    I'OOD AND ITS AUl LTF.llTIOS.
The T.omlon Quarterly Review for April
Vcvh'ws a work upon "food nul its Ailul
torntinns, composing tlio reports cf tlio
Analytic Snnititry Commission of the 't.nn
rot.' in the year 1851 to 1854 inclusive."
llio rpvelntions of this work relnto nlniost
exclusively to the. u.lullcnitions practiced in
J.omion, but Unfortnnuielv knavery of this
sort is cosmonolltnn. nml tnoiioli Wei mnv lint

Analyst of the ' tiaucet Commission," in his
inquisition Into the secrets of dishonest man

scope his most rwvfrrul ngetit of discovery.
Ho pet ambulated thu town liimself, or sent

npon all of which tho inexorable microscopo
was sot to work, nnd every fraudulent tminplo
After due notice given, subjected its vendor
to ho pinned for ever to thu terrible pages
of the Commissioners' report. In this man.
Ucr direct responsibility was obtained. If
"tho falsification denounced was not the work
of the retailer, ho wus Rind er.ough to shift
tho blame upon tho ninnuluf turcr, nnd thus
the truth came out. Uy this mode of inves
titration, it was found that to such a nileh of
refinement hud the ait of falsification of !
alimentary substances reached, that tho very
nrticles used to adulterate were adulterated j
und while one tradesman was picking the
pockets of his customers, a still more cun
ning regno wns, unknown to himself deep in
liis own !
'I'ho manner in which food is adulterated is
stated to be not only one of degree but of
kind. The most simple of nil sophistications,
und that which is most harmless, is the mix
ture of inferior qualities of the samo sub
stance. Indeed, if tho price charged were
According to quality, it would bo no fraud at
nil, but this adjustment rarely takes place.
Secondly, the mixture of cheaper articles of
another kind; thirdly, the surreptitious in
troduction of materials which, taken in larro
quantities, are prejudicial to health ; nnd
fourthly, tho admixture of tho most deadly
poison in order to Improve the npp.wraneo .of
the article 'doctored.'
Tiro results given in the pages of tho report-
are sufficiently alarming to thoso who
uro disposed to inquire what they eat. Tho
system of adulteration is so wide-spread as to
embrace almost every article of consumption.
Kven the condiments that give flavor to tho
more substantial alimentary substances do
not escape. Mustard is adulterated with
Hour for bulk nnd with tumeric for color,
i'epper is sophisticated with flour, rice, and
linseed meal, and in London a cask labelled
1. 1. (pepper dust) nnd holding the sweep
ings of the pepper warehouse, is apart of tho
furniture of every grocery. In red pepper
tho adulterations resorted to are not only
fraudulent but poisonous. We are told that
out of twenty-eight samples snhtmtted to
examination, tn loss than twenty-four wero
adulterated with white mustard-seed, brick
dust, salt, ground rie.o, nnd ileal nawdutit, by
way cf giving bulk ; but as nil of these tend
to lighten tho color, it is necessary to height,
cu it to tho required pitch. And what is
employed to do this? Out of twenty-eight
samples, red lend, and often in poisonous
quantities, was present in thirteen 1
The great stnplo nrticjes of food ore not
subject to adulteration in the same propor
tion as these articles of minor consumption,
but in many instances the frauds resorted to
nro more disgusting. Meat is exempt so
long as it remains in tho shape of joints, but
ine moment tne original tibrc nnu lorm can
be hidden thespirit of craft begins to work.
Certain prejudices have always existed
against polonies nnd sausages, for example,
und, if we may believe a witness examined by
the .Smithfield Market Commissioners, not
without reason. It is an old joke that no
donkeys estst within twenty miles of Kpping,
so famous for sour-ages ; but if all tho donkey
tribe in Kugland wero to fall victims to the
chopping-maehino they would fail to supply
the polony and sausage establishment of the
metropolis. Mr. J. Harper, for instance,
being nnder examination, upon being asked
what became of tho diseased meat brought
into Loudon, replied :
"It is purchased by the soup shops, mcnt-
pie shops, and sausage makers. The trade
in diseased meat is very nlarmimr. as nnv
thin!? in tho shape of flesh can be sold at 1
about ono penny per pound, and I am cer- !
tain that if one hundred carcasses of cows '
wero lying dead in the neighborhood of I Massachusetts and Xew Hampshire, receiving
Loudon 1 could gut them all sold within ! SCOjicr night. 1 could draw well in Colum-twenty-four
hours. It don't mutter ultut then ! bus.'Ohio, (where 1 have never been,) and

Dread also is subject to adulteration.
When it is made from damaged or interior
flour, a mixture called by the trade hards"
und "stuff," which is nothing inoro than uliiin
nnd salt, kept prepared in large quantities by
tho druggists, is used. Prom this mixture
tho baker derives the advantago of improving
the color of his bread, while it nlso absorbs a
large quantity of water which ho thus sells
at a high rate per pound. In somo cases it
was proved that tho millers had used alum
to improve tho appearance of their flour.
Tea drinkers will llhd the results adduced
by Dr. lfassal reason to eschew hereafter
that favorite beverage. Pure green teas, it
is shown, aro not to be found in Kuglnnd or
America. It is adulterated in China, and its
imitations hero aro embellished with Prus
'hian blue, tumeric, and copperas, while tho
milk we infuse in it is variegated with water,
anuatto and oxide of iron. Of fifty samples
of green tea analysed by Dr. liassal, nil
wore adulterated. There is one particular
kind which is almost entirely a manufactured
article gunpowder, both black and green
the former being culled scented caper. Doth
have a largo admixture of what is termed
'lye tea' or a compound of sand, dirt, tea
dust, and broken down portions of other
leaves worked together with gum into small
nodules. This dotestiblo compound, contains
forty-five per cent, of earthy matter, nnd is
manufactuied both in China and in Kugland,
for the express purpose of adulterating tea.

lon (tho author of an article upon the teas of
eominerce) states that about 700,000 lbs. or
this spurious tea have been imported into
tireat Itrituin within eighteen months 1 Sin
gularly enough, tho low priced teas are the
only genuine ones. Kvery samplo of this
class which was analysed by Dr. 11 assail
proved to be perfectly pure. Here nt lea.-t

The .Sirir of the Xorth says "Of all Acts
passed by the last legislature, that which will
moit interest the business community is the
enactment of a portion of the Dritish stutue
of frauds, which will require nearly all con
tracts to bo in writ hip, and to be signed by
tho person who is designed to be held liable.
In tlio following cases they will be entirely
void if they depend only on verbal evidence:
1. Where it is designed to charge the de
fendant, upon any special promise, to answer
for the debt, default of miscarriage of another
person. This will apply to all assumption
where the engagement is collateral und not
original.
'2. Upon any contract or sale of lands, or
any interest in or concerning them. A part
of this same statute was adopted in 1772,
which declared void nil contracts for any in
terest in real estate for a longer term than
three years.
!t. C poll any agreement which is not lobe
performed within ono year from tho making
thereof.
This act is to go into operation on the first
of January next, and is to apply to all cases
where the subject of the agreement exceeds
'20. It has long been in forco in some states
of the Union, and is adapted to a condition of
society liko that of Kugland and the Eastern
slates, where all. business men have a good
commercial education. How it will work
where young men, after an apprenticeship,
start u family und shop upoii "their own
hook," and enter into business before they
understand uny of its details, remains to bo
seen.

The storm of Sunday evening, though
of short duration, was very severe and de
structive. A number of fruit nnd shade trees
were torn up nnd destroyed.
The overage temperature of tho month of
June just passed, in Philadelphia, was 78.9.
The average for tho mouth of Juno last year,
was el Jn .Mine l&l.l, tho nveragn was
77; in ISoG it was 75.5; in 1839, 79.2. Since
that time, the average was from 80 lo 81, ex
cept the month just passed.

tThe funeral of fcamuel J, Fry, whose
melancholy death, by falling under tho conl
train on the Philada. and Sunbury Rail Road,
we noted last week, took place on Sunday
Inst. It was one of tho lnrgest funerals we
over witnessed in this place. A large num
ber ofhis friends came in from Slmmokin by
a special train. The company t f Artillerists
and several societies towhich he was attached,
attended in procession. His melancholy fato
excited much sympathy.
a33T Wkkvii.. Wo, regret to say that the
weevil, in some places, has become very de
structive to our wheat crops. A farmer from
Shamokin township, says that on Saturday
last he could scarcely see a single weevil in
his wheat, a few dns after ho was ablo to
count moro than a hundred in a single head.
Thus far, he says, the ravages or this insect
are confined to tho luto wheat, which perhaps
constitutes in some places, nearly half the
crop.
THE CELEB RATIOS Of Til K 4TH.
Tho celebration of tho 4th of July, was va
riously celebrated by many of our citizens.
A largo party with a number of citizens from
Northumberland took the cars of the Phila
delphia and Suubnry Railroad at 8 o'clock A.
M. and proceeded to Mount Curincl where
they arrived ut half past nine. The compa
ny, which consisted of about eighty persons,
in addition to some that came into the cars
nt Shamokin, wero ushered into the large and
handsome drawing room of tho new hotel
kept by Jos. M. Feger. Fully two thirds of
thu company wero ladies, and mostly young
ladies, which means, of course, unmarried, al
though thero wag a fair representation of
married ones, with their lords, sufficient lo
temper the laughter loving mirth of youth,
with the matronly gravity or niaturcr years.
It wag worth a five dollar bill ut least, to any
bachelor, not entirely case burdened, merely
to witness thu galaxy of beauty and intelli
gence, that was packed in the curs, on that
occasion. The music having, by some mis
hup, beeu left behind, dancing was neverthe
less commenced on ono of the. porticoes, by
tho aid of singing, and an amateur performer
ou a cracked violin. At two o'clock the com
pany was called to tho large dining room, to
which place tho tables, on the porticoes, had
been removed, on occount of the rain. After
dinner, dancing re-commenced with renewed
spirit, a couple of musicians having been
brought over from Ashlund At 6 P. M.
the company left in tho cars for Sunbury,
which place they reached in ono hour and
twelve minutes, all highly delighted with tho
trip the scenery and the performances of the
day.
Another portion of the citizens, accompan-
ied by the liruss Hand of this place, went to
Upper Mahanoy, to participate in the cere,
monies of dedicating the new Hull of the F.u
reka Lodge neur Deissels old stand. Tho
New Hull is a handsome white frumo building,
thu lower story intended for school purposes.
The interior of the Hull is well arranged and
handsomely furnished. While in the midst
of tho ceremonies, a large portion of the ceil
ing suddenly camo down, enveloping the
wholo audience in a cloud of dust and mortar.
The scene of confusion that followed is iudiscrt
bable, and further proceedings were entirely
cut ofT. We regret to learn that the curpet
and furniture was considerably injured.
There was ulso a Sunduy School cclebratiou
ou the farm of Mr. John Haughawuut in Up
per Augusta, at which some of our citizens
were present.
Tho Methodist Sunday School of this place
also guvo un entertainment to their scholars.
Some of thu Firemen belonging to the
Uood Intent Company of this place, accepted
an invitation from the Firemen of Milton, to
colebrate the day at thut place, uud were much
pleased with the proceedings and eutortuiu
ment. There was also an entertainment at the
Point, below tow u.
la the evening the Junior Sous of Ameri.
ca in this place had a torch-light procession,
proceeded by drum and life.
We regret to eay that we1 lave heard of
some instoucus that argued strongly for the
uoeaswty of a law, roalraiuing tho free use of

TIIK C LAY MONt .11 EN T AT FOTTSVILLK.
Tho Inauguration of tho Clay monument
nt Pottsville on the 4th of July inst., will be
one of tho great events of that place and
will attract thither a large concourse of peo
ple We aro indebted to tho committe for
an invitation to bo present on this interesting
occasion, but which engagements ticnrer
homo prevent us from accepting. This is
said to be the only monument of llcfiry Clay
in the United States and reflects great credit
on our enterprising neighbours of Pottsville.
Tho corner stone of tho monument was laid
on tho 26th of July 1852. Hie Stutue is of
cast iron, 15 feet high and was executed by
Robert Wood of Philadelphia. It was ex
hibited ou a column in. Spring (J union Street,
Philadelphia, for somo months, Inst year.
Thoso familiar with the face or portrait of tho
great Statesman, will readily recognise his
features in tho statue.
' The Orator of the day will bo the lion.
Chas. Gibbons of Phlla. jov. Pollock nnd
others will deliver addresses. Tho cost of
tho monument, when finished is between
$7,000 nnd 8.000.
We extract tho following description and
deluils from the Miner's Journal :
The Iron column, of (Jrecian Doric nrchitec
turc, rests upon n substantial granite base, of
two steps, the wholo resting upon, a terrueed
walk, 9 feet wide, of conglomerate stone. The
entire stonn work composing the base of tho
column is 15 feet in height, nnu is composed
of material taken from our own mountains.
The column, which was designed bv Mr. Frank
llcwson, was cast in sections, to tlio numt.er
ofeirxht. F.ach section is 5 feel. 3 inches in
height, and rests on its fellow beneath on in.
side flanges, bolted firmly together. The to.
tal height of the cast iron portion of the col
umn is SI reet ; tho extreme height from the
lower portion of tho base, f.fi feet ; height of
steps of base above sule-wnlk in Centre Street,
iiJ teet ; total height trom I entrc btreeelsule
walk to foot of statue, 121 feet. The total
weight of the castings, (the column and stat
ue.) of tho Monument, is 45 tons.
thestatno which by thu way is 15 Teet ill
bright, and weighs between 7 rind 8 tons, is
the work of Mr. Robert Wood' of Philada.,
and notwithstanding it is the first colossal
iron casting of the description ever executed
in this country, is in onr opinion, remarkably
line, botli in lorm ami teature. I he leutures
of the statue nre life like and expressive, nnd
enn be easily recognized as a correct repre
sentation of Mr. Clay's face, even from the
depot of the Rending Rail Road Company,
several hnndred feet distant. The attitude
will bo readily recognized by those who have
enjoyed the privilege of witnessing Mr. Clay
in the United Stntes Senate, while the States
man nddressed that body.

Tho increase of coal from all the regions so

live mouths of the season by canals remain
yet, and thu market will require about 800,

FOB ALL THE PUEP0SE8 OF A
FAMILY niYSIC.
Turns baa long existed a public demand for an
elfectiva purgative pill which could be relied on aa
sure and perfectly aute in its oiration. ThU has
been prepared to meet that demand, and nn extca
aire trial of its virtuea has conclusively shown with
what success it accomplishes tho purpose designed.
It ia easy to make n phvsicnl pill, but not eusy to
make the best of all one which should havo
none of tho objections, but all the ndrantugca, of
every other. This has bcon attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
tho public decision. It has been u.ifortunato for
tho pnticnt hitherto that almost every purgative
liicdie.no is ncrimonioua and irritating to the bow
els. '1'hu is not. Many of them produce ao much
grilling pain nnd revulsion in the system as to more
tliau ccsmtcrbalnnce tho good to lie derived from
them. Theso pills produce nn irritation or pain,
nulcsa it nrise from a previously existing obstruc
tion or derangement ia the bowels. Ucing purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use iu any
quantity ; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several 'disease to which they nre ap
plicable nre given on tho box. Among the com
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, we
mnv mention Liver Complaint, in its Tarious forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor nnd Loss (.''Ap
petite, listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
liilioHs Fever, Fever nnd Ague, Pain in the Sido
and Loins ; for, in truth, all these are but the con
sequcuce of diseased action in the liver. As an
apjriont, they afford prompt and ure relief in Cos
tivencas. Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof
ula and Settrvr, Colds with soreness of the body,
i i leers nnu impuniy oi me uiooa ; in snort, any
nnn cverv case wncre a jiurgaiive is roquireu.
They have also produced some singubirly suc
cessful cures in llheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, (.ravel,
Krysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Buck, Stomach, nnd Side. Thoy should be freelv
taken in tho spring of tho year, to purify tho blood
and prepare the System for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach nnd
bowels into liealibv action, and restores ttie armc-
I lite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulerit action on the circulatory system, reno
vate ibo strength of the bodv, and rostore tlio
wsstcd or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an oeriisii.mil dose is advantageous, even
though no serious derangement exists; but un
nsKeasury dosing should never be curried too fur,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
w hen taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a phvsic is required cannot be ennineratod here, but
they' auggest themselves to tho reason of every
body ; and it is confidently believed this pill w ill
answer a better purpose tliau am thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt whnt remedy to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine. Being sugar-WTappcd they are
Eloasaut to take, and being purely vegetable, no
ana can arise troui their uao in any quantity,
for minute direction aco wrapper on tho Box.

This remedy has won for itself such notoriety

over every other medicine of its kind i too appar

to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec
