Hogsheads Of this FLUID Quartz, from which such
results are produced may be at my residence, a
stated by Prof. Moffst, late United Ststes AssAyis,
and as known By sundry other scientific men. In view
of these things well might the Professor assert he
does in bis statement annexed that "the liquid quart:
