Consumers in cities have become
pretty well aroused to the fact that the
supplies for their tables are badly adul-
terated, and that none are more villain
ously adulterated than butter. We
think that every consumer who reads
the newspapers, and is half awake, buys
his butter with one eye shut and eats
it with both shut; and it does not have
tendency to arouse confidence to see
grocery advertising at this time, the
best creamery butter at twenty-five
cents a pound, which was the announ-
cement of an advertisement which we
saw in Chicago daily few days
since. The man or woman VINO knows
anything about such things begins to
cherish but one wish as to butter, and
that is that he or she might be sup
piled direct from some dairy. There
are thousands of families in every large
city who would take all the butter many
farmer made, if they could get it
and pay better price for it than the
average farmer can get. But they do
not know just how to secure supply.
And the matter is suggestive to great
many farmers who are 80 situated that
it would be entirely practical to supply
this demand. All farmers are not thus
situated. But any one who is, and
would take the trouble to seek for a
city customer, for his butter would do
good thing for himself. If he made
really an extra article, he could very
soon, if not at once, secure IAN extra
price the year round. It would be
necessary to secure some sort of recon-
mendation, for the city consumer has
been imposed upon to that degree,
that he is suspicious of any stranger
who comes to him with butter. But
with an introduction to a family, the
market could be readily established.
If this supply could be more gener-
ally established, it would do consider
able toward breaking up the trade IN
bogus buffers. While consumers are
no better judges of butter than they are
now-and it is not practical for them
to be better judges-the bogus butter
rascals will get the best of the public,
unless we have better laws and can
have them executed. II is said an
honest grocer cannot sustain his butter
trade unless he sells oleomargarine. If
he attempts to copfine his trade to pure
butter, he will find his customers leav-
ing him, because "pure butter" (oleo-
margarine) is offered at neighboring
store for less money than he can sell
for. And We must confess that this
fraud has been one of the most difficult
to circumvent that we ever attempted
to fight. And in order to aid in driv.
ing the bogus articles from the market
as we'll IS to add to the farmers profits
we may suggest to those who are stu
ated so that they may do so as we'll al
not, to hunt up their regular custom
ers for their butter. If large amount
is made, try to secure a hotel to take
It, and if but a. small amount is made
seek customer in a private fam lily
While everybody cannot do this, many
can Western Rural.

The clerk of the Massachusetts state
prison, who has served for twenty-seven
years, has sent in his resignation, basing
it upon what he terms the growth of
sentiment in the administration of
penal Justice. For INSTRUMENTATION he
urges that hogging is the proper, and
indeed the most humane dieipliue.
He says that man will come from the
solitary cell limp and deathlike in
appearance, but without any disposition
to improve his conduct, whereas the
instances are very rare where the whip.
ping post will not result in obedience
from the most obdurate. This may
seem a harsh judgment, but it is posi-
BILE to understand that il is the fruit oil
conscientious experience, and the
verdict of q man who has almost
national reputation in the management
OF those who are obliged to undergo
the penalty Of crime.

THE German empire evidently needs
something of the rigor of the WESTERN
continent, Figures are given to show
that there are two hundred beggars
and vagabonds, including thieves and
pickpockets in the German empire,
and their beggary, thieving and swim
ding costs honest people no less than
$25 100000. The German laws ar e
said to be 80 mild, that vagabondage
enjoys sort of premium, and the
German courts are even more lenient
than the statutes. The evil has grown
to be so abominable that the govern
ment is preparing to make a short
shift with that element of the popula-
ton. Those who are too lazy to work,
and mean enough for steal should be
marked for severe treatment.

The rigor Of the present winter is
universal, and it is probably true that
warm climates, where it is practi-
cal summer all the year round, have
felt the hyporborcan wave more ser
iously than the sections where winter
has its proper place among the seasons.
Those who have sought winter resorts
have suffered with the extreme cold.
January 25.h for the first time since
1870 there was a storm OF the genuine
blizzard character, snow, sleet, and bit
ter cold, that made pleasure sciourners
decidedly uncomfortable, and in The
absence Of facilities for producing
warmth they wished themselves back
IN the northwest where the climate
diecomforts are more Of q fancy than a
reality. Change Of scene is not always
productive of happiness or conductive
to health.

NEBRASKA, too, has fould occasion to
investigate tho management OF its pub
lie institutions. Cruelty in the peni-
Tertiary and shortcomings in the heads
of the asylum for tho defective classes
are alleged, while gross abuses in the
treatment of inmates of the insane hos.
pital have been brought to light. There
appears to be something in the over
sight of lunatics which makes men
brutes; it is difficult to account other
wise for the fact that kuockdown blows
are the stock arguments of insane asy-
lum attendants. Primarily, however,
the responsibility for maltreatment Of
helpless lunatics must be charged to the
legislatures which allow asylums to be
turned into dungeons and prize-fghters
to be employed for keepers.

THE eastern flood disasters point out
some of the necessary appliances OF
every day life. When suddenly the
gas works at Cincinnati were sub.
merged, and those who had light at all,
were obliged to use candles and oil
lamps, there was not oil enough in the
city to last one day. The streets were
only lighted by the pale moon, and in
the newspaper offices there was diff.
Guilty in supplying adequate illumina-
ton. Spring Grove cemetery, one of
the most beautiful in the country, was
partly under water, and it was with diff
ficulty that funeral parties reached the
gates. These are but trivial incidents
or inconvenience, compared with the
appalling loss of life, still they show
many things, when possessed, are
lightly esteemed, but when deprivation
comes, how they rise to the proportions
of valued blessings.

A FEARFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-On
last Wednesday, about II o'clock, fearful
cident occurred on the Parkersburg turnpike, a
mile west of Staunton, by which Peter Way
bright was instantly killed. He had started
from the city with a wagon loaded with goods
for Mr.. Snyder, of Crabbottom, Highland coun-
ty, preceded by two other wagons, and when
descending the hill just east of the toIl-gate,
the team ran away. Mr.. Waybright was at
the time, standing on the tongue of the wagon
between the wheel horses, and maintained his
position there until the team, overtaking the
wagons in 'front.' swerved to one side and ran
the wagon into the ditch, throwing Mr.. Way
bright off the tongue, and both the front and
hind wheels passed over him. The front wheel
crushed his head and the hind wheel passed
over his neck, causing almost instant death.
His body vas coffined and placed in the wagon,
OF which the drivers of the other teams took
charge,and resumed their now saddened return
to their homes in Highland.
Mr.. Waybright was well known to many of
our citizens, and was worthy and respectable
citizen of New Hampden, Highland county. He
was widower of about fifty years of age, and
leaves two or three daughters, all of whom, we
learn, are grown and married.
P. S.-After the above was in type we learned
the following from the Highland Recorder -
"His wife, whose maiden name was Lance,
died about four years ago, leaving three chill
dren. His aged mother, an invalid sister, and
two brothers, Capt. John Waybright and An
drew ]. Way Upright, reside in Crabbottom. An
other brother, Abraham. went TO the West
many years ago. where he died"
