BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Honiwopathio practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt rued no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied In the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homceopathie Chemist, was induced in the year 1819 to turn
his atiention to this subject, and at length succeed, with

For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its
Adulteratio.ls," says -"Cocoa contains &great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than ether wine
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined Vb., Ib., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
a 11 groct.rs, tonfectiOntrs, and chemists.- [Aol-T.]

ANOTHER GERMAN MURDERER.—A verdict of
wilful murder was, on Wednesday, returned by a
coronet's jury at Falmouth, against Albert Bernhard
Julius Rudolf, a sailor belonging to a foreign ship at an-
chor In the harbour. The evidenco taken was complicated,
volum'nous, and conflicting, but it seems clear that the ac•
cused came ashore on Saturday, and against the advice of a
comrade, brought with him his clasp knife. Rudolf then
became somewhat intoxicated, was a party to a street quay.
ref, during which John Timmins, a young man employed
by a Pentyn fish dealer, was stabbed to the heart, and died
almost instantly. Two or three witnesses express their be-
lief that Rudolf was the man whom they saw strike the
fatal blow. The most damaging point is that the accused,
when arrested on board his ship, endeavoured to conceal his
clasp knife, which was found to be freshly stained with
blood. Rudolf is a Prussian, and his c ise, therefore, is
another instance in which murder is laid at the door of a
German sojourning in England. Western Morning .News.

The Union de la Sarthe states that a suicide was
committed two days since at Vilaine-souF- (Sarthe) by
a man named F--, against whom a complaint had been
lodged for a criminal assault. When F- was informed
that the police were come to majie au inquiry into the mat-
ter, he told his wife that the gendarmes were come to arrest
him, kissed her affectionately, and before she had recovered
from her surprise, took a gun and blew out his brains;
