employed in dyeing and some other arts,
is now mentioned as one of the CONNER
cially valuable products derived from saw
dust A familiar process is that in which
nitric acid and sugar are boiled for some
time, then evaporated to dryness, the
oxalic acid thus formed being purified by
capitalization from water. A much cheap
er material than sugar in this case, as al
legged, is sawdust, an alkali being en-
ployed instead of an acid, as we'll as at a
higher temperature. The operation is con-
Quoted in an iron vessel of proper size and
shape, and either caustio soda or potash is
employed, the yield being greater with the
latter. In regard to this point however,
experiment is said to prove that a mixture
of 40 parts of caustic potash to 60 parts OF
caustic soda will produce as large yield
as when potash alone is used, provided tho
operation is performed in shallow vessels
with thin layers of the material, avoiding,
as far as possible, the fusion of the mass.
Soft woods, like pine and fir, produce
larger quantities of Oxalic acid than hard

The proceedings against Senator Ira
Allen of Fair Haven that were to have
been instituted in Washington County
court Thursday morning, growing out of
testimony given in the case of State
against John w. Tltcomb, were post
poned because of the non appearance of
Mr.. Allen, and the witnesses were allow.
ed to go home. 1t is understood that it
has been impossible thus far to get ser
vice of subpoena upon the Senator.
The proceedings are result of the re-
cent trial of the case of the State against
John w. Titcomb for violation of the
prohibitory law. Every witness in the
Titcomb case was summoned and all OF
them arrived Wednesday evening. Tit
comb was tried in the Washington coun-
ty court recently for furnishing liquor
to the members of the legislative COM
mittee last fall when they visited the fish
hatchery. The jury on the trial did not
agree. Several witnesses swore that Sen
ator Allen furnished the rum.
