FAMILY POISONED. —Two weeks ago our
community was shocked with the report that
a family of seven persons were poisoned by
eating of food said to contain tartar emetic
and arsenic. The natural presumption, from
the facts that could be then elicited, was that
the poison had been nsed in a mistake. All
the members recovered except Mr. John
Young, ar.d he, for a time was considered
out of danger, and had the dose not been re
peated would now be living and well. But
horrible to relate, Mr. Young grew suddenly
worse, and on Friday morning last, about oue
o'clock, after suffering the most intense and
excruciating pain, died.
Thn matter of his death was freely discuss
ed by all who heard of the sad calamity, and
towards evening the community seemed to be
excited in the highest degree, and as the phy
sicians assured us, his death was caused by
arsenic, the public cried aloud for an inves
tigation. The family would not agree to this
but were violently opposed to it, and at one
time ; .i was feared the unfortunate man would
be consigned to the tomb as though he had
died a natural death.
On Saturday morning the Coroner sum
moned a jury, and, in company with Drs.
Lant is, Smith, Roller and Hays, proceeded
to the home of the deceased for the purpose
of thoroughly investigating the facts in the
case. The doctors made a post mortem ex
am i lAtion. and took possession of the stom
ach The facts elicited by the Coroner were
in substance as follows : Mr. Young sent for
arsenic for the purpose of killing rats ; three
papers were bought, and the package placed
in the drawer of a bureau in Mr. Young's
room. The package was never touched until
after the fir.-t poisoning, when it was burned.
The cakes were supposed to have been poi
soned by what was in a bottle of cream of
tartar : the contents of this bottle were de
stroyed in the presence of Dr. Smith. All
the family recovered from the "'cake poison
ing. Mr. Young took a relapse : his symp
toms indicated a fresh dose of poison ; he
began again to recover, and again took se
verely ill for the third and last time. During
his illness Mrs. Y'oung nursed him and pre
pared his food herself, but she seemed to
know of no poison having been administered.
One of the daughters tetified that the arse
nic was burned on Tuesday of last week, and
that it burned up with a blue blaze, and had
a sulphery smell : the other daughter stated
that it was destroyed previous to Sunday and
that it burned with a clear blaze and had no
smell. Dr. Smith testified that from the symp
toms of his illness, Mr. Y'oung had received
several doses of poison, aud the poison was
arsenic. The jury rendered a verdict that
"John Young came to his death by poison,
administered by a person or persons to the
jury unknown.
P. S. Information was made against Mrs.
Y'oung and her oldest daughter Maria, on
Monday, and on Tuesday morning they were
arrested and committed to answer.—Holli

WOMAN'S WORK IN THE CMR WAR.—Pre
pared under the approval ol the Sanitary
and Christian Commissions, Philadelphia:
/.eigler, McCurdy A Co.
Among the numerous publications relating
to the late war, there is none that can claim
a higher place in the public esteem than such
as set forth "Woman's Work" in the event
ful times. The publication before us fills this
niche in the history of the Rebellion. It
commemorates the labors and sufferings, and
above all the noble characters of those true
women who brought so much of care, and
love, and charity into the terrible arena of
strife. Without the kindly ministrations of
female hands the toils, privations and afflic
tions of our soldiers had been greatly enhan
ced; and the memory of these noble heroines
deserves a bright page in history. The book
just published by Messrs. Zeigler, McCurdy
A Co., is one of the handsomest we have seen
for some time; it is finely printed, richly il
lustrated with well-executed likenesses of
many of its characters, and is elegantly
bound. Everybody should have it. See ad
vertisement "Agents Wanted."

Ax unsatisfactory feeling prevails in Eng
liah trade circles, amounting to gencal dis
trust. Dealers and capitalists are timid, hav
ing had their resources in some instances se
riously impaired; and this knowledge, says
the London Xetcs, combined with the general
slackness of business, and with the difficulty
of effecting sales of goods, both at home and
abroad, probably explains ip some measure
the vague rumors now prevailing of mercan
tile difficulties in the home, foreign aud colo
nial trades.
THE Jackson (Mississippi) Clarion assures
us of the gratifying truth—though deeply re
gretting it—that "the fact is 100 manifest to
be denied, and too important to be disregard
ed, that the Republican Party is rapidly ex
tending its ramifications throughout the
Southern States. In all of these States initial
movements, more or less formidable, are on
foot for forming a compact party to co-oper
ate with that organization. It is a part of the
matured scheme of the leaders of that party
to maintain its ascendancy, aud they have
seized the opportunity afforded by the intro
duction of the new clause into the elective
franchise.
A LATE London letter speaking of the mise
ries of Eugland, in connection with a rccen t
.arge gathering of destitute people, says;
•'The question at \\ estminster was how to
dispose of a few millions of surplus revenue
—that at the East End was how to get bread
for 40,000 idle and famishing people. A
procession of four or five thousand ragged
wretches gathered from Poplar, Bethnell
Green and Wapping, and preceded by a mel
ancholy fife and drum, marched through the
city and the Strand to the palaces of Pall
Mall. They were very quiet, pale, ragged, a
miserable company forced to be idle and
compelled to beg. A contnouucn box was
carried along each sidewalk. Hut voluntary
contributions on such a scale were hopeless.
After a few months people get tired of giving.
London is too large. The great hive needs
to swarm. The parishes are beggated to
support their poor. What is wanted is to
take these forty thousaud people up bodily,
and transfer them to Canada or Austria —to
South Africa—to any place where soil and
sunshine will provide them food. They can
not move themselves. Their clothes and
tools are at the pawn brokers, their furniture
sold to the last stitch."

Strength for the Exhausted.
Thousands die, as it were, inch by inch, of bodi
ly weakress: for debility will kill as certainly,
though not so quickly, as a raging fever. Is it '
asked how ".he weak shall be made strong; the
debilitated sustaihed and restored: the exhausted
refilled with vital energy.' We aver that of all
invigorating preparations given by science to man,
from the institution of the art of healing to the
present hour, not one has wrought such wonders
in the way of restoration as HOSTETTER'S CEL
EBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. This is in
deed the tonic of tonics. As a revitalizing,
strength-supporting, life prolonging agent, the
like of it is not to lie found in 'he catalogue of
medicines. Among the various articles used to
arouso the dormant powers of nature, it stands
alone—the great awakener of the paralyzed phys
ique. It not only awakens the physical powers
from a state of collapse and inanition, but it im
parts permanent vigor to the muscular and ner
vous systems—reinforcing, as it were, both the
stronghold and tb - ontworks of vitality. The
aged, the decrepit, the nervous, the broken down
of both sexes, are recojmu nded tu try it. They
will assuredly find it a prrs-ut help in time of
trouble.

Dr. Schenck's Mandrake Pills.--A Sub
stitute for Calomel.
These Pills are composed of various roots, hav
ing the power to relax the secretions of the liver
as promptly and ellectually as blue pill or mercu
ry, and without producing any of those disagree
able or dangerous effects which often follow the
use of the latter.
In all billious disorders these Pills may be used
with confidence, as they promote the discharge of
vitiated bile, and remove those obstructions from
the liver and biliary duets, which are the cause
of billious affections in general.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS cure Sick
Headu .'he. and all disorders of the Liver, indica
ted by sallow skin, coated tongue, costiveness,
drowsiness, and a general feeling of weariness nnd
lassitude, showing that the liver is in a torpid or
obstructed condition.
In short, these Piils may be used with advan
tage in all cases when a purgative or alterative
medkiue is required.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor, one wheu in the last
stage of Consumption, and the other as he now is
in perfect health, are on Government stamp.
