This, we think, was in very poor taste.

EDITORS CITTZEN :—Having had the pleasure of being present on June 24th at the Sunbury cheese factory, when the investigating committee were look ing into the workings of said factory, we give the following items: This factory is owned by our enter prising citizen J. K. Itussell, to whom we may ever look as the first man in Butler county who dared launch out into this important branch of rural in dustry, which we doubt not needs but to be well understood to be appreci ated here as i lst'where. The business is superintended by Mr. C. 11. Nodine, formerly of Craw ford county, Pa., a man of culture, courteous and pleasing in his manners; and judging the workman by his chips we must pronounce him skilled in his business. This factory is working nearly five thousand pounds of milk daily, which is furnished by the farmers of the sur rounding neighborhood; and it is daily turning out nearly five hundred pounds of first class cheese. That made during May up to the 27th ult., bad I teen thrown upon the market for the first, subject to the sorutinixing test of the New York Board of trade and sold at the price of No 1 cheese, eleven cents per pound at the factory ; which we see by the following calculation makes cheese making in the summer months, one hundred per cent, more profitable than butter making. Milk on an average yields one thirtieth of its weight in butter, and on#-tenth of its weight in cheese ; al lowing one-third of the cheese for manufacturing, which ought to more than pay all expenses, and the patron has two pounds of cheese left him, where he would have had but one pound of butter, after manufacturing it himself at the expense of considerable muscle and some strain on his patience, or, as is generally the case, let his bet ter half exert, to its full capacity, her already over-taxed strength (she may have a champion churn) for an hour or two each day of the week, and sell at from eight to ten cents per pound. During the month of May butter did not average more than ten cents per pound in our home markets, hence the advantage of choQtio making over but ter making is easily seen. If this esti mate only approaches accuracy,it is also easy to account for the impression which so generally prevails in dairy districts, that cheese making affords the profitable mode of converting our pas tures into money. It. has been asserted upon high authority, that in no other way can so large an amount of animal food be obtained from a given quantity of herbage, as by the dniry. It is capa ble of demonstration that a good milch cow furnishps the most economical means known by which to obtain from our pastures the alimentary matters they art; capable of yielding. It was estimated by the Dritish Hoard of Agriculture, when Sir John Sinclair was its president, that the same quantity of herbage which would add 224 pounds to the weight of an ox, would produco 1)00 gallons of milk. We find then one pound of meat esti mated to be tin; equivalent of four gal lons, thirty-two pounds of milk, which would yield more than three pounds of cheese. Some made by others fall short of this, hut, judging from the best data we have, the opinion is held that the food which will make one iioiind of meat will usually make-from two and one-half to three pounds of cheese. Why should we not dairy more in Butler county? Our pastures abound in springs of pure water, covered with rich, juicy and continuous harhego, su perior in quality, if not in quantity to the pastures of the comities of Craw ford and Mercer, Pa., and North East ern Ohio, where they deem cheese making their most prolific source ol profit and where a cheese factory is found in each and every neighborhood, and where success, thrift and improv ment mark tin; home of the farmer. There tln ir pastures are abundant, but their grasses are mostly wild, and their springs are frog ponds; while ours are pure and living, and our grasses tame, luxuriant and sweet. These lacts account for the statement made by the superintendent, that the cheese made here surpasses in quality and flavor that mailo in the districts where he was formerly engaged. Then may we not hope that our county, which was one famous only for soapmines and buckwheat, may yet be renowned for its hightoned cheese, as the counties of Bradford and Sus quehanna are for their gilt-edged but ter in the markets of Philadelphia and New Vork.

HORSE THIEVES. An important revelation has been , made to Judge Church of Crawford i county by a convicted horse thief, named W. C.

His confes sion discloses a band of horse thieves whose routes extended through this and t neighboring counties, and whose head- ' quarters were in Jefferson, Forest and j Potter counties this State. It has been supposed for some time that the horses stolen in this county went in that di rection, and we have no doubt but this < is the gang that has been doing the stealing. The prospect of breaking them up will be good news and may ' lead to the recovery of some of the ' horses stolen from our citisons of this j county, —The hot weather of this remarka- < bl v hot summer searches out and re- J veals the sanitary weakness of towns j and cities.

So bad is the condition of this ditch, which is called "the Maine and Hamburg Canal ditch," that the Health Board is over run with complains, and it is feared that an epidemic will result unless something is immediately done to bet ter the condition of affairs.

Then go away anil let them soak at least twenty minute*, without touching them, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing ota the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular U» turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Then wash lightly on the wash board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Hoap,) so as to get the dirty suds out. Then put through blue-water, and on the line, without inUilimj or boiling a tirujle piece. Afterward put flannels and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way. it is im|Kirtant not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle.
