OF q recent date says: Mr.. Il.
NJ. Hendrix, who runs the
East Market grocery, informs
us that be has purchased from
Mr.. w. d. Wharton, living near
town, 60 pounds Of butter with.
In the past ii months, for which
he paid 25 cents per pound. This
yield was from an average of
two cows, besides supplying q
large family. And Mr. Whar.
ton is not asking the govern
ment 20 loan him money at 2
per cent. either, but il you are
hard up you might borrow from
him. That's tho kindof farmers

amount 70 as mnch as he paid
the wheelwright this one time.

be put up 10 the lowest bidder;
but others are Of the opinion that
q regular force ought 70 be
kept at work all the time. -

gentleman who had recently
ridden out into the country.
