The Merchandise In Milk.

1t may be well thet we don't know what we
eat and drink, or we would rather atarve than
partake Of the stuff, much Of which is traded
off to us as milk aud meat. The traffic in milk
is q cash business, and pays certain profit.
A few honest persons, no doubt, feed good food
to cows, and furnish an unadulterated article
to their customers. Such fow are rare. In
this city and vicinity COWS are cooped close in
stables, fed with still sop, kept in their stalls
day and night in filth and heat, and milksd,
well or sick. Now dispensing such milk as this
might be called an infamous business if it was
an individual instance, but 1t Is undoubtedly a
common occurrence. The case occupying
public attention, to day, is not one 1.-THE as
bad, perhaps, as can be shown near this city,
as many people believe But the indifference
OF the public is security for those who resort
to this recognized mode Of making money
The Committee appointed BY the Mayor at the
request Of person criminaed in this business
have reported that in their opinion there arr
several COWS In his dairy unfit to give milk fol
public use, and should be turned at once out O
the dairy. See the report in another column.

Movements Of Garibaldi.

A Turin letter of the Sd inst, in the Paris
Pressc, says:
1t now seems certain that General Garibaldi
is preparing, although still unwell, to proceed
to Central Italy, taking with him the two
corps, tho Chasseurs Of the Alps and tho Chas-
seurs of the Apprentices. Both II these bodies
have remained compact, no application for a
discharge having been made since the General
issued bis proclamation. These two bodies are
together about thirteen thousand strong, and
if they we're added to the two regiments Of
Chasseurs of Modena, the ten thousand Tus-
cans, the eight thousand troops Of Mezzaoopo
and the four thousand Of Rossolli, they would
form very respectable army. You have,
without doubt, heard of General Uloa having
given in his resignation at Florence. Admin
istrative details do rot suit his character, and
in addition, be is fatigued with the close at
tention lie has been obliged to pay for the
last three months to public business. A depu-
ta,ion of exiled Venetians have waited on the
ambassadors of England, France, Russia and
Prussia at Turin, praying for the Intervention
of Europe in favor of tho independence Of
their country.

Leracy for Spurgecn.

Mr. Spurgeon, the London preacher, has re-
Gently received legacy under peculiar circum-
stances. A lawyer called on him, and informed
him that Mrs. W., lately deceased, had left
him considerable amount by will. Thereve-
rend gentleman thought there must be some
mistake, as he knew no such person, but, on
investigation, learned that it was fact. dc
went to the residence of the testatrix, and ac-
tually saw the lady in her coffin; he then re-
collected her as being a constant annoyance
to him, many years ago, in the Park-street
Chapel, where she had pew directly opposite
to him. She never spoke to him, but was con-
tinually Watching him, look wherever he would,
, till he was under the necessity Of speaking to
some congregational friends to persuade her to
vacate her pew. From that time to the pres
ent he had lost sight Of the lady. So states

CINCINNATI HUNTERS ABRoAD.rWe have
several delegations now on the prairies OF In
diana and Illinois, sporting. (?) Terrell, OF
the Lafayette Journal, announces the trium-
phal (?) return of one squad, as follows:
Fosdick, ofthe Cincinnati Enquirer, returned
here yesterday from his shooting excursion
north. A small boy brought in the game. 1t
consisted of one woodchuck, goose (tamel, q
couple of house martins, ground-hog, (favor-
ite Cincinnati game), and three prairie hons,
all of the last having been "shot on the wing
by some previous sportsman, before they. came
within the range of F.'s unerring piece. A val
liable dog, killed under the impression that he
was fawn (from a .fucning propensity charac.
tsristic of the animal), was left on the prairie.
F. describes the sport as glorious" The re-
suits might have been greater, he says, if he
could have found steadier place for "rcsr
than from Tom Logan's shoulder.

UEroRTUNArE 0CcURRENCE-A MAN FALLS
FROM THE FOURTH STORY WINDow.-On yes
terday morning our citizens were startled by
the anne lncement that Samuel D. Bellsnyder
had fallen from tho fourth-story window of
tho Dry Goods House of Morgan & Co. 1t
appears that, in company with another clerk
in the house, he went up stairs about one
o'clock for the purpose of. going to bed. His
companion retired Immediately, leaving young
Bsllsnyder undressed at the window. The
first thing known of the sad occurrence was
after the store was opened. The distance
from the window to the ground is between fifty
and sixty feet, and it is more than probable
that he was killed Instantly.
The deceased was the eldest son of Captain
Beilsnyder, formerly of the steamer Nash

Our City Water Worksr-W ater supply.
Mr.. George SHIELDS, Engineer, besides being
an experienced engineer, adds to the manage
ment "diary" of important occurrences and
observations. Those made during the last
week prove that the officers showed due dill
gsnce in ferretting out the cause of the unusual
taste Of the water in the reservoir. At first,
some decayed straw had been discovered clog
ged against the strainer to the Acqueduct,
which loads the water from the river into the
pumping chamber. Immediately connection
was made directly with the waterat the extreme
end of the Acqueduct, a few hundred feet in the
river. The abandonment by the people of tho
use ofhydrant water occasioned an overflow all
the next day at the waste water pipe of the
Reservoir, and the fire plugs down town we're
opened to void the foul water and clean the
pipes On Saturday no water ran off by the
waste pipe, and forty-one hours of pumping
was the days work Of two engines. Only one
of the engines was at work on Sunday, and the
tasty grounds of the Reservoir, which is the
Park of tho extreme east end, was filled during
tho day by the curious and the enqairing'
largely increased by the attendants at the lay
ing Of the corner stone ofa church near by, on
Mt. Adams. Both divisions of the Reservoir
have been "blowed OUT" by successfully stop
ping off the supply and letting out all offensive
water and reHlling the distributing Reservoir
with pure water. BY these attentions to this
subject by Engineer SHIELDS, we are obtaining
again pure water supply.
The following showing of the rise and
fall of the Ohio River, at tho City Water
Werks, is taken from the Water Works Reg
lister for the month Of August, from the lSt tt

water mark of 1S56--the lowest water known

HORACE GREELEy.--The editor Of the New
York Tribune, a leading spirit in journalism,
now in California, and known and read by
all men, was in 1880 and 1881 an apprentice
in printing Office in Erie, Penn. Horace
obtained for his services $50 year. Out Of
that sum he saved enough to buy his father
yoke of steers. He clothed himself with a
suit of blue jeans, two brown shirts, chip
hat, brogans, and with less than S. in money
he left the rugged hemlock land of his father
between Crawford County, Penn, and Cha
tauque County, n. Y, and started for the big
city of New York. What he has accom-
plished since, we need not say.

Gg-The system Of insurance against rail-
road accidents Is now brought to such CON-
plete perfection in England that at almost any
station there are agents empowered to issue
the requisite policies which are simply
tickets. Two or three pence additional paid
on purchasing ticket secures the repayment
of any loss or damage to person or property
during the trip. Accidents are so much more
rare in England than in this country, that
passengers do not avail themselves of the
privilege, but similar system in the United
States would doubtless work we'll both for the
Insurance Company and the passengers or
their relatives.
