor. But from tbe tenor of Mr. Crooks’ letter we are led to infer that he believe* the Legislature doe* poses* thi* extraordinary power. If it does, then of what ns* fa th* H»ura of Commons? The 1st* Hon, J. H. Cameron often p«b- liely declared that Ontario had no power to deal with this law, and other eminent law­ yer*, and among others, w* believe, on* who now oeoupie* a high ptara on th* bench bare spoken to th* same effect. It fa certainly tbe opinion of Judge Csron, in th* Province of Quebec, who ba* decided appeal esses under the Dinkia Act eon- contrary to tbe riser* of temperane* meu and Mr Crook*.

Thai week. The extreme difference* of , -dpfaion engraflarad by piqne, and the pub-,Ul*ep expression of them bad not aubxided. (rd ¥ w“ believed that the paper of Prof. In ; Arnold upon “Dairy Produota at thbdanntanufal" would provoke the onset Bn* Bare a brief skirmish no atruggle marred tha proccedfcgs. Prof. Arnold’s paper wu * delcription of the dairy building, of the method of award, of the extent of the dis­ play, and a statement of ite practical les­ sons. A large proportion of the paper con- aisted of his official report as uuu of the judges of award. Thia is doubtless the most complete record of tbe dairy exhibi- tron .which hu yet appeared. It shows .that, notwithstanding the extraordinary ducouragementa which impeded the com- xnitiee, tin display wu at least worthy to be compared with that of any other single agricnltMTal product An abstract, pre­ senting thn pointe of Prof, Arnold’s paper with some detail, ia m follows : »»e nzFAunova. With actotomdnlble exertiens money was raised by private Subscription in New York, Vermont, Pennsyteatfia and Ohio, and also \ . by legislative aid in New York; and a model batter and cheese factory with am pie rooms for display, and for a complete outfit of apparatus wu erected at a oast of 110,000, of which 82,009 w«s contributed by ths Canadian government. A description of the building, with whose construction car radars are familiar, followed. Tbe butter and cheese display rooms were fitted with shalving, and the room for butter was supplied with the necessary means of re­ frigeration. Against my protest, and as it proved much to ths injury of tba display of cheese, this precaution against extreme heat was left out of tho annexes where cheese wu to bs shown. Though no positive in­ jury nerasarfly resulted to tho cheese placed in them from this omission, yet in tbe hottest part of the summer the tem­ perature in these rooms could not without refrigeration be prevented from becoming ■toTTiigh to allow of keeping cheese in them more than a short time without hurry­ ing them to premature ripeness and to a doprotiation of value. Dairymen did not dare or could not afford to risk the dangers of long transportatiou by rail and tbe long I carting to and from the dairy building, and therefore tha frequent relays of cheess necessary to keep a continued show were not provided. This workrd a double disad­ vantage. It gave the croakers—always 'too abundant in every public enterprise—a 1 bundle for discouraging exhibits, and tho i remit wu tho cheese display room for tho ' United States wu nearly empty during tho month* of July and August. A part of tbe upper story was occupied with rooms for ^fficers and ccmmitices; a part with a qheap lunch room for dairymen aud others,1 ’ ieh proved to bo a Deeded and valuable try to the department ; leaving about ifrd of the upper part without any 1 use. Tho dairy deportment, like every department in tho groat show, has frwnde and supporters, its troubles and its defamars. In whatever light different parties may view it from their different ■ standing pointe, ft has proved a creditable ■ snfi meceMfal exliibition of dairy products, e< will be eviltent from tho following sum- iry of ite exhibits; NTMMAET OF EXHIBITS. Tin- dixplay of produflta connected with » dairy which were submitted to tbe bee of group four, for examination, were fter, elieexc, condensed Mid pruarved W, butter and cheese coloring, preserved Mwfa, and' reuiet extracts. Of butter nu wen ehowu a total of 291 paolcogee, tfaga total weight of 9,150 pounds. Of ^number then were from the United g r «8 ; P»c9bSm ; weighing 7,051 sqdi. From Canada 28 packages, weigh- and from other sources, lrcn. wvigbing about 850 pounds. w u pmanted fa 149 exhibits, were from the United States, ladr, 10 from other foreign i, including Portugal, the Argentine the Netherlands,Germany, nd Desuiark. Of ilie entire exhl- “ animal odor ” is not confined to the milk ' of the cow. Boms of these oheeiea from tho milk of goata and ewes were made as fur back as 1872 and were still iu an excel­ lent State of preservation, rioh, cloan flavor ed and pelataWa. Cheese from the United States and Canada were mostly ths product of factories. Few of dairy make ware shown from either country. Over 100 awards were recommended for exhibits of cheese. Of these 45 were for the United States, and were distributed among the States in the following order: To New York, 21; Wisconsin, LOt Pennsylvania,8; Ohio, 1. The recommendations for Canadawtrtk-19, and the rest for other countries- CONCLUSIONS Tho speaker then gave a detailed account of the method of award and closed with a summary cf the "•* inforeuccs and Ic&sons from the content al dairy show." Two les­ sons were suggested in relation to butter. With the exception of Canada, the butter from foreign countries came from long dis­ tances. It was necessarily made a long time in advance of its exhibition and its tost by the judges. The greater part of it was uusalted, and to such as received salt at all, it was applied very sparingly. Yet some of these samples were in a fine state of preservation, aud were not at all rancid. Packages of recent make from our country and highly salted to preserve them were hurrying io destruction in a few short weeks. The long keeping of tho fresh but­ ter seems to prove that salt does not pre­ serve butter; but that keeping quality in butter depends more on mQk than on salt. Factory and creamery butter has gener­ ally been regarded inferior to dairy butter. Bui at both the June and October displays Vie most perfect flavor, and tho indications of lbs longest keeping qualitiy were found in the butter of factory make. The samples of butter at this show have thus evidenced Bn important advanoa in this branch of the dairy interest. Tbs cheese exhibits from both coun­ tries in ths October display were generally fine, and attest the superior excellence to which ths factory system is capable of reaching. Finer samples of cheese I have nowhere met with then appeared among them, some being absolutely faultless. The choio .*st had, as far as I could trace, one peculiar feature la their manufacture. Tho whey had been removed from tho curd at the earliest period in manufacturing. This is the essential point in what is styled the Chedder process, and it is one which our dairymen must adopt if they would have the richest and cleanest flavored cheese. Tbs cheese shown by the United States was not very uniform in quality, some of itboing of great excellec-nce, aud some quite ordinary. The cheese of the highest order was confine^ to no particular locality, though our own Slate took the lead in the proportion of such cheese ahovfb. Among the best cheese from the States were sam­ ples from the factories of Dr. L. L. Wight, Whitesboro, N. Y .; E. C. Bice, Fairfield, N. Y.; M. N. Seward, Lake Mills, W is.; and J. G. Holman, Carranuntvillo, Penn., all of which were graded at 9S per cent, of perfection. The best exhibit was shown by C. W. Richardson, of Herkimer, N. Y,, and was graded at 96 per cent The factory cheese from Canada was al­ so quite uneven. Some of it ran very low, and some very high, making the extremes oven further apart than in the cheese from the States. But its average was higher. The Cheddar cheese system, I think from manufacture, is practiced more than with us, and it is to. that fact, I suspect, that the superiority of their cheese is to be ascribed. Tho cheese presented in October by Hon. Thomas Baltantyne, M.P.P., in which this peculiarity of make was most successfully carried out, was the finest of any shown during the entire show, and wu graded at 100. Li was awarded the sweepstake prize offered by the Canadian government. The averages of the October exhibits of cheese were as follows: Canada, 87.86; Herkimer County, 81.76 ; New York State, 79.05 ; United States, 76.82 The paper concluded with some account of the condensed and preserved milk, and the rennets exhibited at the centennial.

You nro the first wo­ man Brian has loved, tlw first my own bard heart has over wnraterf to. He willnever be suspicions of you, as he Las of mo and Michael," she added, half fretfully. .' Ila will always think tho best of you.Good-by? • Good-by, Durens,’ said^Mabol, returning her caress. Thera were more farewells, bnt amidstthem all Michael did not offer to shake hands with tho man wboso life be had coveted. Ho bowed bis head gravely toBrian, and walked away, and the young and confident wife went with him, her hands linked upon bis arm.’ So they pass from your life Mabel, and will shadow it no more, said Brian, after they were gone, * and there is only onoHnlfdsy left to trouble yon? * To trouble me aa long ns I live? shemurmured; • jn*t as ho promised mo atDatchef Bridge? * Yea I am thinking of it,' said Brian. * And os for the facto of the case I wasfairly bewildered in endeavoring to discov­er theta? William Halfday continued ; ' but that Dorcas said Michael were taken np at Bridlington, and Michael had tried tolull you—just like him ; that wretch would kill any body in his tempera I—was suffi­ cient for mo to act upon. I came on atonee, weak as I was, and here I am ; and if yon have got any brandy and water about —half a thimble full—1’11 take it os amercy? Mabel looked toward Brian who noddedhis head. Mr. William Halfday was com­pletely prostrated, and required a stimulant it was evident, and Mabel tendered him aglass of cold brandy and water, which he deank with avidity, and with his teoth rat­tling against the gloss.‘ Thank you very much? ha said giving back the empty glpss ; • I am exceedinglyobliged to you. My gratitude is none the less genuine for bt-ibg a poor dependant on your bounty. And you ato really going toleave us Brian ?* w * The doctor snys so? answered his • The fast arrest connected with a case which threatened to asshtne gimn|io pro­portions and become a cautc eelebri of theDrituh empire, was made in the afternoon Of tho Saturday when Brian Halfday waswaiting patiently to depart from a world of of disappointments, and marvelling at the action, or the want of action, of the exceed­ing slow poison which Michael Sowell had administered to him. Iu bis last moments, , Brian, always of a studious turn of mind,thought it would ba advisable to become aphilosopher. Having settled every detail of his business, made his deposition, talkedto the minister, and eaten a mutton-chop —to the amazement of his doctor, who’ cun? iu white he was picking the bone—het>t himself to study the properties of the poison from the pages of a medical book which Mabel, os ctrrfomras himself, wasenabled to procure for him in the town.He bad found it impossible to gloou any information from the doctor, who was more than usually cautious, even for a doctor, inexpressing an opinion on a case which was becoming the more extraordinary the long­ er it lasted ; and he tat in a dressing-gownbefore the fire endeavoring to solve the mystery for himself. He was of ■ scienti­ fic turn of mind, and thought that heshould be able to discover something pre­ sently. if he bod time, and if Mabel's pre- h iim did no* distract him top much. TheClient would show great irritability, the ok said, under the effects of the poison, mid itwonld bo as well to humor nuy de­cisions with which the patient might bo af­ flicted. ’ JL* delusion evidently was that he w m b*coming rtrongcr, and hence he hadinsisted on golting op nd borrowing a dressing gown for the occasion—all ofwhich eccentricity waa a bad sign, uatewflio antidote, given hours behind time, had • proved a complete and triumphant success.Dr. Borland waa half disposed to believe in tlw efficacy of tho antidote, aad to thankIleavw that bo bad been called in time to he uf service to suffering humanity. HeJmd more than it faint hope, too, thatBrian U«4 not taken a* much poison as his BMier had declared ho had, and that therehad l*eu a emMhlerabte amount of exag­ geration in Uie> matter altogether. Still, there might ensue a terrible and sndden c -Illi**. and It* warned Mabel of thia Mlikdv to occur at any instant; and poor Mabel cat and watched her lover very mra-jowly »s ho bent over his book and made notes on llw margin whh a toad-pencil, and went Hlto snndry algebraic ealcaWi >»«with groat intoutesus. Suddenly b* rinsed lhe Vi'lume with it bang that brought her rational manner f Ite acted. 4 By every ‘ Ho is your father? murmured Mabel and therefore—'‘No fresh promises—no new task beyond your strength—no more mistakes? caied Brian, energetically. ‘ I will not haveyour life devoted to one who has done his best to sbipwn ck yours.. I only ask you to see to him now and then—to make sure hois in good hands—and so to leave him there. This man is deserving of less from yon and must have no more?William Halfday shook with greater force. • I don't know? he said tremulously.* that I ever heard a cruder speech than that—from a man iu your position too? * The Halfday’a must never cross herhappiness again. They havo boon fromfirst to last’ a blight upon her? .muttered Brian. ‘If I could only havo lived tomake amenils!'‘ You have/ answered Mabel earnestly. r If by some miracle this poison really foiled in its effect—'‘ What's that ?' said William Halfday.

Angelo wavered. * It may bo beyond my strength, but Ishould like to bo there? he answered. ‘ You will come—for our sakes ns well as yutir own? said Mahal, who was, however,a littlo nervous of tho experiment which Brian Jj»d suggested. Angelo felt into his own odd,embarrassed manner which had been missing from himfor a long time. It was a good sign, tholovers thought. ‘ Thank you, I—I think I'll come. If I might be allowed to—to give Brian away,I should feel more easy in my mind? he said. * To give Brian away 1' esclaimed Mabel.‘ Oh, I forgot; it’s the giving the brideaway, isn't it?* ho stammered. ’ Well, it's about the same thing, ouly I should have liked to paw Brian over, if only to showthere’s no jealousy left in my heart? ‘ Wouldn’t giving Mabel away ansttef the same end ?’ suggested Brian.‘ Well—yes—but Mabel might not like mo to do that? bo said, looking at her wist­ fully.‘ Aro you not the oldest friend I have inEnglund ?’ asked Mabel.‘Thankyon? Angelo answered. So Angelo Salmon pave the bride away,to the astonishment of many of bis friondr, and was as bravo oud strong as Brian had prophesied that be would bo. He wasproud of his task, too—it was a sign that Mabel had forgiven him completely, and his heart was lighter and not heavier inconsequence. ‘ I give her to ono who will bo strong enough to protect her against tho troublesof this world? ho said at a later hour. * I should have been always too weak for that, I am afraid.”But we are precipitating tho crisis by a few lines, and ere ths curtain is rung down upon our characters, wo would for the Insttime speak of the strange adventures of the money which Mabel Westbrook had brought from America to benefit the Half­days.] It was in Penton, where our story opens , that it closes. Where the shadows beganin the twilight of an April day to steal over the life of Mabel Westbrook, the brighter life commenced and tho daikneas sank backbeyond the hills. It was in the dd.lodgings too, on the Penton Itoa 1, whore Mabel had :taken refuge for a week or two before hermarriage, that Dorcas proved at last that Michael Sewell had bis fils of penitence, and was not so thorough a scamp as everyone acquainted with him was disposed tobelieve, Mabel was alone when Dorcas and her busband called upon her, but Brian appeared before lb# inkrviow was over, fol­lowed by bis father, who was nervous con­cerning tho movements of those four, and did not care to be long out of their sightlest be should drop also from their recol­lections before anything was settled about him or—settled upon him, Dorcas was looking bright and prettyagain. Her husband hod made large prom­ ises of amendment, and spoken of the les­ son in life which had been taught him byadversity. He bed escaped hanging by a •• fluke? and he was young enough to value lifo, aud shrewd enough to see how cuefalse step had nearly swept him from it. How time would work on such a character as this, Brian could not guess. Ho wasnot particularly sanguine; but then he wns always skeptieal, and, iu Dorcas said with n sigh, he had never liked Michael, nr soonhim at bis best. Having seen MichaelSewell at his worst had been quite enough for Brian Halfday.* 1 havo brought Michael here to ai k your pardon for all the trouble aud anxiety he has caused you?

Tints adjured, Michael Sewell stepped forward and delivered bis oration in hisusuil abrupt way, while Dorcas sat down aud regarded him admiringly. It was in the middle of the speech that Brian andbis father entered and begged him to con­ tinue, and not to consider their presence as an interruption, and Michael Sewell went off, after a pause, again.* 1 was saying, Brian be saiff towur hero, by way of explaining the preltorinuy pointe of bis address which Brian had notboard,1 that I am a creature of impulse, and a bit of a fool, rash, and headlong, and all that, and that God knows I bare suffer­ed for it as much as any man—and been us K-nry afterward? * I am glad to boar you are sorry? saidBrian dryly, ‘AU!—and look here; I am going to prore that I am sorry.

I hiul been afraid of her and her moods for the last four days, and when she told mi sullenlyshe did not think she should live much longer, and I fonud out she was always carrying a vial with her, unh night, whenshe was aelecn, I emptied it of its contents, and filled it with water instead? ‘.Thank Heaven I’ cried Mabel.‘ Amen I’ said Brian; aud then the loversforgot present company, and embraced each other from sheer excess of joy, while Wil­ liam Halfday regarded them with aston­ishment, and seemed even a little shocked. * You will excuse us? said Brian,’ after a while.

There was a grand unlocking of police cells, and a grand precesriou therefrom, Michael Sewell and Dorcas, Augelo and hisindignant father, and the captain of the Mary Gray—the latter vowing that ha would make a ease of damages for his de­tention, but exceedingly glad, neverthsless, that be hail got so well out of » tiouble-some'pfece of businees. Concerning the skirmish between Angelo and Brian in thtf boat, that forever remained a mystery tothose not deeply concerned. Angelo was silent, and Brian said, laughingly to a fewwho were iuqnuilive, that when he got bet­ter ho should consider the practicability oftaking out a summons for the assault, only,unfortunately, ho had no witnesses to sup­ port the charge. To Aage'o he was aboveall jesting. The love of this weak-mindedyoung fello^ras to bo respactod for all time, even if hi* jealousy was to be de­plored. . Angelo had sobered down and become a grove and thoughtful man. Eccentricitybad died out with his one viol*nt dash nt revenge. The rivals had become friends, and Angelo was grateful that Brian’s lifehad been spared. The clergyman’s son was not of the staff that malefactors aremade, and he had approached so closely tothe verg# of crime that to be saved at the eleventh hour was to render him a strongerand a better man henceforth. ‘ You will not desert us, Angelo ?’ said Briau to him one day, wlnn there was arumor of the date being fixed for Brian’s marriage with Mabel; ‘ yon will show your YOU WILL S A V E m o : By BUYING FTTBNIT1 Thu pleasant town of Bridlfagion had availed itself of ft* chance of a sensation,and jwac. Stirred to tho depths by all tbe •lernenU of mystery and romance withwhich’ the case of Brian Halfday was sur- rvnnded. Twelve hours from the arrival cf the Mary Gray of Sunderland fa theharbor of Bridlington ull Yorkshire was talking of the story, exaggerating detail* aud amplifying facte, after the general fash- i ■»-------------------»--------•ion. Love and jealousy were at the buttom < bat 1 can t reconcile my of it, and that rendered the narrative moreinteroatiug, cnlminatfag, a* it saomedf in the murder, or the ntteniptod murder, of toe principal character. Who was in love,who had been jealous, who was going to Bic, was not particularly clear to the out­ siders ; bnt thb local papers would have their records presently, and public curios­ity would be satirfied. Meanwhile there were a few incidents for hungry gousipsrsto dwell upon—a ship leaving Scarboroughiu a storm in order co carry away one of the rivals, or ths lady, or both; a run forBridlington ; a tragedy by the way; a man borne down the quay on a Utter, with a crowd of excited ssflafafollowing; a woman-waiting fof- the body; another woman and her Jfatsband and the captain of the Mary Gray banded over to th# police ; the sonof a clergyman in Pen tonshire mixed up fa the affair, aud placed under arrest— sorely these were sufficient items of sensn- , tion for the vulgar, aud even the highlygenteel to speculate with, until the truth - should ahfao forth fa tho veraeiousness oflire daily prera. It was known iu Bridlington before mid­day that the depositions of the victim had been taken by a duly qualified jurtico of the peace, aud that ouo individual, over-borne by remorse, or to mro the time of the authorities, had already confessed to that which, under the circumstances, i:!was extremely difficult for him to deny. MichaelSewell, in fact, was superlatively penitent, nu admirable specimc n of a min who wassorry for all tire wrong he had Committed. He pleaded frffpulso, a sudden lit of temp- FnTiuri, a crime without a method in it; he ww ready to plead anything that wouldMet him iu a better light before his fellow- enmturcs than that of a deliberate, cold­blooded Jp.iis.-mrr. He could not nffinn tooquickly and too emphatically that ho never meant to do it, and that before he thoughtIto hud done it ho hail rant life wife inliiste to tho reseno. He told this, and a great deal more thin this to a solicitor who promised to take his case in hand ; but thewhole affair was inextricably involved, and neither bo nor tho lawyer could see how it would end. Everybody was mixed up in itiu so remark'-blo a manner, that there seemed as many conspirators iu tbe bit,!- iicss as in tbe Powder Plat against KingJames of sacred memory. • Tho police arrived at tho conclusion that there was a groat deal in it also, and thatthey should como at it presonlly—which,to savo time wo may awert at once, they ftever did. They were persevering and en­ergetic iu a cause that was hopeless fromth# first, and what they lacked iu compre­hension, they made np in vigilence. They arrested everybody on suspicion, havingfirst talked tho county magistrates into if- utiug warrants for everybody's apprehension They saw a ma’efactor or a conspirat <r ineach man or womtn connected with the poisoner or tlw poisoned, and were half disposed to believe that a Fenian conspir­acy was at the bottom of tho whole nffah. They respected neither place nor person, even the Reverend Gregory Salmon, turn­ing up at Bridlington, was placed underarrest, bis actions having been si if jnl nr on the preceding day at ibo Mastodon Hotel,and ft being incontestably proved tlmt be was aware of his son's attack on Brian Halfday, and had been hoard on tbe plat­ form of the railway station at Scarboroughimploring bis sou to bo cautious fa the matter for his own sake and the family's.

Having, during the last fire year* sent ont from the Ingersoll High School about thirty teachers, of whom many arc still engaged in teaching in tho County. I take the liberty of calling tho attention of second elate candi­ dates to matters of the greatest interest, to themselves, and to the cause of eduction in this county. The fact that to many candidates hare failed to take second class eertificates at the expiration of third class, reveals the necessity of finding a remedy for these discouraging features, if the experience gained during two or three yean teaching is to be retained to the profession, and if a higher stand is to be taken by those who have become teachers. To prepare for seoond class during tho ac­ tive duties of the school has been found very discouraging, unless a thorough foundation were laid before entering into the work. Tho want of scholarship manifesto itself more par­ ticularly in such subjects as English and history,algebra and natural philosophy, where the aid of a practical and experienced teacher is indispensable. Another discouraging future to third class tuckers n the failure, that in a large majority of cases has attended the efforts of those who have attended the Normal School. This ha* arisen from the too low scholarship obtained before entering, and not understanding that the Normal School is an institution not so much designed to bo educative an it is a school for training and inculcating tho principles of teaching. The only institutions in the country Assign­ ed to supply ttys want are our high schools. The last revision of the High School pro gramme has had thia one object in view, the make thorough preparation tor their exam­ inations.

A paper oti tlie subject of" Application of Heat in the Dairy,’* prepared by Mr. A.L. Fish, of Cedarville, N.Y., was read, in the absence of the writer, by Prof. Arnold.Prof. Arn dd read a paper on the subject,entitled " Western Butter Maker*," by Mr. J >hn Stewart, of Manchester, Iowa. The writer first referred to tho prejudice whichhad so long prevailed in the enst against western butter. lie maintained that nothern Illinuix. Iowa, and Southern Wis­consin wore in soil, water, elimtte, and atmosphere well adopted to buiter making, and that the prairie entases of the Westproduced a quality of that article which could be preserved longer than that made iu the East.At five o’clock the Convention adjourned until seven. EVENING SESSION. Tho Convsntion re-asscmblol at seven o’clock. THE DAIRY AT THE CENTENNIAL. Prof. Arnold delivered an address on the subject of the " Dairy at the Centennial.” He begau by remarking upon the commend-.able exvrtious which had bceu made to se­ cure the erection of a suitable binding for the exhibition of dairy products at the Cen­ tennial, and which had resulted in tho con­struction on the grounds of a model butter and cheese factory with a complete ontfi1 ofapparatus necessary for the manufacture of both butter and cheese, and ample room for their display. The cost ol the structure was $10,000, of which amount th* CanadianGovernment had contributed $2,000. Af­ ter giving its dimensions and interior ar­ rangement, he remarked that while theroom for the display of batter was fitted up with tbo necessary means of refrigeration, that for cheese was minus this precaution,notwithstanding his protest, and in direct violation of a pledge made by D. L. Pope, chairman of tha Committee. In the hottestpart of tho summer this omisskn had had a bad effect upon the cheese exhibited. This building had not been finished in time to receive many of the foreign exhibits, whichwere located as well as possible in the Air rieultural Hall and elsewhere on the grounds. The Dairy Department had on the wh deproved to be a creditable aud successful ex- hibitian of dairy products. The display of products connected with the dairy whichwere submitted to the judges of group four for examination comprised butter, cneese, condensed and preserved milk, and butter­coinring. cheese-coloring, preserved rennets and rennet extracts. Of butter there wereshown a total of 292 packages, having ntotal weight of 9,150 pounds. Of this num­ ber 226 packages, weighing 7.051 pounds were from the United States ; 23 packagesweighing 1,749 pounds were from Canada; and 42 packager weighing about 850 poundswore from other countries. This amuiut was presented in 149 exhibits, of which 123 were from the United States, 16 fre.n Can­ada and 10 from other countries, including Portugal, the Argentine Republic, Brazil, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Den­ mark. There were 81 awards for exhibit­ions of butter reocommended by the Com­ mittee with which he (Prof. Arnold) wasconnected 22 of which were for exhibits from the United States, five for Canada, and one each for Portugal, the NetherlandsGermany, and Denmark. The display of clu .-ae was much larger than that of butter. There were from the United State* 1.012packngMi weighing over 26 tout; from Can­ ada, 1003 paokagee, weiglring over 29 tons;from other conntrira 65 packages, estimated nt 500 pounds. There were from Portugal, the Argentine Republic, the Netherianda,Brazil, Victoria, Italy, Norway Turkey, France, and England.The cheeae from tha United Statre and Canada wm m islly the product of fretaries. Over 100 awards ware recommended forexbibita of dieeee. Of there 45 ware for the United State*, 49 far Canada, aud the remainder for other countries. Prot Ar-: no|d then eave an explanation ef the troth- , od adopted in yidging butter and eh<-eae.A scale ef p inta was prepared, to bo ratal by number** ths sum of whoa*! numerical value should be iu each ease 10J.

Prof. Arnold explained and illustrat­ ed bow by means r.f this arrangement cfqualities the judging of b>lh cheese and butter could ba effected with the utmost exactness. In eases whore very close <lis-crimmination was required a re-exnmina- tinn was made. Tho exbfltita were known only by their numtero, the names of own­ers and the places of production being keptout of sight. From first to last tho judge* had aimed nt fairness and accuracy. If mistakes bad been made they consoledthemselves with tb» reflection that in no department of the Centennial shew bad awards been mare carefully nr justly madethan in the Dairy De; artment. Prof, Ar- n»ld tl.e i n f ired to some interesting sam­ ples of condensed and preserved milk whichhad been examined aud gave an abstract frotp a pnnsr read by Prof. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass., at the meeting of theDairymen’s Association in the Judge* Hall, giving a history of the efforts made in past years to condense and preserve milk. Oneincident related in the paper is worthy of mention, and that is that samples of dry, solid milk prepared for Dr. Kano’s explor­ing expedition in 1856 were shown at the Centennial and wero still sound and sweet. Professor Arnold remarked that one moreadvance in the art was still much needed to cheapen this product and give a greater utility, and Hint wx* some mode by whichmilk could b» condensed in smaller quan­tities without increasing the cost. The Prof, then referred to a new inven­ tion in tho way of batter-coloring whiohthe judges recommended to th" atle.Ainn of dairyman namely, tho preparation of the ex r <ct of annatto in oil by a firm inLit Lie Falls, N. Y.. by which tho alkilina effect of the o^l preparation was obviated. One very useful sample of rennet extract was presented from Copenhagen Denmark.It contained only tho active agency of tha rennet so concentrated that nn« poundwould coxgulate 1,000 pounds of m’lk. It* preparation was kept a sacra’, but lie (Prof. Arnn'd) was experimenting, i i connectionwith Professor Caldwell, of Cornell Univer- lity. and would in the spring present to Am.'rican and Canadian dairvmen the shape of nn extract equal to the Danidiarticle. 1h speaker then nf-n a l to some lesson* which were to be learned from the dairy show. Thn only article from which the amount exhibited was a larger fractionof the total annual production than butterwas tobacco and the show conld not there- fore be regarded n* a failure except by afew cronkers. The fact that while recent­ ly made and salted samples of butter from tho United States were hurrying to <le«.traction, others from differentconntrics to which salt bad Icon sparingly nppl’el. and which had been m ule a long time previousto tho Exhibition, went to show that thokeening of butter Amended mnro on tho make than on thn salt. As b >th the June and October display* the factory-made but­ter hail the most perfect fl ivnr, nnd gave indication* of the longest keeping quality.The professor r< fo red to the general dis­ play of Canadian butter, an<l s ii<l that it did not display that c ire in manufacturewhich was essential to the production of a co >d article. In the Juno display of cliei s t there appeared «omo fi io samples of finemade from tbo milk ot cows fed some on liuy nnd others ou grass, demonstrating that it was possible, even under what was usually considered nd verse circumstances, to produce goods of a high quality. Thegreat bulk of what was called hay cheese was not, however, particularly fine. The cheese exhibits from both countries in theOctober display wore generally fine, and than some <>f them ho had never seen finer anywhere. They were absolutely faultless.The very bi s had one pscnli-ir feature in their manufacture, nnd that was that those in which the flavor was the most pure and nutty, nnd which appeared the richest nndmost m nty, had the whey removed from the curd at tho earliest period. This was (he essential p nut iu what was termed thoCheddar proc?**, Tho cheese shown by the United State* wa* not very uniform in quality, and tho same was true of theCanadian exhibits. Canada’* average, ho woven was higher than that of the United State*. This superiorly lie attributed to the fact tbnt the Cheddar system wa* prac­tised more in Canada than ia ths United States, The cheese presented in Octoberby Thomas Ballantyno, M. P. P., ot Strat­ford, in which this peculiarity of make was most snscessfiilly carried ont, was the fin- est shown during the exhibition, and wasgraded nt 100 plus. To it was awarded tbo sweepstake prize for best Canadian cheese. (Applause.) The October exhibits of Mr.D. Chalme.ro a id Mr. Al< x. McKenzie <lif. fared but little from ths best. Toe per­ centage of perfection in the October exhib­its of cheese from the individnl Staten, aud the United States collectively and Canada oollcctive’.y were ns follow*Connecticut,50 per cent.; Ohio, 60 ; Wisconsin. 76 ; United States, 76.82; Nav York, 79-05; Pennsylvania, 83.22; Canada, 87.86.(Loud Applause,) Prof. Arnold said thatin a comparison between the exhibits of different States and countries much depend, ed ou whether the sample* were care­fully selected or sent at random. Mr. Caiswell said that the latter was thocase with Canadian cheese.Prof. Arnold »»id that then he had to ad­ mit that the Canadians ha l beaten the Amer­ican* in a fair and square competition. (Loudapplause.)Hon. Harris Lewis congratulate I the Canadian* on their aucces*, and said thatthough h* was pretty well pleased that theyhad coma off an well, he would have felt cou- aiderably better if they bad jast alios «dHerkimer Co, choose togjtahaal of them.(Laughter.) A abort diacussion took place oa the merit*of Wilkaou's sab-earth duct for cooling the curing rooms of dairies, from which it appear­ed that dairymeh differed to its merit*. Itw*a generally believed that it* principle wm correct, though it had not yet been workedout to perfection.Mr. Caaswell inquired about certain articlesin the newspaper* written by one Oliver, who charged that there had been a dairy ring atthe Centennial. H> n. Mr. Lewi* laid that Wilkinson, thsinfeator at the sub earth duct, was on* of thMe at the bottom of that chsrgn, and hadbeen incited to make such accueation becauseth* Executive Committee ol the American ■ample* of batter at the Centennial bad beenspo led by neglect to cleanse tbs packages in this way. A good quality of salt was awe animportant item.On motion of Mr. Gen. Hamilton, of Cromarty, seconded by Mr. Hopkins,of Dene ham, a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered Prof.Arnold for his address.The Committee on the order of businesshavir g announced programme for to-morrow,The Convention adjourned at 10 o'clock.

Canadian Cheese at the Centcantal. A COMTARATTV1 STATEMENT. F or T hirty Day s for Cash. ALL WINTER GOODS Prof. Arnold, of Cornell University, N.Y., one of the jurors on dairy products at the (Antennial, in an address at the New York State Dairymen's Association, Elmira, test week, thus sperice of the cbeeso display at the Centennial: The factory cheese from Canada was also quite uneven. Some of it ran very high, and some very low, makiug the extremes qyen further apart th. n in the cheese from the States. But its averajp was higher. The Cheddar cheese system, I think from what I have learned this summer of »'M manufacture, is practised more than with us, and it is to that fact, I suspect, that the superiority of the cheese is to be ascribed. The cheese pre­ sented in October by Mr. Ballantync, M.P.P., in which this peculiarity of make was most successfully carried ont, was the finest of any shown daring the entire show, and was grat­ ed at 101. It was awarded the sweepstake prize offered by tho Canadian Government. The averages of the October exhibits of cheese were as follows : Canada, 87.3G : Herkimer county, 81.76; New York State, 7103 ; Unit- ed States, 76.82, INGERSOLL MARKETS. Reported by J. M.
