PATENT RUTTER.
Another Invention for syyindiing tn
Farmer.

The last dodge of the scoundrels who
plunder farmers is thus commented on b,
the Journal of Chemistry. We do not See
how papers like the New England Farne,
can reconcile the publication of advertise.
ments from these scamps with their duty tc
the farming community, upon which they
rely tor support. And yet we find this very
swindle circulated without warning in the
Farmers advertising columns. The Jour-
nal of Chemistry says:
''The need of diffusion of more practical
scientific information among all classes is
clearly shown in the readiness with which
people become victims TO some of the most
absurd tricks and schemes which the fer
tile brains of cunning men can invent
The most recent OF these tricks surpasses
In audacity all others which we have heard
Of A patent butter company have Open
ed offices IN this and in other cities, TO
show people how to make a pound of good
butter out ofa pint ofmilk, and to sell them
rights TO make, and also little white pow
der, which Is the agent used to perform
the magic work. At the Office of the
company they do not ask the eager pur-
chaser to believe their statements: but thew
churn the butter before his eyes. A pint
of milk, with half pound of good butter
is put into little tin churn, with SPOON
ful of the powder; the whole is warmed,
and then five minutes churning brings out
one and half pounds of good butteri Here
is demonstration! What can be more con-
vincing? No ona suggests to the enter
prlslng company that nearly nine-tenths
the milk used is water, and, if they per-
form what they allege, they are changing
water into butter. This would, indeed, be
a miracle equal to that of our Saviour, who
changed water into wine. We have been
asked many times by intelligent gentlemen
how this thing can be explained. Very
easily. BY the process, the whole of the
pint of milk mostly composed of water) is
driven into or blended with the half pound
of melted butter put into the churn-
There is no important increase of real
butter in the churn, although the
watery mass, which looks like infe-
rior butter, weighs more. Put the mass
into dish, andbeat it, and the true butter
will separate from the milk or water with
which il is blended This is the method
by which butter and lard are greatly adul-
terated. Nearly all the lard sold by grooers
containa from 25 to 40 per cent Of water.
The adulterators have not been able until
within the past year or two to combine
with genuine lard more than twenty-five
per cent. of water; but recently, by the
use OF alkaline carbonates partly saponify-
ing the lard. they force into association
more than 40 per cent.

Accident ON the Pacific Railroad.

FROM tne cheyenne Leader, June 20. b
Through the kindness of friend, who
came down on last nights train, we have
the particulars of the accident which &C.
CURED to a train bound east. when near
Laramie, yesterday. Exaggerated reports
of the extent of damage done were current
in town last evening. We lay the follow
ing facts before our readers, and they may
be considered correct: About 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, an excursion train, having
on board Ben Wade and a party of Com
gressional notables and other distinguished
persons, when nearing the crossing of the
Laramie River bridge, some three miles
west Of Laramie City, ran into large herd
of cattle. AL the cars, some five in num-
Der, were thrown from the track, and the
tender was completely smashed. One per-
SOC, the brakeman was killed. Several of
the passengers sustained some bruises,
none of them, however, of serious nature.
Eleven head Of cattle were killed. The
delay of the regular train, due here last
evening at 2 o'clock, was occasioned by the
time consumed in the removal of the wreck
from the track. 1t arrived about 4 o'clock
this morning. $: ~ ffse.iz .t 4. 4

THE FIRST YATAL HALLow EVE.

1nE fln5I FATAL 6ALLOW Eve.
II was ll-Hallow Eve, q night long an
ticipated with delight by the whole neigh
borhood, and much longer still remembered
with horror by the whole country.
1t was the occasion of Sybil Berners
mask ball; and Black Hall, the Black Val
ley, and the town of Blackville were al in
slate of unprecedented excitement; for
this was the first entertainment of the kind
that had ever been given in the locality,
and the gentry Of three CONTIGUOUS coun-
ties had been invited to assist at it.
The throng at Black Hall was great, and
the characters sustained by the makers
were various and veil sustained. =
But far the most reautiful, far the most
terrible figure in tho pageantry of the even-
ing, was that of Sybj erners ShS had
chosen for her character the unpa ecAdent-

nature. Her costume was but the outvar /
sign of the inward rorvor. "a
Sybl had confided the secret of her cos
tune to no one bit her husband, who was
himself attired as ssHarold the Saxon. I"
while Mrs Blondelle assumed thel charac-
ter of Edith the Fair"
Sybil had not been in the room long be-
fore the coquetting of her husband and
Mrs. Biondelle drove her nearly to distrac-
ton. Observing that whenever sh came
near them they were on their guard, Sybil
exchanged disguises with one of her guests
and intimate friends, Beatrix Pendleton,

consisting of man and wife and two chill
dren, reside about four miles east of Mr.. II.
Boone's, near Edwards. The man left
home IN the morning for work, and on re-
turning at night found no one at home, and
made search for them Knowing that his
wife intended to go to a neighbor's during
the day, living on the opposite side of the
creek, he proceeded to the place they were
in the habit of crossing. We are informed
hat the family were In the habit of fcrossing
the stream On raft made for the purpose.
Nothing was to be seen of wife or children,
but a small bundle found at the waters
edge was convincing proof that they had
went there for the purpose of crossing. and
forced the unwelcome thought upon the
mind of the husbend and father, that his
loved ones had, perhaps, met watery
grave. The neighbors knew nothing of
their whereabouts, and under the circum-
stances were forced to the conclusion that
they were drowned. The next day the citi-
zens Of the neighborhood turned out and
dragged the creek for the purpose of find
ing them. The day was spent in the search,
and one ofthe children found in pile of
driftwood. On Monday the search was re-
lewed, and the mother and other child
found. Ht.s -eSII
