- 1
sufficient quality.. j NOW -t- know that our
, cheese. makers,- iii most. anxious ,to do-
- everything•to i ff,q) thnquaity, and are
:willing to fol directions: pointing to
-- - •
thatend. 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.

ANOTHER FAITH CURE.
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.

ROMANTIC LOVE STOIIIr.
A. 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.
Clifford then produced the marriage certifi-
Cate, and the parents of the bride saw that
what he had told them was not Mere fiction;
but truth.- :The Quirt gave the custhcly -
of the blind bride to her, hu_shand; and lie
but he -haa a pleaganthorde, and everything
-is inreadinese there to receive the mistress.
for whom he made so great* sacrifice.

A curious and -interesting case was -before
the English -Courts a .few days ago, in.
which twatirrnsaf bottled beer -merchants.
were the litigants, one of whom (the plain-
tiffs) used the words "Bulldog bottling" on
their label; whilethe other had adopted .
the miotto;'," Terrier bottling." The Master
of the Rolfs thought -the difference between
a bulldog and a terrier sufficient, and re-
fused - i
an njunction egainstthe defendants ;
but the Lords Justices reversed the decision
on the ground that the plaintiffs' beer had
got the name of "Dog's head beer," and
as "Terrier bottling" might easily get the
same; the two mightbe confounded.
