A mejjin deception, and one we hope for the sake of the community not often prttctlserl, was found out by a gentleman who went a few days ago to a local auctioneer and purchased a large firkin of butter. The butter was duly sampled at the time of sale, a hole having been made in the centre of the keg. When the keg was opened, it was found that only a thin spiral column of. .butter ran down the centre of the keg, and all around was filled up With salt. The matter has been laid before the auctioneer, but the individual who entered the butter for eale should be traced, and allowed an opportunity of explaining matters.
