The annual report of the secretary OF

The annual report of the secretary OF
War for this year is quite brief. He
compliments Congress for such compile
teness in last years legislation that lit
tie room remains for legislative recon-
mendation.s He recommends the cstab-
lishment of military prisons in place OF
the present system ofsending army con-
victs 10 State penitentiaries; also, the
enactment OF a code Of specific punish
ments for army officers. DcscrtiOns have
greatly fallen off the past year. He re-
news the recommendation that the ex-
tras to each regiment be dispensed with
when vacancies occur, thus saving $780,
900. He advises raising the intellectual
standard Of admission to West Point ;
also the sale of a large number of useless
arsenals in the South and elsewhere, and
the establishment of gcns ally He e.,
concentration On the Atlantic 70, - :,
another Oh the Pacific these arscnaIs,
with that already at Rock Island, in the
Mississippi Valley, would effecually meet
the wants of the service at this time.
Progress in experiments with heavy ord
nance, and with breach loading arms, is
slow. He considers that the channel OBJ
structions and torpedoes have been sue.
cessful in detemening the kinds to DO
used, and recommends the storage of
torpedoes for defence in New York and
other harbors. A new system of inspect
ing disbursins officers accounts is in full
operation. He estimates that onc-siXth
of the army is still detained in the South
ern States, east of the Mississippi river.
He hopes the improving social condition
there will soon relieve that force from
further services, and says the military
expen ses are on the decrease.

AduIteration of Vinegar.

Every farmer should manufacture his
own vinegar, from cider if he has it, or
from any liquid which contains sugar.
Nearly All the vinegar manufactured and
sold by the large manufacturers, is made
from drleterinu> substances, some of which
are injurious to health ~ Strvchnine
whiskey, and operates on the system, when
taken into the stomach, in a similar manner
rs it does on pickles. Where cider cannot
he obtained, very good article can be
made from the sap of the rock maple or
white birch. A friend residing in Aroos-
took County informs us that much of the
vinegar used in his neishborhood is made
in similar process to vinegar from the
sap OF the white birch. The following is
an extract from the Boston journal of Chem
iStrY, showing the ingredients of 1.-THE poi
NonouS stuff we are using when we purchase
the article from these manufacturers sold
under the name of vinegar:
Much sour liquid is sold called vinegar,
which Is made from sulpheric acid, or oil OF
vitrol. The cheap acid is added to water
until its taste is regarded as desirable, and
then ii is c0lored with burnt sugar. to make
it resemble true cider vinegar This is a
fraud Of a serious nature, and hundreds of
nnsnSpecting consumers are greatly injured
in health by its use. We have found in
vinegar oXalic acid which is 4 fatal poison
when used to any considerable extent This
acid is now so cheap that its employment
in fictitious vinegarS is common. In view of
the alarming Sophistications and substi titu-
tIons connected with the vinegar trade, we
think the legislative bodies of the several
States should pass stringent laws regard
inc the offence, and appoint inspectors,
whose duty it shall he to examine specf-
mems offered for sale"

young man, a native of Boston, for
