and the value Of it is beyond calculation
in its results.
Finally, my friends, we believe these
annual celebrations are of much profit to
US. They seem as resting places in the
great journey of Life, where we can stop
to review the ground over which we travel
led, and take a moments reflection before
we make another leap into the uncertain
future. Here friend meets friend with
smiles of appreciation, thereby strengthen
ing the bonds of brotherhood, and eieVac
ting our race still higher in the scale OF
our being. Since our happy meeting last
year, Death has taken from our ranks
! shepardess of the flock, and we mourn the
loss of an able advocate and jealous TREND,

POISONING CASE IN ALABAMA.

POISONING CASE In ALABAMA.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail of the
18th, gives the subjoined account of the
poisoning case in Pike county, III that
State, referred to briefly by telegraph:
A German or Hungarian, whose name
our informant has forgotten, was on init
mate terms with negro woman, the prop
erty of old Mr. Thomas Frazell, one Of the
earliest settlers of Pike. This man had
once been in the employ of Mr.. T., and
was familiar with his premises. Some time
since he had been detected in gambling
with Mr. Fs negroes, and blr. +. had in
stituted a prosecution against him. On
Saturday evening, the 18th instant, he was
seen in conversation with the negro woman
above alluded 10 at the well, although he
had received orders from Mr. Frazell never
to come about his premises. On Sunday
there were some thirty-seven persons dining
at Mr. FrazelPs house, OF whom about thir-
tv were visitors from the neighborhood.-
All these became sick soon after eating,
vomiting violently; and the cook being an
rested Immediately, on a suspicion of poi
soning, at once proceeded TO state rs fol-
lows: She said that the white man above
referred to, while at the well, had given
her vial containing arsenic, which he in
structed her to mingIe with '.the meal, the
milk, the butter and the coffee" He was
particularly desirous that it should 90 into
every article of food for old Mr. Frazell
was in delicate health and generally ate
very sparingly The negro woman said
she followed the directions of her lover to
the letter--Who, by the way, added to his
instructions the remark, that "after the old
man had taken that, he would not prose
cute him in that ease"
The poison was administered, as We have
seen, but too successfully. The whole as
semblage of persons were put under its in
fuence; and, at the last accounts, six had
died from It's effects. Old Mr. Frazell died
about sunset on Sunday, the day IF the
poisoning. His overseer's wife and two
children, Mrs. Cloud, a widowed daughter
of Mr.. T., and his granddaughter, died
the next day. Several others were lying
in critical condition, and doubtless there
will be more victims Of this awfully fend-
ish crime. Mr.. Jack Frazell, son Of the
old man, happened to be out of meal on
the day Of the poisoning, and sent to his
fathers and borrowed bushel All who
partook Of this, including a brother who
had declined to eat at his father er's-having
come in after some of the company had
got sick-were more or less affected AZ
ter we had written the above, our inform
ant, Mr.. j. VI. johnson, of Pike, called
on US again and gave us the name Of the
prisoner, which is Comiska. Mr. j. fur
ther states that the infuriated people of the
neighborhood have burnt the negro wom-
an, and will perform the same service for
Comiska on next Monday In the mean
time he is safely lodged in Jail at Troy
He neither denies nor admits ANYTHING.

g@. A story is told of an officer in
the American army, during the war of
lS12-'14, who was, and is still, more
accustomed to the use of the sword than
the pen. While stationed on the Lake
frontier, two of his soldiers, brothers,
by the name of Kennedy, and usually
called Kanady, deserted. The officer
OF whom we are speaking, wrote an
order, and issued it to subaltcrn, to
proceed to place named and take the
two Canadds. The order was pcrcmp-
tory, and not to be triflcd with. The
officer looked at his instructions and
prepared to obey them, but he remark
ed that he did not believe he could take
more than one Of the provinces wahoat
q reinforcement !--NattonM latelH-

PORK PACKING,

The season for pork packing will
soon be here, and what arrangements
have been made, or are being made for
handling the pork of the country?-
We suppose the present season will
furnish the usual supply of hogs fit for
the butchers knife. What is to be
done with them, in view of the present
scarcity Of money? The banks can
not discount to the extent necessary
for handling the heavy products of the
country; and but few pork packers
have the ready means within themselves
to do a large business in this line
What then is to be done with the hogs !?
A farmer may hold his wheat over for
another year, or he may grind it from
time to time, and barter off the flour
for dry goods and groceries as he may
need. He may bale his entire hay
crop, and hold it for better market.
But his hog crop is a very different
thing. 1t must be disposed of at the
proper season. After hogs become
properly matured and fattened, they
cant be summered over, without de-
cided loss to the producer. .... ..
The question then. recurs--.in the
present state of the money market
what should the farmers do with their
hogs? AS a general thing, they can t
pack them themselves. Few farmers
are prepared for this, and fewer still
have the means to buy the salt and
cooperagc necessary. Pork packing is
IL business by itself, quite as much as
pork raising, and to be carried or, sue.
cessfully, it must be dono extensively.
And then after packing their pork they
have got to ship it to market, and run
the hazard of loss in thousand ways
that the regular pork merchant is not
exposed to, or being exposed to can
more easily avoid. The best thing then
that the farmers can do under present
circumstances, is to End pork NOR
chant who understands his business
one who is entitled to credit, from his
well known probity Of character--ono
whom he would be willing to trust in
any ordinary business transaction
! tseli MIN MS hogs, at fair price, and
on four months time - return home
with THIS promise to pay in his pocket,
and with the confident assurance that
the money will be forthcoming at ma
turity. This would be infinitely bet
ter, safer, and less annoying, than to
undertake to pack himself and send his
pork to market. The produce of the
country must be moved forward before
financial matters can be got to rights
again, and tho farmers should be will
ling to bear part, and run some haz-
zard in eitecting this object. If mon
ey cannot be had to move the pork this
season, sound credit must do the work.
Think ofthat, you pork raisers, and
act wisely.--Neao AlHany Tribune.

country quite equal, and in some res.
poets superior, to what it was represen-
ted to me by Mr.. Underwood. Why
this country is not teeming with inhab-
itants would be hard matter to ex-
plain; for in point of soil, climate and
mineral wealth it certainly has few
equals. There is q great disposition
to welcome industrious settlers through
out the whole country. They are ac-
tually in starvation for mechanics, such
as blacksmiths, wagonmakers, joiners
and such like. In view of the gener-
al distress likely to be felt among such
men this Winter in New York and else
where, it would be well for them to
go there at once, where land can be
had cheap, as we'll as plenty of employ
ment at remunerating prices.
