The New York dailies, since the
report OF the analytical chemists OF
the Board of Excise has been made,
are asking the question, What is fu--
sel-oi /? Some have also made fee
bic attempt to answer the ques ton
which is thus propounded. The
query has arisen from the fact the
report above alluded TO states that
out Of thirty.two samples OF bourbon
and brandy obtained from the liquor
dealers of this city, all but four con-
tanned fusil oil. One daily gives vent
to its feelings in the following:
ais it after all such frightful
thing?
Dunglison describes it as an acrid,
volatile oil, formed in the manufac-
ture of potatoo brandy, and which is
not easily separable from it and an.
other authority says it accompanies
ordinary alcohol in its production
from potatoes and grain. Dunglison
also .lys that its chemical constitu-
ton is analogous to that of alcohol,
and that, in small doses, it is highly
stlmulating-acting like narcotics in
general; while, in large doses, it des
troys the mucous membrane of the
stomach. The same authority also
designates it q 'potatoe oil, grain
oil, corn spirit OIL 'amylic alcohol,
and 'hydrate oxide of amyle.' Some
medical men have considered that in
the use of whisky by consumptiv>
fusel oil was the effective element
having the tendency to retard the
processes Of decay in the tissues Of
the lungs. But there is no question
OF the rninons effects Of the fusel-oil
liquors sold in New York"
La regard to the effect OF fusel-oil
upon the human system we can do
no better than quote the Omitted
States Dispensatory," which SAYS =
"Amylic alcohol (fusel-oil), as shown
by experiments or inferior finimals.
is an active, irritant poison" If that
Is not sufficiently definite to satisfy
anxious and thirsty inquirers we
shall not attempt to make it more so.
vi course it may be taken like other
polsons, diluted with water and com
mon alcohol, as it is found in the
compound doled out by honest and
conscientious rumsellers, without
danger of immediate death or any
thing more serious than ''redness of
eyes," temporary madness of brain.
and now and then touch of delir,
lum tremens, until the coats of the
stomach and the nervous system
succumb to continued and prolon ged
attacks, and another wreck is cast
upon the shores Of life. But it is,
nevertheless, poison, an active, ir
rItant poison, upon good authority.
how it gets into the liquor is Of lit.
tie consequence. The reports say it
Is there, and we say let it alone and
1t won't poison Scientific liner

A WELL ON FIRE-Saturday last

about sixty feet of water in the morn.
ing in the well. After pumping for
some time, two men went down with
lighted candle to see what progress
had been made 10 reducing the depth
OF water, but, before going very far,
the air began to blaze, frightening
the men terribly. They extinguish-
ed their light, and, with the assist
ance OF those above, managed to get
out in safety. A light candle was
then lowered into the well, and when
near the water a fame of fire shot
up out of the well, followed instantly
by terrific explosion which shook
