tavern that is absolutely necessary for the
accommodation OF The travelling public, as

sis, beer, cider, or even coffee or tea, at un-
licensed houses, without the risk Of being
dragged to Court;-in which case, even if

DO severe punishment.
Resoived--That this meeting approve
Of the course pursued by Governor Por-
ter, in suffering the bill relative TO tavern
licenses 10 become law without his sig
nature /: His refusing 10 sign it is sufi-
cient evidence that he did not approve Of
it, and as no permanent injury was likely
70 accrue 10 the community, nor no plea of
"char.ered privileges" or "vested rights"
could be set up against its repeal, he did
righ, to lei the odium ofthis laW rest npon
those acho passed IL, that the people Of
Pennsylvania may not only HEAR, but FEEL
and SEE what the principles Of the men who
compose the majority Of the present Legis-
Iature are, and what may be expected from
a Legislature, with Governor Of the same
stamp, uninauenced by any regard for the
lights Of others; arstocra,ic and yranical
in their manners, sordid, corrupt, and de.
based in their morals, if we are 10 judge by
their actions; yet wish the world to believe
they are patriots and saints.
On motion, the above preamble and ieso
lutions. with the amendmenis,w were adopted
by the meeting.

Nsp MstEOd Of ;ncrsasing Butter.

MR. EDTToR--A lady of this town a few days SEQ
 had occasion to churn some cream the product of verdi days milking from one cow-and after the ordi- nary time, the butter was made and separated from the milk. The milk was then laid aside for other uses, where it remained some days. From the cir cumstance of considerable cream rising, the good housewife induced to put it again into the churn, and try the experiment Of making more butter-when To! alter few minutes an amount equal in quantity to the first, though not in quality was produced The philosophy of the thing suppose to be, that at the first churning as the milk consisted of number of days milking, part only of the butter became sepa rated from :he mlk-the remainder, in the language of the dairy, did not "come." Now, confess do not know but that this is a common occurrence; but as it was new to me, have given the facts of the case-and would make the inquiry of dairy folks, is it SO? ISABEL,
