WKoNG AGArN.-The Gazette intimatcs
that the only reason why we furnished
notices for Mrs. Wilhelm's lecture for the
benefit of the Orphans Home, was the 25

near truth as the editor Of that paper gen
orally gets-except by mistake. For that
lecture, as for all efforts in behalf of the
welfare of the soldiers orphans. no charges
are made in this office. We never refuse,
as does the Gazette, to all in benevolent
causc-cven though the benefits derived do
not come through the beaten sectarian
track
KEROSENE OiL.-There is as much differ
cnce in the quality Of this article as in any
other commodity. Its quality is reckoned
by "proof" fgurcs-as is alcohol. The
best or highest proof, is 10 and from this
the bcnzole is all extracted, and is therefore
entirely non explosive From that figure
the proof runs down to very low standard
indeed it is often burned ut 4S and 50,
but it is only at the peril of the consumer
1t is this impure kerosene that is the cause
Of many sad accident. Merchants shoul.i
always avoid it. Webb, No. l6, LeClalre
Row, has just receiv ed shipment Of 40
proof kerosene. 1t Civ most brilliant
light, and is perfectly safe. Don't run any
risks, but use the BEST.
