Olc0margarine.

Forbes, in letter from st. Adams to
the Boston Journal, says: Franklin
county is famed for its gilt edged dairy
production, and the aggregate amount
of butter sent to market from this sec
tion annually approxinates 5000, 900
pounds, or 2, 800 tons. The dairymen
in this county have looked with appre-
hension on the manufacture of oleo-
margarine, but they nevertheless had q
feeling Of security against the intro
duction of this bogus butter In their
home market. They reasoned that Il
would be as profitless as carrying Goals
to Newcastle, to bring "oleo" to St.
Adams for sale. However, this manu-
featured imitation of butter has re-
Gently been brought here in large guam
titles from Boston, put upon the mar
ket, purchased BY our merchants, ,and.
retailed TO customers and catch by
them as the pure and choice product of
our best diaries. Many households in
st. Adams will be surprised to be in
formed In the Journal that the mem.
bers thereof have innocently been con-
sumers of oleomargarine to a greater
or less extent. during the past few daJs.
| have ascertained that st. Adams
butter buyer recently purchased a
number of thirty-pound packages of
"oleo" in Boston and shipped it here,
where the commoditylwas received by q
farmer accomplice and taken into the
country. On market days this "oleo
dairyman" has been in the habit OF
coming to town with this imported
product, which he represented as
choice butter, and under this false rep.
resentation the spurious butter has
been purchased at the highest market
price by a leading butter buyer of st.
Adams. He in turn sold the "oleo" to
some Of our prominent merchants, who
retailed the same to their customers,
the transactions all being conducted in
good faith by the various parties inter-
ested. IL mny be proper to state in
this connection that there is fine OF
$500 on such sales where the seller
knowingly disposes of "oleo" as but

Mr.. EDITOR:
The reply of Mr.. Fuller, in the Jour.
nal, to my letter which appeared in the
Register three weeks ago needs some
correcting TO make II true statement
Of facts. 1t would seem to be more ju-
dicious In him to adhere strictly to the
truth than to sign previously written
balderdash written by Justus Cobb, or
anyone else who writes simply for eff.
feet without regard to truth or for any
thing else. His statement that the
books show, that the business was such
that there should be no unpaid debts
but fair balance left after paying all
expenses, needs little explanation to
be correctly understood. Provided we
had both worked without any recon-
pense this would have been true. 1 in.

A Scotch minister once SAID no wo.
man could bear pain as well as a man.
That is not so. The fact is generally
the other way. Mrs. Edward Meyers,
of Rondour, N. Y, submitted to the
operation of the removal of her hand
by amputation, without taking ether,
or moving a muscle or uttering q
groan. DIR. Kennedy, also of Rond-
out, N. Y, who performed the opera
ton, said he never saw such heroism.
The lady's disease was erysipelas, and
afterwards the Doctor gave his "Fayo-
rite Remedy" to cleanse the blood.
Mrs. Meyers is now well and strong.
DIR. Kennedy's "Favoritc Remedy" at

female weaknesses and all complaints
arising from bad blood. But that
