CREAM OYSTERS.

Fifty shell oysters, one quart sweet cream; butter, pepper and salt to suit taste. Put the cream and oysters in separate kettles to heat, the oysters in their own liquid, and let them come to a boil; when sufficiently cooked, skim; then take them out of the liquid and put in some dish to keep warm. Put the cream and liquid together. Season to taste, and thicken with powdered cracker. When sufficiently thick, stir in the oysters.
