Last Friday morning at about four o'clock fire was discovered in one of the barns on the farm belonging to the estate of the late Hiram Merrihew, situated on the main road leading from West Chazy to Chazy, and about midway between the two villages. The premises.are occupied by Fayette Lewis. The fire had gained such headway at the time of its discovery that little could be done beyond saving three horses, and the five barns, stables and sheds were entirely destroyed, together with four calves. 15 tons of hay, a double wagon and fanning implements. But the worst feature of the fire is the loss of two lives. Two ti who an r ell known to the fai ps, ! of th I Will Carletoit Will Carleton, the well-known author of 'Farm Ballads,\ aud other poems, will give one of his original Monologue Entertain- ments, including selections from his poems, published and unpublished, at Academy Hall, Plattsburgh, on Wednesday evening, June 27th, Mr. Carleton i county, Andrew and Joseph Cushing, had their supper at the house of Mr. Lewis, and i'ound lodging in one of the barns for the iight. After the fire had burned itself out their remains were discovered, burned to a cinder. Their arms and legs were entirely burned away, and their bodies were so bad- ly crisped as to hardly be recognizable as having belonged to human beings, present- a ghastly spectacle. 'he origin of the fire is unknown, but is not attributed to the Cushings, as it broke out in another portion of the build- ings from where they found lodgings. It is thought that when they awoke they were either cut off from escape by the flames or suffocated by the smoke. It is thought that the loss will reach $ 1,000, on which there was an insurance of $400. During the fire Hardy Merrihew's barn caught from the sparks and was with diffi- culty saved, as was also his house, on the opposite side of the road from the burned buildings, !*ike raw vhich it was claimed had been entere under valuation.

In addition to th< grand union choral festival of Monday evening, it is proposed to have a moonlight excursion on the steamer Vermont on Fri- day evening, the 22d. It is expected that the Keesevillc Choral Fes j Evening\. The musical event of the season will oc cur at Academy Hall next Monday evening, Jane 18th,when the two fine choral societies »f Keeseville and Plattsburgh will join their forces in a grand musical festival, ,nd will render the popular oratorio, \Thi Prodigal Son.\ Both Societies, the Chora] Union of Keeseville, and the Philharmoni f Plattsburgh, have had the work undei careful drill, with the same director, Prof, Charles F. Hudson. There will be chorus of from eighty to one hundr r oices, and of course the grandest choru singing ever listened to on the west side o Lake Champlain. The soloists will be Mrs. Baber, Miss Tuffts, and Rev. Mr. Adams, of Keeseville: and Miss Mead, Miss Darling, and M: Velsey, of Plattsburgh. The quartette, Miss Darling, Mrs. Baker, Rev.

Visiting the creamery this week, we were rery agreeably surprised by the thorough preparation Mr. Merchant has made. The building has been put in good re- pair, and is neat and wholesome. All of the appliances are new, and apparently first quality. The main floor is occupied by eight large creamery pans, which we did not measure. but should ''guess' 1 to be about five by ten feet square and eight inches deep. Each of these pans it is estimated will hold the milk from one hundred cows. As they are occupied a day and a half in the process of raising the cream, these eight pans afford facilities for raising cream from the milk of about two hundred cows. The room will accomodate another set of four pans. if desired. The process of making butter in a mod- ern creamery corresponds in every essen- tial principle with that practiced by our fore-fathers, or fore-mothers '. The only difference is that superior facilities and ap- | pliances bring the process more nearly to i perfection and insure a uniform and bet- j ter quality of butter from a less amount of ! milk. As regards quality, we need only refer to the fact that creamery butter is always quoted higher in the market than dairy butter. As regards quantity, it is asserted by old butter makers that it takes from thirty to thirty-five pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, whereas twenty- five pounds is considered a liberal amount for a creamery. One of the advantages of the ereamerj is said to be the cooling process, by which the animal heat is eliminated from the railk as speedly as possible and before the cream begins to rise. The properties of the cream are improved by this means. This is done by having a double pan with space between the two, on the bottom d sides, which is filled with cold spring water. It is of course well understood among (utter makers that to make butter that will ;eep the cveam must be thoroughly soured fermented, and this process is per- ! ected with the creamery. In about 36 iours, the cream is taken off with large skimmers into pails, which are placed a cooling vat where the water is brought .own by the means of ice to the exact smperature desired. The cream is next placed in the churi/ rhich in this factory is one of Stoddard's sask shaped churns revolving endwise, >recisely like smaller ones used in dairies >ut holding 96 gallons. About -AC gallons >f cream are churned to advantage, pro- tucing from 130 to 180 pounds. The butter is worked in a large vat by a mechanical arrangement that consumes but few moments. The superiority of creamery butter for marketing will not probably be disputed, •ut like dairy butter making it requires skill, experience, and good judgment. Mr. Merchant has taken the precaution to en- gage the experienced dairy man, Mr. A. £ Bryant, of Chateaugay, who set in opera tion the first creamery in that town, ff no\ the first in Franklin county. have been probably d interest become that in response to tho \ p OJ , t Kl , ut HU j wish of many of our readers the SENTINEL ! al)ou t twelve. will hereafter publish the quotations at the j During th e eaa - ly 1>art o f the leading hop centers, including Malone, j t y wU 1 b e ouU;r Un ue d with no, to accommo- h to laud.

The proceeds are to be devoted to a charitable purpose. The query may arise with some, when, how, and where the farmer see his butter after having poured his milk intc\ the common receptacle, as all must d c We answer that all the milk is weighed as it comes into the factory and a careful ac- count is kept. The sour milk and butter- milk are conveyed to a large vat, where each farmer is allowed to get the amount he has originally brought in sweet milk, it aing estimated that enough wates will -gel lixed with it in rinsing the butter anu fhV ' pans to make up for shrinkage on account of loss of cream. As fast as the butter is made it is packed in tubs and deposited in the large, cool butter room in the basement. At the end of each month, they make what is termed an \average.\ The weight of each tub having been taken when packed, it is footed up and the total amount of but- ter on hand ascertained. Each bwner iV then allowed the same proportion of all of the butter that his milk holds to all of the milk. If he has furnished one-tenth of the milk he will own one-tenth of the butter He can take his butter away at the end o* :h month, if he wishes to, but it is not generably desirable to do so. The usual custom is for the patrons of the factory to agree on one of thoir number in whose judgment they have confidence, who shall market the butter all together, and divide the proceeds as their interest shall appear. It is never necessary to take the butter out of tho room till after it is sold, as butter-buyers know where all the cream- eries are, aud visit them constantly and regularly. The certainty of a market is considered one of the advantages of pat- ronizing the creamery. In due time we will give tho results of this new enterprise, which we have no doubt will be a success. We understand a large number of farmers intend to patron- ize the creamery as soon as it is started.
