The farmers throughout this section Of the
country devote good deal Of attention to
dairying and consequently are interested in
the subject Of Buttcr-COlors, and DESTROYS Of
ascertaining which of the many in the market
Is the best and also the cheapest 1t is Il
noticeable fact that, ut the Agricultural Fairs
in New York and the New England states,
The Improved Butter Color, made by Wells,
Richardson e. Co., Of Burlington, VT, has
taken the first premiums wherever exhibited,
triumphing over ali competitors. Its superb
ority over all others, is marked by the follow
ing properties: 1t neuer turns rancid as 50
many of the oil colOrs do. 1t gives natural,
bright color which is just what is desired, Il
result which is often promised but seldom If
ever obtained by others. 1t is far the strong
est and therefore the cheapest butter color
made. 1t gives universal satisfaction, and
dairymen who have used it will have no
other. 1t will not color the butter-milk.
The verdict pronounced by the Country
Fairs is of the utmost importance ind carries
great weight from the fact that the Judges are
practical men, farmers and dairymen, who
know just what is needed and know ut once
whether the promised results are Obtained
The most rigid and thorough tests were made
and the triumphs of this Color over all others,
is most marked because it is based upon real
merit. unprecedented by any favoritism or
other influence.
This Color is used from ocean to ocean and
is the only safe oil color used. Thousands of
testimonials received by the proprietors speak
of its superiority and sound its praises in the
strongest terms.

one Thomas Samon, an Englishman, a
cook by trade, and has been employed
as such at the Flume House the past
season. He now resides in Plymouth,
and lives over tenement occupied by

board at the house of James Ruddy,
with whom he was somewhat acquaint-
ed, for few days. He early Sunday
morning murdered Mr.. Rudy and his
year and half old child, and cut up
Mrs. Rudy badly, who feigned dead,
that her life might be spared. He
then threw some bed clothes over
them, saturated them with kerosene,
and set them on fire and left. Mrs.
Ruddy got up and jumped out of the
window, and gave the alarm. She
was cut up fearfully. He brought
with him to Mr.. Ruddy's a heavy
trunk. The trunk contained the life
less body of Mrs. Ford, and 1t Is sup

dispose of it, and refusing, and being
found out, he thought he would murder
the whole family and burn the build
ing. The fire was extinguished, but
Mr.. Rudy and child were burned be-
yond recognition. Samon and Ford
are under arrest.
