( 1 mt " here that I noticed the ■ " ,l " the way from Coudersport ; ■ - eto the conclusion that with : warm growing weather the ; I - .I*l be light, and without , - mead°w ß would be almost an . ' lure. I saw clover beginning ! ' !ii not more than four or five ' an< i so thin the ground n, 1 1 * hare. I find the grass L . "- * x in Oswayo valley thau any elsewhere. ( 011 the way I called at the house o R. H. Smith for rest and refreshments Rob. is a sociable fellow and lives at home and after enjoying the good things o the house and a view .of his fountain: of cold spring-water filled with hundred: of speckled trout, and his milk-roon where is a nice arrangement for churn r iug by water-power, built with his owi • hands, I started on my journey resolvec to cross the mountain, tlirougli tin woods, which ranges high betweer Smith's and the valley where I live. N 0 one cares how many steps it tool 1 to gain one in climbing this mountain , so I will tell you what was being don< on the other side while I was ascending this. My object in crossing the moun tain was to see if deer had found sail on its summit which was left there b\ my son and myself not long since, when we hoped to kill one some time after tht first of September, and now my son it i slowly winding his way up the side ol I the mountain, and on his shoulder is a ! rifle which carries a pretty heavy ball and has a set-lock that needs but a slight | touch to send its deadly missiles where j ever its holder wishes, for he has the re putation of being an excellent marks man. He travelled on until he came to the lick, but hark 1 a deer is coming now! game laws are forgotten: some large trees and thick brush hide him from view, but so soon as the deer steps in sight he must fall. The hammer is raised, the gun drawn to his face, fine sight is taken and he waits for the deer to darken the sights of the gun. But I am walking past large trees and thick brush near the lick and what do I hear? A nervous voice, which, trem bling, says, "Pa. do you know that that stovepipe bat has saved your life?" — and the boy still declares that he is sure : if I had been dressed as 1 sometimes dress at home or if the bushes had thin ned out gradually, so that lie would have had but a partial view of me. he would surely have shot me. As it was, the hat came in full view at one step and your obedient servant at the next. And my advice now is that all young men be sure and remember the game : laws and see what they are shooting be fore pulling the trigger, and that all old and middle-aged men lie full six feet high and weai a stovepipe hat.

Miss Annie Grisel. a daughter of !g --natz Grisel. of Eulalia township, has. for some time past, l>een working in the family >f Hon. J. S. Mann, of this place. Last Saturday evening she went to bed soon after nine o'clock apparently in lier usual health. About eleven o'clock M. S. Thomj - n was aroused I<\ a scream or prolonged "oh!" proceeding from her room. He called Mrs. Mann, who had ' not yet retired, and she hastened to the girl's room, where she arrived just in time to see her expire. The only move ment she made after Mrs. Mann reach ed her was to gasp twice for breath. Dr. Ellison was immediately sent for and arrived in a short time, but he could discover 110 pulsation./ He pronounced it a case of apoplexy. The remains were buried Tuesday. The funeral was largely attended, and although the day was very warm, over j one hundred and fifty persons followed the bodv to the grave. ' Cheese Factory. For many years past the region north and east of us has lieen growing rich by the manufacture of cheese in factories. This County is equally well adapted , to the same business, and there are at least a dozen localities where factories can be successfully ojierated. Two or three years ago an effort was made at Lewisville to establish one. but through the incompetency of the person having it in charge it proved a failure: since which time the opinion hac seemed to prevail that cheese factories were hmnbugs, the ex;ierience of the great dairy region north of us to the contrary notwithstanding. But at last we have , in this County a cheese factory that is a success. Two and a half miles north of Bing ham Centre, in the township of Bing ham, is located the factory of Mr. Hale Young, which commenced making cheese on the twelfth of May last and is at present using the milk of from 300 to 3-50 cows and making from 11 to 12 cheeses weighing 60 to 6* tfis each. Mr. Young came from Alfred. Allegany Co., N. Y. and understands the business. Everything is furnished by the facto ry. except milk, and the cheese market ed for two cents a pound. The capital required to put in opera tion was about SI4OO, and it takes two persons to do the work. We just have two other facts to men tion, viz: butter sells now for 20 cents per pound and factory cheese sells at from 14t to 16t cents jier pound. Sttnrrifd.

B. McNAMERA. THE "National Line of Steamships" , has been wonderfully improved in tlie last two years, by the building of FIV E NEW STEAMERS, several of which have made some of tlie fastest runs on record. The Line between New Y'ork, Queenstown and Liverpool is composed of tlie most celebrated steamers in the world and their average time is not far f.iomabout nine days. Theaccommoda ' tion for steerage passengers is of the best character, comprising many com-' forts and conveniences not to be found on other ships. Passengers to and from Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow and Londonderry sail by this Line. Tlie London Line is composed of the older vessels and offers very good accommoda tion to and from the south of England and Continent of Europe, but the steam ers are not so fast as the Queenstown & Liverpool Line. This Company has always been in favor of cheap passages and still guarantees to sell tickets at lower rates than any other Line cross ing the Atlantic, a fact that should be rememliered by those visiting the Old . Country or sending for their friends. S. F. HAMILTON, Agent, j Coudersport, Pa.
