PRosPEcrs FOR BUTTRB.-TheIe will
undoubtedly be a scarcity Of good butter
during the coming winter. In fact there
always has been, but from this on, until
next spring, the price must rule high; for,
while the exceptionally fine fall weather
has kept the pastures flush and green,
the previous drouth had so dried the cows
that the full measure Of benefit could not
be realized only in those exceptional
cases where plenty Of water and full
feed had been provided during the pre-
vious dry weather.
The high price Of butter has tended TO
draw out considerable quantities Of that
which has heretofore been kept for win
ter sales, and there seems now to DO but
little doubt that, before the winter is half
gone, those lots Of butter that are Of such
excellent quality as to keep perfectly will
bring higher figures than have ever be-
fore prevailed.

A runaway occurred on Water street
yesterday afternoon. The horse and wagon
Of Arbenz & Co., furniture dealers, was
left standing near the railroad bridge
crossing Water street, and an engine
passing over at that time frightened the
animal terribly, and the way he fetched
that express along WAS caution 10 even
railway speed. Nothing, however, was
damaged except the street awning at
Taylor & Armstrong; store, which can
only be repaired by new one.
