Centennial Ann i veusary.— The flitizeua of Western Pennsylvania are (ma king enteneivo arrangements to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the capture of Ft. Duquesnc. This .Fort was the principle one. of a line established by the French, between Canada and Louisiana, and designed to cherk the colonics and confine their dominion to the Eastern slope of the Allegheny Mountains. It was captured by Col. (afterwards General) Washington on the 25th day of Novem berj 1758. 'This was an event of great importance, to the people of this country as it proved the ; overthrow of the French and the caxaldlahWat ..of the Anglo-Saxon dominion in the Valley of the Ohio. Mil itary companies, civic, literary, and ben evolent associations and the various de partments of industry are invited to join in the celebration, which is to (terminate in the Duqaesne Depot of the Pennsylva nia Bail Bead, erected on the site of the old Fort.

She then plaoed the babies in the. crib, and paid no particular attention to them for some time. ’ Their, unusual quietness attracted her attention, and shfe observed a langor and extreme drowsiness, which greatly alarmed her. She fled for a neighbor woman, who immediate ly began i to inquire what she had' given the children. The woman replied that it was par egoric, and upon turning to the phial, she was horrified, at finding the paregoric and ■ laudanum phials side by sidei She then remembered that: she had placed the laudanum; there after having applied some of it to her'Augers which she had burnt the same day. An examination convinc ed her that she bad given her babes laudanum instead of jjarcgoric, and she cried out in tho agony of despair, that she had poisoned her dar ling babes. Dr. Perchment was summoned, but owing to the length of time which had elapsed, and the large quantity of the drug administered, (about twenty-five drops each) he at once pro nounced their case as utterly hopeless.' Every means were resorted to, in order to keep the little sufferers awake—shaking, punch ing them, and such like inflictions. They were thus prevented from passing into the catamose state, but violent spasms supervened, apd they continue*! to suffer in this way until Sabbath morning, they gradually fell into a lethar gy, in which condition they remained until evening. The bruin of one of them became af fected very much, and it lay motionless, as if in death, with its'eyes open. The other rested ap parently, with the eyes closed, as in sleep.— This may be accounted for from the fact that one of them, soon after the accident, was sub jected to a warm bath, whilst the other was put into a. cooling bath. When the physician found them, the poison had taken such a hold upon the system, that the stomach pump was not ap plied- The distress of the family is painful in the ex treme, and the mother is almost deranged,, hur russed as she is between hope and despair, ' We cannot refrain from alluding, however painful it may be, to the gross recklessness so frequently displayed on the part of mothers, in administering medicine to children. The un fortunate mother is not to bo censured in this case, ns it was purely accidental. But she was totally ignorant of the properties of paregoric, or she would not have attempted to guess at u dose of fifteen drops, which was all that she in tended to give. According to her measurement, she actually gave twenty-five drops. Even that quantity of paregoric would have Lad a most mischievous effect upon those infants, to say the least of it. The same deadly narcotic, (opium) predominates in both these medicines, the difference being only in degree : and they should never be administered unless under the sanction of a physician—and then in exact ac l cqrdancc, with, his directions. Better far to put up with crying and peevishness in children, than to drug them incessantly, even under ad vice of a doctor. In nine cases out of ten, the relief is but temporary, and they are drugged to their subsequent injury.— Pitts. Press. P. S, At last accounts, the children were slowly recovering. - Another “ Fast” Young jiaa a Murderer. The Cincinnati Gazette gives the particulars of a murder committed in that city on Saturday evening by a son.of a wealthy citizen of Cin cinnati. x Three young men sons of wealthy and prominent business men—named Charles Cook, son of the elder member of the firm of Cook, Adams & ilo., lumber dealers : William Seiter, son of Geo. Seiter, .baker, and Win, Swift, son of the firm of Pendleton, Swift & Co., dry goods merchants, visited a homp of ill-repute. Sell er got into an altercation Villi a woman named Kate Benreau and knocked tho woman down a number of times, beating and kicking her bru tally, Cook took part in tbe affair and also knocked the worn,an down, finally drawing a knife and stabbing her horribly. The scene then is described by the Gazelle thus: The wounded woman, who was covered with blood, lived perhaps twenty minutes. ■ After the fiital blow was struck!, she raised herself partially from the floor by one elbow upon a lounge, and called for a glass of water, which, with a spasmodic effort, she threw into her mouth, and then, with an oath, exclaimed to Cook. *• You have stabbed me.” A minute af ter. onti of the girls bent over Kate, and told her she could not livo, and she advised her to pray. The gin stained courtezan, in. that hour of blood could realize the necessity of prayer*— of asking forglvness for the manifold transgres sions of her erring sister, whose spirit was rap. idly passing to its filial account! And the vic tim of “the liberty of the knife” did pray— while the gapping .wound in her side gave ut terance to a breathing sound with every word that was uttered 1 She prayed for herself, for her husband and child, and sank into the arms of death with the prayer still upon her lips. What a scene for a brothel! The young men were arrested, and the mur der has created intense excitement.

After obtaining considerable assistance, how ( ever, tho men succeeded in raising the cofiin j from the tomb.
