Dried beef and Buffalo jerk at Kempfs
Poison In the MOlasses Jug.

From the Chicago Times.
Syrup, pure and unadulterated, has
but small sale on the Chicago market.
There are two reasons for this. The
first is, that the ordinary consumer
would sooner be swindled by buying an
unadulterated article at cheap price,
than lay the fattering JUNCTION to his
soul of having pure and wholesome
syrup at a fair price. The second is that
the manufacture of pure syrup may al
most be classed with the lost arts. The
syrup that generally makes its appear
ance on the tables of Chicago house
holds is simply a preparation of starch.
What is supposed to be the product of
sugar-cane, is nothing of the kind.
There is pure syrup, as rarity in the
market, but it don't make much show
on the tables of average Chicago house
holds.
In former times, syrup was nothing
less than molasses, or the drippings of
brown sugar. This contains about forty
per cent. of cane sugar, together with
some grape sugar. At the present time,
most of the syrup that is manufactured
is made from starch. The starch is
boiled with water containing one or two
per cent. Cf oil of vitriol By a chemi-
cal process, the starch is thus converted
into something like grape sugar. The
liquid is concentrated, and the oil OF
vitriol, very deleterious substance,
neutralized by means of chalk. II
might perhaps be more proper to say
that the oil is eliminated by the action
Of the chalk. Syrups manufactured in
this manner always contain certain
portion of sulphate of lime, or plaster
but if the manufacturer works well, the
proportion of this sulphate of lime lef
in the syrup is small. There is Away,
danger that the interruptions manu- fac
turers will use chemicals for the pur
pose of giving beautiful, clear color tC
his syrups. The clearness and colo
give the grade to the syrup, and it is
therefore, a considerable object to tn,
INSCRIPTIONS manufacturer to resort t.
every means possible to give to his pro
ducts the desired color.

Yesterday, says Southern Colorado
paper, We saw a man, a woman, good
sized boy, two babies, five or six blank
cts, buffalo robe and two strings of
chill on single pony. Every availa-
bic inch from his ears to the root of his
tail was "taken." The poor animal was
very small, thin as a towel rack, of a
sickly pale color, and one fore leg was
about FIVE inches shorter than the other;
the knee joint of that leg was very large,
and we supposed that the missing part
of the leg was driven in there by the
weight above, so that when it was re-
lieved the leg would stretch out again
like turtles head. In fact, nearly all
his legs were short, and the crookedest
convention of legs we ever saw. Taken
altogether, it was the most amusing
horse and load we ever saw. Incredible
as it may seem, the wiry little animal
passed us on a trot When he came
down on that short leg, and the family
"kerplumed" with it, it wonld have
made the oldest man living laugh. Both
the children were sleeping soundly, for
the motion of the horse served all the
purposes of a cradle.

James and Isaac Linton, charged with
participating in the Bear robbery near
this place, were arrested at Dresden on
Saturday last, and taken to New Lex
ington, where they were "tried," and
bound over to court in the sum of $500
which amount of security they were un-
able to procure, and in default were
committed to the county Jail.
There arrest was brought about by a
rather singular circumstance, some par
ticulars of which We learned from Mr..
David Curry, who, it appears assisted in
working up the case. Blackburn,-who
had been arrested and incarcerated by
the Detective William Linton, and who
shortly after his arrest, shot the Jailor
and made his escape-wrote letter to a
gentleman in Dresden telling him that
the Lintons, and "a man whose name he
had forgot"-evidently, meaning him
self,-had robbed Bear. Mr.. Bear was
spprised of the contents of the letter,
and urged by Mr.. Curry to swear out a
warrant for their arrest, which he did
Bear recognized one Of the prisoners as
the individual who stood guard over
him while the other robbers "went
through" the house, and this, with 9th
er evidence clearly pointing to their
guilt, was sufficient to prove the truth
fulness of Blackburn's statement, and
warrant the Court, Squire Ellington, in
"binding the prisoners over"
Blackburn, it is supposed, got mifed
at the Linton's, and took this method of
revenging himself
