In the Criminal Oourt, Judge MacArthur, ‘his morning, the ease of Nimrod Norris, Frederick Harris and Mary Ward, charged with the murder of Riehard Lewis, on the morning of Jaly 4th last, was resumed.

Le arose, pulled the knife from bis neok, took hold of Norris, still holding the knife in one hand, and Biue came across the street and took the knife from Lewis who fell across the pavement.

The latter took a young lady out sailing, and on returning ‘to the island became involved in a difficulty with the girl's lover, and St. Leno went to his as- sistance. After the fracas he accosted Mr. Hook, and asked him why he had not assiat- ed bim in the fight. Hook replied that he thought St. Leno in the wrong in engagin in the Hight, and ought to have been thrashed. St. Leno immediately assaulted Hook and while grappling with him, he planged the biade of @ knife into Hook’s abiomen, and with the same knife he cut Hili severe- ly im the throat.

There ara doubtless some of the small refiners in the production of adulterated the most of this sort of wash tha! is capture on is pu’ upon the market comes from the south west. ern refiners. In order that dealers may know how to test this spurious article we subdjoin directions for making a simple test fur water:—Take @ clear glass bottle, fill it With the lard to be tested (leaving out the cork); place this bottle about six inches from the stove or fire, and let tne lard slow- ly melt, being very careful not to get it up to the bolling Ce the water would then ova) te; most of the water will slowly fall to the bottom of the bottle, and the lard now melted will rise to the top. By glancing at the amount of water now ited at the bottom Of the bottle, as compared with the amount of ei] (or lard) above it, you can easily tell about how much water there is in the fraudulent article. Should the lard not settle clear, cf orm itate much water, it is an evidence that it is also adulterated with alkali, which serves to combine a part of the water with the lard, making soap of it, which does not precipitate readily with the water.— [The Grocer. _——— A SMART BET—It was a Boston newspa- iden, was bragging ratsor lousig-at Clay jen, w: ing ra ly at Hall last evening.
