BUTTER FAMrNE.--The people Of this
burg were suffering considerable incon-
venience on account of the want of good
butter, none of which could be had for
love or money for some time preceding
last Monday. Husbands growled, wives
laid the fault on the grocery men, and
boarders left the fatty substance pre-
sented to them untouched. On Monday
morning early, however, the people were
equally surprised and pleased to hear that
Poujade had brought in shipment OF
butter by express. Everybody recog-
nized the enterprise which caused him to
ship the article in this expensive way,
and he has been disposing of it ever since,
at price that covers the expenditure.
If business man ever deserves the thanks
of the community, Poujade certainly does
in this instance.
