This, we are sorry to say, is the case with quite a number of our agricultut'ists. The cause for such a decline in the price of butter is to them a puzzle as a heavy loss, and the partial failure of the spring crops the some time, ’ seems to verify the trite observation that " ini>iortuncs seldom cninc singly." That there has been over production of butter there is no reason to believe, so , that cannot be the cause of present low prices. A better reason given. and what seems to be the true one, is, that there are prodigious quantities of those frond- ulent. imitations of butter known by the names of olcomargurinc and buttci'iuc sold over the world under the name of the genuine article. The manufacture of this fraudulent compound is CXLCU‘ _ sivcly carried on in Chicago, the statis- tics of its manufacture there showing.r that from May 1st, 1883, to May 1st, 158-}, the product \Vun about ten million pounds. and from May 1st, 1884, to May Ist, 1885, thirteen million pounds, while that of the current year was ex- pected to reach twenty million pounds Such immense quantities coming into the world's market in competition with the genuine produce of the dairy could, not fail to glut the market. and lower prices to an unprecedented degree. The above facts \t'crc brought into prominent notice lit a dairymcn’s cou- vciition reocntly held in Chicago, and the Convention agreed to link the Legis- iltttii'cs of thc .“tfi't'l'ill States: to place a tax of ten cents it pound on the bogus article. The dcinu‘ud was made as well III the interest of the consumers as of the dairyincn. A Mr. _I"ag_custcin, a chemist who was present in the conven- tion, claimed that btittcriuc was tint only uuwholcsomc, but poisonous to the system of the enter. It was 9. villain- ous concoction of the refuse of the pack- ing house transformed into the scmb lance of' butter, and fraudulently ini- posed upon Europl-uus. It usually con- tained nitric, sulphuric, u.uri:ttic and hydrochloric acids, as well as ulkalics and soap. We should think that the knowledge of these facts will go far to drive this article out of the market, as the idea of feeding on soft snap in not it pleasant. one even to a hungry mutt. Its sale under the name ofbuttcr ahould. and will be. dealt with us it criminal oilciicl: in Europe, and, punishment be- ing meted out to offenders, a dangerous rival to honest but.cl‘ makers will be exterminutcd.

There was, ituppcars, something wrong with his head and his heart, and slight'attacks oi faintncas, at unequal intervals, were followed, a month or so ago, by one so severe that he himself expressed the opinion that he wooid not. recover, but the next. day he was able to leave the house. Last Tuesday eliciting he felt as Well as usual, and after taking his ten \vciit down town. About 7 o'clock he was in McFuriund's store, where, after talking ttwliilc, he sat down near one of the windows and complained of a pain in his head, which soon grew so bad that he said he thought he had better go home, and acctirdingly arose and WL'ul. out. Upon reaching the side- walk he commenced to stagger, and would have fallen, but he was caught by Mr. Geo. Rutherford and Mr. Bob- ert Elliott, who carried him back into the store and laid him on the floor, where he broke into a profuse sweat and commenced to vomit. He spok‘ ti few broken words, and when Dr. E. S. Wilson leunt over him he recognized him and said he was “ done.” One of Mr. Bui'lcyla sons, who had been sent for, got a buggy, in which his father was taken home, where he «lied about? o'clock next morning, the cause of death being npoplcxy, or the bursting of a blood vcsScl in the brain. As he was it member of L. O. L 996, the funeral was conducted with Orange ceremonies, about. sixty brethren being present.
