Artificial Batter.

At a special meeting of the Butter and Cheese Exchange, yesterday, the sub-com-mittee appointed to investigate the manufacture of artificial butter and the additeration presented a report in which the results of their examination are fully stated. These are embodied in the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted: Whzbbas, The attention of the merchants of the Butler and Cheese Exchange of New York has been urgently called to the manufacture of and the traffic in artificial butter, and upon investigation by a committee appointed by the Exchange for that punxee It appears that during the past year there nas been manufactured and sold to a considerable extent an article called “ Oleomargarine,” made from suet or tallow, and sold as a substitute; and . . Whxbkas, While the manufacture and sale of this commodity as a substitute for butter Is a matter not within the province of this Exchange, so long as it is sold under Its proper name, yet in view of the great danger to the trade of any successful attempt to force this ok, any similar compound, or any other substance foreign to butter, upon consumers by admixture with the pure article, it is of the first Importance that every effort be made by the trade individually and as a body to Insure the entire freedom from adulterants of the new crop, upon the purity of which depends the future of American butter as an article of export, and. Indeed, the supremacy of the dairy in our agriculture; be it, therefore. Knotted, That the Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York, while it would encourage all experiments, inventions or applications of science or of skill for the production of a pure article of this important staple of commerce, hereby emphatically condemns any process of adulteration or mixture, and the fraudulent attempt to sell such product for pure butter. Knotted, Thai the dairymen and merchants and all others interested In this trade throughout the United States and Canada bo and are hereby requested to report to the Secretary of the Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York all instances of this practice that may come within their knowledge, tor exposure through the authority of thia ExchangeKnotted, That these proceedings be published in the official circular of the Exchange, and also be furnished to the press for publication. This report of the sub-committee was unanimously adopted.— N. Y. Tribune, April 24. _ —They were neighbors, they died at the same time, and were to be buried on the same day. Mrs. Madox came to the house of mourning to aid in the last sad offices. She stood by the coffin and muttered, “Very much changed.” She seated herself, but soon arose and took a second look, repeating the remark. A third time she looked, and a third time exclaimed, “How changed.” “Madame,” said a bystander, “this is John West’s body; Nancy Green’s funeral is nextdoor** Mrs. Madox left,, - People who are over wise must expect to pay for their whims as the lowa man did. He went back on his own true love because she ate onions, and the jury gave her $3,200 damages. How much better for him if he bad oilset her by eating Limburger cheese.
