The committee were invited to a trial exhi-

POISONING CASE The Lowell Courier
states that the family and boarders of DR..
kittredge, at l07 Gorham street, in that city,
were all attacked with fits of vomiting imme-
diately after breakfast ON Friday morning last
and before noon every one was sick. Some
of them are still confined to their beds. One
of the sufferers drank cup of coffee at break
fast, but did not eat anything, yet was attack
ed IN the same manner as the others. The
inference is, therefore, that the poison, which
the symptoms indicate to be arsenic was in
the coffee, and the coffee grounds have been
sent to Boston for analyzation by DR.. Jack
son. How the poison got into the coffee no
one can tell There is no domestic in the
family, and every member of it suffered.

SHOCKING MUTILATIoN OF A SAINTS BODY.
The Saxon Prince Margaret wife Of the Arch
duke Charles Of Austria, a very pious woman,
according to the Roman Catholic type of pety,
lately died, and her body was actually chop.
ped up and distributed as relics. The shock
ing affair is thus described in a letter tn the
New York EUening Post
The chopping up process took place in the
chapel of the castle, in the presence of the
dead woman's husband. Extended upon
red draped block lay the naked white corpse,
surrounded by priests chanting in Latin,
youths swinging ceRs0Ts, and number of
men armed with choppers, saws, and other
instruments. First, the heart vas cut out of
the body, Enclosed in golden case, and plac-
ed in an urn. 1t was then sent TO Rome, to
be consecTated by the pope, after which it
was sent to Loretto chapel, aud thence re-
turned to Vienna. But it was not to rest
here. Six cities claimed the honor of being
Homer's birth place, and six Austrian bish-
oprics claimed the privilege of possessing all,
or part OF the sainted Margarets body.
The bishop of Prague would be content with
the arms, the bishop of Salisbury wished to
obtain the head and shoulders, while the
bishop of Linz anxiously desired to possess
the two middle fingers
The Vienna censistory was obliged to de.
eide between the claimants, and the heart was
at length forwarded to the commo council of
Innsbruck, in Tyro, accompanied by two au-
tOgraph letters of the Atchduke Chares-one
of which was directed to the chief of the
Jesuts-in which the hope was expressed
that "Iyrol, the all faithful" would ''for all
time cherish the memory of the Archduchess,
who was saint upon earth" Had the heart
alone been separated from the body, the chop
ping up process would soon have been finish
ed but the church demanded more. Hence
the Archduke Charles directed the cutting
open of his wife's abdomen, which was done
The intestines were taken out, placed in cop
per, silver and golden capsules, and sent with
an autograph letter to the cathedral of ST.
Stephen, where the said intestines were first
exhibited upon the altar, and then buried
beneath the altar Hereupon the two middle
fingers we've severed from the body, and sent
with another autograph letter to dresden.
Ali that remained OF the Archduchess was
then wrapped in red velvet, and laid in state
on a eatalalque and ultimately the mutilated
corpse was placed in coffin and deposited in
the imperial tomb.

EYE SIGHT.-M Millions blindness was the
result of over work and dyspepsia.
One of the most eminent American divines
has, for some time, being compelled to forego
the pleasure nt reading, has spent thousands
OF dollars in vain, and lost years of time, in
consequence of getting up several hours be-
fore day, and studying by artificial light. His
eyes never get well.
Multitudes of men and women have made
eyes weak for life, by the too free use Of the
oversight in reading small print, and doing
fine sewing. In view of these things, it is
well to observe the following rules in the use
OF the eyes;
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin 10 read, or write, or sew, for
several minutes after coming from darkness to
a bright light
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or of
very cloudy day.
Never read OF sew directly in front of the
light, or window, or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from above.
obhquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on first awaking, the
eyes shall open on the light of a window
Do not use the eye sight by light SO scant,
that it requires effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates a glare, and pains
and confuses the light The moment you are
sensible of an effort to distinguish, that mo-
ment cease, and take walk or ride
AS the sky is blue and the earth green. it
would seem that the ceiling should be of a
blush tinge, and the carpet green, and walls
of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instnctively prompted
to rub the eyes, that moment cease using
them.
II the eyelids are glued together on waking
up, do not forcbIy open them but apply the
saliva with the fnger-it is the speediest dill
utent in the world-then wash eyes and face
IN warm water.-HaWs Journal Of Health.

Mr.. DoUeLAs.-The speech of Mr.. Doug

popular sovereignty, "that great principle of

clares The right Of the people of each State

is the only Northern state saved to the demo-

friends on the Improperly of rejoicing over
