The Great Poisoning Cass in England
The case of Palmer, the English poisoner, oc,
cupies columns in several of the leading Lon.
don journals. Tie inquiry into the death of
Mrs. Ann Palmer, the wife of the accused, re-
suited in verdict of s0igful murder. The
chemical analysis of her stomach proved that
she had been poisoned. The verdict in the
case of Mr. Walter Palmer, the brother of the
accused, had not been rendered. The prisoner
was noted as great sporting man. His racing
stud was sold on the 18th ultimo, and realized
upwards of $l7,5O0 Prince Albert bought
one of the mares forSl22O.

A Good One.

We like good joke, even if it hits US or our
party, and therefore give place TO the follow
ing yarn gotten up BY the Columbus CO.,
Fact, fanciful though it may appear:
A political story was told in our hearing the
other evening, by an old Whig, which we do
not remember ever having seen in print. On
course we do not youch for its truth in every
particular:
A few years since party of very distingue
Southern planters, two Of whom were Demo
Gratis and onea Wing, being on visit to the
North, were invited about electinn time to
dine at the house Of wealthy, aristocratic, and
withal very beautiful lady in southern Ohio
After being seated at The table, which was
luxuriantly spread with all the delicacies which
wealth could command, large, burIy negro
came in and seated himself directly opposite
the gentlemen al table.
The gentlemen were too well bred to notice
the intruder At the time, but Immediately upon
his retirement from The room, one Of them re.
marked to the LADY,
What could have induced ron to insult MS
by the presence Of a negro At your tables"
sWhy, gentlemen, he Is my husbandn replied
tie lady.

sent winter. Many of the scholars in the rage

2 o'clock P. NJ and their days meal then cono
sists of two very thin slices of bread. The
