The President of the Republic of Alexi- ' - co, Benito Juarez, died by apoplexy on th.o night of the 18th July; tie was born' in humble circumstances, but ;was -brought up by a wealthy family in. Oax- aca, and commenced life as a lawyer, gaining distinction in the profession. 'Entering into polities, he. was elected deputy to the Constitutional Congress of the Republic, and took a prOminent part in 1840 *fit' the proceedings of that stormy period. From 1848 to' 1852 he was Gov- ernor of his native State, Oaxaca. In 1353, during the administration or Santa Anna,, he was banished for a short time to Chiba, whence ha proceeded to New Orleans, in which city -he resided until the spring of 1855, when he joined Al- varez at Acapulco. Whet Alvarez was elected President of the Republic, Juarez became Minister of Justice. Ale varez retired from the Presidency in '1865 and Juarez then left the Cabinet in -conjunction with all the other ministers. Compnfort, who succeeded •Alvarez, ap- pointed him Governor of Oaxaca, the ad- ministration of whin') office he diseharg- ed with. eminent success. . He was sub- sequently made Secretary of State; and afterViards became President of - the Snpreme Court of Justice. When Com - °rifest withdrew from the government, in -January, 1858, Juarez became; by virtue of his offiee, Constitutional Presi- dent of. the Republic. TWA position- he has -retained ever since, and during the regime of the Emperor 'Maximilian and thSoughbut all the troublous times that Mexico has recently :seen, kept up some show of authority. IThe etrongest.com- bination formed aOEaitls Juarez was in May, 1868, when Rivera pronounced in favor of deposing. Juarez. The revolt'. however, frittered away their strength, and under the discreet man- agement of 'Juarez the government be- came solidified, and Lerdo de Tejada be- came Chief Juetice of the :Supreme Court in place of Ortega. Thies position places him, in the lino of succession; and he is now acting-Psesident of the Repub- lic: by virtue of his*office. —.ewe Canada.

The increase which has taken place in our exports of dairy produce during the Feet few years, has been marked. and 8b1iI1ng 111 110 other department of agriculture hal "there been email a rapid expansion—a fact for which we are large- ly indebted to the ntimeroua cheese fac- tories, and.the result flowing therefrom, which have been established ie almost every part of 'the country. Up to as late a period as 1864-.5, We were large importers of cbee.se. In 1861 We import- ed 2,152,000 lbe., and in the year 1864-5 just alluded to, our importations -were 2,530,050 lbs. The great change which_ hes eince taken p.Lce will at once be seen by placing side iry side our exports and imports of cheese during the last two years: neer. imports. Export. 1869-70 59,494 1bs. 3,827,782 lbs. 1870-71 00,475 lbs. 8,271,430 lbs. Thene figures indicate a complete revo- lution in this blanch of our trade, mid we are happy to percieve that, in the kindied article of butter, there has.been a large increase in the amount of Our ehipnienta to other countries. Our fin- portationa of butter may be seid to be nil, for they have dwindled down to from 10,000 to 6,000 pounds &lineally. a quantity so trifling as not to be worth consideration. In order to show the rapit t increase in our production of but- ter. we append the following statement of our exports for eeveral year prior to confederation : Pounds. 1860 we exporteal.... ....... 5,-)12,500 1861. 1862 `• 1863 1, 1864 (4 yr) " 1e 01-5 7,275,4215 8,905,578 7,053,898 1,030,655 6,941,063 The progress whieh We have made will be appreciated whelk we state that our exports in 1Stlf)-70 amount d to no lees than 12,259,887 lbs., and for the het year for which we have the returns (1870- 71) to 15,430,266 1bs. The number of cheese factories in On- tario is about 70, and their produetilm ef cheese close upon live and a half millions; of pounds. Quebec has also a consider- able number of factories, mere particular- ly in the Eastern Townships, and they are steadily on the increase.. Although 0T:stilled by recent progress, there is no o - good reason why the anneal value and quantity of our dairy products should not he still more largely expanded. It is one of the best paying branches of farm- ing when properly managed, whilst it tends to check that unwiee system of over crop eine which has been so general and act cisastrons to Ontario farmer -a. With proper encouragement the Domin- ion may easily double its present exporti, both of cheese and butter. before the close of the present decade. --elf-one-tory
