NATIONAL SAFETY SAVING FUND.- has long
been our intention to make remai ks in relation
TO the Saving Fund system in general, which has
been productive OF such great public a1va ntage,
both in Europe and in this country, but at present,
we have only room to give few suggestions in rela,
ton to the saving Fund of the National Safety Trust
Company.
This old an well established institution has ac.
quircl such high reputation, that great many OF
wealthy citizens have selected it as the best place
in which TO deposit their money, and people who
have large sums which it is desired should be kept
with special regard to security, often como from
great stance to put their money in Saving Fund,
where tho deposition gets interest for it, and from
which no can obtain it again at any moment it is
called for. 1t will he readily understood that an in

BRANDY ITS MANUFAoTURE.-Th following
account from the Toronto Colonist, of the
death of man from tasting poison used in
manufacturing brandy from raw spirits conveys
its own moral:
At about IL O'Clock, Thursday morning, a
clerk in the employ of Mr. Wright, liquor man
utdcturer, at Brampton, left tho store for the
purpose of manufacturing quantity of brandy
from raw spirits. He took with him prepar-
alton used for this purpose-by some called
essence of brandy. The preparation was placed
on the table in the warehouse, and the deceas-
ed (Air. Morris,) after preparing portion of
the liquor, returned to his former occupation
more than five minutes, before the porter ran
into the store, in great alarm, exclaiming, sEMr.
Morris has been tasting the essence Of brandy
and it has killed him." On those present rum
ming to the spot, it was fonnd that the report
was too true the sufferer had inadvertently
tasted few drops of the drug, which is nearly
allied to prussic acid, and instant death was the
consequence of the unhappy mistake. An in
quest was held in the afternoon; but the YER
dict of the jury was not given at the time the
cars left BrampfOn. Mr.. Morris was very
well educated young man of highly respecta-
BILE family in Worcestershire, England.
