MICHIGAN. --A most horrible affair
occurred rear Lansing recently, the
circumstances Of which the Expoun-
der of that place relates as follows:
"A man named Jenny, who resided
alone, having no family, died sudden
ly In May last. There was strong
reason to believe he was poisoned,
but suspicion rested upon no one in
particular. A few weeks ago q re-
vival Of religion took place In the
neighborhood. and n young man be-
came conscience stricken and con-
fessed the murder! He also impli-
Gated his ovid father. He says bis
father directed him to purchase ar
senic, and gave him the money one
day when Jenny was from home, the
Spinnings went to Jenney's house,
and while the father kept watch out
side, the son went in and sprinkled the
arsenic on all the food he could find.
Jenny took sick a few days after and
died. The young man further stated,
that his father had previously pro-
posed to him to murder Mr.. Jenny in
another manner, but from the enor-
nifty of the proposed plan, he had re-
fused. It appeared also that a most
bitter quarrel had for a long time ex-
listed between the elder Spinning and
Mr.. Jenny. The Spinnings were
committed to await the action of the
county court in the present month";

had been over about q half hour. a
a fire broke out in that large frame
building, which entirely consumed it,
and rapidly extended TO the remain
ing houses on the block with the

among them n coffee house. The
market-heuse. in close neighborhood,

the city. The great number of frame
houses in the corporation renders
fires there more destructive and ex-
~tensive than would otherwise be the
