New MODE OF OBTAINING SUGAR FROM
MoLAssEs. recent number we noti-
ced the application of the principle term
ed diatysis to the separation of the salt
from meat, and the recovery of the Jul
es from brine. The same principle has
been advantageously applied to the crys-
tallisable sugar from MOSES. For this
pupose the molasses is placed in mem
braneous bag, which is then immersed in
water; strong current Immediately sets
from the water to the molasses, and a
weak one from the molasses to the water.
The strong current carries off the salts of
the molasses. and sugar, which is readily
crystallisa5le, remains.

ALARMING TO PoRK-EATERs. The Buff.
falo Medical Journal reports new disease
appearing in Western New York, of which
several persons have died. II commences
with diarrhea, and is followed by enact.
alton till death supervenes. The autopsy
revealed the cause of death to be the pres.
euce Of the Trichina spiralis in the striated
muscles. The same parasitewas also shown
in sausage, of which one of the dead
persons had eaten and without doubt
originated from the pork. The worm was
probably set free in the process of digestion
and Immediately pierced the walls of the
intestines, creating the diarrHea. and
passed through the peritoneum into the
muscles. 1t is very tenacious of life and
will resist strong heat The parasites
were found in the muscles of the dead per-
sons in large numbers. The medical men
had no doubt that the use of pork as an
article of diet was the cause of the disease
Tape-worm, it is believed, originates in a
similar manner.

THE CENTRALIA MASSACRE.

We copy the following from the St. Jo-
seph HeroM:
From an eye witness, gentleman from
Indiana, we learn the horrible details of
the Centralia slaughter.
AS soon as the train stopped, Anderson
walked to the platform aud ordered the
passengers to march out. Our informant
said Anderson appeared to be man about
five feet ten inches high, rather slim, black
beard, long black hair, inclined to curl,
and altogether promising looking man
of about 80 years of age
He was dressed in a Federal soldier
coat, black pants, and cavalry hat. He
ordered the citizens--men, women, and
children--to march in one dilectiou,
where they were formed in lines two deep,
and those dressed in soldiers clothes we're
marched in an opposite direction. In
getting off the platform. two of the SOL
diers hung back, and talked against obey
ing orders. They were shot by Anderson
and tumbled off between the cars. This
had the effect of causing stampede of
passengers, who rushed out of the cars
in great confusion.
There were "a soldiers aboard the train,
belonging to the Odd, "a. and the 10Th
Missouri Infantry. Some were wounded
and sick, returning home on furlough,
and some were discharged. All the SOL
diers were formed into line. and Andcr-
son walked up aad thus addressed them.
+" You Fcderals have just killed six Of
my soldiers. scalped them and left them
on the prairie. am too honorable man
to permit any man to be scalped, but !
will show you that can kill men with
as much skill and rapidity as any body.
From this time forward ask no quarter,
and give none. Every federal soldier Oh
whom put my finger shall die like a
dog. If | get into your clutches Icxpect
death. You are all to be killed and sou,
to hell. That is the way every damned
soldier shall be served that falls into my
hands. Bong wsa
Some Of the soldiers demonstrated and
declared that they were just from Sher

cut were down on the use of tobacco. If
"A man did not own a freehold estate, they
fined him for using tobacco. One of their
old blue laws was, That no person under
the age of 81, nor any other that hath
not already accustomed himself to the use
thereof, shall take any tobacco until hee
hath brought certificate of a man of
phisick, and allso, that hee hath received
a lycence from Courte. for the same. "
"And it is ordered-lhat no man in

pence for each offense."

INscRIBING HIS OWN HEAD BoARD-A
very singular occurrence was noticed in the
10th Mass. on Monday. A sergeant had
been engaged in the I'd division hospital
the day previous in placing upon num-
Der of head boards the names of men,
bers of his regiment who had been killed
in the late fight or had died in battle,
which were to mark their last resting
place. There was one board in excess,
and. in sportive vein. he placed with a
lead pencil his own name upon it. and
the date of his demise, Goth of June
as his term of service bad then expired
and he was about to leave for home
Yesterday morning, while near the from,
bidding his companions in other regiment;
farewell, he was struck in the breast by
a 81 FOUNDER Parrott and instantly killed
His remains were inferred to-day, anc
the very hcadboard he had unthinkingly
inscribed with his own name, was placet
over his grave, and, with date, correctly
marks for time his resting place. Wa
blasts hopes at the moment of fruition--
shifts life's plans and expectations in ;
mysterious manner. 1t is marked by
thousand incidents quite as strange anc
mournful as the above.

corps, formed in line at their camp on the
south of the James river, at O'clock on
the morning of the 29th Of September,
and marched across the pontoon bridge

line of entertainments at Chapin's Bluff,
7 miles from the rebel capital. The last
miles of the march were strewn with
muskets, blankets and the usual debris
of the battlefield; the large numcer of
dead and wounded also showed that the
lst division had had lively skirmish on
their advance. We pressed on until the

was passed along the line, and though
the entire division was exhausted by q

up with ring, and the entire line at
Chapin's Bluff was carried with its l6

MEMORY.

How sweet to welcome memory
With thoughts OF other days,
And images of loved ones,
Who shared with us, lies ways.
Oh bright indeed, those happy hours,
When life and hope were young,
When friendship seemed shining gem,
Cast in the morning sun.
Upon the brow, no shadow then
Was seen to sadly rest
No far.otf, hidden thought, lay close
Hedged up within the breast.
Oh happy days too soon they fled,
And those who made them gay
How many hands theu clasped in love
Have moldeled into clay
And loved voices like music sweet,
Are borne on memory's wave =
Tho years have fed since those tones
Were hushed within the grave.
Yes, sweet to welcome memory
With thoughts of other days,
And images of loved ones,
Who shared with US liies ways.

Glaring with clouds of darkest dye,
Not one bright spot can descry
In all that heavenly zone
But helllsh winds in fendish glee,
As If to fright. or madden me.
Yell and shrek most furiously
No home, no home, no home
That babbling stream loved so well,
Now with foreboding deathike knell,
With foaming, Boiling, surging swell,
1t seems to moan-alone +;
While boisterously toward its mouth
1t takes its winding watery rout,
With chilling, cheerless, icy shout,
1t also screams NO home!
Blow on We winds, your fiercest gale,
Hurl down, ye clouds your wintry hail ;
And thou, too, stream, keep on and rail
And sneer, and boil. and foam;
My soul is wilder here to night
Than all the storms ye can unite
Howl on, howl on, with all your might
I'll Shrek with you No home
With storms and winds, my soul agree,
'Tis like the troubled, heaving sea-
No one to cheer or comfort me-
I'm all alone, alone
A stranger on foreign strand,
a wanderer in strangers land
Too well those words understand:
No home, no home, no home.
A stranger nearly from my birth
To pleasures of the parents hearth,
Roaming to and fro the earth,-
Alone without home
Not cen place to lay my head,
No friend single tear to she'd,
Should be numbered with the dead
But all alone, alone.
Oh why was born thus to live,
And living, must always grieve
Because I'm far from those who d give,
The wanderer home.
Oh check ire with Thy Christening rod,
And make me humbly walk the road
Which leads to Thee, Almighty God,-
oh take me to ] by home.
