THE ATHENS GEOllGJAN: DECEMBER 25, 1877. Drugged and Robb ml on a Train. H«m a i It.ilhm Peanut Vender Say* be Loat One Thonaand Two Hundred Dollars that he had Sated. Peter Frank,'an Italian peanut vernier, who resides in Main street, near Ward street, Paterson, N. .T., •♦•ported to the police of that city Thursday that ho had been vobhed of one thousand two hundred dollars. His story i< that in bis twelve years’ -residence :n Patterson ho managed to save a little over one thousand two hundred dollars, which lie, up to a short time ago, had deposited in a New York bank. Owing to the re cent scare among bank depositors, he withdrew his money and secreted it in his hou e Last week a fellow- countryman stopped at his place and professed to be an old acquaintance. The newcomer appeared to have considerable money, and lie frequent- . si towed F.iank rolls of coin. Frank returned this mark of confidence by telling the stranger that- he had twelve hundred dollars in his house. man appeared astonished that lie should keep bis money in the honse instead of placing it in a bank, and, . on his assurance that the banks were all safe again, Frank determined to return bis money tp the bank. On Monday- Frank and bin friend entered an Eric Railway train at the Paterson depot. After passing Clif- ton the stranger said that he wanted to go into the next car for a minute. Hte left a valise with Frank, with the •caution to look out for it, ns it was full of gold. Frank remembered no more until he awoke in the Jersey City depot, and found that he. had been robbed. The valise, on being opened, was found to contain two bags • «f-hot at his loss, and until Thursday told it to no one but the members of bis family. ‘ The police do not. dogbt the story, lint they do not expect to find the thief. During the 'week’s acquain tance with hint Frank. <tid not Yearn his lifuno.—iW Y. Sim. food adulterators. Milkmen, bakers, grocers and batchers were arrested for selling adulterated or impure arti cles of food, prosecuted and punished. The result has been'extremely benefi cial, not only to that city, but to all others, and the probability is that wc are now getting much purer arti cles of food than for years past.—AT 0.

N>tb. jug; is. what il seeuis to lic^ every, tiling is .ndulUTateil. Con..‘e*w ien noli! ill packages, is often nothing but a erimpumhl ot roasted* beans, p iaJ, cbieory, burnt corn, «lmicletio%i * mil otbej’ roastetj grains of various kinds; while giottnd coffee is <?tquenlly s lvv- dnst, ‘•covered with Venetian red. - Few, however, dare to go 'tlms Jh>, and are generally coutent'witb adult- eraticur the coffee with chicory. Bui as Pciulra remarks: “ While the grocersj on the one blind, client tlieir customers by adulterating coffee n*>th cbictpy, the dealers in that article in ‘“turn cheat the grocers by Adulterating ti»c chicory.” Tea is more difficult to adulterant In London, however, th> re are eiglit establishments where the grounds of tea making, the old exausted tea leaves, are bought up from the hotels and coffee bouses, dried and recolored so that the same leaves may be used a dozen times over in making tea and yet. be apparently as good as ever. There is scarcely any need of going over the whole list of adulterated ar- • tides of food. Even flour itself is adulterated nnd mixed with potato siaich, bean flour, chalk, bone dust and even plaster of pari*. White clay and alum are some’inies added to bad wheat flour to improve its quality and render il better fitted for bread making. The mere adulteration of articles of food, however, is not the fvorst feature of these trade swindles.- The watering of whysky and tho substi tute of chicory for coffee aie, of course, swindles, but not daugeiotis ones. On the other hand, the articles used to the adulteration is iiir top often a poisen; never, it is true, used in sufficient quantities to be instanta neously dangerous, but at tlu same time extremely deleterious to health In New York these disclosures resulted in a fierce onslaught on the getheras husband and wife usually/ do iu that Territory t second, that he j believes it morally or legally right for J a man to have more tin; one diving 1 rind nndivoreed wife at the same time, he knowing them to be alive or in lie Territory, or to cohabit habit ually, as with a wife, with more than one woman.
