that it is his. He bands in bis ndver

Another man asks you to send him

A I'oisoiiing Case.
Wejcopy the following condensed
account of a poisoning case, that re
cently happened in Cl.ailes on S C.,
from :he (Janesville Eagle.
A liorr: 1 Io ease poisoning occur
red in Charleston last week, in the
family ol the late Judge Graham, of
that citv
Miss Lizzie Graham, the oldest un
mairied daughter, a 'ed 18, and tier
bro: her, Hged 16 had been on r. visit
to North Carolina, and returning
home, accompanied by Miss McCall,
whom tiiey had been visiting, brought
with them a basket of delicacies, in
cluding several masted chicKen*, sent
try Mrs. M< Call to Mrs. Graham
Alter reaching Charleston, 'hose men
tioned, and a Mrs. Ford who had
j <iiied *.hein, and a servaut girl, par
took ..f the lunch, and the next morn
ing all those who had eaten the
chicken wem quite sick. Miss Lizzie
and the servant died, and post mor
tem examination of the latter showed
that slip had taken a strong" mineral
position. The others) who had parta
ken of the chicken weie not expected
to recover.
It is tin ugl.t that the chickens had
: tueu seasoned with some salt, { ,fr. tn a
cargr that was by some means mixed
with arseuic that was also in the ves
sel
Since the above was’in type, we gee
that no other of the poisoned lias
died. There are ten affee'ed. Mrs.
McCall, who furnished the chickens,
lias arrived in Charleston, and says
that she prepared sixteen
eight of which she sent to Mrs. Gra
ham, and the other eight were eaten
at her house, and none of Her family
were affected by them. Huspioiun
has fallen upon parties whose names
are with-held for prudential reasons

An adveature of a'singular diamet
er happetp and to ajcitizon'of Plymouth
Mass,, a few days since. Mr. I). Fin
ney, with his neighb >r, Ancellßar Dtt,
weresofi Guuner’s Point, South Plym
outh, oootj shooting. They j were in
separate dcuies, as far'apart as boats
usually are in that sport, when a
humpback whale rose some di.-tar.ce
off and spouted. He rose again naar
ar t tho boat, and Mr. Finr.eyjthought,
by the tliiec ion lie was" taking, that
the :.ext tim’!in’came up he would
come ahead of the boat, end be would
give him a shut. While waiting for
him to coma up, kneeling in the bot
tom of the dory, he folt*a“shr,ck, and,
n he expresses it, found himself on
thejwhale’s back dry shod. The next
thing he knew he wont down ar.d
c. nie up on the oilier side of the boat.
Probably the’whale sank when he
found he had a rider, und drew the
man with h'm. When he came up he
was near Mr. Bartlett’s dory, and was
taken into his boat. Throughout the
whole be haddiehl.'on to his gun, and
brought it on board with him.

Olaii ome F. Jackson, n native of
Kentucky, was once governor of the
state of Missouri He joined the
►outheriP confederacy, and died dur
ing his 'eim a' a faint l ouse opposite
the itv of Littio K ick, among stran
ger®, with no of atiection
npur to soothe-his pain and rob hi*
death tori of half its anguish. The
most remailiable Set connected with
Ins lif* is perhaps the statement that
tie c airied five sisters in one of the
most respectable, wealthy snd disting
uished families in the state; that as
soon its one wife w< uld die he would
niairy her sister in a leusonaltle time.
Of course, some of them were widows
when ho tnanied them. In connec
tion with tlte nmiiages there was a
standing joke told at the expense of
the governor, #lt ch was that when he
went to Hsk the old gontl* man’s con
gent to tnairy the last one, the venera
ble father is reported to have said:
“Yes, CUih, you car; have her. You
have got them alh For go-dne*s

shouted, and began firing. Schaler

The community was yesterday
thrown into a fevered excitement by
the report that there had been auotli

but fortunately, so tur as we we.e
able to learn, there is no great danger
of the fatal termination of nny of the
cases affecred, although tune a.e col
out of danger.
Tho facts, as we were able to gather
them 'a*e yesterday evening, ate that
in the family of Mr. James Seymour,
there had been made some ic>* cream,

was sen' to ihe lami'y ol Mrs- E l’.ice,

the family, Miss Price, ale of it and
fortunately she ate very spaiingy;

An Unnatcual Sex.—A case was
tried a fw days ago in Hamilton
which, for the c edit of human na
ture, has comparatively few parn'luls
in our criminal records. It was King
Lour on a humble scale. A wretched
sin, claiming to be one jf the yeoman
ry of Canada, was prosecuted for ali
ment by bis aged and unhappy father,
whom, with his iqually infirm but not
quite so aged mother, this unnatural
lad was accused of feeding liter. Ily on
hiead and water, with out a sednt al
lowance even of these prime necessi
ties. Tho old coup e had surrendered
their nil to this son, no doubt with
the idea lie would he happy to minis
ter to their ncressities doling the shott
time they could survive, ami that un
der his care they wou and want for noth
ing which hie means coold supply.—
T ey made a grevious mistake. The
poor oLi man of tom-si ore found 111
his lowliness what Liar found in his
granduor that it is a foolish thing
for any one to put off his shoes tie foe
ho is ready to go to bed, and that the
failiei who bauds over u'l bis proper
ty to bis son in unreasoning confi
dence that a 1 will be right often finds
ample time to discover bis mistake
and to rue his fol'y.— Toronto Globe.

The mercliant*coi.nted it out and han

•‘What’s this?”
“it’s my currency,” said the mer

“Wa l , tain’t good for'nothing where
I live,” siid the farmer.
"Very well,” replied the merchant,
“keep it until you gel a dollar’s worth,
and bring it to niy store, and I will
give you a dollar hill for it.”
The’ farmer pocketed 'the change
and departed.
A few Weeks nfter ho went into the
