Txx medico-legal aociety of New York dis
eussed the alleged poisonous properties of
canned fruit the other day. .In one ease of
canned fruit poisoning it was found that the

abc amalgam, anAU iras supposed that some
of the aoid dropped into the aau , A physician
who read a paper on the slbWt bafoes lbs
society recommended the examination- of tj
cap to every ean. If two holes are found
punched in it the can should be thrown awav.
Every can that does not show the golden Hue'
resin around ths edge of the solder of the ea
anouia do rejected, ir mere is any rust around
the cap on. the inside of the ean, it shows that
the fruit has farm- nted. A can without ths
manufacturer's name should be rejected. If
the bottom of the ean rattles when H is turned
up the contents are unsound.
Hon than half of a large number bf physi
dana, questioned by the British medical asso
ciation oonoeming the contagions nature of
eonsvmptum, replied in terms well ealcalated
toexoite grave apprehensions.. In 193 reported
cases of consumption believed to have been
communicated between husband and wife, it is
distinctly stated that there existed no family
predisposition or tendency to consumption In
the parties who caught the infection. Many
other eases are cited of communication between
persons entirely unrelated, in many instances
there was strong proof going to show that
healthy persons contracted the fatal malady
from invalids in their families. The chances
are strongly in favor of the idea that consump
tion, is infectious; that the germs of ' the
"bacilir are conveyed to healthy persons in
ths breath of consumptives. i '
A eou coin loses weight in eonsequsace cf

mate that a t20 pieoe should continue current

not be generaJly known that this natural abv a-.
ton has been provided for by law. The statute

than one half one per centum below standard
weight, alter a circulation of twenty years, and
a proportionate rate for a less period, shall be
received at their nominal value at the treasury
and its offices. : . It i. believed that some plan
should be adopted for the redemption of un
current coins. A short time ago' the leading
bankers of the oountty peUUoned the secretary
of th treasury in reference to the matter, and
suggested a standard ot Value for mutilated !

Maxi American physidsns are ' in, favor of i
smpowering a state board of examiners, inde-
pendent of mere. eoflese degrees, to confer the
authority to practice,. An eminent physician,
who advocates the change, makes the point
that the medical profession is poor, very poor.
Doctors who talk of incomes of f30,000 to f25,

The Shooting of Lord Leitrim.'
An ) Irishman named Nellis has snr
rendered :. to the ! Greenock police who
knows the murderers of Lord Leitrim.
The triplatragedy of Oratlagh Wood
occurred on the 2d of Aprfl, 1878. The
Earl of Leitrim lehbia residence at Mel
lord ahortry before eight o'clock in. the
morning, accompanied by his clerk, and
was driving on an outside car to Perry
to meet his solicitor. He always carried
arms. It is supposed that. the assassins
concealed themselves behind a low em
bankment between the road and planta
tion; and that having first ahot the Earl
of Leitrim they ahot the clerk and driver,
so that there might be no witnesses. The
driver; was shot in the mouth, the ball
ranging upward, and the clerk, behind
the ear, both probably at close quarters.
His Lordsbip valet was driving about
a mile behind and on coming up found
his master and th clerk: lying dead on
the road. The driver was not yet dead,
but unconscious, and died soon after.
The Earl was extremely unpopular with
his tenantry and the small farmer class
trensrallT. because of the dnroositkra long
manifested by him' to stretch the power
given him br the law to the utmost

r ' The New Tork State Senaf a - onv
mittee which has been investigating
adulterations of food,' presented its re
pfitftt .? . The ' . gommittee has discovered
alarming wholesale adalterationa of food, i
, w bich are' dangerous to the consumer
and which are depredating' propetty is
the rural districts. -: Th& adnlteration of
.butter by, tallow oil, r bone on, and lard
oil was found almost ill every town and
city in the. State and in an amount which
equals half the production of the'natural
article The imitation is : so disguised
1 that often it can only be detected by
chemical analysis .- Out ,of - thirty
samples of alleged butter purchased by
- the committee in New York only ten were
gehfilfleV o?3 f( ' ;.-,vi.-.-'
No labelB to di'sifligtiih Ihe pore from
the bogus butter are delayed as re
fjttped by the existing law. Bogus but
ter is' lafgelj purchased by: saloons,
" boarding hooses and nMrc4-ela hotels.
The poorer qualities of bogus batter sell
ior from20 to 30'cenU te laboring men,
and the better grades at 40 or 45 cents.
The Boat of manufacture ranges from 12
to 1ft cnts, the average being 14 cents.
The manufacture in this State is chiefly
carried on in 5ew "Sfork, and Brooklyn,
Several . donoerna Tfiannfactnrinsr ' ' over
3,000,000 pounds' each but of fat brought
from the West, from Jtranoe, and trom

i he balk .of the bogus butter is man
ufactured in the West and sold in New
i York to the detriment of the State's
i. dairy intereslB.'7Many dairy farmers
have been driven out of business in con-
seqaence. The lose to the State is eati-
yearly. The ; committee esumates that
40. t00.001 pounds of the product; are
B0ld annually in the State, and the ille
gitimftte bnsiness is prea&iog our export
butter trade. The effect of the decep
tion in the trade is deleterious to busi
neaa morals," Butterine can be Bold at
18 cents leas than natural butter. !
- The committee . quotes extensively
from the evidence obtained to show thi
evil moral, commercial and ' sanitar
efifecte of adulterations. The use of ni
trio and sulphuric acids in d olorziig
adulterated batter, is particularly con
demned. The committee recommends
the total prohibition, after a Riven tirie.
of the manufacture and sale of all butter
adulterations. The living cow, the com
mittee asserts cannot compete with the
dead hog. .. V 7- : j
; The committee alfionnds that 200,000
but of the QOO.OOO quarts of milk fnr
nished to New York daily in 1882 were
water or skim milk. ; The committee, rec
ommends the appointment of . a State
inspector of milk, and also recommends
that the officials to- be chosen to enforce
the anti-adulteration laws be selected
from and represent dairy interests. 7
Accompanying the report was a bill

prisoement, the sale of adulterated milt,'
the keeping of oows for th prodnction
of milk in an unhealthy condition, and
the diluting of milk with water. It pro
vides that every manufaotarer of butter
shall brand his name and the weight of
the butter on the package. .'
