Ina large number ot whisky analyses, made during the past year, we have not been able to detect, in a single instance, the presence of the least trace of strychnine, and we have not been able to ascertain from Lavy reliable souree that the practice of using strychnine in whisky is ever followed. The fact, also, that one part of strychnine will impart asensible bitterness to 600,000 parts of water,, would seem to preclude its being used for this purpose.

It _Foretan vs. Domestic Grapes.—The California Culturist for October, in an article on the State Fair of 1860, has the following, which is of interest to parties wishing to plant . vineyards: Hopes have sometimes been entertained that there were varieties of foreign grapes which could be introduced to open field culture, which would be better adapted to winemaking than the California grape, and this year’s exhibit of wine, made from foreign sorts fully confirms tiat expectation; while the display, side by side, convinces the most dubious that the nchest and most highly prized European grapes, excel all Ameniean or the Calfornia variety on all localities and.under the same treatment. This fact, sofully established by the large exhibit of grapes from so many localities,is worth alone to California vastly more than the cost of the State Fair, as it enablea persons, intending to plint vineyards, to invest their means understandingly, and in sucha manner as to result advantageously afterwards. ail —p “Is THe SUN GROWING CoLp AND Dark? There are now more spots on the sun than have been agen before for many years ; some of these are visible through a smoked glass to the naked eye. Several stars — some of them of great brillianey, which, frora their ascertained distance — must have been as large us our sun—have totally disappeared fromthe sky; and the question has been raised among astronomers, whether the light and heat of the sun are gradually fading away. As this would be accompanied «by the destruction ofall the plants and animals on the earth, it is rather an interesting question. The sun’s lightand heat are diminished . by the dark spots at the present time about Kyper ceut.—Scientific American. “ STATE REFORM SCHOOL.—We have been shown a letter says the Alta, from J. C. Pelton, Esq., under date of September 19th, in which he states that he was to start at once for St. Louis, and thence overland for Califoruia.

A New way To MAKE A Levy.—Levi Grabbit Tesides,in and owns the only saddlery shop in the town of p— California, Be‘ing deficient in the art of reading aud writing, his more fortunate wife was, entrusted with keeping and mzking out his aceounts. One day, Samuel Thompson, reputed to be rich in the world’s goods, ¢ called on Levi and purchased a seventy-five dollar saddle, to be paid for at the expiration of one month. One, two, three months rolled by, and Samuel was not forthcoming; so Levi concluded to take the lawn his hands: He had often heard of sheriffs and constables levying fur debt, but did not exactly understand how. He knew that Samuel had a wateh, which was being repaired ut the watchmaker’s ; so he goes to-his wife and ordered Samuel Thompson's account to be made out. . Levi then walked around to the watchmaker's,and the following conversation ensued : “I believe,” said Levi, “Samuel Thompson Kas a watch here.” “Yes sir” reptied the watehmaker. “Can I examine it,” said . Levi. The watchmaker, without replying, handed the watch from the rack, when Levi grabbed hold of it sind. slapped his account on it and said, ‘I levy thisaéceunt on this watch, and you tell Samuel ‘Thompson that I have him ‘now, with the law . to back me ;’*" and .off he walked, ‘the watchmaker crying, “Hold én brother Levi, the constable was just one hour ahead of you. N. Saal GREAT CONFLAGRATION.—Late advices from Asiatic Turkey announce that a terrible disaster by fire had ‘befallen the city of Smyrna,,on the 27th August. The quarter of the town known as St. Dimitri ‘was laid in ashes.” Over seven hundred houses were consumed and many gardens burned over. The weather had been for some time excessively hot, which rendered all inflamable inateriils an easy prey to the flames, whieh spread with terrible rapidity. The residents of the ill fated locality were nearly all Greeks, and were chiefly day workers at different trades. ‘The cause of the disaster was purely accidental. It is said a woman had lit a fire in honor of the Virgin, and having left it burning, it caused the fire. anil LIFE IMpRISONMENT.—There are sixtyfour inmates of the Ohio State Prison, at Columbus, under sentence for life, one of “whom has been confined twenty-four years, nine others more than ten years, ete. Ot these, ten are hopelessly insane, others are on the last verge of insanity, and the tendency of nearly all is to monomania and despair —tucts calculated to aspire the belief that life-sentences ure by no means cheeriul punishinent. “ eee ARTIFICIAL LEATHER —Cushman & Co., in Amherst, Mass., are manufacturing about fifteen hundred pedads of artificial leather of-rope. It has New Englind, yet the demand is reported to be yreater than the supply. The process ot making is similur to that of manufacturing paper. i PAINLESS DentTistRy.—Mr. Richardson communicates to the Londen Lancet a new mode which he has discovered for extracting teeth without pain. It consists in immersing the «ffected part in cloroforin, which is done by filling alittle cup half full of cotton wool, siturated with chloroform, and placing it over the tooth. It ‘takes from seven to fifteen minutes to produce the effect. For Justice of the Peace. ker We have been authorized to announce the name of GEORGE 8S. 8S.

It _Foretan vs. Domestic Grapes.—The California Culturist for October, in an article on the State Fair of 1860, has the following, which is of interest to parties wishing to plant . vineyards: Hopes have sometimes been entertained that there were varieties of foreign grapes which could be introduced to open field culture, which would be better adapted to winemaking than the California grape, and this year’s exhibit of wine, made from foreign sorts fully confirms tiat expectation; while the display, side by side, convinces the most dubious that the nchest and most highly prized European grapes, excel all Ameniean or the Calfornia variety on all localities and.under the same treatment. This fact, sofully established by the large exhibit of grapes from so many localities,is worth alone to California vastly more than the cost of the State Fair, as it enablea persons, intending to plint vineyards, to invest their means understandingly, and in sucha manner as to result advantageously afterwards. ail —p “Is THe SUN GROWING CoLp AND Dark? There are now more spots on the sun than have been agen before for many years ; some of these are visible through a smoked glass to the naked eye. Several stars — some of them of great brillianey, which, frora their ascertained distance — must have been as large us our sun—have totally disappeared fromthe sky; and the question has been raised among astronomers, whether the light and heat of the sun are gradually fading away.. As this would be accompanied «by the destruction ofall the plants and animals on the earth, it is rather an interesting question.
