ADULTBRATIoN OF Cor FEE.-Acting upon a
mint presented by the daily press, Mr. August
HiDkle, an apothecary OF Hamilton tested the
purity of about \ lbs. of green coffee, purchas-
ed from respectable grocer at a respectable
price, by pouring over 1t about quart of tepid
water. The water, poured off about five min
utes afterwards, was Of deep green color. 1t
was thrown out before an examination was
made OF 1t, and the test was accordingly re-
peated, upon the same coffee, tins time with
cold water, in which the coffee was allowed to
remain about ten minutes. When poured or
1t was also dark green, though perhaps hard
ly so deeply colored as the first, and was found
to be clear solution Of sulphate of copper.
This collaboration seems to be used for equaiiz-
ing the color Of the beans and cover the defects
OF rotten grains as to render them indistinguish-
able from the healthy ones. Roasted coffee
probably contains as much sulphate Of copper
as the green, although IL is less apparent. The
effect of its use is felt In pains and cocs which
would be much more general except fof the
free use in the West Of sugar with coffee, sugar
being an antidote for copper.-Cineinnati

Arresting His Brice-A Cute Lovers
Sfr0fa2om-


At the Adams House, in this place at about
Z O'Clock last Tuesday evening, Squire Rains
terminated q rather romantic aud origin ally
gotten up hrst-class elo?ement, BY uniting in
wedlock John w. Shroyer, OF Waterloo, aud
Miss Mary Krantz, from six miles north of Ls
Porte city. Ii seems that for some time they
bad contemplated committing matrimouy, but
for an equal length of time the father OF the
fair Mary had firmly If not fercely insisted th at
no such affair should ever take place, and was
order that no meeting should take place be-
tween the lovers. But they were determined,
fearless and ready, aud accordingly young
Shroyer procured one OF waterloo's most spank
was soon in private and earnest consultation
with his lawyer. As the young lady was Of age,
hsbeas corpus, etc, were suggested, but would
not answer the emergency, such process being
too slow when immediate action was necessary.
Az last happy thought occurred to Mr..
Shroyer, which was successfully carried out
thusly: He remembered once having dropped
his breast pin and Mary plsyfully picking it up
had kept IL. Capital He would have her
arrested that very night for stealing the pinl he
accordingly svore out . warrant before Justice
McQuilkin. Constable A. Cotton Immediately
preceded to the domicile of the cruel and
obdurate "psrient," closely followed by Shroy-
er, and arrested the girl at O'Clock Tuesday
another sutton for his daughters hand, whom
the father-but not the gtrl mu chly-smiled
favOrably upon. The officer had proc seied
about 40 rods towards La Porte, when he and
cd his fair prisoner over 10 his hastily -empow-
cred deputy, Shroyer. Mr.. Cotton SAYS IL wa,
he liveliest driving he ever did-trying 10 kee o
