Farrand, of Morristown, writes that intending to adopt the deep pans or pails for his whole dairy, he engaged a supply, which reached him when in so great a hurrv in haying that only one-half of the pails were set, concAnnanflw millr r\f nrcMr AfUov /^ovr Dt VI HCUliJ IIUv XXI11IX VI C T Ci f VVU^i U?J bad to be put in the old-fashioned pans. His wife suggested that the cream be kept separate to see which produced the most butter. The cream from the pans made the most butter the first three days, when the following three experiments were made: Weighed the milk, set one day in pails, the next day in pans, and so on for six days; then churned, and weighed the butter. In the second trial there was one more morning's than night's milking; in the third, one more night's than morning's milk. The depth of the milk in the pails in the first two trials was from seven to ten inches; in the third from ten to twelve; and in the pans from two to two and one-half. The temperature of the air was generally from 56 degrees to 70 degrees; that of the water from 60 degrees to 66 degrees; when the air was above 60 degrees we oooled the milk set in pans before setting in the milkroom. We skimmed the milk as soon us it began to change, which was in about forty-eight hours with the pails, and thirty-six with the pans. To make a pound of butter it took in first trial: with pails, 27 pounds of milk; with pans, 25 pounds. In the second trial: with pails, 25 pounds 13 ounces; with pans, 21 pounds 10 ounces. In the third trial: with pails, 27 pounds 13 ounces; with pans, 25 pounds 2 ounoes. These trials were made in August, commencing the 10th. Rlng-Bone. "G. H. D." asks: "Is there a cure nv ramnHv fnr o rinrr.Vinnn nn o rnnnfr V* IVVUV^?J *v* M AUIK VVUV VM Ml JVUUQ horse, that is bnt little lame frem it now, without cutting or disfiguring the foot?" Reply.?Ringbone does not always oause lameness. It is generally constitutional, and is an effort of nature to strengthen a weak postern joint by Betting up an additional bony growth, or by converting the elastic "cartilages of the foot into a rigid inelastic mass, better ablo to resist the hard work with which the joint is otherwise incapable of sustaining. In this case, where the subject is a young horse, much may probably be done. First, all heat and inflammation of the parts should be removed by applications of cold water with cold wet cloths wrapped around the joints for a few days, removing them at night. Then a salve of half an ounce of lard with half a drachm of biniodide of mercury should be rubbed upon the ring-bone for ten minutes. The horse's head should be tied up for 60vera i nours, mat ne may not bite tne part, (the salve is poisonous.) The next day the part should be washed with warm water and soap, and each day for a week clean lard should be applied. Afterward the treatment should be repeated once more. Fultz Wheat. The Department of Agriculture for August and September gives us some experiments in wheat growing, both in Pennsylvania and in Yates Co., N. Y., wherein of twelve varieties planted the Fultz wheat yielded the most straw and much the Jaigest yield of wheat. The manager of the Eastern Pennsylvania Agricultural College Farm says : "From the experiments of the two past seasons I advise farmers to try the Fultz wheat, just enough at leust to show its suitability to their soil and climate. With us it hasproved a hardy, btifl'-strawed, early, and productive wheat?grain small, but plump. The Rogers is also good, not so productive nr earlvoc ilva Vnlfy Vtnf a finor fit!ill 1 fv V* veil IJ ?tJ luv JL UtVU) WVIV M ?>nv* *^ ****** w?7 of wheat, and would probably yield w?-ll on st rong, highly manured ground." The Fultz is a bald or smooth wheat. In Yates county it yielded in an experimental plot thirty-fold on the seed sown, while the Tread well, 60wu the same day, yielded but ten-fold on the soed and was two weeks later in ripening. Squire Richards. A man seventy-six years oli3> familiarly known in Memphis as " Squire Richards," one of the most efficient of the workers who waited upon the victims of yellow fever, kas fallen a victim to it himself. The Memphis Appeal says: From the first of the fever he went about doing good, and till the past few days might have been met with moving through the infected district as vigorously as his condition would admit, visiting first one aud then another of his friends, and carrying consolation to their families nnd comforts to their sick. His was a noble, a pure, a good example. Old, and so crippled as to be compelled to use crutches, he yet managed to go about among those stricken with the fever, and nurse and console them. Always an example as a good, faithful neighlior aud citizen, ho would not, though he might have found good excuse in his extreme old age and gathering infirmities, leave the people he had served 60 well in the dire extremity of a terrible epidemic. A Legal Question. We clip the following from the Pitts| burg Law Adviser, as it will be of in| terest to all, in a legal point of view:? Several weeks prior to the suspension of Jay Cooke A Co., a party deposited with them a certain amount of money, for which a certificate of deposit was given "payable on return of this certificate with 6 per cent, interest." The ! depositor presented it at a oountry National Bank, received the amount in currency and indorsed the certificate. The bank held the certificate as an interest fund without presentation until subsequent to the suspension of the firm alluded to. Was the bank, in order to hold the indorser responsible, chlitredto nresent the certificate at once. or was it optional with the bank ? The question whether the bank should have, at once, presented the certificate of deposit in order to hold the indorser, is a secondary one. The main question is whether the indorser is at all liable; that is, whether his signature amounted to .an indorsement with all its consequences, or whether it was merely an assignment of his right to the money deposited. This is answered by finding whether a certificate of deposit is negotiable or not. This has Deen decided in tho negative in Pennsylvania, in Patterson vs. Poindexter 6 W. 4 8. 227 (and approved in Charnley vs. Dulles, 8 W. & S. 353). In that case a certificate of deposit was issued by the Mississippi Union Bank of Jackson, Miss., and read as follows : "I hereby certify that C. S. Tarply has deposited in this bank, payable twelve months from 1st of May, 1839, with five per cent interest till due, per annum, three thousand siz hundred and ninety-one dollars and sixty three cents, for use of It Patterson & Co., and payable only to their order upon the return of this certificate." Signed, C. W. Clifton, Ass. Cashier, The indorsement was: Pay Edward York, Esq., or order It B. Patterson & Co., without recourse to me. E. Yobke. Chief-Justice Gibson deoided that the instrument was net a promissory note, that " for purposes of transfer merely it was payable to order; for purposes of commercial responsibility, it was not negotiable." But " that it was a special agreement to pay the deposit to anv one who should present the certificate and the depositor's order." The contents of the certificate in this case not being given full, we have Sioted literally tne one upon which e above decision is based, but believe that, from the few words given in the questions, " payable on return of this certificate with 6 per cent, interest," there is not much, n any, ainerence between them ; and in that case the indorser is not liable, but the bank has to suffer the loss, if any. As the question may possibly now arise also In other localities, we may state that the above is not the general law of this country. In Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, New York, California and Iowa, it has been decided that a certificate of deposit is in effect a promissory note, and accordingly, an indorser of such instrument in these States would be liable. This question, as far as we know, has not been deoided in Virginia or W. Virginia, but we think that, should such case come before their courts, they will follow the Pennsylvania decision, as it stands more to reason, to construe a certificate of deposit &s a special contract, than to class it :is a promissory note, it wanting the essential feature of a promissory note?a direct and unqualified promise to pay. Fretful Babies. Babies often cry, says an exchange, without any apparent reason; but a mother can usually discover a reason if she stops to think about it; and it is worth while stopping to think about, no matter if the house-work or sewing be delayed in consequence. Perhaps she hae eaten something which disagrees with its stomach ; perhaps it is thirsty, foi little babies are often thirsty, and will drink a teaspoonfnl of cold water with the greatest "eagerness, and be quiel and satisfied after it. Perhaps its lit' tie sock is tied up too tightly, as my baby's was the other day. I found e deep red mark around her little ankle, which at once explained her fretfulness. More likelv than anything else, th< flannel band around its bowels?if happily one is there?or its skirt band is pinned too tightly. I know a baby who has cried a great deal sine? its birth. I think the chief cause of it is because he has alwayt been dressed too tightly. The mother said to me one ofternoon, wher the ohild was so cross she hardly knew what to do, " I've a great mind to undress him and put on his night-gown lie is always real good then." So she did, and he commenced to be good a< once. Mothers should search for all possible causes when their babies gel fretful. They should not be too ready to attribute their crying to nervous temperament or to hunger, for it is more likely to bo caused by the pricl of a pin or an over-fed stomach thai either. Sepulchral Sympathy. A Canadian paper notes that a curioui circumstance is related of the lad Kings ton, who lost an arm recently by i thrashing machine in Adelaide. It ap pears that subsequently to the amputa tion, and the limb having been buried he complained that his hund was cramp ed, causing him extreme pain, and de sired the arm to be disinterred. No at 1 tention, however, was paid to the re quest for some time, but the boy stil 1 persisted, asserting that if the arm wai not raised he would not recover. Thi li^ib was accordingly disinterred, an< the ?and found to be firmly shut to gether. During the operation of open ing the hand the patient evinced grea agony, and altervrartlV' declared that h< felt relieved of the son **tion of cram] from which he appeared to suffer s< ' acutely. The circumstance if true, sayi the Strathroy Dispatch, is certainly i curious one; not more so, howe yer, thai many others in the reoords of n?e<bca experience. Dueling in Pennsylvania?Thi Law.?The article on dueling in the Pennsylvania Constitutional Conven ' tion was passed in this form : "Anj person who shall fight a duel or senc a challenge for that purpose, or be aid j er or abettor in fighting a duel, shall b< deprived of the right of holding anj office of honor or profit in this State, anc j may be otherwise punished as shall b< I prescribed by law. Guy Fawkes. At midnight, on the 5th of Novem ber, in the year of grace one thousand six hundred and five, Guido Fawkes "gentleman," was discovered, " bootee and spurred," in the vicinity of St Stephen's Chapel, having on his persoi "three matches, a tinder box, and i dark lantern;" and purposing, bj means of gunpowder, to blow up, savi King James, " the whole nobility, th< most part of the knights and gentry,' besides " the whole judges of the land with most of the lawyers, and the whol< clerks." For this one discretion, Guide Fawkes has forfeited his gentility, anc become a proverb of wickedness. L boyhood, we looked upon Guide Fawkes, gentleman, as one a little lower than the devil: he had fom horns and a dozen tails. " Years the bring tne philosophic mind " have di vested him of these excrescences ane appendages, and Guido Fawkes no* appears to matured charities merely i person of a singularly eccentric dispo sition. Some five-and-twenty years ago i was the patriotic custom of the author ities of an Isle of Shepley dockyard t< bestow upon their apprentices a fev wagon loads of resinous timber, that t bonfire worthy of the cause it celebratec might be kindled from the public pursi ?that the effigy of the arch-fiend Guy might be oonsumed in a fire three timei hotter than the fire of a furnace. Sucl fierce liberality was not lost upon thi town's people ; their ardor in the burn ing business smouldered not; ever man subscribed his plank or log ; and from the commission in his uniform U Bobby in his pinafore, the 5th of No vember glowed, in the calendar of thei: minds, a pillar of fire. For a montl before the day, the coming anniversary busied the thoughts of boyish ezecu cutioners, resolved to show their patri otism in the appointment of their Guy ?in the grotesque iniquity of his face in the cumbrous state of his large arm chair. To beg clothes from door t< door was then the business of ever lover of Church and State. To ask fo: a coat, a pair of breeches, a Bhirt (th< frill could be made of paper), hose, anc hat, was not mendicity, but the fulfill ment of a high social duty. Guy Fawkes would at length b< dressed. A philosopher might havi found good matter in his eleemosynary suit. In the coat of the bloodthirsty arratsdi Via mirr}it liavfl rfnnmiizfid fchi habit of Scum, the slopseller, a quie trader afloat of ?10,000 ; in the vest o the villainous ruffian, the di scar dec waistcoat of Smallgrog, the hones landlord of a little home for sailors in the stockings of the atrocious mis creant, the home of the equitable wee vil, biscuit contractor to his Majesty'i fleet; while for the bother of the fiend like effigy, Guv Fawkes was to be ex hibited, and afterwards burned, in thi broad-toed shoes of that best of men Trap, the town attorney. The chair, too, in which Guy Fawkei sat, might it not have some day en shrined a Justice of the Peace ? an< the lantern, fixed in the hand of the diabolical, lynx-eyed monster, might i not have been the property of the mos amiable and most somnolent of th< Blue Town watchmen ? And then th< mask fixed upon the effigy, or the lum] of clay kneaded into human features and horribly or delicately expressed according to the benevolent art of th makers, might not the Bame visor hav been worn by a perfect gentleman, wit] considerable advantage, at a masquer ade?might not the clay nose anc mouth of the loathsome traitor hav borne an accidental likeness to the ver pink of patriots ? Let philosophy pon der well on Guy Fawkes.? From Jer rold's "fireside Saints and Othc Papers," in press by Lee <1* Shepard. End of the Stokes Trial. The Stokes trial has come to an end says the New York Tribune, with a vei diet of manslaughter in the third de gree, and a sentence of four years a hard labor in the prison at Sing Sing , This is the lame and impotent conch , sion of two years of incessant activity during which time the jury system c . the country was fully as much on trie i as was the slayer of Fisk. Trivial an inadequate as the verdict and sentenc will appear to many people, it will nc ' be on the whole unsatisfactory, becaus it was more than was generally expected | When the counsel of Stokes succeede ' in securing a new trial, most peop] gave up all hope of a verdict. It wr almost universally predicted that th jury would fail to agree. It was thougl impossible that twelve men cculd b found in New York so absolutely fre from prepossessions on the one side an the otner, that they could harmonis upon a verdict wnicli should acquit c punish the homicide. The public e: pected a long and tedious trial, to en at last in a disagreement of the jur and to be followed by a declaration < the District-Attorney of an intention t prosecute the case no further, on tb ground of the improbability of attaii ing any result. But this last trial has been full < surprises. It took several days, it : true, to fill the jury-box, but it wt filled finally by a dozen men of fair ii ; telligence and character. The procei then went forward swiftly and easily. There was little time wasted on ca] tious pleas or wrangliugs. The ne trial was, however, justified by new an startling evidence.

We will refrain, therefor j from commenting at present upon tl extraordinary testimony presented 1 " the defense. This is the last trial of any impc , tance under the old law. We do n think that a system which can give i such results can well be changed f the wcrse. There is something rac cally wrong in a body of law and pra I tice which, taken together, makes su< 1 performances as this Stokes trial posi 3 ble. Under the working of the ear 3 legal principles, twelve men at one tic 1 condemn the prisoner to be hanged 1 the neck until he is dead, and twel' " men at another time givo a verdi which sentences him to four years B labor in a prison of the State.

There can be no doubt, says Dio I Lewis, that, within certain climatic tl , conditions, a virgin soil, when first tc I turned up to the sun, emits an invisible, ir , subtle poison, known as malaria. This si 1 poison produces in man various forms tl 1 of painful and dangerous diseases. C( r These maladies are very difficult to a! 3 ai i manage, often undermining the consti- 0] ' tution, and leaving behind effects which ci i remain through life. The malarial | poison is, on the whole, with perhaps a 1 single exception, the most insinuating, ^ j obstinate and destructive of all the w j poisons known to man. 5 While it is probably impossible to 2 . escape malarial diseases in certain lo- 0 t calities, there ean be no donbt that a a. . considerable part of what is supposed I to be the result of malaria is due to 3 , "hog and hominy." In my visits to t the West I have been astonished at the p quantities of pork and corn oonsumed by the people. An Illinois farmer eats B] t twice as much as a New England farm- <? er, and liis food is twice as rich, while n j he performs less than half the labor. T The influence upon his digestive ap- ? 3 paratus may be easily imagined. It re- a j quires but little malaria to Are such a j, 9 train. * I have known more than one family 0 3 to remove from New England to ma- g j larious districts in the West, and break a 3 npa new farm, without suffering from u malarious diseases. They carefully ~7 observed the laws of health, used beef instead of pork, wheat instead of corn, h j and stayed in-doors from sundown till an hour or so after sunrise. r Many of the diseases of the farmers, P1 j and much of the yellow skin, may be traced to the same causes as produce / _ the diseased and discolored complexion w ] of the South?a bad diet, bad drinks. ' neglect of bathing and other kindred violations of the laws of health. ? ! oi > A Chinese Burial. ' A Ohina woman died at Sacramento, ^ Cal., and her husband being well pro- ? j vided with money, gave her what he ?, - considered a flrst-class . funeral. The j Sacramento Union describes the cere- v I monies : "About 5 o'clock in the after- i noon the body, inclosed in a coffin, was c j placed on the sidewalk in front oi hor late n 3 residence, and by its side were ranged B t tables loaded with r<*st chicken, roast * f pig, boiled rice, candy, nuts, brandy, 0 1 whisky, Ac., sufficient in quantity to t keep the spirit of the deceased from ; being hungry for a month. These ar* tides remained on the sidewalk until n - late the next forenoon, surrounded by ? s paid mourners, who seemed to be car- ? - rying on a lively oompetition in the ti - matter of giving full value for the u e money received. At the cemetery,, after M i the coffin had been lowered, hired J mourners and the two children of the < b deceased walked round the grave once, JJ - while the husband remained standing * 1 silently by. Then vessels containing \\ b food were put in the grave at the head t and foot of the coffin, followed by a E t small quantity of earth. Next to be Jj b put in were" live chickens and ducks, p b and these were promptly covered with J ? earth. The grave having been filled up, i brandy and whisky were sprinkled , upon it in a liberal manner, while a b pig's head, roast chicken, boiled rice, b oranges, apples, nuts, candy, Ac., were J h laid upon the mound. The ceremony % being concluded, the Chinese returned J. 1 home in their carriages, while some it b Christian boys, who had been closely " Y watching the proceedings, gathered up p - the fruit, candy, Ac., and likewise ;left ' for home." r ' The Advantages of Advertising?An 8 Example to the Point. t< I After the crash of '57, says a Milwau- fl ' kee paper, when everybody was almost scared to death, and the croakers pre- s dieted that the country had gone to ^ smash, a dry goods house was opened !- in that city, which proceeded on the r, principle that in order to reach the hoarded money in the pockets of the o j people the proprietors must sell at very - u e reasonable prices, and advertise very >t largely. They worked vigorously on o e this principle. Their brother merch- J 1. ants who did not advertise predicted J d that the new-comers would be ruined, " ie as they paid too much for advertising. 1 is Nevertheless they persisted. In a sin- a ie gle year they paid five hundred dollars it in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for ad- 1 e vertising, and at the end of seven years !6 they retired from business with a ford tune of one hundred thousand dollars, 1 ;e while the merchants on the same street, jj >r some of them opposite their store, had a i- failed. f d The lesson of '57 should not be for- i 7, gotten in '73. There is money in the < >f pockets of the people. It is being 1 :o hoarded. The merchants must draw it \ ie out. That can be done only by low J l- prices and extended advertising in es- ! tablished journals. Commercial travel- | >f ers bring plenty of credit business to is the merchants, but comparatively little j is cash. It is clear as the noonday sun i- that the more credits the merchant has 38 on his books the worse he will be off. 1 He wants the solid cash, and that can p- best be obtained by judicious adveu- , w tising, [j.

The Value of Gold and SUrer. Many people have a desire to know le value of gold and silver in bulk, and > this end we have secured the followlg from Professor J. F. L. Schirmer, iperintendent of the branch mint in lis city, and it may be relied upon as jrrect. The fineness of Colorado gold ad the calculation of values on gold ad silver are also given. It is a matter I considerable value, and should be at out and preserved. One ton ('2,000 pounds avoirdupois) f gold or silver contains 29,163 troy unces, and, ^therefore the value of a >n of pure gold is $602,799.21, and of a >n of silver is $37,704.84. A cubic foot of pure gold weighs 1,18.75 pounds avoirdupois; a cubic foot f pure silver weighs 656.25 pounds roirdupois. One million dollars gold coin weighs ,685.8 pounds avoirdupois ; one milnn ilnllawi mImi- ftnin WpicJlH M.929.9 ounds avoirdupois. If there is one per cent, of gold or Liver in one ton of ore, it contains 91,63 ounces, troy, of either of these letals.
