Oiir statement that h o se ’s liver is used as an adulterant o f coffee has shocked m any cf our readers of deiieate stonncpli. The process of iisiog tho adulterant iu Dsgiand is describ 'd in Hassaii thus : After baking th e horse's and bullook’s liver, i t is groand into a powder, and sold to low prjoe opSee sluup dealers. Tbo best way to detect the adulteration is te set aside au infusion. of tbe suspected coffee, and if animal m atter bopresentin a few days tho liqaid will omit an offensive smell.

An English gentleman conversant with the process of adulterations in this own country in­forms U3 that old coEfms litevro boeu ground up in London and mixed witb coffee to give i t a peculiar and much affected! fluvor. \V« have not yet been able to asoerloiu if the practice ie ip vogue here, though w e tear our poisoners-of food are none too good for finch an atrocity.

In sgito, however, of all ofliciate^and ail the regulations prescribed by .the city ordinance,.it ib notorious that false weights ara the rule rather than Ufa vXoepGon throughout the city. It is upvioiiajiiL rt-f.H L-, that the law is not enforced, elhher through the neglect or criminality of the officials designated to enforce it . I t is reason®

rb le to tujjjjjusti th a t the inspectors conld hove fonnd this year, if they had desired, several thqasaai cases of false or unstamped weights and meusurcs., R esult pf a few purchases :—

Tlio road is poor, and needs alt tho incogno wlilch properly belongs to it. Its free passes hava curtailed its yearly receipts thousands of dollais ; nnd there is’no reason why thoyrihould bo feaued to per­sons not in tho employ of tho company; they beget a spirit of favoritism, and mako to the road moro cnomics than friends.

W hen the 0oo|iexatowu road commences busi­ness, it is to be hoped i t will al together ignore the free pass system. Lot all who wish to travel on i t bo placed oa a level— then thero will bo no cnuBe fer dissatisfaction.
