He had had some experience in newspaper life in the course of a forty years’ rcsi-a’mce in the metro- polls; and he. thought that, upon the whole, this mode of obtaining station and a lchlihood would prove theibest for himâ€"considering that he was but ‘himsclf alone,’ with- out other capital than his mother- wit. Accordingly, Mr. Warren VVit- kins, having taken lodgings at the FOXVille tavern, and been received by the landlord with the consider- ation'duc to an editor, made inqui- ries as to the likelihood ofhis suc- cess ; and among those to whom he broached the important subject, was one Ezra Dodge, a praiter, ‘on histrals’â€"who not being peculi- arly able to continue his travels, just .theh; listened to the idea with lively -satisfaction, .and promised his aid. on- condition that he should be in- Stalled aS'foreman of the office, should the journal come into being.

Give me your hand. Mr. Wilkins l’ exclaimed Deacon Sleeper, his eyes sparkling. ‘Ours is the prevailing belief in Foxville.’ ‘Baptism, my fricnds,’ continued \‘Vilkins, with sudden enthusiasm, ‘is recognized by all Nature.

A, common house ccllar will very seldomb’e found a suitable place for settiiig milk, and the cream or milk in a cel- la.i should never be placedon the floor or bottom, for if there is any impure gas in the cellar it; will settle to the ground, causing the cream to be bitter, and a poor‘qua- lily of butter will bethc result. After setting the milk away it should never bedisturbed again ;un« til it is ready to be skimmed, which should be done as soonas pessible‘ after the cream-has risen and before the milk has curuled; all the gain there is in quantity after about twenty-four hours’ setting you must lose in quality. Keep the cream in stone pots or jars, in a cool place in summer, moderately warm in win- ter. ' Sprinkle a little salt on the bot~ tom of thcjar. Always'stir themilk from the bottom every time you add a fresh skimming of milk: Never churn until at least twelve hours after the last cream has been put into the jar. _ After the cream has been churned and the butter properly gathered, it should then be washed with cold water and changed two or three times, or until there is no colouring of milk about the water; the whole or the water must then be worked from the butter" and it should be salted with about twelve ounces of the best Aslitoanairy salt, well pul- verized, to sixteen pounds, or three- fourtlis of an ounce to each pound of butter. The salt snould be even- ly worked through the entire mass. ‘1 differ much with many of our but- ter-makers in the quantity of salt, but l have taken the first premium at our county fair (in the-Fall) on June-made butter that was salted with half an ounce to each pound, and packed immediately, without a second working, and that butter, when thirteen months old, was just as sweet as when first packed. " Always pack immediately, as it tends to. make it streaked if it is worked a second time. ltshould be packed in jars, iff'or home use ;. if for market, in the best oak firki-ns or tubs. which should be well soaked with cold water, then scaldcd and steamed by pouring boiling water in, minutes. Then pour off the Water and. scrub the firkin with salt or with soda, teen wipeout the surplus, give it a slight- rinse, and,-when cooled, it is Wild}? for use. When the firkin or jar is full, cover the butter with good sweet brine, to ex- clude the air." ’ An English engineer, Leonard Horner, had been making some ex- periments for dt,:tci‘niiiiiiig the agevof Egypt by counting the layers of al- luvial deposit along the banks of the Nile, made by its annual overflowing. Mr. Homer’s i‘eseurClies are "made by sinking shafts at various points. One of those was sunk close to. the great monolithic statue of Ilamcses I., at Memphis, and it was found that there were nine feet four inches of Nile sediment between-eight ;in- chcs below the surface and thelow- est part of the platform on which the statue stands; Below the platform, the shaft was driven 30 feet thaough the deposit. At the depth of39 feet pottery was found in a good state of preservation. Taking the date of the erection of the statue- at '1351 -B,,C._, the finding of tlieflspottery, together With the examination tiffhe different layers of deposit, Mr. Hor- ncr thinks he has discovered tracts of the existence of man 11,500 years before the Christian era, or 7,500 years before the date at present fix- ed for the creation of the world.
