UNIONTOWN.

The Ladies' Missionary society, of this
church, met on Thursday last and decided to
have lecture, for the benefit of the society;
also to enable them to dispose of some quilts
for the benefit of the missionary fund. The
topic of the lecture will not be of mission
work, as most are familiar with that; but a
distinguished lecturer will select an interest
ing subject, of which due notice will be given.
DO not come, then, expecting TO hear only
dry statistical facts, but something to interest
and entertain you, and enjoy lots of fun in
witnessing the sale of the quilts. which the
young ladies will cause to be joyful and re-
munerative.

COULD GOING.

The New York Herald thinks Jay
Gould is going. II says: she has gone
from the directory of the Rock Island
company. He has gone from the Louis
VILE and Nashville directory. And now
he has gone, together with his son, from
the directory of the Mercantile Trust
company. It is said down town that
the latter corporation forced him to go
because his connection with it caused
the public to withdraw Eve millions OF
deposits. Mr.. Gould himself is quoted
as saying deliberately that he went vol
UNFAIRLY, because of the report that he
had been borrowing largely from the
Trust company. The constant reitera-
tion OF the story he says, was moi
dong the company any good" Il
will be no loss to the country il
Mr.. Gould should be compelled to give
up his grip, because his fortune has
been acquired by means the practice Of
which are detrimental 70 the best tinan
cial interests of the country. The same
may be said Of many other rich men o.
New York, and the quicker they go thu
better. There was tolerably thorough
cleaning up among them IN the recent
panic, and those who have amassed for
tunes by dishonest means may expec
the good work to continue.

POISONED BY CANNED GOODS.

POISONED BY CANNED GOODS.
New York Tribune: A pamphlet by
DR.. j. G. johnson, of Brooklyn, con-
taIns some interesting remarks upon
poisoning by canned goods, a class of
casualty which appears TO have been on
the increase of late years. AS there is a
great consumption of canned provisions,
it is clear that the public need prOtec-
ion here, and in order that they may
obtain 1t, the nature and cause Of such
poisoning must be ascertained.
Many physicians and chemists have
looked In the contents of the
cans alone for the toxic agent, and some
times they have found it in termenting
fruits or vegetables, or accompanying
meats. But DR.. johnson shows that
there is another source of danger in the
manufacture of the cans themselves. He
discovered that in many cases it was Gus
tomary TO tasten on the cap at the top of
the can with an amalgam of muriate of
zinc; that this amalgam was put on
with brushes by boys, and the soldering
it; that nothing was
easier than for some OF the muriate OF
zinc to get inside of the can; and that
when there il must become absorbed in
the contents, and render the latter ex-
tremely poisonous, since a muriate of
tin was added to the muriAte OF zinc by
the action OF the acid wherever Il enter
ed the can. Thus powerful corrosive
poison was produced, and one 8 quite
moderate dose of which would be likely
to prove fatal, and in fact has brought
many persons to deaths door.
The knowledge that the murIate OF
zinc amalgam is dangerous, however,
Is really no recent discovery. The state
of Maryland has IN fact adopted law
prohibiting the use of this amalgam in
the canning process, and since it does
not seem possible to 80 guard II that
there shall be no danger from It's en-
ploYment, prohibition appears the only
certain means of protecting the public.
The French government has taken more
pains than any other thus far to sur
round the canning business with safe
guards in the interest of the public. In
France the employment Of any prepare
ton of lead about the cans is prohibit
ed, and also any cement or
amAlgam which, though harmless in
Itself, may, By being subjected to chemi-
cal action through contact with the con
tents of the cans, evolve q poisonous
principle. As the proportions Of the
canned goods trade in this country are
expanding continually, save when
checked by temporary panics caused by
poisoning cases, the manufacturer
themselves should realize that it is for
their interest to exclude all possibility
Of danger In the process or It's results,
while the public hGVs right 70 demand
that health ard life shall be protected
by legislative enaciments. Failing such
protection 1t is evident that the trade
will cease 10 flourish, since popular dis
trust manlfests itself very plainly IN
cases of this kind.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

-
New York Sun: 1.-THE newspapers oi
New York city justly represented the
sentiment OF the state at large, the ma.
jority for the Democratic candidate in
November will be greater than the ma
jority fer Grover Cleveland in 1882
According to list recently made up
by one of our esteemed contemporaries,
fourteen daily journals in this city favor
the election of Mr.. Cleveland, while
only three are tor MIR. Blaine. If there
is anything in the influence of the press
1t would seem next 70 . certainty that
the latter would be beaten.
The question Is, however, What effect
will this sudden change on the part d
newspapers that, in 1880. were Republic,
cans and are now Democratic. have on
the vote?. We have no means of know.
ing the circulation of these now Demo.
cratic daily papers. None Of them pub
ilsh its circulation, and consequently
the question Is shrouded in mystery
Let US consider the Times and the Her
aid, the most important among
the new accessIons. We sup
pose that their combined circu
lation amounts to a figure slightly in ex.
cess of 100000. How many, then, o.
their hundred thousand readers who
voted for the Republican candidate fol
president in 1880, will adopt the new
ideas OF those two journals, and accord
ing to their advice, transfer their ballots
to the Democratic candidate in 1884
This is wholly uncertain factor, and
there can be- no satisfactory prediction
as to It's final weight in the contest.
