| At the Old Foundry.
Mr.. Geo. w. Wells presided at the
foundry tent temperance meeting, last
Dight, and opened the exercises with
selection from the Scriptures, OCCASION
ally stopping his readi ng for a few sec
ond, when some thougn,less persons in
the audience would indulge IN audibl
conversation, and waning until silence
was restored. MIR. Fox led the sing
ing.
Mr.. Geo. w. Day was the first sneaker
and obeyiug the injunction of Mr.. Wells
to be brief, he spoke for a minutes iu a
vigorous aud effective manner, deliver
ing some solid arguments and plain facts
based upon personal temperance ex-
pef1ence OF forty years-in favor of total
aosUince. His remarks were attenuvely
listened TO.
Mr.. Wells next spoke, and alluded to
the temperance question as a factor in
the approaching elections. For his part,
he was not going TO be bound by the be-
hests OF paIly, aDd was going 10 keep a
particularly sharp look out for the man
who attempts to carry water on both
shoulders by currying favor with the
temperance men and the liquor element
at The same time. If the two political
parties did not consult the temperance
sentiment in their nominations, ne
thought the temperance people should
take the matter in their own hands.
Mr.. Hamilton and John Fox made
short addresses in the same strain, and
the meeting closed with the doxology
and the benediction by Mr.. Day.
The Bogus Butter.
tits a well known fact that the chemi-
cal production known as Oleomargarine
a sort compound of beef fat and butter
milk, has been sold in this city for a mum
Der of weeks past, under the garb Of gen.
uine butter. The sale of the stuff is quite
! extensive, one genuine butter man esl-
mating the amount at five tons per week.
II is manufactured in Philadelphia,
though the oil who forms It's is basis pre-
pa red by a firm in thus city.
The dealers In genuine butter are now
organizing crusade against this beet
rat butter, not with the design of driving
1t out of the market, but 10 prevent IL
from being sold except under Its rightful
name, SO that customers may buy il
knowing and without being imposed up
on. To this end petiuon is being Cir
cuiated asking Council TO pass an ordi-
nance imposing penalty upon any per.
son who shall offer this oleomargarine
Tor sale in auy store or MAJ ket within the
CITY limits under the. name of butter. An
ordin like this tits claimed, will put
the new style of butter upon its own mer
It's, prevenC the people from being i'm
posed upon, aud enable the dealers in
genuine butter 10 fairly compete with
the new article. The petition is being
numerously signed, and will dou btless be- (
p esented TO City Council at to-night's |
meeting.
