on the Hudson, below Albany, was in
the habit of taking few summer board

boarders and have at the same time a
convenient market for their produce, this
thrifty successor of the Knickerbockers
was accustomed to send all the best pro-

choicest butter from his dairy to market,
often returning from town with inferior
articles which he had purchased at a
greatly reduced price, safely hidden
away in his wagon box, to be Struggled
into the kitchen and palmed off upon the
coniiding boarders as home grown pro-

and grass" butter were, and were CON
