CHURCHES, LODGES, &C.-Several young
ladies of Troy, and in fact some married ladies'.
are talking about getting up a society to oppose
the organization of any more "lodges'' of any
kind IN that city. They do not object to the
principles of these secret societies, as thew. of
course, know nothing about secrets Of any Kind,
but claim that there are too many attractions at
the lodges every night in the week to suit them.
Between Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, Grand Army of the Republic, Sons of
America, Sons Of Malta, and club rooms, ii is no
wonder the ladies complain Of the non-attend-
ance of their husbands and gallants.

EFFECT OF KEEPING FLOUR IN BARRELS
As is well known, -four kept i'm barrels for a
long time often acquires peculiar OdOr, sup
posed to be derived from the barrel. Pro
fesSOr Pollock, OF Silesia, has lately made a
careful examination of such flour, and has
ascertalned that this smell actually indicates
an incipient decomposition preiudcial to
bread making, the gluten of the flour having
in part become changed into soluble BODY.
Thus, while sound -four preserved in sacks
contained 1l.06 per cent. of gluten and La
per cent. of soluble albuminous matter, four
other specimens of flour taken from different
barrels were severally composed of S37 per cent
gluten, to PA per cent. soluble albumen; 7 40
per cent. to $50 per cent; q per cent. to 44I
per cent; and 6.54 per cent to 6i6 per cent Two
| samples with more than per cent. of soluble
matter had an acid reaction, while the others
| were neutral. Professor Pollock believes this
| chemical change of the -four to be induced by
| the fact that the barrel prevents communication
with the atmospheric air and the equalization
| of temperature. This view is confirmed by the
oft-repeated observation that -four in sacks keeps
| fresh for much longer time, and that the mus
illness in barrels always develops first, and exists
| in the highest degree in the center, viz, that
portion most remote from the outer air.
A SAD SToRY.-A short, pale-faced woman.
| with hair fast whitening, and in the sombre
| weeds OF widowhood, was put OH trial in Brook
/ Ign, n. Y. on the Dist instant, for killing her
| husband. Her face was CHASTITY, her cheeks hol-
| low, and her eyes looked as If they had been
! wept dry. Her counsel asked the court to &C
| cept plea of manslaughter in the fourth de-
gree. and the district attorney agreed to the re-
| quest. The judge then suspended sentence,
| speaking in a kind and affectionate manner to
| the woman. She was then removed from court,
seemingly oblivious of her escape from impris-
| 0nment. This poor womans history is a com
| mon one. In August last, while in feeble health,
| she was beaten by drunken and cruel hus-
| band. FTenZied by frequent barbarity, she
snstehed up one of his shoemaking tools and
