OtiDI PENROSE, Editou. V, UTAH. Wednesday Morning, March S, 1871. More on the Oilier SMc. short time since we took occasion tosy a little about the negligence of A .the public iu regard to mailing letters, allowing how the blame which in laid on (he postmasters, frequently belongs properly to the people who neglect to omply with the Pont Office regulations. y we refer to the subject again. Many of the complaints which have been Dinde about postal irregularities, have coiue from Cache and Rich Counties. If the subject is properly investigated it will be seen that some blame lies at the door of Postmasters in the North when it is charged against officials in other places. As a case in point, we are informed s that on Saturdny last, about of the letters which came to Brigham City from Cache County were unsorted, and on the previous Wedneaduy there were 436 letters lying loose in the sack, oontrary to the printed regulations furnished to Postmasters, which requires them to sort the mail, enclose the letters for different offices in proper wrapping paper, and tie each parcel separately with twine. It is impossible for the Fo'stina.stcr at Brigham City to do all the sorting which should be done by ethers, and equally so for the route agent on the train, consequently many letters are delayed and missent through Uie negligence of the very persons who Utter the loudest complaints. To assist in securing regularity in the distribution and forwarding of the mails, we give the following directions, whbh it is desirable that the Cache and Rich County Postmaster should To-da- two-third- ' follow. Mails for Davis County, Salt Lake ity, and south of Salt Lake City, should be made up together and addressed Brigham City. S. P. O. Thnsn for the North and West should be made op together and addressed Route Agent, C. P. K. R. West. Those for tho East, to Route Agent, C. P. R. It., East, and those for Weber County, to Ogden City, S. P. 0. Each parcel should be wrapped in strong paper, tied with twine, and addressed as described. Attention to this will materially aid in facilitating the postal business. In the Post Office li?t published in this issue of the Jcsctios w ill be tfeen rhe address of a number of letters which are held for postage. In spite of all tfiat is sbid and written on this matter, people continue to mail letters to all parts of the country without tho proper stamps. Two-cenone cent and canceled stamps are of no use on letters for transmission. A one-cestamp is saffioient for a drop letter, that is, a letter addressed to a person in the samo town where the letter is posted, but others unist, in all cases, bear a three- nt stamp for every half ounoe in weight. If the Presidents of Districts would give the people some instruction en this matter, they would be the means of saving both the Tosi Office officials und the people themselves much trouble and mortification. . t, The consumption of sugar isun the increase. Statistics published in the that in Europe Union and AMerkan and the United States 174,000,000 lbs. more sugar was consumed in 1870 than in lH'i'J. The increase in the United Slates alone for the same year was 20,000,000 lbs.,' the total consumption for the year being 802,000,000. or about 21 pounds jkt head. The home pi n.luction of this necessary article fVils very Ur below the dem iud, and "tlio consistence is that I?.30,000,0(0 annually are sent abroad for an article that wiili pruper management could be raised in sullicient quantities" to dispense with importations. The consumption of sugar in Utah has increased in a greater ratio during the past few years than in other parts of the Union. Since the completion of the Railroad (he price of sugar has been greatly reduced, and the habits of the people have been modified and in families where sugar was once a luxury seldom indulged in, it is now considered a necsssity. A very large sura of money is therefore sent eut of the Territory every year for sweetening. If sugar could be manufactured at home, a great portion of this amount would bo saved for home circulation. We are happy to say that a process has recently been discovered by which the syrup which is extensively manufactured from sorghum in this Territory, can be converted into sugar. Win. D. Hancock, of Lebanon, Teun., is engaged in the manufacture of sugan from sorghum, and states that he cau realize a handsome profit at eight cents a pound. The process has been patented by Messrs. Weller & Hatcher, but tho Union and American says that aoy information desired on the subject can be obtained from Mr. Hancock as above. This is a matter deserving tho consideration of our enterprising farmers and business men. This is a splendid country for sorghum, and if sugar can bo made from it in other places, why not in Utah ! And if fortunes are to be boiled out of syrup, who will step forward and , grasp the prize ? the Scientific American as a test that all persons may use with safety and satisfaction. The taking of the Fpecific is worthless, because the adulteration by the lighter naphtha can be disguished by the addition of a heavy oil. The color and odor are also not to be relied upon. The only reliable test is the temperature of thefiasliiug point; that is the temperature at which the petroleum takes tire when a burning match is applied to its surface. The test can easily be applied. Into a a flat dish or saucer pour the oil to be tried, until it is at least half an inch deep ; then hold a burning match or taper near the surface. At the point of contact the combustion is often very lively, as the taper draws up some of the liquid, but if the petroleum be safe and free from nnptha, the flame does not spread over the surface. If the petroleum has been adulterated, as soon as the match touches the surface a blue lambent flume flashes across it, and in a few minutes the body of the oil will be on fire. Such an oil is dangerous liable to explode in lamps and to give off inflammable vapors at all times. Any oil which takes fire when a match is held near its surface and continues to burn ought to be condemned at once and thrown into the street. We lay some stress upon this experiment, because we have actually seen a country merchant pour petoleum into a saucer and ignite it iu this way as a proof it was not dangerous. We have no prejudices for or against any particular oil or fluid now in use, but we considerjt our duty to warn the public against burning any liquid in their houses which is of an explosive character, and thus exposing their families and their property to imminentdan-ger- .
