a WIFE POISONED DY HER HUSBANDS Ne
GRO MIsTREss.-Great excitement exists in
Henry CO., Kentucky, in consequence Of the
poisoning Of Mrs. Porter by slave woman,
who had long lit is alleged been on terms of
intimacy with the husband. The Shelby
News gives the following account Of the af-
fair:
son Thursday 24th Of December the wife
of Mr.. Hous Porter died, three or four days
after her accouchment, under circumstances
whidh induced u strong suspicion that she
was poisoned. An examination Of the stom-
ach was made and strychnine found. A ne
gro girl about twenty years of age, belonging
to Col. Ed. Smith, was arrested on suspicion
and tried on Tuesday, the 9th instant when
facts going to show that Mrs. p. was poison
ed by the women we've proven.
Having been apprsed Of the certainty Of her
conviction aud punishment, she has made a
full confession, deeply duplicating Porter, the
husband of the deceased. She says that Por-
ter has been trying to get her to kill Mrs. p
for several months, threatening TO kill her il
she did not. That p. told her that he would
bear with it no longer if she didn't kill his
wife that was the last time he would ask her
if she refused he would cut her throat-ol
words to that effect. He gave her strychuiue
and told her how to use it. She did not wart
to use it had nothing against Mrs. p, and
believed she was a good woman, but she
feared p. would kill her, and did it to save
her life.
1t was shown that Porter bought strych
nine last August-and many other corrobor.
ating circumstances being brought to light
throwing suspicion on him he was arrested
and placed to confinement until NJ onday next
when he will pass an examining trial. Pub
lie opinion is very decided il the belief of Por-
ter's guilt"

DESPERATE CONFLICT WITH NEdRo--
THE NEGRO DRowNED.-The Lancaster Ex-
press of Friday says:
For some time past negro named Fisher
has been residing at Wrightsville, York CO.,
where he had decOme noted as desperate
character, as be had previously been, oven so
long as six or eight years ago. when he lived
at or near McCall's Ferry. lie was known
as a comon thief, and although warrant had
been out for his arrest for about year, for
the larceny of lot of leather, the constables
had up to this time failed to arrest him,
owing to his cunning and desperate charac-
ter. Constable Roberts, Of Wrightsyllle,
however, determined that he should be arrest
ted, and being satisfied that Fisher was at
home, he selected posse of citizens and pro-
ceeded to his home about midnight, where
they finally found the object Of his search,
disguised Ia BL0Omer, but his tall stalwart
appearance failing to convince the officer
that he was q woman his surrender was de-
manded Fisher made desperate resistance,
shooting at the party and using knife when
| it came TO closer quarters, cutting some oi
| the party severely, but not seriously wound
ing them. Finally escaping from the house
| he made for the canal and plunged in, in
tending to make his escape down the tow
path but the "Watery element" was too
much for him, and saved the pursuers any
further trouble. His body was recovered
{ the knife which he used in the attack being
found firmly cleuched in death, and this
morning was brought over TO Columbia fol
the purpose of holding an inquest upon the
same, the death having occurred within the
limits of Lancaster county-high water mark
on the York side being the boundary line be
| tween the two counties.

Attilpes
BreaiEfast Meet.


Cold meat when hashed for breakfast should
have not drop of water with it. Without
water it can be re-cooked so pslatably and
with such relishing taste as to be universal
| ly approved, and it may even afford nics
dish to help out plain dinner or supper.
For this purpose, cold roast veal is the best
if you have saTed all the gravy that has been
left from the proceeding day, which must
have had the fat carefully skinned off. Any
nice fresh meat will do if you have no veal.
Cut the meat into mouthfuls, emitting all tho
fat parts. Pat the lean into skillet with
small piece of nice fresh butter dredged with
-four. Season it with pepper and four or five
blades of mace, or a half teaspoonful of pow
dered mace or nutmeg. Cover the skillet and
| let the meat stow for half an hour. Then add
two large tablespoonsful OF tomato catchup,
| Cover it again. and let it stew for half ar
hour longer. All this stewing must be done
slowly, as the ingredients have been pre-
viously cooked. 1t will be improved by add
| ing dozen little dumplings made of -four and
butter. Observe there is to be no scGter in
this stew.
Ifyou have no dislike to onions, par5oil
| in another pan few small ones of the sort
called silyer-skns. Then slice them or cut
them up very small, and add them to tho
stew at the beginning. A teaspoonful Of
terragon mustard will also be found an i'm
provement. Cooking tho cold meat with
water renders it tasteless, tough and washy
Done as above with gravy, butter and catchup
or boiled onions, it is breakfast relish to sit
before visitors.
Onions should always be peeled and par
boiled before introducing them into any sort
of stew or hash, otherwise they are too strong
and overpowerlng.

[iFfoia the GerInnntown Telegraphl
from the Chinese Cane,

Our friend George Jones, CT Cheltenham
three or four miles north of US, has left with us
a sample of sugar which he granulated from the
sirup of the Chinese sugar cane. 1t is perfectly
grained and dry, and proves conclusivey, even
had we no other evidence, that this cane does not
much differ, in its granulating properties, from
the cane of the South. The evaporating contrl'
yances used Sere of domestic nature, and Of

ROASTED Con FIsu.-For roasting, take q
small fresh cod-clean it well. Cut of the
head and tail. Split the fish, clean it well
and spread it open, sprinkled with some cay
enne and very little fine salt. Have ready
thick oaken plank, large enough Tor little
larger) than Will hold the fish spread out open,
Stand up the board before q clear, hot fire till
the whole piece of plank is well heated, and
almost charred but take care not to allow it
to catch fire. Then spread out the fish evenly
and tack it to the board with four spike nails
driven in SO as to be cassidy drawn out again
Place the inside of the cod next the fire, and
the back against the board, whick if it has
been previously we'll heated, will cook it
through. Stand up the plank with the fish
on it before close good fire, setting a dish
at the bottom to catch the drippiugs, and
when you see that it is thoroughly done, take
it up bat do not remove the fish. Send it to
table on the board, the ends of which must be
rested on four nuflin,rings or something Of
that sort, TO prevent injury to the table-cloth.
Eat it with any sort OF fish sauce, or with 3
little butter and cayenne only. This is now
the most approved manner Of cooking fresh
shad in the spring, and nothing can be better.
Fish boards can be had at the furnishing
stores.

Twas Sunday night in Podunk valley
In clear, cold wintry weather,

Sat by the FIRE together.
Twas no rey7-fashioned iron case,
With fahcy worN adornng,
But real old-fashioned Fireplace,
On purpore made for warming.

Around the room was throwing
Its heat and light in ruddy rays,
And OF their faces glowing.

Were slowly getting warmeri
The cider in the pewter mug
Was bubblng in the corner.

Their loving forms supportngi
Twas made of seasoned white pine-wood;
And Just the ching for counting.
At one end Sally stuck like pitch,
While Josiah seemed to fear her;
But after while he give al hitch,
And got q little nearer
She cast her eyes down-Iooked quite tame,
Though very sweetv blushitg;
While all the blood in Joshs frame
Seemed 10 his face a-gushng.
He hitched again and got quite near
lie could not then resist her
lie called her his own Sally dear,
Then bashfully he kissed her.
"Good gracious ~ she gave start from him,
Her anger did not smothcr--
She said 'f you do that again,
Now, Josh, IN tell my mother"
They coon made mp, and she came back,
And Gained her agitation;
When last saw them through the crack
They were kissing like talnation.

PASSING AWAY.
DY c. SWAIN.

Look from the casement--look, and tell
What's passing, mother dear;
Since dawn, I've heard n funeral bell,
Slow peaing on my ear
And now there comes the solemn fall
or footsteps sweeping nigh
Look down the street, hear their feet;
Some funerals passing by.
The mother gazod with anxious face,
But nothing there was seen,
Except each old accustomed place,
And what had always been.
A mopent yet, dear mother, stay;
Strange sounds are on the air,
Like angels singing on their way,
Or voices deep in prayer
Oh, lift my pillow high--more high
For am faint and low;
Help me to look upon the sky,
And bless them ere they go
The mother raised hei daughters head
But no word could she speak,
The hope that from her bosom fed,
Left tears upon her check.
The night looked thro' the easement old,
And saw check so pale
A form so wasted, thin, and cold
No skill might there prevail;
But that which conquers Death yet beamed
Upon her wasted brow;
And sweet, as though an angel dreamed,
The sufferer rested now
All, who the mothers grief may tell!
Or who may comfort bring
Yet, high above the funeral bell
She heard the angels sing
