But he found such was not the case, and he would say in justice to his own countrymen that next to their own land, and almost equal to it, they felt at home in Canada and loved its soll.(Great cheering.) Goneral Warner had said that sentiment was a fine thing, but more was needed.Ile would tell them that sentiment was a greal reality, for when he thought of his Scotch ancestors who found it convenient to leave the old country in 1745\u2014he would not gu into particulars \u2014(laughter)\u2014and when he remembered that he was Irish on tho mother's side (roars of laughter) he could not help feeling à little sentimental when among their de- ascendants in Canada.(Cheers) \u201cAs to your Queen,\u201d said Mr Blaine, \u201cI tell you that with your onthusiasm you cannot equal the Three times three and a tiger always given whon her namo is mentioned at any public dinner in the United States.(Great cheering.) To the remotest generations the people of the United States would remember that in the crisis of their nation the Queon was their friend, and the Prince Consort, her support and adviser, was also on their side.(Enthusiastic cheering.) It was no wonder that the t:vo nations folt in intimate relations, and in fact a daughter of General Schenck, the United States Minister in London, had written home that at one time she was at a party in London where there were Englishmen and Americans and a few foreigners.(Laughter.) True the two peoples had their quarrels from the Declaration of Independence untilsome time ago, but now there was not a cloud in the sky; the accounts wero settled, tho books wero closed never to be opened again, and now he would just invite them all to come to tho Centennial, (laughter) ; he would in- vito them to come to see what an English race of people could do when left to them- eelves\u2014(cheers.) They could also then find out what thoy owod to tho people of the United States for the Rovolution, for it was commonly said in his country that if the Yankees had got what the Canadians enjoyed there never would have been a revolution, and in fact it was supposed that \u201cthe little burst\u2019 between the two nations had made old mother England rather indulgent to the Canadians\u2014(cheers and laughter.) The Americans, in short, were the champion Ro- formers of the world\u2014 (vociferous cheering) \u2014and his colleague and himself were therefore delighted to do honor to the champion Reformer of Canada \u2014 (cheers) Beforo sitting down he must affirm that the people of the United States had the most cordial ood will to tho people of Great Britain and anada; so much so that he thought no war could ever arise betweon them.Other nations might fight, as the Americans and British once did, but the Americans and Canadians, if any outside quarrels arose, had better follow the example of the people of Calais and St.Stephen at tho time of the eat Aroostook war.(Laughter) The alais and St.Stephen people resolved to let the British and Americans fight it out, but as to Calais and St.Stephen they were one people and would not quarrel.(Great an ter.) on.Mr Mackenzie\u2014And they have been one ever since.(Langhter.) Hon.Mr Blaine\u2014Yes, and it is a little to the detriment of the revenue at times.(Laughter.) Well, thoy were to act in that way, but still if thero was unything improper going on in other countries the nitod States and Canada would first send over word that they had better stop quarrelling or they would go over and atop such work.(Choers and langhter) A SOMERSETSHIRE DAIRY.Wa have received the following interost- ing description of the operation of an English dairy farm from Henry F.Moore of the 1 have been paying visits, recently, to a number of dairies in this district.The first one visited was that belonging to Mr Crees, the father of the Secretary to the Frome District A hours and fifty seconds last week.aleo has a share in the farm, which may be taken as abovo the averave for management.The farm consists of about 350 acres, on which 193 head of cattle are kept, but at the time of my visit only 56 were in milk.Tho rest aro either store cattle or are being ted for the butchor.Every December about 80 of these are sold at prices ranging from £24 to £40.Ono-half of the farm is each year left for hay, and the other half for pasture, \u2018I'he halves are taken alternately.When Mr Crees first took the farm (12 yours ago) he paid 16s.6d.per acre, and that only as a yearly tenant.Hehasitnow on a nineteen years lease, with a clause by which ho guaranteed to grub up the hedges of little fields, to make larger ones, and to drain the whole farm\u2014all at his own cost\u2014 and he piys a rent of 354.6d.per ucro.I! may meontion that one fiold of 35 acres was ten years ago divided into ten fields.This | will show one improvement.I should also liko to speak of the price of labor, as this is no small item of a furmor's expenditure.Laborers on the furm ave getting 15s.per! week, with two pints of ale per day.Dur | ing harvest they get 22s, per week, and part of their fuod, with ale ad libitum, For a cottage (with two rooms- downstairs and three up) and a pieco of garden ground: about 30 rods they pay from 1s.3d.to 1s.| 6d.per week.But it is timo that I spoke of; the dairy, in which cheese is made that\u2014 with two excoptions\u2014brings the top price in the market.Tn the evening, between four and six o'clock, the milk brought in from the cows is strained into tho cheese tubs to cool.It iy then occasionally stirred, and next morning the cream is taken from the surfaco\u2014 part being used for butter, about threo pounds per day of the latter being made upon an average during the whole season.In somo dairies that I saw in the neighbor hood ull the cream is used.The cream to be used in cheese-making is with the morning's milk poured into the cheese tub.A quantity of the milk is then heated, sufficient to raise the whole to about 80° or86°?Fuhrenheit, when the tub is covered with a cloth, and it is left for one hour to enable the curd to set.The cheese-maker then commences to break the curd.First he cuts it in lines crossing each other with a long knife, and immediately afierwards it is sufficiently broken up with the curd breaker.It is thon left for a quarter of\u201d an hour.Some of the whey is then honted to 120°, and poured in among the rest, the whole being gently stizred mo.nwhile.In some dairies hero the milk is scalded by running stenm around the contents of the cheese tub, but on this furm the whey is heated in a boiler, and poured among the curd.This is done «bout 8.45 a.m.Whey is taken from the tub threo times and heated \u2014in each case 10> higher than before.Tho contents of the cheese tub is gently stirred for about ten minutes ouch Lime.When he tinished for the last time tho mass in the ib should be about 100°, The whole is then allowed to settle for twenty minutes.The whey is then removed from the tab to the tank, where it remains untii next morning, when the cream is taken from it, and the rest run into the tistern in the hog's house.The curd ix cut up and placed in a pile in the center of the tub, in order that the whey may run from it.In bout 45 minutes, when the curd has somewhat dried itself, it is broken by the hand into pieces about the size of an orange, put in comparatively thin vats, and removed to tho press.It will now be about noon.The curd is allowed to remain in the press until about 3 p.m.when it is removed, ground down and salted ; about 2% pounds of walt to the cwt.being used.The ground curd is now allowed to remain in the cooler for about two hours, being turned occasionally during the time.At the expiration of the above time the curd is re-vatted in larger vats and removed Lo the press, where it re mains till tho following morning.The cheeses aro taken from the vats, turned over, clean cloths being put on thom, ro- vatted, and again removed to the prosses.On the third morning tho same process is gone through, and again on the fourth, with the exception now of covering the cheoses, instead of the ordinary turning cloth, with the thin tight cloths which are to remain on them in the cheese room.The cheeses are then taken from the press, bandaged, and removed to the cheese room.The following figures on the quantity of curd per gallon on an average may bo useful: Gall, of ba.of 1h, of milk curd Lutter Date.per day.per day.per day.1868.10 22cu0ce es 1244 124 4 1870.109} 1024 3 1872.125} 123 4 1874.00000000 ceed .92 sl 34 The following are tho averages for each month in the present year: anll, of milk Card in No.of Date per day.pounds, cows, April.ivan 83 30% 27 MAY.ooeeiaennnnnnn 144} 1434 18 Juno.134 1374 51 July.129 126} 53 August.117 110 54 September.114 117 54 I should mention that in both 1874 and also in 1873 tho foot-and-mouth discasc has been on the farm.This will account for the small average during these two years.In 1874 the highest price made for cheese was 90s, per cwt.of 112 pounds, and the lowest 64s.The latter was made for the thin cheese made at the beginning and end of the season.In a word this is a good about | Province.Lust January and February they vemained at work on the railway during tho most severe wenthor, even wien Canadians and others accustomed to tho climate wero obliged to dewist.\u2018Tag JoLizrre Mail RosoEry.\u2014It wason Thur-day night, 21st Oct., that this robbery was committed on the highway at St.Paul, near Joliotte, tho porpotrator of the robbery getting possession altogothor of $3.281.0 had gone down to Jolietto from Montreal for the express purpose of committing the robbery, although there is no rouson to suppose that he had any conception that the amount of money in the mail that night would have been no considerable.It wan indoed exceptionally large.Ho made his way towards Juliette, and onwards to St.Panl under the | cover of durkness.Here, close on midnight, he seized the horso and mail waggon containing the Joliotte mail bag, whilst the driver was inside the St.Paul post-office, cut open the mail bag, abstracted tho reyis- tored letters and fled, still at night, into the adjoining country, finally reaching Quebec.Having, as he deemed, mado careful disposition of his spoil, ho voturned to Montreal, fancying himsolf freo from possibility ot de tection, No one had seen him commit the deed ; no ono had seen him eat open the bag in tho vacant lot at Joliotte, or hud neon him afterwards concenlod in tho quarry outside the town, where he moro leisurely riflod tho Rawdon mail.No one, nas he thought, could have recognized him next morning when, us a fugitive, he journeyed to Ber- thier.Thus, with an easy mind, if not with a quiet conscience, and with full pockets, he could afford to be liberal at tho bar of the California Hotel in Montreal.Butit was at such a moment in the bar-room that the hand of arrest fell on Edmond Coté.Ono can understand his great surprise, undor the circutastances, and the force of his saying : \u201cThe rocks surely must have spoken, for un one saw mo do thi\u201d Tho next night he was in jail at Joliette, where ho was duly charged with the commission of the crime.and evidenco adduced to support.Ho con- tessed his guilt; ho could not indeed do otherwise, so strong was the caso nguinst him.He applied to the District Magistrate, Mr Fontaine, for summary conviction rathor than await the criminal assiges next March, and he was accordingly yesterday sentenced hy {fis Honor to five years in the peniton- tary.\u2018Thus, within a fortnight of the commission of the crime, havo detection, arrest, trial, conviction and sentence overtaken this abfortunate young man.Ifisill-gotton gains havo noarly ail boon recovered, so that, in this case al least, justice has boen swilt of execution, AN Extensive Ronsery.\u2014Mr Morin, of the tirm of Morin & Labelle, contractors, left Lis home on Logan street for St.Jerome, early this week, leaving in a casbi-box an his house the «um of $4,020, wineh ho had drawn trom the Montreal Bank with tho ob- jeet ot making a payment on some property recently purchased by the firm.The cash box, which was iocked, was placed in a drawer of a bureau in the parlor, the drawer, however, being left untastened.In the house daring Mr Morin's absence were his wife and family and two servants, all of whom slept on the second flat.On Wed- te-day morning Madame Morin missed the cash-box, which, besides the money, contained rome 83.000 worth of promissory notes, and she immediately informed the detectives of the matter, and at the same tima telegraphed to her husbaud, \u2018The detectives on examination found that one of the doors of tho house which had been but slightly fastened had been forced open, and the thieves, who evidently know where to find the money, procesded diroctly to the drawer and made off with the cash-box and its contents.The box was found on Wod- nesday, n couple of acres distant from the house on the Forsyth Farm, but of course the money had disappeared.It was made up of bills of $100, $50, $20 and 810, principally of the Bank of Montreal.Mr Morin returned homo immediately on hearing ot his loss, and is in auch distress that he has heen contined to his bed since his arrival, He has only been a short timo in tha city, having previous to entering into business as n contractor, been carrying en à farm in Beauharnois.le iv individually responsible to the firm for the money drawn, and it will tnko nearly all his means to restoro the amount.A reward of 200 has been offered for the recovery of the money and the conviction of the thieves.\u2014Witness of Thursday.A man namel Beach arrivod at Orillia about three weeks ago, in good health, except that he was under the influence of al- cohnlie poison.Tle continued his spree until Saturday, 23rd, when he brought a bottle of whiskey to a shanty occupied by his brother.near Edmondson\u2019s mill, Oro.hour.Nn inquest was held.The remains wero taken to Kemptville, where deceased left a wife and seven children.The quantity of wheat shipped from Montreal this season is nearly six million bushels, or about a million less than at the same period last year.The shipments of flour wero about 640,000 barrels, which is 50,000 less than 1874.Corn shipments are also smaller, but oats, barley, and peas arc larger.There is an important increase in butter and cheese exports, however.The 8t.John (N.B.)
