EXTRACT ron CoIomNG BUrTni--ltis no news,
Of course, to anybody that the difficulty in market
ing white butter has long induced butter-makers,
In the seasons Of the year when the rich color
given by the June feed is not attainable to deepen
the color of their butter by artificial ooloring
For this they have been in the habit of using
preparations Of annatto, often adultented with
deleterious substances, and OF carrots, which give
an unpleasant taste The demand for pure,
cheap and reliable coloring extract led the on
tcrprising wholesale druggists, Wells, Richardson
& Co, of Burlington, to investigate the subject;
and Mr.. Nanpatten, the chemist of the firm has
succeeded in producing, in fluid form, the golden
cooring matter OF the annato plant, free from the
red shade noticed in the crude product, and free
from taste, and In form which assimilates readily
with the butteror cheese. Its purity and freedom
from deleterious ingredients is certified to by
Professor Collier; and Of its value to dairymen
there is the highest testimony.

Greene who, with his wife had that day returned
from his bridal trip. Although the weather was
exceedingly unpleasant the darkness being so
thick that foot passengers (unless they had Ian
terns) were obliged to look up to the tree tops to
keep themselves from falling into the ditch. and
the rain poured down increasingly, forcing its way
through both umbrella and waterproof. and
making such miniature lakes and rivers in the
roads that an attempt to cross them on foot was
quite hazardous yet in spite Of all these obstacles
put forward by the very ungallant clerk of tho
weather, large company was at an early hour
assembled at the waiting rooms ut the depot,
showing that the society was as little afraid Of
water as Of that other and most antagonstic ele-
ment, so much dreaded by many From thence,
when all were assembled, the company proceeded,
in somewhat irregular line of march, to the
residence of Mr. A. Clifford on Central street,
where Mr.. and Mrs Greene are boarding Though
very much surprised to see such merry crowd OF
people pour in upon them on such stormy night
