PERUVIAN SYRUP
PERUVIAN SYRUP
Restored 10 Complete
HeaIlh.

BROOKS, ME-, Sept. Z, 1870.
Dear Sir-From early youth l was in
feeble health, troubled with bumor in my
blood, weakness and debility of the system
generally; was unab to labor much, and
only at some light business, and then only
with great caution.
Seven years ago the past Spring I had
severe attack OF Dlph'heria, which left my
limbs paralyzed and useless, so l was un-
able to walk or even sit up. Noticing the
advertisements of PERUVIAN SYRUP 1
concluded TO give it Il trial, and to my great
joy soon found my health improving. L
continued the use of the SYRUP until three
bottles hal been used, and was restored to
complete health, and have remained SO to
this day.
1 attribute my present healu. Ntirely to
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and hold
1t in high estimation. l cannot speak too
highly in its praise. l have in several
cases recommended it in cases very similar
to my own with the same good results.
Yours truly,
CHAS. E. PEARCY.

Louisiana Board fore the Knott
Committee.

On January 2S, Mr.. Littlefeld, one of the
clerks of the Louisiana Returning Board,
was examined by Morrison's Com
mittee, and was asked the following ques-
tions:
"Did the Board or any member thereof
give directions to the clerks, other than by
written memoranda, concerning the re-
turns?
"Did any member ofthe Board ask you to
perform any duty in relation to returns from
any parish,
"Do you know, of your own knowledge or
Information, of any instruction from men,
Der or members of the Returning Board con-
cerning alteration of records as they origin
ally came to the Returning Board?
"Did you tabulate or perform any duty in
connection with returns from Vernon
Parish? Did not somebody direct you to
change the vote of Vernon Parish ?"
The witness refused to answer all the
above questions, and he also refused to
answer the question whether the paper
from Vernon Parish.
Q. Did you not abstract this paper from
the files of the Returning Board at New Or
leans? A. did not.
Q. Do you know how this paper came
here? A. l do not.
Witness refused to answer the question
whether q change was directed by any
ferring the Democratic vote to the Republi-
can side, and whether the change was not
made before the paper passed out oil the
hands of the Returning Board.
On January 30, Littlefeld, Clerk of the
Louisiana Returning Board, testified before

Sd of December he altered the original re-
turns from two of the polls in Vernon Parish

press direction of Governor Wells, and that,
after making copies of altered originals,
and substituting them for the originals. the
latter were burned, either by himself or
Governor Wells. He did not remember
which; but at all events, with Governor
Wells's knowledge.
Gen. Hurlburt, of Illinois, examined Little
field, and, reading certain answers from the
notes of yesterday, which witness is recorded

was that his answers of yesterday and today
did not agree. Witness said that he did not
make the answers yesterday, as claimed,
but that he refused to answer all questions,
and he stated here, as he did ut the begin.

Mr.. ARNOLD, a famous New York
dairyman, gives the following character
istics of properly ripened cheese: Well
ripened cheese has no elasticity when
pressed with the finger; it feels as if
breaking under the pressure, and the
dent remains; it has salvy, oily ap-
pearance when worked between the
thumb and finger, and melts on the
tongue like ripe pear; the cut surface
remains soft and oily for a long time, not
readily drying up. Unripe cheese, on the
contrary, is elastic when pressed, and
hard or tough when worked between the
thumb and finger; soon dries and cracks
when exposed to the air; when tasted by
the tongue is found deficient in fat, and
does not dissolve readily.
SOUTHERN newspapers furnish ac-
counts of recent trials of new methods
in the making of cane sugar, which are
esteemed important. Mr.. I. J. Mallon,
of East Baton Rouge, La, is the in
ventor. and his apparatus is said to be
exceedingly simple-only perforated
iron pipe lodged in the knife along its
whole length, communicating directly
with the boilers. There have been other
applications of somewhat similar nature
known as "steam baths," or something
of the kind, but in all of these cases the
steam used was the exhaust of the en-.
gine, which in fact was not steam, but
vapor, and was totally deprived of the
powerful properties of steam. At re.
cent trial of this apparatus at the Hol
lywood Plantation, lot of cane was
weighed by alternate car loads into two
amounts each sixty-nine tons. The frs
lot, ground by the old method, yielded
17a grands of juice, weighing 8 deg
Baume. The second lot, ground by tn,
steam process, yielded 2la grands, of th'
same density, an advantage of fou
grands in favor of the steaming process
equal to 224 per cent. These two lots
juice being reduced to sirup at % deg
Baume, were collected in large irol
tanks, 8 by 10 feet each, and gauged, tn
first S03 inches in depth, and the latte
38z inches, a clear gain of 25 per cent
in pure sirup.
