FROZIE no DEATH.

Last Saturday night a gen.
tleman, who was on his way
home at a late hour, heard
some one near a gate
grooming Snspecting that the
man had been foully dealt
with went off and got another
party to go with him to ascer>
tain what was the matter and
convey the injured party to
some place where he could be
cared for. When he returned
with a friend the man suppos-
ed to be injured was found to
be Mr.. Jas. Irwin, who had
by some means or other got
out Of his house in his night
clothes and was nearly frozen
to death when picked up. He
was taken to the Jail the near
est point where a fire and bed
could be found at that hour,
but by the time they got him
inside the room he was dead,
In the absence o; the Coroner,
Justice Henry Avery held an
inquest next morning and a
verdict recorded in accor-
dance with the facts, after
which the body was taken in
charge and inferred - B. r.

pSAThe committee Of chemists
recently appointed to auylize the
sugar in the market of New York
have made some startling discove
ries. The following is an extract
of the report of the committee
In several of these sugars we
found tin salts and free acids, prob
ably muriatic, and in two of them
artificial glucose. While the
amount of tin and acid found in
some was small, yet small globule
of metal was obtained from two
ounces of sugar. In any case there
is no excu, e for the addition of tin
salts to sugar. They are used
solely for the purpose Of defrauding
the consumer by deceiving him as
to the grades Of sugar, and while
in some cases the quantity added
may be too small to be injurious,
in other cases it may be sufficient
to cause arrangement of the sys
tenn.

Is no accumulation in the supply.
Long and short clear sides are
being made freely to meet outstand>

also attract considerable atten-

manufactured moderately, but not

How TO EAT MILK.-There are
many who say Il like milk but milk
dGes not like me'-that is it does
not agree with them. Tie reason
for this, in most cases, is, that the
milk coagulates in the stomach in
too firm curd to be easily diges-
ted. But many who can not drink
milk, or eat bread and milk, find
no difficulty iii digesting Il bowl of
baked apples and milk. Upon this
hint the experiment has been cue
cessfully tried, by physician Of
large experience, of telling his pa
tents who could not digest milk to
use apple sauce as a concomitant,
taking a spoonful Of apple alter
nately with a spoonful of bread,
crackers, or pudding and milk.
The apple prevents the formation
OF a solid mass in the stomach, and
its juice also aids digestion, so that
no distress or sense of heaviness
follows after a meal thus taken.

WH4T SH4LL IT BEe

There is now some diversity Of
opinion. Gays the n. @. City Item,
as to the issue on which the Demo-
cratic party is to go before the
country in 1880. Some contend that
it shall be the money question, and
that, so narrowed down az 10 bring
the constitutional powers Of the gov
ernmeut and the claims Of moncycd
monopo!ies into sharp antagonism.
We, however, incline to tho opin-
ion that the money question has
pretty nearly solved itself, and that
after tho first of January, when
greenbacks will in all large domes-
tic transactions oatrank gold in
popular estim alton. there will; be
very little left for the gold bugs to
make a fight upon. Nor viii! any
serious attempt be made to substi-
tute the local issues Of State banks
for the Treasury notes issued direct
ly by the government. These lat
ter have so fastened themselves uEon
the public confidence in their long
continued contest with gold aud
silver, that it will be difficult to
find any State policy so narrow as
to condemn them now, or desire the
establishment Of local banks Of
issue.
There is, however, ore issue on
which the Democracy if the ops
portuni;y now presented be no;
lost, can appeal to the country
with decided advantage. We refer
to practical rctrenchments and re-
forms. On this issue the Republi~
cans have virtually no record.
They appear determined to 60 in'o
the next presidential contest with
Grant alone as their watchwo"d
and refrain, and touching him all
the traditions are sadly Smirched.
The Democratic me nbers Of Con,
gress, have however, made i, imros
sibc to have such combinations as
those which hatcked the Credi,
Moblier arrangements and Black
Friday, and those more modes,
institutions which gave rise to the
District Ring, the Whi.key Ring,
and a dozen other swindIing organ
iZations.
During lis present session the
House has manifested determine.
ton to cut down appropriations
considerably below what they were
last year, so as ia reduce the entire
appropriation to $40 900 900 or
less, which would be $40, ZOO 600
below the appropriations Of the
last Republican House. This, with
what was previously accomplished.
will mako saving of $3.50, 900 600
in the ordinary expenses Of the
government during the four years
in which the Democrats have lad
control Of one branch Of the Ma
lional Legislature. Upon this
showing a respectable issue can be
made in 1880, and it would be
quite as cffectual against Grant as
any other candidate.

got along nicely had he not
listened to friends who urged
him to apply to Congress for
a charter for the bank anG
power to start branch institu-
tons. From the first the bank
grew until there were at least
100 branches in the different
Southern cities. The District
Ring got hold Of it, and lent
the money on worthless secu-
rites, and down it went, all Of
Wilson's property going with
it. His daughter, who had led

[
acknowledge that the promise ha;
been kept so far as it relates to
liberty and religion-but aohere IS
our property? That is the question,
and the only question suggested by
the searching inquiry which Mr..
Skipwith is instituting. The act
Of Congress Of April IA, 1872
found us in the enjoyment OF all
three Of the blessings promised MS
by Mr.. Madison in his procsama-
ton of October 9th, 1910. To-
day one Of them is not. And why :?
The answer to this interoga,ory as
given from the statutes aud anthem
tic records o! the Republic, is that
it was absorbed by Act of Congress.
Considering that West Florida had
no representation in that Congress:
considering too that the people Of
West Florida, had broken down
the last foreign toll gate between
the commerce of the great West
and the ocean, and delivered the
keys TO the Federal Government
wo adopt the conclusion, that the
policy of the Federal Government
ever since April l4th, Is II has
been Gerogatory to the vested
rights of the people of West Flor
ida, derosatory to the claims of the
people upon the gratitude of the
Republic, founded on services rem
dered OF inestimable value, and in
palpable violation Of the assurance
givec in Mr.. Madison's proclama-
ton Of October 9th, 1910. The
legacy of restitution bequea thed by
that great and virtuous statesman,
upon his success ors in Office has not
been discharged. The sooner it is
acquitted, the better for the honor
and fame Of the Republic. Vheth-
er the general Government handles
orr inheritance as a wrongful dis
seizor, as a lawless tresspasser or
(pot to put too fine a point on iD
as Sguatter, it owes in either Cav
pacity fall and equitable restitution.
Possibly it may assume the role Of
Trustee, bat even in th!slast cats
esory we think The time has come
when it should hand over the trust
AS we regard the prompt con-
sideration Of these matters by the
general Government. of vast impor,
lance to the right and interests of
the eight Parishes claimants, we
appeal urgently to our confreres of
the press of the Florida Parishes
to embrace every opportunity to
forward it.-Patyiot- Democrat.

URANrNE.-This is the most recent
" discovered, and perhaps the most
remarkable, of all the coal tar or ami
line groupof coloring substances, now
so extensively used for the adornment
Of the finest fabrics. Urapine is said,
by chemists, to be the most highly
fuorescent body knewn to science.
Its coloring power is astonishing; a
single grain will impart marked col
or to nearly five hundred gallons Of
water.
A most interesting experiment,
which anybody may try, consists in
sprinkling a few atoms of Uranine
upon the surface of water in a glass
tumbler. Each atom Immediately
sends down through the water what
appears to be a bright green rootlet;
and the tumbler soon looks as if it
were crowded full of beautiful plants.
The rootlets now begin to enlarge,
spread and combine, until we have a
mass of soft green-colored liquid. -
Viewed by transmitted light, the col
or changes to a bright golden or am
Der hue; while combination of green
and gold will be realized, according
to the position in which the glass is
held. For day or evening experiment
nothing can be pretticr than these
trials of Uranine, which are especial
ly entertaining for the young folks.
We are indebted for examples of the
color to the editors of the Scientific
american, who are sending out speci-
mems, free of charge, to all their read
ers. The subscription to the paper is
$500 for q year, Or SLIGO half year;
and a better investment for the money
could hardly be named.

December 28th, 1873.
The second session Of the Teach

held during the past week at Pleas
ant Valley school-house. There were
but eleven members enrolled this SEES
sion; some Of the absentees were
probably attending the Morgantown

day evening, ard a spelling match on
Friday night, followed by debate
on the question: Should secret soci-
cites be toleratedw To affirm, VIM.

The Institute was very interesting
and was well attended by the citizens.
There does not seem to be SO much
opposition to the Institutes as was
manifested last year. 1t is very
likely that the Legislature will abol-
ish the Institutes this winter, and
should it do so, the teachers Of Gin
ton District have decided to continue
to hold them at their own expense.
The next session Of four days will
be held at Smiths, in October, 1879.
