Lager Beer.

Immense amounts Of this beverage are
consumed in this city. The regular Teuton-
ic drinkers do not think much of takinc
down from fifteen to twenty glasses per day.
We have heard within few days past. to
our surprise, that the peculiar taste and ia.
vor of the article are owing to the use of
turpentne or one Of its products, rosin, as
an ingredient. We have tasted some of this
lager beer within few days, and have no
doubt whatever that it was thus strongly
drugged, to drink it being impossible. Tar-
pentine. rosinOus body obtained from va
rious species Of pine. is capable by mixture,
distillation, rectIicatiOn and combination,
Of assuming very various and important
forms, applicable to medicine and the arts.
But the lager beer drinkers must take care
whose manufacture it is they patronize.
The beer containing this turpentins or any
preparation of it, becomes highly stimu!ant,
diuret;c and purgative. These are the effects
of turpentine in its gentlest forms, but il
taken in too large doses. strangury, and
sometimes flow Of blood, follows.
This explains perhaps some of the pccu-
liarites attending the drinking of lager beer,
not necessary to be stated, but We think il
our duty to warn every one against the use
of this liquid, unless the manufacturers give
evidence of the most satisfactory manner
that they do not adulterate it with any pre-
paration of turpentlne. To drink it thus
impurely is to incur the penalty Of disease.
if not death. Let the retail venders OF the
article inform themselves rs to this matter
forthwith.-N. Y. Mirror.

baptism of some new converts would take
place in the lake in the course of the after
noon, but the ceremony was not accom-.
plished However, in the course of the
night the Mormons, both males and females,
led by the missionary who perverted them,
assembled on the banks Of the lake, clad
simply in their night.sowns, and were sub
jected to the usual immersion. The news
soon got wind in the towr, and body of
young fellows attacked the Mormon crew,
and whipped them off the ground. The
missionary came in for a double share of the
popular indignation, and was beaten unmer-
cifuly. This policy will doubtless be adopt
ed in other cantons of Switzerland.
MORMON CONFERENCE IN LONDON.
The English Mormons held their Sixth
Annual Conference in London on Sunday,
Sept 6. Elder Orson Pratt and Ezra Benson
were the presiding geniuses of the occasion.
Upwards of one thousand persons were pre-
sent. The proceedings were conducted in
an orderly manner. Elder Pratt made
speech setting forth the Scripture claims OF
Mormonism, and was followed by Presidents
of English Conferences and delegates from
all parts Of the country. From the state
ment of Pastor Ross, the representative of
London, it appeared that 81, ,260 had been
subscribed during the past year for emigra-
ton and other purposes. II Sheffield dele
gate was a representative from Utah, who
said the Saints" in the District of Sheffield
were not rich but they were good looking
and enjoyed the favor Of the Lord" He
declared that Joe Smith had done more good
than any more since our Savior, and that
Brigham Young was great and mighty
prophet and father in Israel
The Mormons in Kent number $50; in
Essex there are 374 in Reading, 400. The

ference by the remark that Z" the proceed

by refreshments, such as ginger beer, and
other cooling drinks. Hel { and there might

The y. \. Herald is accountable for the
following narrative of an interview between
the present President, as the chaperon of a
fair lady, to the acquaintance Of Gen. jack
son. This article says:
The general temper OF the President
his easy, pleasant manners and racy conver-
sation-have always rendered him a great
fa"orite in society abroad as well as at home,
and few Of our public men have laid up
such stock of amusing and valuable remi-
nIscences. There was one anecdOte which
he tells Of Gen. Jackson, which is so char
acterIstIc OF the old hero that it is worth
preserving. The President relates that one
day during the administration of Old fiick-
Ury, he went TO the White House to ask
permission TO present TO him ,he celebrated
Miss Betsy Cation. Gen. jackson readily
aSsented, and named next day for the inter
view. At the appointed hour Mr. Buchanan
repaired with his fair charge to the Presi
dental mansion, and leaving the lady in one
OF the drawing rooms he mounted TO the
private cabinet Of the President To his
great surprise and isappointment, he found
the General buried in his books and papers
and attircd in plain morning dress his
chin uushaved and his favorite pipe in his
mouth. The Senator from PENNSYLVANIA
was grievously embarrassed. He was ap-
pre- ensive that if he announced Miss Cations
presence the gallant veteran would dscend
all in Hegtige as ne was
Mr.. Buchanan did not Ike 20 expose the
renowned belle to such shock as that. and.
on the other hand, he equally dreaded offer
ing suggestion on the subject TO the fiery
old war horec. There was no alternative,
however, and he had to state that Miss Ca
ton was waiting the Generals presence in
the green drawIng-roOm. Up jumped Old
Hickory at the first word, and laid down
his pipe. There was not moment TO be lost,
so Mr.. Buchanan, in timld and apolegetic
manner, ventured to observe that 1.-THE lady
could very well wait till the peresident had
shaved himself" The General saw what he
was driving at, and shook his frizzy head
at him like the name Of an enraged lion.
- Buchanan" thundered out the impetuous
old man, did you ever hear Of the man in
kentucky who got rich by minding his own
business Without stopping to say whe-
ther lie was acquainted with the remarkable
individual in question. the experienced SEN
ator fled from the storm and took refuge
with his lovely companion down stairs In
few minutes afterwards the hero OF New
Orleans entered the room with that dignity
of manner which no man knew better how
to assume, and great was Mr.. Buchanan's
relief to find that not only was his face quite
virginia. in its smoothness, but that he was
got up in his best black suit, with boots of
faultless radiance.

A Thrilling Incident.

Returning from visit to New Orleans,
we were fortunate enough to secure passage
on line steamer with but few passengers
Among the ladies. one especially interested
us. She was the widow of a wealthy planter
and was only returning with one child to
her fathers house. Her devotion to the
child was very touching, and the eyes of her
old black nurse would fill with tears as she
besOught der mistress mot to love that boy
too much, or the Lord would take him away
from her."
We passed through the canal at Louisville
and stopped for few minutes at her wharf,
when the nurse, wishing to see the city,
walked out on the guard at the back of the
boat, where by a sidden effort the child
sprang from her arms into the terrible cur
rent that swept towards the falls, and disap-
ared Immediately. The confusion which
ensued attracted the attention of gentle.
man who was sitting in the front part of the
boat, quietly reading. Rising hastily he
asked for some article the child had worn.
The nurse handed him a tiny apron she had
torn off in her effort to retain the babe in
her arms. Turning to splendid Newfound-
land dog that was cage ly watching his coun-
tenance, he pointed first to the apron, then
to the spot where the child had gone under.

this time the excitement was intense, and
some persons on shore, supposing that the
dog was lost as well as the child, procured
boat and started off in search of the body.
just at this moment the dog was seen far
away with something in his mouth. Brave
ly he struggled with the waves but it was
evident that his strength was fast failing
and more than one breast gave sigh Of re-
lief as the boat reache'. him and it Was an
nounced that he had the child and it was
still alive. They were brought en- shore
the dog and the child.
Giving a single glance to satisfy herself
that the child was really living, the young
mother rushed forward and sinking beside
the dog, threw her arms around his neck
and burst iato tears. Not many could view
the sight unmoved, and as she caressed and
kissed his shaggy head, she looked up to his
owner and said:
"Oh, sir, must have this dog! / am
rich: take all have-but give me my childs
preseryer."
The gentleman smiled. and patting his
dogs head said:
al am very glad, madam, he has been OF
service to you, but nothing in the world
could induce me to part with him.

A DANGEROUS ExPERIMENT.-R. II. Horne,
the author Of Orion, was a man of very
strong prejudices. Among others he cher
ished one against the Rev. Robert Montgom-
cry, the author of Satan, etc. In work
he edited, he had most ruthlt ssly attacked
the popular preacher, who was, however,
somewhat of eharlatan. Although they
had never seen each other, they cherished a
reciprocal detestation.
A mutual friend resolving to bring them
together, got up a dinner party, to which
the poet preacher and his savage assailant
were invited. Upon entering the house
with Montgomery, he was told by his SER
want in low tone that Mr.. Horne was in
his little writing room. He, therefore, very
coolly took the reverend rymster into the
room where Horne was alone, and introduc-
ed them to each other under the assumed
names of Jones and Brown. Begging per-
mission to be excused while he dressed for
dinner, he left the two beligercnts alone
When the door closed, Mr.. Horne said, "Sir
as my name is not Jones, perhaps yours is
not Brown"
"Certanly not" replied the divine, smil-
ing, 81 and the Rev. Robert Montgomery"
.And /, sir, am Mr.. Horne"
They looked at each other, broke into
fit of laughter, shook hands and when
their host came down, he found the kilken-
nv cats, instead of having devoured each
other up to their tails, laughing at the tales
they had been entertaining each other with.

Attacks, who brandished their clubs, and
pe!ted them with snow balls The maledc-
tions, the inprecations, the execrations of
the multitude were horrible. In the midst
OF torrent Of invective from every quarter,
the military were challenged to fire. The
populace advanced to the points of their
bayonets. The soldiers appeared like stat
ues; the cries, the howlings, the menaces,
the violent din Of bells, still sounding the
alarm. increased the confusion and the hor-
ror of these moments; at length the mulat
to, and twelve of his companions, pressing
forward, environed the soldiers, and striking
their muskets with eher clubs, cried to the
multitude, "be not afraid, children OF men,
before the laws of the commonwealth they
dare not fire; why do you hesitate, why do
you not kill them, why not crush them at
once" The mulatto lifted his arm against
Captain Prescott, and having turned one of
the muskets, he seized the bayonet with his
left hand, as if he intended to execute the
threat At this moment confused cries were
heard. "7he uretches dare not .tfre!' Fir
ing succeeds. Attucks is slain. The other
discharges follow. Three were killed, five
severely wounded, ana several slightly"

REDUCING TO SUGAR.

For making sugar 1t will be necessary to
boil this same syrup down till tn. steam es-
capes from it in little puff> and when the
skinner is dipped into it the falling drops
break short and fall solid These simple
tests, and perhaps few failures, will enable
one to make good sugar. When enough
has been boiled, pour it into a wooden box
or tub to cool slowly, standing it in warm
place. Let the box be large enough to allow
Of the sugar standing only u inches deep :;
boil another lot and pour it over the top Of
the first, and third over the top of the
second, mix them all together, and allow the
cont nts TO cool. II by the next morning
there should be no signs Of crystals, take
handful of raw sugar and stir it in; in al!
probabilitpit it will start crystalizaton but
if it should not do SO immediately, do not
despair, for it may stand for an entire fort
night and then suddenly strike into sugar
