REPORT ON BUTTER.

Extract from The Report on Butter 10 The .Rer-
riDlack County ~ H. Agricultural Society.
Butter made in Joe Bankers family needs
to be eaten in the dark; then to make it pass,
well one or two other senses should be laid
aside-while that made by his brother Jona-
than may be eaten in the full blaze of noon !;
you would wish your neck rs long again that
you might have the pleasurable sensation OF
swallowing prolonged. Perhaps bit of the
history oftheir better halves will explain the
whole matter.
Joe's wife was Sally SIy-when small girl
she was sly--she would not half wash the
milk pail and sly It away and let it souri,
She was sly at school and did not half get her
| lessons, bur would have her book in sight
when reciting: but as she grew older she
learned that to get well married she must
appear well, and so she bent all her cunning
&c get superficial education in everything,
from roasting Il Potatoe to playing The piano.
Poor Joe fell in love with her, and Glove has
no eyes,"-so lie married her. But soou
after she entered on housekeeping h!a eve
sight came, and he saw bis fix that it was
"tor better or worse > aud he thought it all
for worse. Like true philosopher be con-
cludcd to endure what he could not avoid
nor cure, and got along tolerably well only
when lie came TO her butter-for his mother
was u real butter maker. Every time lie saw
or tasted ofSaIly's bntter he felt the horrors.
Her manner ofmaking butter was something
rs follows: she thinks it ONO consequence
whether the milk pail is sweet or sour-sei.
the milk in warm "Reminiscences it is ga
sier than to go to the cellar, and il some dirt
should blow into the pans, she thinks every
man must Seat Il peck ofdrt," and no place
will il slip down i'll easier than in butter: size
lets the cream pots be open and when she
churns torgets the poke; leaves the cream Mt
nearly at blood heat that it may come quick.
When she takes it out ofthe churn she picks
the legs and wings are SO small they can be
swallowed. She works out half INC butter
milk and sets it away in warm place for use.
Poor Joe has seen so much butter of this
kind that hutter does not agree with his health
and he will not taste it. Yet Sally wonders
why he does not try ii, and marvels why he
does not keeps dairy, and make butter for
market.
JohnaIhan was younger brother office,
and he had had occasion 10 eat ut his broth
er's enough to know why he could not ear
butter; and he declared he never would mar
ry without knowing what his bread would
he buttercd with. Following the bent Crhis
fancy, he made several attempts at innfrnlc-
NY, and Julia Juniper almost caught him, for
there was always good butter on the table az
tea, but he was determined to know whd
made it. On ipguiry-She snys, ia me!

Charming a Snake.

In the morning of the Sd of December we
awoke early, when | was much surprised by
my friend, Lieut.. Baillie, calling out, "a snaIe
a snale look at the snalke!" w all stared at
him lying in his hammock, and to our aston
shmeut, beheld monstrOus serpent twisted
around the rope which supported his ham
mock, with his head some distance above my
friends, darling out its for,Ied tongue, and
examining him as he lay stretched below.
'Lie still, he wont hurt you," cried the fiscal,
and calling in some of the natives, he point
ed il out TO them. One cf these men adj
vancing towards it, caught its eye with his
own; the animal now appeared TO move his
whole body with fear or pleasure. The ma
! tive stepped backwards, without turning the
/ sight of his eye from the fierce orbit of his
enemy; and as he kept backing, the snake
with his head steadily advancing, gradually
uncoiled itself from the rope around which
it was twiued. Al length its whole body
trailing on the ground, moved slowly along
after this colored uan-eye fixed upon eye
until youth, making dash from behind L
bush, IN an instant Eattened the head OF this
dangerous monster with one blow of his
club; and although the body still undulaieC
like waves of the sea, il was perfectly harm,
less, not being able TO seize with lis month
They Immediately hauled it to the branch of
a tree, and as our cooks in Europe serve AZ
eel, they skinned him, while the poor ANNA
was writing in the agonies Of pain. Thi:
snake was called tho Libare, and measured
10 I-2 feet in length.-C2i. 81. Glars resi-
