A meeting of the senate committee on agriculture was culled for Tuesday, to consider the Conger compound lard bill, and leport it us a substitute for the Pad dock pure food bill, which bus a place on the caucus calendar of business in the senate.

This means that the bill is killed so far as this session is concerned, and it will thrown over until next season, when in the rush of business, many believe it can be killed entirely. THE DEAL MADE.
