BrrrrR MIXED wIrm LABD.-We have fire.
quently heard it said that brandy and sugar
mixed would improve the taste. and that lemon
ade mixed with little claret, is quite pleasant
to take. But we cannotsay that batter and lard
mixed is an improvement TO the quu!ityor the
butter. We had fair test Of this mixture last
week. Having procured roll of fine looking
butter, We looked forward to the enjoyment OF Il
feast on Christmas, on what we supposed to be
as Gne an er;clo ae good cream and careful man
ipulation ever produced. Bat behold our disap-
pointment when upon dividing the roll, VIC dis
covered the centre occupied with large lamp OF
lard Being uuaccustomed TO mixtures OF the
kind, our appetite failed TO appreciate it. Ih:
market man is marked, FOR We do not desire &c
again become .ha unfoltuaut. purchaser Of mix
ed butter. The man who viii thus cheat print
y
butter will surey not long go unnot.cei
FINE IMPRovEMESTs. the double fran,
house. on Raspberry street, lat ly erected by MIR
VIM. Engleman, is great improvement to thai
part of the town. Mr.. EnglewaH has four more
houses under way to be ready for occupancy b.
spring. These houses are suitably arranged fl
tenant houses, ana he finds plenty Of customer
at fair rents. The demand for houses has ncve
been greater in this place than now. If some Q
our noneyed men would follow the example c
MIR. Englcman in building good houses on thei
unoccuped ground, it would not only improy
the town. but would give new comcrs a com ort
able home, and pay the property holders goo
interest for the money Invested. Mr.. Engiona
is deserving of much credit for setting the exam
pie of improvement, as well as for proviin
dwellings for those who come here TO make on
place their future home.
