CANNED FRUITs.-The impre sion pre-
walls among those who use freely fruits
which are put up in tin cans that they are
injured thereby, and this impression Is in
many cases correct. We have long con.
tended that all preserved fruits and vege.
tables should be stored in glass, and no
metal Of any kind should be brough BIT in con.
tact with them. All fruits contain more
or less ofvegetable acids, and Others that
are highly corrosive are often formed BY
fermentation and the metallic vessels arc
considerably acted upon. Tin cans are
held together by solder, an alloy into
which lead largely enters. This metal is
easily corroded by vegetable acids and
poisonous salts are formed. Undoubtedly
many persons are greatly injured by eat
ing tomatoes, peaches, &C., which have
been placed in tin cans, and we advise all
friends who contemplate putting up fruits
the present summer to use only glass jars
for the purpose.-BoSton Journal of Chem

Sunday morning last, a negro boy named
Bryant, 10 years old, living with his
parents near oakland, undertook to kin
die the fire, and experiencing some diff.
fculty in getting it to burn, concluded to
give it start" By the application of coal
oil. He took quart can filled with oil,
and began TO pour. An explosion louder
than the report of gun followed, and
when assistance came, not only the boy,
but many of the household goods were IN

extinguished, but not until the skin on
his body, from his chin to his feet was
burned oil, he suffered intensely until
death came to his reliet next morn hing
