SEIZURE OF A SPURIOUS TEA MAN

SEIZURE OF A SPURIOUS TEA MAN
uFAcroRY.-An important seizure
has been made by her Majesty's Off
GERS of Excise. In consequence ofin-
formation received they proceeded to
Anchor-yard' Old street, St. Luke's,
where, on entrance, they fonnd a COM
plete mandatory fitted up for the pur-
pose of drying and coloring old leaves.
1t consisted of two large furnaces. dry
ing-pans and plates, for the final pro-
cess of drying; coloring matter, drugs,
and quantity Of "tea" ready to send
out, with some in the process of trans
formation from green to black. Nota
particle Of good tea was TO be found,
although the quantity amounted to
nearly a ton in weight. 1t is sup
posed that the persons owning it must
have made their escape during the en-
trance of the officers, as no person was
to be found on the premises; and as the
state of the pan proved that they had
been recently at work. Messrs. Spur
gin and Rowlandson took possession
of the whole Of the stock, and van
being procured they conveyed it TO the
chief Office in Broad street, where i.
will be disposed of by her Majesty's
Commissioners. The capture Of these
spurious articles, it is hoped, may have
the effect Of checking other evil doors,
who have long been instrumental in
retailing poisonous tea upon the poor.

THE LEARNED BLAcKsMITH.-The
Brother Jonathan contains an article IN
relation to this remarkable man. The
conclusion of the whole matter is, that
his great learning has neither produced
him money nor fame. On the contra
~, after furnishing a religious periodi-
cal with leaders for many weeks, when
he stopped his labors, not only was he
not paid, but bill was sent in to him
for the very paper he had written INTO
notice.
EXTRAORDINARY ExaIsITIoS AT
THE y. Y. FAIR.-The Tribune says
tina: George Hall, Esq. OF Brooklyn
whose philanthropic labors in the lem
perance cause have been great, stated
a few evenings since in Temperance
meeting that he had on hand poor
miserable drunkard, whom with the
consent of TIE Committee, he proposed
exhibiting at the fair Of the American
Institute as a specimen OF the handi,
work Of rum-sellers, which he was
sure would gain the premium. The
poor fellow had consented to so and
be shown for a dollar
