A correspondent of tho Asliville N~eios and Farmer, gives tho following particulars of a new enterprise recently started in liuncooiho County, N. C.: , Not quito a yoar ago, Mr. N. \V. WoodGn, tho ownor of tho lands upon which tho Factory is situated, loft this placo to visit the Slato of Mow York. Whilo thero ho rruirlrs Mm acquaintance of Guv. lloratio Seymour, tho prcsont lVoeident of the Cheeso Factory Association of that Stato, who induced hitn to visit many of tho Cheoso Factories there in successful operation.?Tho flattering results of that Slato caused Alt*. Woodfin to seek out every information concerning it, wiih a view of introduction to tho people of Western North Carolina tho subject of Cheeso making, as a means of lecuperatiug Lheir lost fortunes and to_chango tho production of their farms. Tho intelligent and practical mind )f Mr. Woodfin saw at once that if [Jheoso Factories wcro prufitablo in [Now York, whero grazing lands aro .vorth from ?100 to S200 por aero, and itod labor much bighor than in theso nountainp, it would bo much moro jrofitablo in Western North Carolina >vhere equally as good grazing lands jan bo bought at from SI to 510 per icre, and labor much oheaper, while )ur climate and wator, boing coolor md purer tban in Mow York, will 011ible ua to produco a hotter quality. He immediately ^induced Capt. Eirn r/1 nnn r\ f* * ? ,?.uu v?u ui uliu uuoii uuooau nillliCl'H n New York, and who was highly ocoramendod by Gov. Soymour, to >ay a vi6it to Buncomb and examine ,he country. In January last, Mr. Edward a camc hero took a survoy of he country and pronounced it equal o Now York for Choeso making. A company was immediately i<?rmid, Capt. Edwarda was employed to luperintend tho Factory, and sent jack to Now York to procuro tho nost completo and heat machinory. It that time there was not & tree cut, roui which any part of tho present mildinga wero erectod ; but tho indeatigablo energy of tho members oi ho Company in an incredibly tihort lino foiled tho hugo forcat troos, eroo od suitable buildings, uiado a good oad of two miles iu length, and by be time the machinery arrived, on bo 27tb day ot April, everything was eady to receive it. On the28ib of April 1868, (the day ifter tbe machinery arrived) the irat choose wan tnado at PJik moun,ain, weighing 40 pounds, and is as lino in articlo ofchceso as any made in any jouDtry.Quantity of Cheese now rnndo ' daily, 200 to 2G0 lb*.

There are two eizos of Choose made ine sizo Wtiitrliinrr nhnnt 4(1 Iho ?o?l. --J, 1> AV WU^U iho other from 8 to 12 lb?. Tho pri308 adopted by tho Company aro for ,bo largest siao 20 cents per pound, or tho smaller size, by tho single Cheese, 25 cents per pound, but where ,hroo or raord small ones aro taken .he price is reduced to the same us 'or tho largest size. This price brings it within tho rcach of ovcry ono, and f the Company does nothing more, it deserves iho united support of our people for having reduced tho price of that article of food. The Factory omnlovs fifteen hands Of these, three aro females; two <xa milkers only, and in the vat room. The male employcos aro ongaged, between the morning hours, in various uther duties on tho farm. About fifty hogs aro kept "fat and Nourishing" upon the whey from the v&la. The Machinery was mado by Messrs Williams, Half & Co., Utica, Oneida Co, N. Y. Thus, then, in ten months after it was first thought of, the Machinery has been madt, in New York, and do llvered in Bunoombe County, N. C., the forest ieHed, tho buildings erccted 180 cows purchased, and 8000 pounds of superior Cheese made, which finds ready sale, in and noar Asheville. at the above prices, and gives the Faotory earnings, sinco the 18th of April not two months?the rcspeotab'.e amoont of $1,6001 Such energy add industry is entitled to the highest praise, and ensures to the enterprise a profitable eareer. As an enterprise, for the general good, it. o^nnot be over estimated. Already we see its influence# permeating. through every section of these Hou&trftas.

Wo sometimes think of genius as a wayward, sickly faoulty; but it is rather that persistent power of the soul which, like faith, "laughs at impossibilities," and cuts its way through i ovcry obstaclo.

A large numbor of wiser and better farmers than I linvu ever claimed to be boldly make tlio abovo nssortion. the assertion depends, for its correctness, ou circumstances. If, to au acre of land that liaa yielded tons upon tous of produce uulil it is exhausted, thoy give seventy Jive or ono hundred pounds, or even one hundred and fifty to two hundred pound?, and expectn crop equal to that grown on the best acrea of now-groud in tlio Stato, tho assertion may hold good, that fertilizers will not pay. ]>ut if, on tho other hand lio will apply four or live hundred pounds, or even more, lo tho same aero for three years in succession, after that time, loss will bo required each subsequent year, until Tilth make* it necessary to change the crop and put to lover or grasi. The crops in the meanLime, with tolerable seasons, will bo veiy Tine, and his land grow richer every year.

The following interesting extract is fromi late work of Judge Hull, published by lubbard & Edmund*, Cincinnati, Ohio, inder the title of Sketches of History, Life and Manners in the West. "Whatever were Durr'a intention?, it is iertnin that they embraced schemes so aluring or 60 magnificent, as to win tho sredulous DlannorhaRsot from the abstracion of study, and the blandishment of ove. This island became the centre of itudy, and the blandishment of love. Pliia ielnnii honnmA tliA nonfrck /if nnftm ? VJ'O?i?n?. Here anus were deposited and men collected; and .here, Assembled around beir watcbfires, young gentlemen, who 'bad seen better days," and "aat at good nen's feasts," endured all tbe rigors of tbe ilimato atd tlie privations of a campaign, ewarding ^themselves in anticipation with the honors of war and tbe wealth of tlexico. Burr and Blannerhassot were be master spirits who planned their lujora; Mrs. Blunnerhasset was the J'ght ind life of all tboir social joys. If -trealon matured its dark designs in her mnnilon, here also the song, the dance and the evel, displayed thei* fascination. Tbe )rder of arrest was tho signal dispersion o this ill fated band; and it is said, that ;ho lovely mistress ot this fairy scene, the Z/'alypso of ibis enclmntei idle, was seen ?t midnight, Shivering on the winter [>anks of tbe Ohio," mingling ber tears with ita waters, eluding by stratagem the ministers of justice, and destitute of the comforts of life, and (he solaco of that hospitality which she had once diftpensed with sUch grateful liberality. **l believe it is not doubted that Burr" intended to have atteinpted^the conquest of Mexico. A large portion of the people of that country were supposed to be waiting only for a favorable opportunity to throw .off the Spanish yoke. The Americans, as their neighbors, and as republicans, wo'J Id, if *as thought, be reoeived without suspicion; nor would Burr hare unfolded his ultimate design until H wQuld have been too late to prevent ita compluhraent.. He would then have established * monarchy, *1 |he head of which Would have been King Aaron the First. I am told that the young gentlemen who were proceeding to join him, often aroused themselves On this subject: talking half in earnest and half in jeit of the offices and honors .which awaited them, titles apd place* w?*e already liimhly distributed Jn anticipation; and Mrs. Blannefbasset, who was an aooomp&lUd anil sprigtly-woman,- bad arranged^ th? drpaet anA oererooni^e the court. Whoa-ihe alarm-waa tfceo, an.< * K .? m orders were issned for the arrest of Burr unci hid adherents, they wcro obliged to* resoit to a variety of expedients to escape detention. At Fort Massac and oilier place?, all boats descending tho river went compelled to atop and undergo strict examination, to the great annoyance of boatmen and peaceable voyagors, who wcro ofu-n obliged to land at unseasonable hours* Very diiligent inquiry wa3 made for the lady just mentioned, who soveral times narrowly escaped detection, through her own ingcuuity and that of her companions." | SUSPENDED ANIMATION. The Cleaveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer of May 30, lias the following: Ou Lorian stieet, abovu Jersey, there reaides with her elep father, a young lad)', Miss Ellen K.White, who is probably between 1 *7 and 18 years of age, very prepossessing in hor manners, and very finely cdncated. About six weeks ago she was taken dangerously ill with what tho family physician pronounced typhoid fever, aud for some days she was so low that all hopes of her recovery were given up. Sho rallied however, and under careful nursing, and skillful treatment, sho was in a fair way to rprnvpr wKnn nl?A?? #?*? >. -? -1? , .. ?V.< ui/uut mv TTVU1V3 IIJJU SUO relapsed, and sank rapidly, uutil the breath seemed to leave her body, and alio was pronounced a corpse. Iler body was prepared for tbo grave, and preparations were made by her bereaved parents and friends for the funeral, when her mother who could not be mado to realizo the fact that her only daughter was dead to her forever, noticed that though the limbs of her daughter were rigid, yet tho body retain its warmth. Physioions were called, but they dccidad that she was dead, and every attempt to recu&9itate her failing, 1 it was determined last Sunday to consign her to her grave, and a coffin was procured. 1 On Saturday, while one ofthe neighbors and the mother were staudin? by the aide of 1 the supposed corpse, the door, which had been left ODOn. blew shut with n Innrl nninn which had the effect of so acting upon the 1 girl 83 to bring her to, and set her life 1 blood in motion. She sprang up in bed, 1 throwing ber arms around ber mother's neck, wept tears of joy over her escape 1 from the horrid death of being buried 1 alive. Our reporter yesterday visited the bouee and was granted an interview with 1 the young lady. Miss White said that 1 when she felt herself sinking eho bad no ' fear of death, but turned beself upon ber 1 tide, and as she did all paiu . disappeared, and she sank to sleep as peacefnlly as a child. She lay, she thinks, unconscions for an hour or more, for when she came to hersolf, though the could uot move or rpeak, she found that she was ready laid out for burial. She oould soo her mother i by her aide, and all those who camo to see all they eaid. She tried to speak to thorn but ber toDguo refused to do its office; ' ohe tried to move but could not; and , there she lny, blessing her mother for ber i refusal to allow ber to be burried. Upon two occasions, when her mother was alone iu the room with ber, seemed as though she left the body and could look upon it as she i could .upon ber mother. Sho said she i was unable to describe the feelings that { Bhe experienced upon tbose occasions. ' When not tortured with Ihe fear of be- { ing buried alive, sho was perfectly at re6t i perfectly happy, an J when the door slaramod, which brought her to, it seemed bb though she was, to use her own words, "coropellod to commence a hard days work." Season Fob Phoning.?Tho early part of summer is a good time to prune young trees. Such trees boing in a growing state it it then easy to determine what branches to retairt and which to cut off in forming the head. Also^by removing unnecessary blanches at this season there is a , saving In the growth by taming the forces | into the other parts of the tree. The 1 thinning out of the heads of bearing trees \ may be done in autumn or winter. But ! of all seasons the spriog is the worst for , pruning especially when the sap is rising ; as wounds made at this season do not deal ] readily. The sap oozing from the wounds | ferment", fumes the parts black, decay soon , begins and in large trees the wood rots | before the wound can heal over. It apme- , times happens however that pruning must be done in the spring or go undone.
