\ LEAGUE AGAINST DUTTER.-The
Grades Assembly" Of Albany, n. Y. have
adopted resolution that the price of but
ter has been'advanced beyond the cost OF
food, and they have resolved to abstain from
the use of butter in any way whatever
When we consider that in this place some
have had the etfrontery to ask sixty cent:
for pound of this article, it become. ques
tionabe whether every family ought not tC
form itself into trades assembly and imi
tate the example of the Albanians. Butter
is luxury and not necessity, the best wa,
to operate upon and put down extortion i
to resolve upon total abstinence.
