Butter and Cheese.

The following statistics We're put
before the last national butter, and egg
convention held at Chicago
The committee on statistics reported in
reference to the estimated consumption of
butter in the United States. The report,
which was founded upon returns put
forth by the Butter and Cheese EX-
change, stated that it was estimated that
5,00O,0 600 of the population consumed one
pound of butter each per week; 10000
600 three-quarterS Of a pound each; TO-
600, 900 half a pound each, and 10000, 900
a quarter Of pound each. This was for
table use alone, and it was estimated that
One-thlrd more might be added for cult
nary purposes. This would give a total
of about 1887, 000,0 900. The exports from
Canada and the United States are about
100000, making a total product ac-
credited to the United States of sl,402,-
900, 900, which at an average value of
thirty cents per pound, gives the sum
si2O,6O0,00O as the aggregate value of this
product. In the manufacture of butter
the milk is used of over fifty-four per
cent. of the milch cows of the United
States, which are estimated TO number
over l3,000,0 900.

At the close of the Alumni address,
the Trustees and Alumni were invited
to reception at the residence of Col.
G, NJ. McGhee. Shortly after the
guests had assembled the Dickinson
Light Guards appeared with a sere-
made for Gov. Porter. When some ex-
cellent music had been discoursed by
the band the Governor appeared and
in few appropriate remarks thanked
the company for their kindness, but
excused himself from an address on
account of very severe hoarseness,
which almost prevented his speaking
above a whisper. The troops then
gave three cheers, successfully, for
Gov. Porter and AIR. Perez Dickinson
and retired. Having spent a pleasant
social hour Col. McGhee's guests
were invited to " strengthen the inner

pared for the occasion, which closed
