Friend Mac.-I might just repeat what I
said last week about the weather. The
week was characterized by storms and
heavy rains, as heavy as ever fell in these
diggiugs.
Tie members of the n. E. Church have
raised funds and workmsn are now engaged
In completing the edifce. Formerly the
chapel only was finished Now the main
| audience room is nearly plastered, and will
be frescoed in few weeks in magnificent
style. When completed this church will cost
near eighty thousand dollars.
The German Catholic Church Is progress
ing rapidly. A railroad track is laid across
the old basin to the side of the church, on
which brick and other material are convey
ed. The German Lutheran church has the
heavy roofing support timbers on, and the
brick work will soon be finished.
On last Saturday evening. about the time
that the "curfew tolls the knell of parting
day." the fire bell of our city tolled an
alarm Of fire, and grand rush was made to
the scene of disaster, which WAS on the cor
Ter Of Washington and Franklin streets, op-
posite the third ward school house. By some
means fire had broken out in the corner
building owned by Eb. Simth, and rented as
a grocery by MIR. Kennedy. Some say that
it originated from an accident when drawing
oil in the cellar. The fire was quenched be-
fore the steam engine got fired up, and but
little damage was done beyond what the wa
ter did. This we believe is the first fire that
has occurred since the fire bell was put up.
Our city has escaped fires remarkably well.
IT is rumored that Morris street is to be
paved fren the residence of David Dibert
up to the toll-gate at Benshoof's 3 old farm.
This is good idea, for it is in an awful
condition just now, and needs paving
Would it not be we'll to change the name
of this street from Morris to Norrell street.
The latter has done more for the property
of this city than ever the former done, ten
times over.
The citizens are still taking stock in the
wildcat water, and every one who takes it
seems tcildly glad. In fact wildcat water is
a great institution. 1t is brought five miles,
from the base of Laural Hill, in metal
pipes, one foot in diameter, and six feet
under ground, to our city, and has seventy
feet of a natural fall. 1t can be squirted
from the nozzle Of any hose, over any house.
without any additional force. 1t is soft,
and washes like snow water. It is pure
and drinks like the fountains of Helicon.-
1t is cheap, and it can be put in any corner
Of the house. And, finally, it don't freeze
in winter. Sich is wildcat water.
Preparations are already being made for
the celebration of the Fourth Of July, and
we doubt not that the day will be generally
remembered.

LETTER FROM THE WEsT.-We take the
liberty of publishing the following extract
from private letter from valued friend in
the West. who was formerly q resident of
Johnstown. and from whom we shall be GLAD
to hear many times and oft in the future:
BETuALTo, ILL, June 3, 1869.
DEAR OLD FRIEND We
are at present enjoying delightful weather.
The Spring, however, until within a few days
past, has been cold and wet. We have had a
number of storms this Spring. The last one,
on Friday evening, 26th May, was accompanied
BY hail that destroyed whole fields of wheat, so
that some farmers living two or three miles
east of us are blowing it up and planting corn
With US the hail did not come down 30 thick,
but it made up in size what it lacked i'll guam
tity. The hail stones were not round and
smooth, but very rough and jagged, and were
in all manner of shapes, measuring from oNE
to TWELVE inches in circumference. Wasn't
that big ice p 1t is true, nevertheless.
Come out and take SUPP er with US and we'll
give you strawberries, for l don't suppose you
are drug il the st. Louis market at FIVE cents
per quart, and as we are distant only one hour s
ride from that city our prices do not vary much
from the rates prevailing there.
Should Barnum visit your locality in search
OF curiosities please send him to Bethalto, for
Postmaster who persistently denies all relation
ship with President Grant. Hence he is con-
sidered one of the greatest of living curiosties.
A good man and soldier who served three years
in the army was turned out to give the curlos-
ity a place.
saw B B. some two months ago in
st. Louis. He is locomotive engineer on the
Pacific Rail Road
Should you ever come West you must be
sure to visit Bethalto. We will treat you IN
true Sucker" style.
With best wishes for your welfare and hap
piness, remain your friend, JOE d. GADD.
A GOOD Movz.-Our artist friend, Mr..
T. #. Spence, has put up his picture stand
at the corner of High and Julian streets, 30
that all who are now or may hereafter be in
attendance at Court may examine specimens
of his work without first visiting bis Gallery
Mr.. 8. tells us that the display OF specimens
at the point chosen has had the effect Of In
duciug quite a number to call on him and
have their pictures taken, aud as he Is an
excellent artist and very moderate in his
charges, we can see no reasoni why many
more should not go and do likewise. Exam
inc Mr.. Spence's specimens and then visit
his Gallery on Julian street land secure q
Iiie-like picture to take home to your friends.

A YoUNo EBENsBURGER KILLKD.-John
Brook banke, Jr., a young man aged about
itightsen years, whose home is 10 this place
was so terribly injured on the New York
and Erie railroad, on Thursday night last
that he died in a short time after the accident
Young Brookbanke was employed In store
ut Drftwood, and in company with his EN-
ployer had been TO Erie to purchase goods,
sud on their way home both fell asleep in
The cars. The latter gentleman woke up after
passing his destination and found Mr.. Brook
bank missing. He telegraphed back when
be reached the next station, and learned
that the unfortunate young man had been
kOund on the track near the village of
1oungSville, with one leg broken and suf-
iering from internal injuries of q serious ma
ture. The only recollection Mr.. Brook
bAuk, who remained conscious up to the
Eme Of his death, had Of the occurrence,
Fas that be fell asleep on the train, and in
Plat condition must have walked out of the
raTs and Of the platform, with the result
stated. None Of the car wheels touched his
person, his leg having probably been broken
py the fall, and it is supposed that the lower
step Of the car platform struck him in the
stomach, producing the internal Injuries
Fhlch caused his death. Ali that medical
pa and the kindly ministrations Of the good
people Of Youngsville could do failed to save
hs life. One Of his brothers reached the
keene shortly before his death, and another.
orlando, who brought his remains home on
caturday night, did not get there till life
a' extinct. His mortal remains were fol-
SNed to the grave in Lloyd cemetery, on
unday afternoon, by g large concourse of
sfTNTing friends. he was young man of
oeNent character and noble impulses, and

The Early Rose Potato.

Meetino nv friend, Mr. Nathan
Vincent. of Blendon township, NOT
long since, he told me tnat ne
tbouoht he could beat the county on
EarlT Rose Potatoes; that ne mad
c,,t his seed very fine, not more than
ono eve to the hill; that he had ma
nured in the hill with old rotten ma
nure. and that he had taken from
one side of single bill twelve nice,
smooth potatoes, six inches long.
Thinking this a good yield for
even the Early Rose, when Icame
home / examined mine, planted
without manure, but in an old onion
bed, and found the hills SO full that
the earth could not or did not cover
the potatoes. They were sticking
up out of the ground on most of the
hills. Some of the potatoes were
very large. at least six inches long,
and thick in proportion. More than
that, many of the tops had tubers
growing along the stock for at least
one foot above ground; these tubers
varying in size from apea to nearly
the size ofa hen egg. SO
This does pretty well for potatoe S
the middle of July; when we take in
to consideration that they were
planted April 18th, thus making
themselves, and good size too, more
than six inches long, and in weight
two pounds at least, in eighty eight
days. SeE G. S. INNS. :

Vinegar.

Few persons are ignorant of the
pernicious influence of sulphuric, nj
tric and muriatic acids upon the hu-
man organs of digestion and the en-
tire alimentary canal, and yet is de-
clared upon good authority that
much of the vinegar in commerce,
or liquid sold as vinegar, is made by
the use of these concentrated acids,
alta cost of not more than one or two
cents per gallon.
The best vinegar in general use in
the United States is acidified cider.
In Europe acidifed wine is the most
esteemed; and hence the name-v,n
wine; aigre, sour. In England malt
vinegar is popularity used. Whole
some vinegar is prepared by the OK
idation of alcohol, and from weak So
lutions of sugar, and from the mix
ture of starch with yeast-from ace
tic acid, indeed, however obtained.
But all these preparations are expen-
sive, and the temptation to produce
cheap imitation is apparent.
Sulphuric acid, the cheapest and
most intensely sour, is the most gen
orally preferred in the fabrication of
spurious vinegar, although it is also
the most injurious to the health, as
may be conjectured from its soften
ing effects upon vegetables placed
in it for picking purposes. 1t may
be detected, even in the least effect
i've quantities, by placing portion
of the vinegar in glass, and drop.
ping into it solution of the chloride
of barium, or of the nitrate of barita.
IF the vinegar continues clear, sui
phuric acid is not present; cloudy
appearance would indicate the for
nation of the sulphate of barita,
which will prove insoluble, no matter
what acid may be subsequently ap-
piled. sEsS ssas
To detect nitric acid, first apply to
the vinegar few drops of sulphuric
acid, and then drop in crystal Of
cepperas (sulphate of iron) J, the for
nation of a brown ring around
which, in the bottom of the glass,
will demonstrate the presence of nj
trio acid.
Hydrochloric, or muriatic acid,
may be detected by raising the tenn
perature of the vinegar to moder-
ate heat and holding over it a glass
rod or wood shaving moistened in
aqua ammonia, or sal ammoniac.
These means of detection, though
simple, will not be practiced by
many unskilied persons, and the
great evil can be checked only by
presentation in commerce of vinegar
certified and sealed by competent
persons possessing the confidence of
the community Washington Star.
