summary which we find in an Albany paper sets the
matter strongly before the public. There are now
more than 800 900 people in the United States who
abstain from the of ardent spirits and from fur
nishing it to others; more than 1000 temperance
cietes, embracing more than 600 900 members. More
than 1000 distileres have been stopped; more than
5000 merchants have ceased from the traffic 1t is
estimated that 1000 persons are now sober, who,
had II not been for the temperance societies. would

now at ease and comfort, who would otherwise have

Prussic Acid.

The hydrocyanic acid is perfectly color
less, limpid fluid, and cannot be distinguished
by the eye from distilled water. 1t has a
strong oder resembling that of peach blossoms,
and when much diluted has the taste of bitter
almonds.
Prussic acid is the most active and power
full of all known poisons. A single drop
placed on the tongue of a dog caused his
death in few seconds, and servant girl who
swallowed small glass of it, diluted with
alcohol, fell dead instantly as though struck
with apoplexy, and died in two minutes. A
professor at Vienna having prepared some of
this acid in its most concentrated state, by
way of experiment diffused some of it on his
naked arm, and was killed thereby in a short
time.
These instances not only show tho terrific
and mysterious effect which this substance has
on the animal economy, but they also show
what extreme caution is necessary in prepar-
ing and using it. When much diluted it has
however, been considerably employed as a
medicine, in cases of consumption, and often
with good effect.
Although the investigations of chemistry
have developed this substance, than which
even lightning itself is scarcely more prompt,
or sure, in destruction, still the wisdom of
Omniscienee has connected circumstances
with its production and nature, which in a
great measure, will always prevent its, en-
ployment for vicious and criminal purposes.
The process by which it is made, requires
