Il .Nonstcr. The London Times of the
9th ult., gives an account of a woman by
the name Of Sarah Cheesman. who was
to be executed for crimes unparalleled in
atrocity. She was tried at the assizes Of
l847 for poisoning two children, and ac-
quilted, short time afterwards; she was
again placed in prison, ON charge Of a
like nature, but again pronounced guilt
less. On the present occasion she was
indicted for the murder Of her husband,
and a verdict has at length been obtained
against her. The woman has thus led
notorious and almost public career for
upwards of four years. The incidents first
referred 10, occurred in 1916, and stree
that time she has poisoned no less than
thirty persons! She carried about lozen-
ges, or suckers" which she slipped in
TO the mouths Of children at play. The
murder Of her husband was acc mpllshed
in manner almost too terrible to think Of
She put her arsenic into bag of rice, and
mixed mp The whole with such care that
every single grain of rice was saturated
with as much poison as it would take
She then gave it TO her husband a, inter-
walls, and in small doses, consuming him
by slow fortunes. and leaving him at last
after six months suffering, with so little
arsenic in his body tina, its presence was
scarcely discoverable to the most search
ing tests of chemistry.

A Graceless Grace.-A scamp who
used to raise particular purgatory about
Middlebury College, had taken shine
to the daughter Of staid old deacon, who
used frequently to invite him to dinner.
The deacon called upon him one day to
ask the customary blessing, and not wish
ing to have it understood that there was
any one thing that he could not do, he
made the effort. Hastily recollecting all
he could Of the usual form, he began and
made an excellent start of it, bat could
not think for his life, how to close it off
1t was easier to 60 on than stop. Finally,
making desperate dash. he closed thus:
'In conclusion, my dear sir, remain tru-
~ very respectfully your obedient SER
want He has not dined with the dea-
con since.

Death of Gen. Bradv.-This brave off

Death of Gen. Brady.-This brave Off
Ger, who was thrown from his carriage
while riding near Detroit, some time
since, died from the effects Of the injuries
received at that city. on the 10th inst.
Gen. Brady was 80 years Of age, and
received his commission from Washing
ton.
He served with Wayne in his Indian
campaign, after the defeat Of Gen. ST.
Clair; after which he retired from active
service, for time, and returned to it a
gain in 1903, when he received commits.
sion from Mr.. Jefferson. He distin-
gui.hed himself at Lundy's Lane, in the
war OF 1912, and was in active service
through that war, during which he receiv-
ed the commission Of Colonel Of the 22d
Regiment Of Infantry.
The Iora Riuer.-One day last week
our citizens were gratified with the sight
of Sc. eral boats, laden with Il ur, &c., ON
their way towards the Mississippi-thcy
were built and cargoed at Cedar Rapids,
in Linn county. Now it does appear
strange to us, when flat-boats heavily
freighed can find their way out of one Of
the tributaries of the Iowa, into said river
and thence into the Mississippi, we can
not be blessed with the sight Of small
class steamer at our place every week, al
least. Why, there is any quantity Of
freight here just waiting to be shipped, il
a boat would only give us call; and then
as we said before, if Aat-boats heavily
freighted can run out, what is to prevent
small steamers from plying regularly be-
tween here and Burlington, or some 9TH
er point on the Mississippi. The river
at this time is at about its lowest stage, and
yet those boats appeared get along with
nut much trouble. Co. Times.

u A most wonderful piece of linen
has been woven for the Worlds Exhibi-
ton, in the north of Ireland, near War
rington, by weaver named George Had
dock. 1t is a web of fine cambria hand
kerchief. Small print can be read
through it. and yet the web is so close and
compact that single thread could not be
distinguished without the aid of micro
scpe, or rather web-glass. The cambria,
when held up to the light, looks like a
fine and airy fabric. In the production
of this beautiful gossamer looking cam
brio, Mr.. Haddock, almost realized what
classic fiction ascribed to the performance
Of Arachine, who as mythologists inform
us, was converted INTO spider, on account
Of equalizing that ingenious little architect
in her production Of fine webs.

THE CIScISNATI FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE
We referred yesterday to the arrest OF coored
man by our city watchmen. We have since seen
the individual who was apprehended as a" Fugi-
tive and locked in one of the cells OF the watch
house. The history of this affair is some what
singular, and may be interesting to our readers.
We yesterday saw the apprehended fugitive.
and found it to be the barber, Hamilton jackson,
of Walnut st. He lives at the corner OF New and
Broadway. On Sunday night last man, who
gave his name as Chas Hooker, found Jackson
near his own house and inquired Of him, after
some circsmlocutory proceedings, where the
watchmen were. Jackson showed Hooker the
Ninth Ward watch, when Hooker ordered them
to arrest Jackson as runaway slave from his
father
Jackson was accordingly taken into custody.
and. marched to the Mayors office, all the slmo
surprising it was all Joke and that the parties
knew him. At the Mayors office the Chief OF
Police and the officers were acting in good faith.
and even sent to Mayor Spencers house for his
honor. Jackson was put into cell and locked
In He had been there some time when DO be.
gan to think the joke had lasted long enough, and
asked TO be let out, but was then informed that
the proceedings were in earnest and that be was
really imprisoned at the instigation OF Hooker.
and by affidavit by him, held as fugitive" This
was rather a serious matter for Jackson STILL he
knew that he could establish his freedom, as hun
dreds had known him here for ten years or more.
and there were persons here Also who knew him
when a child in Chlllicothe.
The Fourth Ward Watchmen came in during
the night and seeing Jackson confined there and
knowing him well, had him released. The officers
are now after Hooker, but he is not to be found
We presume there are few men of color better
known here than Hamilton Jackson. From
what we have heard, we think that this Hooker
is a Northern man endeavoring to extort money
and as big villain as rans unhung, and is endeav.
Oring to hook "niggers in by false swearing and
effrontery, but he may be caught by hook Of ths
law without swallowing bait. tCin. Com.
