The butter Is packed In the•tub as It stands on the small end—the sack being long enough to extend above the edges of the tub—and Is pressed down firmly until within an inch and a half of the top, when a circular cloth is laid over it, the edges of the sack turned over that, and a layer of fine salt placed on it. The head is now put in Its place, the tub turned up, and the butter In the sack, of course, falling down to the bot tom, leaves a space all around It which is filled with brine poured through a hole in the small end. When full, the hole is corked up tight. The butter floats in the brine and is effectually pro• screed from the air, and will keep for au almos indefinite period. THE NORTHWESTERN SOFFERERS.-11CV. N.

The delicacy and shrinking which pastors of sensibility feel In forcing themselves on reluc tant, distant and shut-up people mmt also he auk en into account. The first cull is (dell a kreat trial to him, as well as to them, and he often stays away because there is no indication that he Is wanted, or very welcome. This Is for the people to think of. Pastors imist not underrate their official In favor of their personal Importance. A minister Call often fall buck on his office, and do many thlngA In his character as a minister which it Is weakness and folly to think he could do only as a friend and neighbor. It is not wise to neg lect or squander the accumulated power which his office gives him.

After the transaction of some routine business the reports of the various committees were made Rifting forth that the order is in a flourishing eon Ilion In all p;trts of the commonwealth. It was ated that the granite work on thence; temple, at Broad and Filbert streets, Is nearly completed. The towers, the front doorway on Broad street, and part of the Juniper street front elevations have yet to be cotnpleted. The tower at Broad and Filbert will be finished next summer. Tine whole building is now under roof, and the work On the interior Is being pushed forward with all despatch. Before the close of 1872 the granite work will be all up, and the Interior will be ready for the decorators and painters. During the cur rent winter the whole of tine heating and ventilat ing apparatus will be in position and ready for testing. It Is believed that It will meet with gen eral approval, and will be entirely successful. If no accident occurs to Interrupt the progress of the work the new temple will be dedicated on the 24th of June, 1573. Another report shows that there are three hun dred and sixty-one lodges of Freemasons in Penn sylvania, with a total membership of 05,105. In retiring front office the Grand Master, Hon. Rota. A.

LEMUR •VA I,I;LT BEI'I:ESENTATIVhs IN EoYPT.-A correspondent or the New York I lerald, front Alexandria, Egypt, gives the follow• log interesting bit of gossip concerning the bevy of young American ladies who are traveiing over Europe in charge of MN. Stone. The Lehigh \ln I loy has several representatives In the party, one of whom 15 Miss Rate , IL Lehienring, the daughter of Hon. John Lelsenrlng, of Munch Chunk, and an other Miss Gertrude Thotuas, of Catitsawynt, The wraer says : A novelty among the American travelers abroad will Induce the derisiou of the r, a Icr, be/ nese the American is himself a novelty to foreigners, not. withstanding he We been on exhibition for nearly •t century. But what shall be said of a party of fourteen young ladles, traveling over Europe,Asht and Africa matronized by a holy Instructor, in order that they may learn from the great book of human life 1 Being in Milan BORIC two weeks ago I hod an opportunity to observe an itinerant sem- Mary, composed of more than a dczen of the fair est of our American girls, in charge of Mrs. Stone. The young ladles varied in age from fourteen to twat gone, and represented nearly every quarter of the Union, typifying all shades of Innocent bea nl v. Their names are as follows: Miss Nancy N. Sanborn, Miss Edna M. Fuller, Mins Emma Eth• riJec, >t Ins Kate 11. lailsenrlng, Miss Lizzie Bell Fuller, Miss Nancy A. Sanborn, Miss Gertrude Thomas, Miss Flora Bella Van Il uysan, Miss Kate E. Mitchell, Mins Lena M. Gould, Miss Clara A. Avery, Miss Kate C. Baxter, Miss Mary T. Mc- Naughton, and Mrs. Lucinda Stone. This very inilliant patty left New. York nearly a year ago, under the direct supervision of Mrs. Stone, but for male protection they have Mr. 11. G. Gilbert and courier, who attended to all the details of trav— eling. They first made a tour through Ireland, where they were greeted with the generous hospi• talky which only an Irishman can offer, and then passing through Scotland visited Eng!and,France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Of course such an aggregation of young and attractive gir:s; blushing with health and vitality, attracts the cu rious gaze of the astonished European, who can little understand why a young lady should have anything beyond a shallow property In music and domestic accomplishments. Still it teaches a new system for educating the American young lady, and one which, from the results already achieved, Is worthy of the highest commendation. It is simply taking the undeveloped girl from the close and deleterious airs of the schoolroom, and ac climatizing her to the healthy air of Ireland, or the hot and feverish weather of Africa. I have rarely, I might say never, seen a collec tion of such fresh looking girls as compose this party. They all enjoy their long visits and do not fatigue by travel. Now it Is Ven Ice for a week, then Venice and Milan. Land famous In lilera tute, churches and, scenery that are In the knowl olee only of those of special culture, are carefully visited, and the good Madame takes care that the young ladles do not leave without ample instruc tion. The young ladies have been overwhelmed with pleasant adventures. Upon arriving In Egypt they met the Emperor of Brazil, and expressing to his Majesty their desire to have his autograph, the transatlautle sovereign immediately sent .for the entire party and spoke a few pleasant words to each, nt the satno time presenting his photo togreph, fully endorsed. By a strange fatality, when the young ladies 'visited the Pyramids, a photographer • was taking a negative of Don. P edro with the mammoth mausoleums In the hack ground. Tho seminary was consequently taken at the same time, and the Emperor declared that he could wish nothing to remain Immortal except a plcbure which had lixed him In the company of such n charming chicle—not even the Pyramids themselves. Whereupon the acquaintance was renewed, and each young lady was declared a natural princess. A week ago the party, con ducted by at dragoman sailed from the port for Beyront, whence they will go overland to vl-it the Saviour's tomb. While at Cairo they received distinguished courtesies front Consul-General Bailer. If the sanitary condition of Constantino ple permits, they will visit the capital of the Turk ish empire •, thence going up the Danube, will complete their view of Europe. It is sale.to say that no party that has ever been abroad has made a better Impression than this family of pretty American misses. AY, JANUARY 3, 1872. 'l'iu wordy of the, late Dr. .1.

On the I.lth ld left his fellow workmen hi his working clothes and had nothing with him. lie was hi trouble at the tin,e, as he thought that his boy was drowned in New York bay. The boy .was out with a sand boat, but came home all right. Ferber bad not eaten or drunk anything for two dap at the time of his death. Tau early cowl, tom of the Perkiomen Railroad Is confidently talked of. It It said the Lehigh Valley now holds the talance of power In the North Penn. Company, and should the latter company's road be leased by the former, the probabilities are that the Jersey Central, Reading and stockholders of the Perkloinen would push the road through In hot haste. The local advan tages which arc sure to result from the comple tion of the road arc the to:lin causes for andel 'paling that the road will be put throuull boon. Unusual energy and activity scent to have taken possession of the Directors and at the meeting next week such action will betaken as will secure prompt subscriptions to the stork final the resi dents along the proposed line. They all recog nize the Incalculable benefits that will arise from the road and need only concerted, energetic ac tion tipon the part of the progenitors of the road to secure their hearty co-operation. Dims, it Is believed, will not be the terminus of the road, which will be all the better for Humus. If the road be built to ilokentlauqua, minus will reap double the advantages that It would derive from being the terminus.
