AN EXCITING SCENE IN THE COURT
RooM.-A Woman Seeks to Acenge her
t0r0ngs. She T4r0Us .Sulphwic acid into
the Fuce Of her Betrayey THE court
room, on Monday afternoon last, was
the scene of an unusual and exciting
occurrence. a young lady who had
been cruelty wronged, and who had
sought redress through the strong arm
of the law, and finding that process a
rather tedious one according to her no.
tiOns, undertook to take the case out Of
the hands of the court and jury, by in
hicting a sudden and terrible punish
ment on the young man who had rob-
bed her of all that is dear to woman's
heart-a virtuOus name. Several
hours before the tragic sce1e in the
court room, the young lady in ques-
tion had procured at one of our drug
stores, a quantity of sulphuric acid
which she put into a common tin cup
and carefully concealed the same un-
der her shawl. She took a chair in
side the bar with her attorneys, and
when her betrayer came into her pres
ence, she motioned him to come to
her, and when he had reached the
proper distance she threw the contents
of the cup at him, intending to strike
him in the face, but as he lodged, the
greater portion of the acid was receiv-
ed on his head. This scene created
quite buzz in the court room. Law
yers in the vicinity OF the affair had
their broadcloth ruined, for wherever
the acid touched, a brilliant scarlet
was produced. The young lady was
Immediately arrested and sent to Jail,
while the injured youth was placed un-
der medical treatment, and is now
doing well. Subsequently the woman
was taken out of Jail and held in 81 600
bail for her appearance at the Quarter
Sessions.

IMPORTANT DECIsIOS.-We are in
formed that the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue has decided that Farm
ers who peddIe and sell Flour, although
made of grain raised on their own
farms are liable to pay a special tax as
peddlers. This decision, however we
understand does not prevent farmers
from selling -four, made of their own
grain, at their residence, provided the
sales do not exceed 81 200 annually.
Nor does it prevent farmers from de-
livering such -four where ordered,
when thus purchased. The law is in-
tended to prevent the solicitation of
orders or peddIing.

CANNING EGGs.-The process of
sea ming" eggs in their own shells is
something new. 1t was explained at
late meeting of the New York
Farmers Club. When two or three
dozen eggs are obtained from the nests,
place them in dish and pour scalding
water over them, and Immediately
turn it off. This process is repeated
three times, by which means the albu-
men is fixed or coagulated, the pores of
the shells closed and the egg, as it were,
canned in its own covering. The eggs
thus prepared are then packed in salt,
with the apex downward, and they
are said to keep perfectly fresh for
manymonths.

RocK-SALr.-Many persons suppose
that rock-salt is dug out of the mines in
substantially the same condition that it is
put into the market; but this is not so.
The masses of salt are broken up and dis
solved in water. The solution Is then
evaporated, and the salt removed as it
crystallizes. BY this means, the impuri-
ties, consisting, for the most part, of OK
lde of iron and various earths, are remoy-
ed, and the salt is rendered fit for use.
The greatest salt-mine in the world is at
Cracow, in Poland, where the impure salt
is taken out in huge blocks. broken from
Its place in the mine by the use of wedges
and sledge hammers.

ROMAN CEMENT.-The Ohio Farmer
says: "After making common mortar, add
one fourth of fine unslacked lime, mix,
and use at once. This is said to be the
.5foman cement which resists water, and
becomes hard as iron" This, although a
very. good cement, is not the Roman ce-
ment, so-called, but is material recently
broaght forward as the production of a
German. The true Roman cement owes
its Efficacy to about twenty per cent. of
alumnia, which it contains. An artificial
substitute for this is sometimes made by
mixing with the lime about the same pro-
portion of calcined clay.

they cannot be depended on. The Mary
