Adulterated Tood and LlQUors.
The people are liable to eat and driuk
poieoDoua articles, because there are no
stringent laws by Congress or the States to
protect them. Our law-makers,*however
tbsy may boast of their love of the people
seem seldom to conoern themselves mneh
about proteeting the great masses by legb
lotion, from the arts of sharpers and swindlers,
high and low. Laws are made to panfish
conmoricUiua, ?ud the counterfeiter of {
dollar may be sent to the peoetentiary for
yaara, but thoae who adulterata and counterfeit
food and drink are acldom or ever
pnnifhed. The money counterfeiter may
eheat some one out of a little money ; the
ood and drink eounterfeitere cheat him
out ol hie health and life. But who earea.
It ie usually the poorer classes that euffer,
and that ie getting to be the generality io
ever/State ; the wealthy may import their
winee and fine Vquora or pay enormoue
prices for old bourbon, whllet the commonality
may poison themselves and families on
the common articles. Let no one say that It
does not matter beeause the poor have never
any business to drink or use spirttaor wine.
It ! 1 rna norm have a riorht tc ktrnia It ar
use it for drunkenness and dissipation, bnt it
is largely used medicinally as a tonic by
thousands of persons, and will b? while the
world stands, and even if used nnnaceasarily
by the common people, they ought not to be
poisoned with it. Its destructive power is
tenfold greater when adulterated, as it nearly
always is with poisonous materials This
was roeently shown by professor SiLLtMAH,
of Uartford, who examined the common
whiskey and wine retailed there, and we
dare say there is plenty of the same kind in
every State and community. It contained
sulphuric acid and sugar of lead, both poi<
sonoua and destructive to health and life,
and the latter is peculiarly so, for it stays in
the system when once taken, and does its
work slowly and surely. "We think it more
than probable that nine-tenths of the ao.
called wine, used in the observance of the
Lord's Supper by the Churches, is all poiaoned.
The wine uaed in cooking generally
is doubtless of the same sort.
ine iiew ior* i im?? iiinuuiva mic inigc
increase in the number of sudden deaths in
that city and elsewhere, to the use of poisoned
food and drink?poisoned not tor the
mere purpose of hurting people, but to
make money. Spurious tea is sold that is
poisonous, and vinegar by the wholesale^
In the cities they suffer from unwholesome
bread, counterfeit ground coffee; in fact,
many articles of ordinary food are cheats.
The remedy for nil this would be simple
and effectual, if Congrets and the State
Legislatures would undertake it. Congress
has, by ita internal revenue system, taken
special charge of liquors. Let it pass a law
In nunieh nrl 1111 s?r?tinna IKav tra rlirpr.t
frauds on the revenue as well as on the people
; make it a penitentiary offence ; authorize
regular inspections of all liqnor houses,
great and small, and destroy every thing
that is adulterated is any unwholesome
manner ; punish also those dealers that
vend poisonous liquors, knowingly or ignorantly,
graduating the punishment according
to criminality, but let it be understood
that every dealer sells such stuff at his peril,
and our word for it they would take
pains to tee that they are not imposed on
nor their customers. The State Legislature
should also pass severe taws on the same
subject.
Horrible Murder.
Captain Thomas A. Holtzclaw was brutally
murdered on Sunday evening last, not
far from bis residence in this County, about
seven miles east of this place. He was re
tnrniog home from a neighbor's house after
ortrx, accompanied uy nis wne. coma villain
way laid the read and sprang upon
him Euddenly and gave him a blow on the
head with an axe, which crushed in the
skull, producing instant death. He fell
against his wife, who, in her terror, fled
through the woods, and getting home, gave
the alarm. Captain IIoltzclaw wae found
to hare received a cut with the axe, which
must hare been given after the fatal blow.
No certain clue, as yet, is found as to who
is the murderer, but a negro man, Andrew,
has been arrested by Constable Motives,
against who there are quite suspieious circumstances
This is the most shocking occurrence that
has taken place in Greenville for many
years. Our County has been remarkably
free from each bloody crimes.
It is not known that Cspt. Hoitzclaw
had aay enemy bearing him a grudge, nor
hat he been known to give occasion for reTenge
to any one. He wae a highly re.
spectable and valuable citizen ; a peaceable
farmer, with a young family growing
around him. His loss to them is irrepars
able and a tad one for the country. He
wae a brave soldier hi the late war, and
eommauded a battary of light artillery that
was raised in this District. Since the war,
has devoted himself to peaceful pursuits.
Hon. T. J. Robertson and the Removal

B unaway and Deatfi of a T In# If are.
On Monday afternoon laet, the fine mare
belonging to Mr. Hzxr M. Pxrrt, bream*
startled at something on tbe suburbs of the
city, and came dashing tip Main atreet, followed
by a large crowd of persona trying
to atop ber. After two or three turns near
the Conrt House, she again left main atreet,
and had almost reached the livery stable,
(where it is presumed she would have stopped
of her own accord,) when some one very
rashly struck her in the head with a stone,
which felled her. It was thought at first
that she had only fainted ; hut all efforts to
revive her were unavailing, and she died
in a minute or two.
Thia fine animal was recently bought in
Kentucky by Mr. Pkrbt, and waa not excelled
in beauty and good qualities by anv
animal in this vicinity, ana was much admired
by all who saw her. Her owner
carried off, we believe, three prizes the
pn?t BRBBon, 111 ine isirs 01 toiumnia, Ab?

horse. Great sympathy was shown the
owner, who was very much attached to ber,
on the occasion of thi* unfortunate accident.

spirited citizen has a laudable pride in

A Iree u?e of gas at the preeeot prjce,
will not exoced, ordinarialy, three dollar*
per raoDth to each family. Not half of the
consumers pay $2.00 per month. The bugbear
of the high price of gaa in Greenville,
affects those only who do not use it. Let
those that prefer, continue to use kerosene,
until, by the accidental breaking of a lamp,
or an explosion of the same, they have the
misfortune to bum some of their little ones,
then look about for a sufficient excuse, and
find only that thereby you have saved a
few pence,' and crippled your child for life,
if no worse.
The Gaa Works of Greenville are now
self auetsining, and the people ean feel as*
aured that they ean use the gaa without
interruption. Having dispensed with my
Superintendent, the expenses are very much
lessened. Persona requiring pipe put into
their dwellings or atores, can be supplied
cheaper then heretofore.

A Few Hints about Colors, for the
Ladies; by Nat Philosophy.
Mtttrt Editor*?As I ?co from your well fil
led advertising columns, that the merchants,
milliners, and mantua-makers are displaying
so many tempting things before the ladies ;
and, as colors seem to be all the fashion, it
may not be amiss to throw out a few hints as
to their selection, arrangement, and combination.
It is not necessary to say anything here as
to tho theory of colors, but simply to make
a few practical observations doduced therefrom.
If any ooo desires to look into the matter.
they well find the subject fully treated in
any work on Physics under the head of Light.
Bolar light gives us seven primary or elementary
colors, from which are produced a variety
of shades, as we see all around us. Each of
these primary colors has its complementary
color, or tho one with which if ooinbined, it
produces white light. Now it is found that
harmony exists between a color and its complement,
thus producing a pleasing effect upon
the eye; as in music the same pleasing tffec1
is produced upon the car, by the combination
of related sounds. If this be so, a little study
of colors and their complementaries may enable
many of your lady readers to exercise more
taste in the art of pleasing. We know that
all the ladies desire this art, not only in the
arrangement of their own dresses, but in the
bcanty of each one's pet flower-yard, or in ber
floral presents. A few hints from Science,
With a close observation of Nature, and practice,
would soon enable any lady to produce
that same pleasing effect upon the eye that
-Prof. DeCamps and his charming pupils know
so well how to produce upon the ear. We
know bow grating to the oar are discordant
sounds in music, and we also know how disagreeablo
to the eye is the combination or dis?
cordant colors. We at once prononnce such
an arrangement as wanting in taste, a persis- j
tance in which makes many persons ridiens
ions. The buffoon takes advantage of this
when he comes out, spotted and striped in al |
the colors of the rainbow. The following is a
list of the primary colors with their eonpiementaries
; a combination of wbioh we find produces
the most pleasing effect upon the eye t
Red has for its complementary, bluishgreen;
yellow, indigo; orange, blue; green
reddish-violet; blue, orange'-red; indigo,
orange-yellow ; violet, yellow-green ; black.
white; white, black. These coming together
will generally produce a pleasing effect, whilst
each a combination as red and orange, piDk
and violet, would produce the contrary effect.
When we remember that one color is greatly
changed in appearance by anotbor in proximto
it, we should be very careful to carry
cut this principle of harmony. We can tell
the complementary of a color by fixing the
eyes intently for a short time on any particular
color, when its complementary will appear
as a ring around it; or the complementary will
be see* on torning away the eye or closing it
after the examination. Merchants and buyers
should be careful on this aooount, as the eye,
after being fixed intently for a time on one
color, ia apt to ace the complementary of that
oolor, and ia no longer capable of judging cor.
rcetly. Relief for the eye ia obtained by examining
a oolor the complementary of the
original; tbua, after looking Intently at red
*he eye ahould be relieved by green, before re
turning to the red.
Choice of colore for dreee baa something to
do with complexion. Black give# paler to the
countenance, at nee ita complementary ia white,
whilat white prodecee the contrary effect*
Black aleo makea the figure appear entailer'

boritonial atripea ara out of all taste, giving a
squat appaaranea to tba Ogura. Solid colors,
though general!/ naat and stylish, do not
wear ao wall as cloths of several oolors ; as tba
fading and wearing of one portion presents too
atrong a contrast with the parts lass worn,
whilst stains ara mora readily perceptible to
the aye. Combination of colors, on tblc account,
if judiciously made, must look batter
for a longer time.

poison, which nra loee of appetite, great
thirst, dull tnd anxious oobUusm, a dry,
yellow skin, abdominal pains, a bine line
under the gums, muscnlar emaciation and
paralysis. Sugar of and all otbar oxids of
lead, are most virulent poisons Sulphuric
aoid is comparatively a liquid fire. It is
the great decomposer of bones In mannfae
taring phosphate of lime, and is very deleterious
but used to give pungency and a false
strength to liquors. It is sometimes styled
oil of vitriol It Is prepared by horning
sulphur and nitre in a confined apace over
water, with which lha vapor combines.?
Oxalic aoid (poison! is often used to chrape-i
the preparation. Fusil oil Is a poisonous
extract from tha distilled residue after all
the aleoholio matter has been removed, upon
doubling a run of spirit*, and is used to
impart- the "Old Bourbon" flavor to tha
whisky.
Not*.?Oo a conference with our friend
Bully Quickie, who is also a Professor, as
you.are aware, and who has reviewed the
foregoing statements, he substantially atatea,
via:
1st. I do believe that that thare fizzil ile.
from owr stilling, is th? very thing that
mean stiller* used to make " pop ekull " out
-of, but iheo they didn't sweeten the liter
with sugar of lead, nor doctors stuff.
2d. That the late raid all along the
mountings against the stills, was worse then
Lawaon's and Biown'a raids, as took ail
they could find or lay their hands on after
the surrender. Oh, J do believe they wants
to destroy all the good mounting dew to ae
to ^raisa the price and oell thia ticsle ile
whisky and terpingtine gin. And 14th, 1
do uot think that such liker is good for any
thing except to kill so-called ret>bs and niggers,
and to give to the male and the female
highland alligators when they run off into
the mounting* to lay and hatch ost yosng
Klu Kluxes from the inside of their algge.

What Next I?Northern uItraivta propose
the establishment of a grand national system
of Frea Schools, worth fifty million of
dollars, which sum is to be levied on the
Stales. It is intended as a uniform plan of
inducting the elements of true faith in
Radicalism and a general manufacturer of
public opioion.
A Or and National Church?Universal in
its Concentrated and Oeneral Benefits.?An
increasing clamor is progtessing among the
Northern and Northwestern children of
