We are not disposed to take back anything
we have said on the adulteration of milk in
our city. We know that a large quantity of
the milk that is carried about the cty in mi Tx
carts is greatly diluted with water, and to SUI b
an extent, too, that to get any cream from it
for coffee is about as impossible task as to
squeeze blood from turnip 1t is quite proba.
BILE that some few farmers in our vicinity bring
into the market milk Just as it comes from the
COW. If any of our citizens have calls from
such milkmen, they have reason to bless their
stars, thank God and take cou age. A few
days ago we were presented with a can of pu;e
milk by Mr.. A e. Haskell of Cape Elizabeth.
He says it was fair sample of such as he
brings to this market, and we have no reason
to question his statement There may be, and
probably are, others who act the honest part
in this matter. They deserve the thanks of
the public and are sure of their reward. But
how is it with the large quantities brought to
our city over the Grand Trunk? Is that pure
when it is put aboard the cars? II so, is it
doctored before it is distributed about the city :?
These are questions in which milk-purchasers
have an interest. If it is not diluted be-
fore distribution, the farmers on the line OF
that railway must have mighty mean cows,
and We advise them to swap them Oft or i'm
prove the breed in some way. That's all we
have TO say now. We may perhaps allude to
the subject at some other time.

ZroNs ADVOCATE says that Governor Cham

buke to those ssntimentaltsts who think that

the above. We know very well what an enor-
nifty it would be to accuse o religious taper of
misrepresentation, but we must ask the Advo-
cate to tell us where those "sentimentalists
who think man has no claim to sympathy
until he has committed some atrocious crime
are to be found. Victor Hugo has but poor
claim to orthodoxy unless such as may be pre-
ferred on the ground of possessing humane
feelings so generous and so intense as to en-
brace all the people of all lands. But even the
Advocate will not refuse to listen to these
words lately spoken by him:
If Louis XVI had abolished the death PEN
atty as he abolished the torture, his head would
not have fallen, '93 would have been disarmed

bloody page the less in history; the fatal date

WEEK ENDING Jan. 10, 1869.

The transactions in The merchandise markets for
the past week have not been large though there has
been more demand than is usua at the opening of
new year. The period from the first OF JAM al y
has been occupied by most OF the jobbers In taking
account of stocks and preparing for the Spring
business.
The money market is somewhat easier though
