To pack butter for long keeping, first make perfectly good butter, then procure new white oak tubs tightly put together, Scald them thoroughly and then steep them with clean brine and rinse diem with clear water. Duet the inside with fine salt and im- mediately pack the butter in the tub as soon as it has been fivally worked. Pack in a layer of about four inches at once, and press it down firmly. leaving no air spaces. Drain off any water that may be pressed out of the butter, and sprinkle a little salt over the layer ; then pack down another, and so on until the tub is full within a quarter of an inch of the top. Spread over the butter a clean muslin cloth previously soaked with brine and one inch larger each way than the top of the tub ; press it down closely on to the butter, leaving no air under ib ; and close to the edge of the tub ; cover it with fine dry salt, pressing this close to th e tub all around, and turn the edge of the muslin over it ; then press down the cover and tighten the hoops or nail it firmly ; putting four bands of tin over the edge to keep it tight and safe. The tub should be weighed just before the butter is put in and the weight, with one pound added for salt, should be marked on the cover. It is weighed again when finished and the weight then is mark- ed over the ether figures ; the differ - once is the net weight of the butter. TUE BRUSSELS QOST Anne 5, 1685, Bay Company for twelve years, is well acquainted with flim, and gives the following particulars : He is n plain Cree, a native of the Carlton region, and is about 00 years of age.

During a fam- ine which occurred thirteen years ago, caused by the buffalo leaving for the south and the Indiana being un- able to follow them, they began to kill the Hudson Bay cattle, but were prevented from oontinuing the prac- tice through the efforts of Big Bear. He and his band seldom engaged in war, but they were notorious for stealing horses from the Blackfeet. He was thought to be rather coward- ly. On one occasion four Crees were attacked opposite Fort Pitt by a large band of Blackfeet, while Big Bear wee in the fort with eight men He refused to go to their assistance, al - red him the though orSinclair f theboat and the Hudson Bay horses.
