"ALLKGED FRAUD IN INDIAN MEAL".-The NetU-
ark Advertiser OF Monday contains the following
notice -
sample meal has been exhibited to us this morn.
which was evidently made by grinding the and cob
together The sample is said to have been taken from
the order Of Messrs. Woodruff Mnturn, in New York,
for the European market Rumors have been abroad
concerning fraud Of this sort for some weeks and the
exhibition OF the sample before together with other
testimony which we have received, make it impera-
tive public duty to call public attention to the subject
This is due to the parties implicated we'll to
State and the country large which would be dsgraced
by such base attempt defraud end impose upon the
people Of another country We trust the manufacturers
and the enerprisng house in New York. will be able to
satisfy the public mind the subject and end
the current statements to which we have referred The
process Of making this spurious meal is said to be this
After the and cob ground together the product
is dried and then ground egain, in order 10 make
it resemble meal as nearly possible. The sample
may be seen at this Office"
We can inform our contemporary that what he
has discovered, and to what he calls public at
tention, is what is technically called mares
nest or, in other words, that he has lost his time
and labor in discovering what Paddy hunted for
and found-"just nothing at ALL" Messrs. Wood
hull Minturn have been, for two months
back, manufacturing this corn and cob meal
and shipping gYeat quantities of it to England
and other countries but as to any fraud being
practised, there is nothing of the kind. This
corn and cob meal is used very extensively
in the United States as cattle feed, and
is found much superior, and more whole
some, than meal from the pure corn. 1t is less
heating, and more easily digested. We are in
formed, too, that for man it is likewise capital
food, and even makes a tolerably good loaf; and
we doubt not that the starving poor of Ireland
would like very much to be "defrauded'' with as
much Oft as would support them till the famine
season is over.
