the Secrets Of Cheap Confectionery.

The attention OF the public Is called again to the
poisoning OF sweetmeats. Adulterated candies
and bonbons have caused the serious illness OF
many children in Brooklyn, and at the meeting Of
the Board Of Health Of that city the 30th of July
reported in the HERALp) resolutions Of General
Jourdan were adopted providing for an investiga-
ton by the Sanitary Committee OF the materials

that the children, at least may be protected from
the evil effects OF the dangerous compounds sold

turers OF chocolate confectionery, coeoas, bon
bons, &C., in order 10 investigate the matter and
to warn the candy-eating public of their danger
in indul2ng in these seductive and toothsome
sweets
The establishment referred 20 is situated in
Beecker street, and the reporter was courteously
received by the proprietor, when the following
conversation took place.
REPoRTER-I wish TO ask. as matter of prime
importance to the public, whether you know any
thing about the adulteration o! candy
PRoPRTEroR-Yes, know all about It, and will
gladly give the HERALD the iacts.
REpoRTER-What are the principal poisons or IN
furious articles used IN adultera,ion
pRoPREToR-fhe principal, Of course, is terra
alba sort OF plaster Of Paris or gypsum. 1t
comes from south America and ships bring 1t back
as ballast. 1t IL sold in casks or hogsheads. very
cheap two or three cents per pound) but there
are, of course, various other poisonous and
healthy substances used by unscrup1ous mon in
people they injure as long as they can make
money. Thus lampblack, verdigris, prnssic acid "a
deadly poison, gamboge and various chemical
compounds lor coiorine enter largely into the
manufacture OF their wares.

A CHILD LOST IN A SEWER.

A strange affair took place at Preston, England,
lately. Shortly alter two O'Clock little girl, two
years Of age, daughter OF Mr.. B. Fshwick publ.
can, was sent out 10 play near the house, which is
situated in Stonygate, Preston. About three
O'Clock her parents sent out for her, but she could
not be found. The parents searched the whole
district for their child, but their efforts were fruit
less. A number OF neighbors volunteered their as.
sstance, and they secured the whole locality with.
out the slightest trace of their child The search
continued unti about nine O'Clock at night, when
a number OF men, on searching q woodyard con-
faint cries. The cries apparently proceeded from
under ground, and one or the men, on looking
about, discovered small hole IN the ground
about ten inches wide, at the corner OF
nng6am. lie called down the hole the
name OF the little girl, and he received
from the distressed and frightened chd the
reply pad" On the discovery being made known
large numbers OF persons locked to the spot and
very soon number OF willing hands were en-
gagged IN the rescue. The place In which the Child
was discovered Is sewer and how she had got In
IS II complete my mystery. The work Of rescue was O
very difficult one, IL beiDg feared that some OF the
bricks OF the archway or the sewer would fall on
the child while an opening was being made At
ten O'Clock an opening OF sufficient size was made
TO let q lad down. The child in the meantime was
crying bitterly, Notwithstanding the encouraging
expressions which were made. The lad crept
discovered the child unharmed, al 'hOugh consider
ably exhausted. He raised her through the hole
ana she was lifted out OF the sewer amid the
applause OF the crowd TO the great delight OF the
parents. The poor child had been imprisoned in
the sewer seven hours
The sewer abOunds with rats and vermin from
the neighbourlhg slaughter houses, bur the child
had apparently not been touched by them.

the drinking saloon kept by Kessler and called Tor
drinks which were served by Mrs. Kessler. He

quarrel occurred, in which others joined. O'roole
was chased up the stairs. Soon after an unusual
crash was heard on the sidewalk. Mrs. Kessler
went out ana was bit upon the head by falling
smoothing iron apparently thrown rom one OF

prostratcd her senseless on the pavement. Mrs.
O'Toole denied the ownership OF the Smoothing

window, ne threw nothing out No agreement
could be come to by the Jury. -Four were OF opin-

The accidental death of john Scallen, late super

House, at Washington Heights, destroys link in
the evidence OF that famous ring fraud, for which
Harry W. Genet is now fugitive from justice.
scalien was the only witness Genet caused to be
put on the stand In his defence. After he had
testified Genet appeared as witness for himself
and so little confidence did the Jury repose IN
either OF their testimonies that they foupd Genet
guilty. The trial commenced on the 16tn OF last
December, and on Friday, the 10th, the Jury found
Genet guilty. The ex-Sherin permitted Genet to
his residence in Harlem, and IRON him Genet made
