CLEVELAND AND TOLEDO RAILRoAD.-The
trains on the Northern Division of this road now
run no farther than Sandusky. The inhabitants of
the towns beyond that point must now return 10
the old line ofstages if they wish to travel
MARKET MATTERs.-We are not about TO infict
upon our readers Ordinances, Petitions, or griey-
ances, but design simply speaking of the numerous
good things for 'hOme consumption" to be found
upon the market ground. Yesterday, for the first
time during the season, there was a good display
OF hogs upon the market, there being perhaps one
hundred and fifty head which were for sale from
wagons. The time has come when farmers are
killing their pigs and hogs, and we may now expect
to see The market well supplied. In speaking of
pork, it would be good thing if some of the far
mers about would do more in the way of fattening
young shoats after the manner Of the farmers about
New York. In that market may be found pigs and
shoats from five to seven months of age, most del
icately and luxuriOusly fattened on the milk of
Orange county and vicinity. These sprats are in
great demand at the hotels and first class boarding
houses, and are as much superior to common pork
as is tender beef steak TO the horse flesh which the
Utah amy was obliged to eat. The most devout
Jew would turn away with sigh from the contem-
platiOn of the ''unclean meats
Turkeys, chickens, geese, and ducks are being
offered pentfully, and viii be abundant until after
Christmas. Chickens can be had for cents per
pound, turkeys for 10 cents, geese for 81 cents
apiece, ducks for SO cents per pair 1t will be q
reign Of terror for six weeks among the feathered
bipeds, and many fearful quack and cackle will
be given as the prelude to decapitation.
SUSPECTED PoIsoNING.-There has been con-
sideral excitement in East Cleveland for a few
days, in consequence of the sudden death of a
Scotch woman, Mrs. Catherine Stacey, who fell
into fits Tuesday morning while dressing herself,
and died soon afterwards. The neighbors thought
the fits not unlike those produced by strychnine,
and young man who had boarded in the house
was by some suspected of having administered it.
Certain it was that Mrs. Stacey had taken some
salts and oatnip tea half an hour before she di ed
The Coroner had the body examined by Dr. Burton
who found chronic disease of the stomach, which
probably had, in connection with atmospheric
influences, produced the spasms The symptoms
as related by the witnesses, did not correspond
with those produced by strychnine, and the salts
employed as physic proved, on examination, quite
an innocent preparation. According to the ver-
dict, death was caused by a spasmo6ic affection of
the nervous system, which resulted from chronic
affection of the stomach.
