For fally two years tbe Rbcokukr bis advocated the establishing of a dairy farm in Ibis city. We are of the opinion dLat a canvass in this city wonld show that the milk irom twenty or thirty cows could he sold at a fair price, if delivered every morning and evening. As it is. however, tho people prefer t J keep cows, in pref- cruneo to he obliged to take milk when they can get it. From the extract below, which wo cull from the Albany News, it will be seen that n gentleman in that city bns determined to try the dairy business. We shall watch bis report with inleresL For tha benefit of thu credulous oues, we present his plana: Air. E. H.

The other Sunday, in the midst of the ser vices, Mr. Hoff, who aits immediately behind Mr. Collamo**, saw a spider crawling over the letter’s held Lead. Hia first impulse wee to nudge him end tell him about it, bat be remembered that Mr. Coilaifiore wet deaf, so he lifted np hia band and brushed the spider off. Hoff didn't aim quito high enough, und, in bin nervousness, be hit old C'ollamore quite a sore re blow. Tha old gentleman turned around in • rage toaeewhohad dared to taka sneli a liberty with him, and Hoff began to ex plain with gestures. But (Vdlamore. in a loud voice, demanded wbat it meant. It was very painful to Hoff. The oyos of tbo fougnegatirai were upon him. and he grew red in tho face. "There was a spider on yonr head.” “A whito place on my head, bey 7 8'poae there is, wlmt'a that to you? Youll know what it is to bo bald-headed your self some day." "It waa a spider,* shrieked Hoff, while tire perspiration began to roll off bis face. "Certainly it's wider,” said Collamore, "and got more in it than yours, lint let it alonn —do you mind? Yon may let my head nlono in cburcb." “Air. Cplbnaorc,” shrieked Hoff, “there waa a spider on your head, anil I brushed him off—this way,” aud Hoff tnade another gesture at Collamore'a hood. Tho old man thought ho was going to tight him then and there, and hurling a hymn book nt Hoff, he seized tho kneeling stool on tho Door of the pew and was about to bong Mr. Hoff, when the sexton inter fered. An explanation wna written on the By-leaf of the hymn book, where upon Mr. Collnmoro apologized in n boisterous voice, and resumod bin nont. They think of asking Mr. Collnmoro to worshjp elsewhere.

He wouldn't pull a pound, but n good rider could single-fool hiru down from Capi tol hill to onr stable with a full glean of water in each hand and nevor spill n drop, and at better than n fonr-munto gait, too.
