To test tho Purity of Water.

WATER, in n state af purity, can only
oe obtained by distilation, or AS it falls in
the form OF rain. From its being able to
hold in solution, so great variety of sub
stances, it is almost always contaminated
with some Of them. Spring water be,
comes Impregnated with he various earthy
matters through which it runs ani rivei
wafer is still more impure, in consequence
OF many foreign substances that find their
way into it. For chemical purposes, where
1t Is essential that the water should be
quite pure, it is necessary to distill it, bv
which means the impurities are separated
from it. In order to ascertain the uener.
al properties of any kind of water, it NAV
be tested in the following manner
Pour a small quantity of it into n wine.
glass, and dip into it slip Of litmus pa.
per, when, if an acid is contained in the
liquid in any quantity, the paper will be-
come red if the water contains an alkaIi,
the test paper will become greer.
The presence of earthly matter may be
ascertained by mixing little soap with
water if much earthly matter is in it the
soap will be curded. This is why it is i'm
possible to form soap suds with hard
spring water.
Evaporate a drop of the water to be
tested from watch glass. Small rings
will appear if it contained only small
portion of impure water; but a crust is
seen if it held in solution, much saline or
earthly matter, and the crust has an ochry
tint, if iron be present.

SPIRITUAL RAPpISos-- n,
AN INFANT by ITS MornEe.-We Learn
that woman by the name of Freeman
living in the township Of Van Buren, il
Lagrange county, Indiana, in the carly
part of last week, put an end to the life q
her child, promising infant about twenty
months old, under circumstances of IN,
most melancholy character. She had lono
been under the influence Of the spirit.rap.
pings delusion, and had become so affect.
ell by presumed revelations from the othe,
world. as to conclude that life was only a
burden, and that an exchange of world,
was the only sure path to the sours e.
licity. Accordingly, under this infatua.
ton, she selected from her family of ch,l.
dren the two youngest, who were The
special objects Of her love, and resolved
to send them forward to the world n,
spirits, whittier she would shortly afe,
follow them. While her husband and
the elder members of the family were
absent in the field, she took the children
into a retired room, and by means of q
cord which she had prepared by twisting
together some strong cotton, succeeded in
strangliDg the infant until satisfied tina,
u was dead. The other child, a Ii,tle bov
OF but five years Of age, became firiChten.
ed and ran of into the field 10 alarm the
father, who returned TO witness the scene
oi horror, snd PTeveb; Ire mother from
destroying her own life. The woman
made no attempt TO conceal the purpose
which prompted her to commit the awful
deed; and only regretted that tho full
accomplishment Of the design had been
prevented. She is now in jail waiting her
