From this report, which is quite full, and which contains the results of examinations aud the testimony of experts, microscopists and chemists, we glean the cheerful intelligence that uearly everything we eat and drink is poisoned. “ Flour is adulterated with while earth. Bread with alum. Baking powders almost universally, it seems, with chloride of tin and ehlos ride of calcium, and always with glu cose. Cheese with vermiilion, red chalk, sulphate of copper, arsenic and corrosive sublimate. Lard with starch, alum ynd quicklime. Pickles witli sulphuric acid. Mustard with yellow ochre and chromate of lead. Vinegar with sulphuric acid, arsenic and corrosive sublimate. Coffee with roasted acorns, tnu bulk, mahogany sawdust, aud especially with burnt horse livers. Confectionery with chromate ofleacl, red lead, Vermillion, prussic acid, copper,’’ etc. Terra alba, or “ white earth,’’ brought to this country iu ship loads aud sold for one cent a pound, aud which produces various diseases of the kidneys, is the usual adulteration of flour, sugar aud confectionary. In candies the percentage of terra alba runs from '^5 to 4‘2. Iu gum drops from 50 to 75 per cent, is terra alba and glucose. Canned goods are especially pois onous, aud their sale is prohibited in France ou account of the cheap mate, rial ot which the cans are made, be ing acted upon by the acids ot fruit aud the phosphorus in salmon, lob sters and the like. Several cases cose, grape sugar, or “new, .process sugar,” is shipped at.present to Lous isiana to be'mixed ;with genuine sugar on the plantations themselves.

Ltxuon—Dear Sir: I enn never And words to express my gratitude to you for the incalculable UeueRt 1 Have derived from tbe use of “Smith’s Liver Tonic.” For two yearn I suffered with Liver di*e»e in tb. worst iorm, and never bad any permanent reliet until the drat of last November, when I procured a bottle lautured Irom sulphuric acid and corn starch. To make it pure is a simple enough feat iu a chemist’s lab oratory. It can be made ot cotton rags; indeed, was thus made first, iu Germany. But to make it pure would cost considerably more than to make sugar from the cane or the beet. The stull used in adulterations is not pure. It contains free sulphuric acid. “ The glucose of the laboratory and the glucose of commerce are very different things.” One sample of the “ best glucoie’’of commerce the chemist ot the Boston University. Prof. Fletcher, found to cuutuin thir ty grains of oil ot vitriol to the pound ! This stuff is almost universally used to adulterate sugars and syrups. There are 300,000,000 pounds a year ot it now produced, and twelve new factories goiug up, which will double the production. A Chicago dealer says : k ‘ Ship loads of it are sent to New Orleans- sugar and molasses.’’ (Is Litis so.?) Another- .Chicago su gar dealer says : “ Fifteen years ago our markets were filled with excellent sugars, Miller’s, Bradislt Johnson *& Sons, and others. For the past-two years there have been no puro sugare in Chicago*’’ With regard to butler and cheese, both are adulterated with oleomarga rine. This stuff was first made from tallow, and if anybody csred to eat tallow instead of butter,' there was no-harm done, ’lb Was. a matter ot taste. Now it is made from all sorts of grease by treatment with lime ahd aluai. They convert pig grease into it in Chicago, and it seems the pigs sometimes are those that died be fore killing, or were . killcdv.tp save them from dying, llog cholera doesn’t spoil the liog fbr oleomarga rine. •’ «’> 1 ‘ ‘ This oleomargarine, or oloopigas rine, is carried to the creameries, it seems, and mixed with . the butter Many large dairies now mix 25 per. cent with their, cheese and bjitter. 1 It in sweet stuff tb take.

Mr. Martin, of Houston, has intros dfteed’tttjfiWir <be Gerferat MrftsWntrt^ of Georgia, which, if it becomes a law, is expected largely to increase the usefulness of our Slate Depart ment of Agriculture, and bring it in to intimate connection with the peo ple of every part of the State. We have secured a substantial copy of the bill, which we lay before our readers, and we hope it will be passed and receive the approval of Gov. Colquitt at the a],preaching July session. A Bill lo be entitled “ An act to extend the Department ot* Agriculture by establishing Corresponding Boards of Agriculture in each ol the several counties of this State. &c. “ Sec. 1. Bo it enacted by the General Assembly, of the State of Georgia, aud it is hereby enacted, by authority thereof, that there shall be established in each of the several counties of this State a County Board of Agriculture, to con sist of one member—being a free,- holder and whose chief occupation is farming, lrom each militia district therein. “ Sec. *2. That said members of said board shall be elected in the same manner and at. the same time and places of electing county officers, and all'the laws regulaung the elec tion of county officers shall apply to the eleciiun of members of the Coun ty Board of Agriculture, who shall hold their oflices tor the term of two years, and until their successors are elected and qualified. “ Sec. 3. Said Boards shall meet at the court houses of their respective counties on the first Monday of each month. Five or more shall consti tute a quorum, and members absent,- u ing themselves from said meetings ex- o j. cept from providential cause, shall *>e ; subject to a fine of one dollar, and ou , failure to pay said fine within thirty I ‘laj' s to the Secretary, his seat shall be declared vacant, and an election ordered to fill said vacancy. “ Sec. 4 At the first regular meeting of each County Board of Ag riculture, it shall be organized by the election ol a Chairman, Vice-Chair man and {Secretary, bnt-in the ab sence of either of said officers, any member may be required by the board to periorm the duty of such absent officer. “Sec. 5. It shall be the duty of said County Boards of Agriculture to discuss such matters as may, in their opinion, relate to the agricultural in terests of their respective counties, or the country at large, and to answer such inquiries as may be submitted to them by the State Commissioner of Agriculture, and the Secretary shall, as'early as practicable after the ad journment ot each of said meetings, mail a copy ot the proceedings there of and replies to p queries of the State Bureau of Agriculture, to the Cotir- misstoher of Agriculture at Atlanta, who may use such portions as he may think proper in ct mpiling the statistics and other documents ot his department. “ Sec. 6. Said County Boavd of Agriculture shall be the authorized correspondents ot the State Bureau of Agriculture for the obtainingof in formation concerning any matter in any manner relating to the agricul tural interests of the State and for the distribution'of seeds, plants, doc- aments, etcl, of the department- ' “Sec. 7. Said niembere of said County Board of Agriculture shall receive ho pay tor theii services, exs cept that they shall at their own op tion be exempt from road aud'jury duty during their terms of office. But the Secretary may receive as compensation for recording the pro ceedings, forwarding the reports aivd other correspondence ol the board not exceeding five dollars per month, to be retained out ot tines collected from absent members. > , “Sec. 8. The Secretary of each of said boards shall, on request, furnish, GEORGIA NEWS. Locusts have appeared at Decatur. Picnics are general all over the State. There is an unprecedented amount of sickness in Hancock county. The number of pupils now in at tendance at Butler female college Js ninety-nine. The Bibb county grand jurors got alter the gents who buck, i he tiger, which caused a general stampede of the gentry from Macon. The graud jury of Screven county have tonnd a true bill against |B. R.

The ladi ’S of the Acworth Meth odist congregation have by the gen erous aid ot the community, recently refurnished and repainted the Meth odist church in vety handsome style. In Atlanta a negro woman, whose name is Sarah Johnson, was, it is thought, fatally injured by a lick on the side of the face winch broke her jaw bone into splinters. It appears that two men, George Fleming and A. Beldon, did the damage. A man has been passing himself in New York as Paul II. Hayne, ot Au gusta, and borrowed money from Mr. Hayne’s friends there on the strength of old friendship with the family. Mr. Hayne publishes a card in which he denounces him as a ftaud. On Saturday two white men Milt. Ilart aud Jesse Register, fought with knives in Sumter county. Both are lying at the point ot death. Register is cut badly, the wound penetrating the liver. Hart was almost completely disemboweled. In Dooly county Tuesday, Jeff Sto ll was shot aud instantly killed bj his brother Joe. R-port says Joe en gaged in an altercation with his wile, and Jeff interfered. This angered bis brother, who shot him down. Jeff is iu jail. Both parties arc white. The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Hartwell railroad Was held, and the following new of ficers throughout were elected : Hon. \V. F. Bowers, president, lion. John B. Bensou, A. G. MoOurry, \V. E. Stephenson, C. A. Webb and H. L. Adams, directors. Many of the ladies of Augusta, who are honorary members of the fire de partment,-joined in an appeal lo tbe firemen who contemplated participa ting in the annual anniversary, to de mean themselves in such a manner,bv their gentlemanly bearing and con duct and abstention from intoxicants, as to reflect credit ou themselves aud their department. In Carroll county a boy and girl by the tame of Bivens got hold of a pis tol and were snapping it at each other. They did not think it would burst. a cartridge. After the first snapping the little, boy went off to water the horses Coming back again the girl again snapped the pistol at the boy, and it shot and struck him in the right breast, passing through the right lung. It is not Uirotighl that the boy will live. Inspector Williams telegraphed from Savannah to Capt. John Frey, chief inspector Atlanta division, of the arrest on Monday, William J. M. Smith, late mail carrier from Tenniile to Wrightsville, Ga., on a charge of robbing the mail.
