A Family Poisoned,
IEATU OF A YOCNO LADY FIVE 0TUEB PEaONS
rKOSl'ilATE.
A whole family living in Westchester county
were recently poisoned. The particular?, as far
as we have them, are aa follows:
A lew dayh aso, tne family ot Uriah Tomp
kins, a Justice ol the peace of the town of Green
burg, Westchester county, alter partaking of a
meal at their house inTarrytown, became very
ill. with all the symptoms of arsenical poisou.
The tamily cousisted of Mr. Toropklus, his wife,
aud four children. The eldest of these, a daugh
ter of nineteen year of age, has since died; and
the others are in a very eiitical condition. One
or two of them, it is reported, will not be likely
to recover. Their fleh is horribly swollen, and
they are growing worse and weaker.
All the food that remained in the house was
sent to this city lor chemical examination, with
what result is not yet stated.
iso truces of the poison, and no fact3 in regard
to the manner or cause by which U was commu
nicated to the food, could be ascertained at the
house of Mr. Tompkins. Home persons believe
that criminals to whom the Justice had become
obnoxious were prompted to the deed by re
venge; but this is a mere suspicion. The facts
wilf doubtless be explained when the investiga
tions in regard to the icod are complete. JV. Y.

Tun ScnEMK fok Paytvo Off Tnt? National
DroT of Italy by mnins ot voluntary contribu
tions continues to make way. Numerous oilers
ate legistered every day by the Ontc'teaf the
Jh'ojlc, of Turin, but tit pnsent not a single
cron In actual ironcv has been called tor -a
more practical proposition Is expected before
that part ot th? work begins. Mod of the pro
mises are made by really solvent persons, but
there Is something rather ludicrous In anony
mous oilers, such as one recorded by a Kloreh
tnc correspondent of the lndrriviuWiice, "I -confirm
my oiler of 600,(100 francs. A Venetian
Kmitrnnt." This is simply itnposslole, seeing
tiiut mo one bo cjuM oiler suuli a sum would
be allowed to quit Venice.
Ti.'E Poi-r An Tnn Pimrni;T. A few day3 aeo
It was reported that Pius IX ha I prophesied
tnat he would have to leave Kjtno thisyoar,
return next vear, and die the following yenr. A
conespoiideht in Itome thinks th? Pope quite
cat able oi making ai.d uttering such a forecast.
No Pepe has ever completed thP twenty-third
year ot Ins Pontificate. If Pius IX should live
till 18i!!i he would do so. Hut as no Pope hss
ever dono so, he will not. Therefore he must
die in lw;8. but he has always talked of tredi
persecutions,' and about his being compelled to
h ave Koine once more. Again the Chnrch must
triumph. Therefore he must returt.. There will
be only time for all theso necessities by leaving
Kcme this year. Therefore, etc.
Tnn "Trucb op God." Dr. Manning has re
vived the singular niedlifval custom of the
"Truce of God," for the benefit ot the Irish
members of his flock. In view of the riots aud
excesspi which so frequently occur on St. Pat
rick's day, the Archb'shop proposes "a truco in
honor of tjt. Patrick." promising forty days' in
dulgence to all who accept this truco and keep
it. The ptomise is '-to abstain from intoxicating
liquors trom H o'clock on Friday evening, the
lidb. to 12 o'cloek on Sunday night, the I8ih of
MaTch, and oiler this act of mortification lor
the good ot my soul, and to avert the anger of
God so justly deserved on account of the sin of
Drunkenness."
The Murderer of Sixteen Women. The ex
amination of Philippe, the murderer of a
woman in the Rue do la Ville l'Bvcquc, Paris, is
now approaching its termination. Crime appears
to have been a monomania with him, and tho
inquiry hns brought to light not less than six
teen murders committed by him on women; of
these live were in Algeria,' three in Italy, and
eieht in rrauee. and all by cutting their throats
with a razor, lie displays a remarkable cyni
cism, and on first entering the office of tho ex
amining bidL-e expressed his astonishment that
he should not be permitted to smoke there.
TriB Cobpen Memobial. Tho Manchester
people have decided upon giving a very sensible
lorm to their memorial ot Mr. Cobden. After
dpvoting 2500 to a statue, they "propose to
endow the chair of political economy at Owen's
Collece with 1250, on condition of one weekly
lecture being delivered free to all pri.nary school
or pupil teachers residing in Manchester or S-il-tvrd.
The remainder of tho fund ot 4420 is to

students.
Railway Across ttir Andes. The construc
tion ot a railway trom tho Plate across tho Andes
to the Pacific Is believed likely to bo realised
within the next ten years. Already 210 miles of
the route are in course of rapid construction
Irom the port of Rosario, on the river Plate, to
the interior city of Cordova; and there can bo
little doubt that, with tho piogress of immigra
tion and settlement, this one will be steadily
extended.
Karl Beauciiamc By the death ot the Earl
of lieauchamp, the Hon. V. Lygon Is raised to
the House ol Lord", where he will sit as the

years of age. and his only brother, w'ho succeeds
