Extract for ColorIng Buttsr.

1t is, of course no news to anybody,
that the difficulty in marketing white
butter, has long induced butter makers,
in the season of the year when the rich
color Of June feed is not attainable, to
deepen the color of their artificial color,
ing. For this they have been in the
habit Of using preparations of annatto,
often adulterated with deleterious sub.
stances and of carrots, which gives an
unpleasant taste. The demand for a
pure, cheap and reliable coloring ex-
tract led the enterprising wholesale
druggist, Wells, Richardson & CO., of
Burlington to investigate the subject /;
and Mr.. VanPatten, the chemist of the
firm, has succeeded in producing in
fluid form the golden coloring matter of
the annatto plant, free from the shade
noticed in the crude product and free
from taste and in form which assimi-
lates readily with the butter or cheese.
Its purity and freedom from deleterious
ingredients is certified to by Prof Col
lier and of its value to dairymen there
is the highest testimony.
Mr.. Towle, the agricultural editor of
the st. Adams Messenger, and practi-
cal butter maker, says of it:
We have used the " Golden Extract"
in another column, by Wells,
Richardson d Co., for some weeks for
coloring butter, and find it to answer
the purpose admirably. But very
small quantity is required for a tub of
butter and the shade impaired is exactly
that produced by good summer pastures
or from carrots properly used, and is free
from the reddish tinge sometimes seen
where various preparations of annatto are
employed for this purpose. Very little
taste or smell is dscernable in the article
and none need hesitate using on this ac.
count neither from cost, as that is very
small and bears no comparison to the
trouble and expense of raising butter
carrots. The proprietors are readily in
Producing this preparation throughou
the country, and have received for it the
highest award at the Wisconsin Dairy
Fair, the Chicago Exposition, and vari-
Gus expositions in this State and New
York.
At the annual meeting of the Yer
mont Dairymen's Association, given
elsewhere, this Golden Extract was
also commended.

Centennial Husking Party.

An event which has been looked for
ward to with interest by large portion
of the community for several weeks, a
genuine old fashioned husking party, in
aid of the Philadelphia Centennial,
came off Thursday evening in the spa
cious barn of General N. p. Banks at
Waltham, Mass. Between 400 and 800
persons were in attendance, and the af-
fair was great success in every feature
save that the crowd was so great that
dancing and other amusements were
carried out under difficulty. A line OF
tents connected the mansion with the
barn, and these were lighted by Chinese
lanterns. The corn husking began a
bout Z o'clock and it did not take the
large and merry band but short time
to do their work, Halls Band furnish.
ed agreeable music during the husking,
and this part of the programme was
evidently greatly enjoyed.
The company then repaired to the
house and partook of an old fashioned
supper Of baked beans, brown bread,
etc. The interior Of the mansion was
appropriately decorated with bunting,
and several ladies present were attired
in the costume of olden time. Mr.. Ma
than Warren, hero of the war of 1912
now is in his eighty-second year, was
present, and wore the uniform of that
period. Among others who participated
besides General Banks, were the Hon.
Gideon Hayes, the Hon N. w. Farwell
ex-Mayor of Lewiston, Me, Mr.. Z. A
Samuels of the Ploughman, the Rev. Z.
c. Guild, the Rev. T f. Fales and the
Rev. E. E. Strong. The barn floor was
cleared and dancing closed the evening
festivities.

called Golden Extract of Annatto,'
perfected be the skill and persistent in

the firm of Wells, Richardson and Co.
of Burlington, Vt, having been found
by practical experiments, and scientific
examination, by the best known experts
and chemists in that special department
to be greatly superior to any preparation
heretofore in use for the purpose, this
Association, in grateful recognition of
the valuable service thus rendered to the
interest which it represents, directs that
the name of Mr.. Van Patten be entered
upon its roll of honorary members, and
that he be notified of his election as
above.

There is nothing especially different
TO add to the November elections as re.
ported last week. The republicans gain
ed largely in every State with the single
exception of Mississippi where the free
dom of free country was exercised by
intimidating the colored voters. In
Maryland the republicans gain, but one
instance is given where nineteen negroes
were arrested on some frivolous charge
so as to prevent them from voting. This
kind of game will not aid the democrats.
1t is too nearly related to the late de-
funct slave power to command anything
but the unanimous condemnation of all
Union men. Kansas is to be added to
the States that voted last week and
elected the republican ticket by large
majority. The States as they voted
last year gave over 100000 democratic
majority; as they voted this year they
gave over 10000 republican majority.

DARTMOUTH CoLLEGE.-A number of
students at Dartmouth College last week
attended an auction at the store of ].
B. Parker, where it is alleged they broke
furniture, windows, and assaulted Par
ker. Ten of them have been arrested
and were taken to Plymouth for trial.
Several hundred students went to the
depot at Norwich to see them off, and
surrounded Parker sufficiently to pre-
vent him from leaving on the train, as
plaintiff in the suit, and drove him into
the ticket office, into which it is also re-
ported they threw a dog through the
window to keep him company. If the
reports are true it is very disgraceful
affair on the part of the college boys.
They have sent for Harry Brigham of
Littleton and S. B. Page of Concord to
defend them, and the trial itself will
doubtless be lively affair.

WOULDN'T STRIKE HIS FLAG.-Cap-
tain Thomas G. Young, of Augusta.
Me-, who died in that city on the 3lst
ult, was veteran whalesman, and had
sailed out Of the port of New Bedford for
someforty years. Near the close of the war
he achieved brilliant reputation for
his patriotism and personal bravery in
refusing to surrender his whaling vessel,
the barque favorite to the rebel pirate
Shenandoah, in the Attic ocean, the cir
cumstances attending which are as fol-
lows; 1t seems that upon the approach
of one of the Shenandoahs boats he
hauled out great bomb gun which he
kept for signals armed his men with
muskets and warned the officer that he
would fire into his boat if he did not
draw off. The Shenandoah then steam
ed alongside, the commander ordered
Capt. Young to haul down his flag and
the following conversation ensued
Haul it down yourself if you thing
1t will be good for your constitution
" If you don't haul it down we'll blow
you out of water said the officer.
Blow away my buck, but may | be
eternally blasted if l haul down that
flag for any cussed confederate pirate
that ever foated"
The commander of the Shenandoah
admired the oldfellow's bravery so much
that he did not fire a shot at the craft.
but brought him and his crew off through
an armed boats crew.
The old veteran had claim at the
time Of his death, amounting to some
$4,000, pending before the court of
commissioners of Alabama claims at
Washington.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A Train
Saturday morning between 2 and 8 o.
clock, short time before the arrival of
the night express from Boston, a man
living a short distance this side of Rox.
bury station, on the Central road thought
he heard voice in the direction of the
track, and dressing himself proceeded
in the direction of the sounds. As he
approached the track, he saw two men
running away, and on investigation he
found that they had partially removed
the spikes and chairs from one of the
rails, evidently with the intention Of
throwing the train from the track. The
train could be heard coming in the dis.
lance, and having no other means Of
signalling, the man tore the lining from
his vest. and setting fire to it succeeded
in attracting the attention of the enpi.
neer, who stopped the train just in time.

After thus getting from $40 to $50 out
