Trees and plants are protected from al
forms Of insect and parasite; fermentation
decomposition and decay Ofmeats and veg

It supplies that long felt want of perfec
vacuum, and by its agency millions O
pounds of meat-the product of the immense
herds ofhorned cattle, slaughtered in Soutt
America for tallow and hides alone-are no"
transported to populous communities, where
it is in great demand.
It is believed that the intelligent use of car
bolic acid will eventually combat the active
principles at work in the development o.
malaria and malignant diseases.
We wish the very careful attention of oul
planting friends and others, to reading o.
an able and concise article to be found on
our outside, upon carbolic acid, from the
pen of G. Eners on, NJ. D.
Putting on our local specs the other day to
sharpen the vision and aid in making up
paragraph or two for this department, we
lighted on the following:
All of the girls in town have taken to chew
ing, and such an everlasting mastication nev'
er was known. We are glad, however, that
it is not tobacco which finds its way into their
little mouths, and yet it is something quite as
filtby--it is chewing gum. Attention girls,
while we tel you where and how this gum is
made. cit is made at Poduck, Massachu-
sets, OF gum arabic, rosin and coarse fat
Any kind of fat, even that Of dead dogs, is
used in the manufacture, and when all the in
gradients are placed in boiling kettles, a
small quantity of the most nauseous liquid
foam is put in to whiten it." Aside from its
filthy ingredients, its an ugly habit. So pray
quit it.
We next lit on the hungry man, who says
he has stomach like an ostrich. This bird
it is said can digest ten-penny nail. If he
has such stomach he is to be pitied, and all
honest boarding house keepers should avoid
him. What board he pays we know not, one
thing We do know that he finds it cheaper to
board than keep house, and another thing,
that the man he boards with always has q
hungry, troubled look. Our hungry man
whiles away the hours between meals by 60
ing from grocery to groceri" and eating
crackers, cheese, slips Of raw bacon, etc. We
feel concerned about him, his stomach is not
like other mems.
The next thing noticed was the new brick
edifce just going up on the corner Of Main
and another street. The great distance from
the street to the door steps, struck US strange
ly. We inquired of an old gentleman stand
ing near, who seemed 10 be particularly in
terested in the laying of the brick, the reason
why the doors were placed so high from the
ground. His reply was felicitous-sa he
any fool might know the reason. We were
not quite satisfied then, but have since dis
covered that to save bad debt he had to
levy on lot of granite steps and was forced
to build high to bring them in. 1t cost seve-
raj thousand of bricks to do this, but he will
save the steps. Had he called US fool we
would have employed trial Justice, but as
he said "any fool'' VIC could take no exccp-
ton.
All, there's the beef bell. It rings every day
now, and sometimes twice. Every one mas beef
to sell, and we have no objection to this, but we
do object to the manner in which it is offered for
lie. In the first place, out Of the dozen or more
peddlers there is only one who cuts up a carcass
deccntly. and his visits are few and far between
The others are butchers of very low degree, and
when gentleman is tempted by the ringing Of
the bell to 60 in quest of nice steak or roast,
nine times out of ten he leaves the place without
getting what he wants, and is beside very much
disguised. We venture to say that no town with
any pretensions to respectsbility but can do bet
ter than Newberry. The objections and causes Of
disgust are, the meat is generally badly butch
cred, it is laid out in whce bulk. and surrounded
by darkies six and eight deep, swarms with flies.
and is cut in hunks ofindefnite size, and with
out regard to the grain; piece must be taken as
t is slivered and hacked of at which ever end
he ignorant blacklist sees fit to whack away at,
,r one must wait in the noisy, dirty crowd and
AXE chance fifty to one for such piece as
nay be fancied. Nothing but positive beef
want takes some men there We must pronounce
he mode intolerable. Why can't we have our
,eef cutup and dealt out with more decency. 4
tranger in town mnst be struck with an exhibi-
ion so disgusting. Itlooks doggish. Why can't
Ee have market, and few considerate butch
rs. Let the people reason together. The beefis
,ood, but the butchers are bad.
COURT IS OvER!-Ou Saturday terminated
ne Of the most trying and disgraceful vista
ions that respectable community has ever
een called upon to endure. An infiction,
he contemplation of which was never enter
aimed, and the reality ofwhich we suppose
ould scarcely have been conceived of by the
most ardent and thorough reconstructionist |
f all the new regime. Nine days of the
welve occupied in the session were con-
umed in the murder case, case unparal-
lied almost in the annals of murder, the
murder of an inoffensiye, harmless old man,
rutally struck down in the dead of night
'hie on his round of duty as watchman at
he Newberry depot, and whose body was
brown out to become feast to ravenous
ogs. A murder that was acknowledged and
onfessed by two Of the prisoners, and pro-
en- on at least three of the four. And to-day
hese arch criminals stand unconvictcd, re-
handed to Jail on a mis-trial! There is no
afety for life or property, now that justice
prostituted. The privilege Of challenging
he jury was carried to an extent which never
eforc was known to This Court, and gave
rcat pain to the community; and repeti>
