The farmers throughout this section of the
country devote great deal Of their attention
to dairying and consequently arc interested
in the subject of Butter-Colors, and DESTROYS
of asccrtainng which of the many in the
market is the best and also the cheapest. 1t
Is n noticeable fact that at the Agricultural
Fairs in New York and the New England
States, the Improved Butter Color, made
by Wells Richardson & Co., of Burlington,
VT, has taken first premiums wherever cx-
hibted, trumphing over all competitors. Its
superiority over ali others, is marked by the
following properties; 1t aeUer turns rancid
as so many of the oil colOrs do. 1t gives a
natural, bright color which is Just what is
desired, result which is often promised but
seldom if ever obtained by others. 1t is far
the strongest and therefore the cheapest but
ter color made. 1t gives universal satisfac'
ton, and dairymen who have once used i,

John p. Howard, Esq, who never weares
in well doing, has made proposition to the
parishioners of st. Paul's to replace the pres
ent rectory with new building in keeping,
in respect to architecture and finish, with the
beautiful church buildings. The present
rcctory purchased in 1850 was built about
half century ago and hardly answers mod
ern requirements while IL is far from cores
popding properly with the church buildings,
which are noble specimens of ecclesiastical ar
chtectuic The gift Of new rcctory is ms
timely and appropriate as 1t Is generous. The
church was already under great obligations
to Mr.. Howard for splendid munticence,
continued through long series of years. and
this new token of his interest and generosity
will give him an added claim to long and
pleasant remembrance.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co, have
just begun the erection Of building just in
the rear of their new building. 1t Is to he
of brick, four stories aud basement fifty.six
by sevcnty.five feet, and the contract calls
for its completion within SIX weeks. A large
force of men arc now under employment
and work is progressing very rapidly. The
engine and boiler room will be located in the
new building, and one of its features will be
a chimney eighty feet high. The building
will be principally devoted to the manufac-
ture of butter color and the Diamond dyes,
of which Wells, Richardson e. Co. are sell
ing immense quantities. The sale OF the
dyes has now reached 10000 gross or l ,5O0,-
900 packages per month, and 1t is constantly
increasing. The members of the firm rank
among our most upright, enterprisipg and
publlc-spirited citizens, and all our people re-
o ice in their prosperity.

THE ALDERMEN,s MEETING.
An Unpleasan Showing as 10 the.City
Finances.

The solemn business of Mondays session
of the Beard of Aldermen was the city
treas urers report of the condition of the
city finances, from which it appeared that
the accounts of the various city departments
were overdrawn to an amount above 5000
Alderman Brink tried to draw out some OF
the latent sunshine in the business by stating
that the water department has $4,000 to
$500 worth of coal on hand and paid for,
which OF course the trcasurcr's figures take
no account of. The discussion following the
report showed some mere or less welghty
disagreement as to the exact respon-
sibiity for the overdraughts. Alder
man ..Algcr wanted the responsibility
brought home to somebody and though an
investigating committee should be appointed.
He took sombre view of the prospects for
next years taxes. Alderman Peck thought
Alderman Ayers suggestions should be act
ed on and so moved that the report be refer
red back TO the treasurer, and that COM
mittce of two be appointed by the president
pro tenn. (Mr. Taft, President Woodbury.
being absenD TO look up the matters and re-
port suggestions at the next meeting in re-
gard to the departments that appear to have
ovcrdrawn their accounts. The motion was
adopted and Aldermen Algcr and Taylor
were appointed rs the committee.
franklin Whites petition for leave to roof
| in shed and build a barn extension on King
street did not state whether the roof and
structure were to be Of non-inflammablc ma
tcrial and SO it was referred To the proper
committee.
| The completion of the water pipe extern
sion to supply the families in the new group
of houses on the North Bend was ordered, al
though the pipe runs through an un0cceptcd
street. Alderman Brink stated the amount
of expenditure required at something over
$500.
Alderman Taylor moved to reconsider the
adoption OF rule 10 of the Board providing
that mo action, unless by unanimous con-
sent shall be had upon any bill not filed with
the clerk at least "a hours before the meeting
of this board" The motion was ruled out by
the president and the subject dropped. The
Board Adjourned TO mex. Monday night.
During the meeting the clerk urged upon
the board the importance of putting the safe
vault in better condition. Its present cas-,
stream Of water should be turned on them
while heated in fire. lie also made known
the fact that many police badges have beer
bought at various times, of which no account
has been rendered though samples of then
have way of turning up at the opera house
frequently, adjoining numerous deadhcat
breasts. AS the board were then abou
concurring in the mayors order for dozcI
new badges he thought the whereabouts o
the old ones should be ascertaincu.

therefore, beware. In the second place,
when you think Of taking wife, l would
have you submit her to the test l shall
prescribe. 1t was the custom with the
original owners of the Pearl, and my
family continued it, for the eldest son to
take that maiden for his wife who, among
many gems more glittering, made choice
of the Black Pearl. My mother made
that choice, and my ancestresses for three
generations. Thereby they secured hon
or and contentment to their husbands.
So, take the talsman, my white son, and
use it for n deep wisdom underlies the
usage-seeing that the maiden who pre-
fers wonderful rare gem, though lus-
treless, to others more brilliant and color
ed, must have a discreet and pure II ind
I have said all I only wait your pro-
mise"
The dying man ceased speaking, amp
the face he turned towards Cecil took on
more death-like hue. The low chant
ing outside had begun again, adding it's
weird pathos to the solemn scene.
Cecil was hardly aware how strong an
influence over him was possessed by the
man who had bestowed on him so strange
n legacy, and required him to register 30
singular n vow.
Had he been in love, perhaps he would
have refused to make it and, indeed,
his English common-sense rebelled. But
it seemed small sacrifice to make for a
dying friend. He hesitated moment, re-
garding the talismanic gem in his hand.
Then lie said slowly, but firmly, II pro-
mise y
A wan smile lighted the face of Sakra
MUM. He whispered, Embrace me, my
son |"
But MS Cecil leaned forward to comply,
sudden indescribable change convulsed
the features of the monk, and when &C.
Gil touched his lips they were those Of a
corpse.
"The end of righteousness is rest,
sang the neophytes outside, unconscious
that to their master that end had come.
