her that he had been hurt. She imme-
diately told him that her husband was
killed. She said she had dreamed the
night before that the building had fallen
on him, and had told him of the dream in
the morning. He laughed it off, kissed
his wife and children all around, and went

A LADY in Berlin bought six yards of
green tarlatan for ball dress for her
daughter. The mother, who assisted in
making the dress, and the daughter who
wore it., at the same time fell dangerously
SICK and had narrow escape from death.
The medical adviser of the family at once
discovered poisoning by arsenic. The
green dress was chemically analyzed, and
it was found that the coloring contained
thirteen per cent of arsenic. The mer-
chant was summoned before the criminal
court; but he was acquitted, for the rea-
son that he could prove he had advised
the purchasers of the poisonous quality of
the color used to tint the tarlatan.
A LADY was recently out walking, &C
companied by her nurse and two chill
dren, near st. Louis, when one of the
latter was missed for few moments. On
being called he answered from little dis
tance, Here am, mamma, behind the
stump. I'm playing with beautiful big
worm. I've got chip, and it opens its
mouth ever so wide when I touch it's
teeth with a chip" Anxious to see the
character of the child's playmate, the two
women fastened to the spot, when, be-
hold! they saw rattlesnake, two feet
long, coiled against the butt of the stump,
and the child thrusting chip against its
head. The snake appeared perfectly pas
siye, not even giving the usual warning
with its rattles. 1t is needless, perhaps,
to say that the mother was frightened be-
yond the power Of motion. The nurse
quickly removed the child, and man in
the vicinity dispatched the dangerous

SEVERAL cases of parties at Stonington,
Conn.,, prosecuted for selling adulterated
liquors and wines, came before the Su.
perior Court at Norwich, a few days
since. The prosecution offered the testi-
mony of Prof Silliman, State Chemist,
which we copy:
[ am Professor of Chemistry in Yale
College and State Chemist. / have been
making chemistry special study for the
last thirty years. The samples of liquor
were brought to me on the 17th day of
March last. s. K. Tillinghast made his
appearance at my house, bringing three
samples of liquors. He brought two or.
ders from the Justice to examine the
liquors under order from Gordon s. Gran
dali. The orders were to Tillinghast to
bring the samples to me to examine, and
/ receipted for them. Two of the samples
were marked as liquors in the case of the
State 0s FL G. Stanton. The sample No.

the bottle. 1t is an imitation of port wine,
very turbid, and heavily laden with
sugar or molasses, and with coloring
matter.

acid, over twenty-one per cent OF alcohol,
and over ten per cent. OF sugar or molas-
ses. The specific gravity is LOIS, water

termine the quantities of the ingredients.

part combined in alum; oxyd of lead or
litharge, in poisonous quantity, and in
turbidity or in clear liquor by filtering,
about forty-five grains to the gallon: The
alcohol obtained from this liquor by dis
tillation had an acid taste. 1t had also an
offensive odor from the coloring matter.
The liquor contained deleterious and
poisonous substances. have a small vial
of oxyd of lead. y The
quantity found by me is ample to affect
any liquor. This liquor is stronger in its
contents of lead than most waters that are
poisoned by it. 1t is in sufficient quanti-
ties to be deleterious to the human sys-
tenn. @
The learned professor continued at
length to state the poisonous effects OF the
contained in these liquors.

The Tours special at Rouen sends to-day
the particulars of the action reported yes
tertay from Pontaise by way of Bcauverls.
1t was a much more important engagement
than first accounts led us to believe. and re-
suited in the complete defeat OF the Ger
mans.
Another action was fought on the line of
the Orleans railway, beyond Epermay sta
ton. about sixteen miles from Paris. A
column of ten thouSad Prussians, advancing
from Hinog. about two miles on the plateau
of Laogulnan. attacked the French forces,
numerically inferior but occupying tor1nid-
able position above Marcnil, which com
manded tie roads 70 Ballainvillers, Cuchct
and Saniex les ChautreauX. The attach
began at A. NJ. The French forces.

the line, had sixteen mitrailleurs IN posi-
ton The French behaved with singular
steadinesa. awaiting the Germans attack
in silence without firing Il shot, retreated
md r. cover of the woods, and drew
the Germans on until they were brought
obliqueiy into range of a masked battery.
which then opened on them suddenly and
with tremendous effect. The Prnssan
column was cut in two. and the French

ments into hurried retreat down steep
and rapid descent Beyond the tower OF
Mautchay. toward the barbets and lines.
these Germans attempted to make stand
and new formation, but the French artil-
lcry, which had been quietly brought up
by the crossroads of the country. here
opened upon them again with more effect
than before The retreat was converted
into route. The German troops fled III ali
directions. throwing away their arms and
the French captured all their artillery, a
battery Of steel cannon. with two regi,
mental standards. and between six and
seven hundred men. who surrendered IN a
body and We're dispatched next day to

Among the prisoners are two colonies OF
