I will take the liberty of explain- ing what the trade requires, and what in my opinion is wanted to combine in early cheese the essential qualities necessary to establish for it a name, second to none,in the English market. 1. Use plenty of rennet, sufficient to secureperfect coagulation from the time the,renuet is added, at longest thirty minutes ; that is, that the curd be sufficiently firm to cut it, at longest,half an hour. 2. Draw the whey on the appearance of the slightest acid; stir and pile up the curd, and keep it warm until sufficient acid has been developed. 3. Use 14 to 1j lbs. salt; not more, per 1,000 pounds of milk; and get to proms warm. 4. Be sure and keep up a sufficient temperature in the curing room; 75 degrees will not be too much for early cheese. By attending to the above sugges. Mous you will very much improve the quality of our early made cheese. I would advise that all May at least should be made on that principle. No permon wants early cheese to have keeping properties. Factory men dou't want it, importers don't want it, grocers don't want it, consumers don't want it. All want cheese that will ripen quickly. I have caused it for several years to be made in my own- factory in the way I have described,produaing just thequality wanted; and last year rgot several •fac- tories (whose cheese r knew I would get) to make it in that way with the most satis- factory results.

An Incurable's Extraordinary Recovery After United Prayer. A despatch from DSMILSCUS, Wayne Co., Pa., says: A short time ago a despatch to the Times from this place announced the cure through faith of Miss Sallie Tyler, a relative of William W. Tyler, the post- master here. Another case still more remarkable is now reported from Cauaan Township. Waine County, not many miles distant. Miss Etta Ludwig has beau a sufferer from a white swelling on her hip, pronounced by all the physicians who have examined her to be incurable. She has been treated by some of the most noted medical men in the country, who gave up all hopes of her recovery, and she has tried all kinds of -patent . medicines with no relief whatever. About a month ago she heard of the remarkable cure of Miss Tyler, wrote to the address of the woman in Connecticut who officiated in Miss Tyler's ease, and received an answer appointing the hour and day -when Miss Etta's friends should engage in prayer for her restoration to health. 'Sunday, April 24th, was the time fixed, and on that day her friends gathered around her bedside and prayers were offered. Within an hour Miss Ludwig noticed a great change in her condition, and she is now so fully recovered as to be able to walk. She has not until „this time in many years walked a step, and her recovery is at least wonderful. LAUGHTER IN CHURCH, An Amusing Anuouiwetnent_by the •Cierk.

Young Han's Betrothed Becomes Blind -He Harries Her, and is Cols. pelled to Resort to Law to Obtain Possession of Iler. A despatch from New York says the particulars of a very romantic love story were developed before Judge Dixon, hold- ing Supreme Court, Chambers, at Paterson, N. J,, yesterday. From the uncontradicted testimony in the case the fallowing facts are gathered: Mr. John P. Clifford is a young man who resides at Yonkers, in that State. He is a very respectable young man and of good habits, and so when he asked to be received as suitor to the hand of Miss Ellen McKilvey, of- Paterson, her parents did not offer any objection. The courtship proceeded very smoothly until Miss Mcliilvey was suddenly taken sick. The lover spent anxious days and nights, but finally the young lady recovered her health, but with it came a terrible- a,fflic- tion—the loss of sight. Befere this the two had promised to marry each other; now the lady offered to release him from his vow, but he would not consent to it, declaring that he had proniised to marry her and that he Considered a promise as good as if the ceremony had been per- formed, and that her misfortune had only increased his affection for her. But her misfortune seemed also to have increased the affection ,entertained for her by her parents, and 'these absolutely refused to give their consent to the:marriage, though they did not have any objection, previous to the sickness of the young lady. Now that she Was stricken with blindness they declared that they were the only er.- sons whooughtto take care of her, They told Mr. :Clifford that under the circum- stances they could never thing of parting with their daughter And requested him. to give -up his ideaof marrying,her. He used .All the arguments at his -command, but the parents_Were in -flexible and .would not be persuaded. The two lovers, however, were so attached to emir- other that it seemed too cruel to separate theft altogether, And so Mr. Claford was allewed to continue his visits. Miss McKilyey was oyer 21 years of age, and consequently her own -mistress, and Mr: Clifferd -Soon persuaded her thatthe denial:ids of her parents Were -unreasonable. He 'finally persuaded her to marry, him, and the ceremony was performed -at St. Boniface'S Cathelie Church, in Paterson, on_•; last Monday, by Rev. Father -Hens.. When . the •parents of the 'bride were infOrTed-of what had triken place they refused' to give credit to it, and 'accordingly would not.. allow their daughter to accompa,ny her husband to his 'home' in Yonkerat, Clifford concluded to have the -matter set- tled at once, and accordingly consulted Mr. 4111414, D: 13. English; a lawyer, of Paterson, The - result was that a writ of _habeas corpus Was . - granted by Judge' Dixon Tuesday and -made returnable yesterday. The parents appeared, in court with the daughter and aneged that she was blind- and tliat•-they had -taken care of her all her life and did not know why they Should not eontinue doing as they desired to, though they did .not want to deprive her of her liberty in any way: 31,1r.
