Lake dates to the End inst, have been re-

little attention.
The emigrant trains were progressing ra-

The POISONING CASE IN CINCINNATI
The manner in which the twenty German
children in Cincinnati were poisoned is thus
explained by the Gazette, of that city
A drunken, half vagabond German, who
has received the sobriquet eff HRat Peter, :"
from his making rat poison, and who is in
the habit of selling this poison in the shape
of small cakes or waters, to stable keepers,
butchers and others, was in a coffee house
near buckeye street day before yesterday af-
ternoon, where he became so intoxicated
that he was elected frem the premises. He
had with him as usual, a small box contain
ing these waters, and as he went stagger-
ing along he dropped number of them up
on the pavement, which the children there
abouts picked up and ate and gave to others:
The correct version of the poisoning affair
relieves it of all its mystery and horror,
and, to great extent, mars what might
have been called a thrilling item.
It appears that only one child died, and
that the rest are recovering. Previous to
the discovery of the way in which they were
poisoned. two boys were arrested on suspi-
cion, and came near being hung by a mob
of the excited persons. It was with the
greatest difficulty that The police sawed them
from the violence of the misguided popu-
lace

completed on Tuesday, says dispatch from
Washington They are brief and specific.
He is to see that the laws of the United
States are faithfully executed. No man in
Utah is to be effected for his political or re-

for his conduct. Should the authorities be
unable to enforce the laws, military force is
then to be employed. While his powers are
ample for all practical purposes, much is
confded to his prudence and discretion

Law SCHOOL OF CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY,
LEBANON, TENN-We have received the
tenth annual catalogue of this institution,
and are pleased to learn that it is now in a
successful career of prosperity. The num-
Der of students during the late session was
one hundred and sixty "a larger num-
Der, it is believed, than attends any. similar
school in the country. From a perusal of
the catalogue, we find representatives from
a large number Of States of the Union, our
own among the number. It must be graft
flying to the distinguished professors, to find
their labors so well sustained, and we doubt
not. if this school be properly fostered, that
in the course Of few years the stream of
students which has flowed from the South,
to help ell up the schools of the North, will
be turned, and we shall behold the North
ern student seeking his education in the
more genial cline Of the South. The pros
pectus of the school before us, in which is
given an outline of its plan, shows that it
deserves, as we hope it will continue to meet
with, abundant success. 49,
