perhaps, we should look on the iuilicton OF
this infantile malady, as kind of providen-

eT IMrRovEMEYTs-We intended noticing
several weeks since, the improvements made
in the Prothonotary's Office by Mr., Beckley.
These improvements were much needed, and
will add greatly to the convenience, not only
OF the officers but OF those having business
in the Office. Gu entering upon the duties
Of this Office, Mr.. Beckley had the good seuse
to procure the services Of S. d. Jordan, Esq,
whose experience and good judgment in mat
ters pertaining to the duties OF this Office, are
well known to the bar and the community.
There is, however another improvement
needed Of much more Importance, not only
to the bar, but to the whole people. The
ireproof is not only too small to contain
the records aud papers, but is not safe lie
case of fire. A new ire-proof for the differ
ent Offices 10 the rear of the present building
should be erected, aud tue present fire.proof:
used by the officers for different purposes
When these Offices were built, the business
OF the county was comparatively small. Th,
Office room is now entirely too small, anC
would not be any too large with the addition
of the present iire-proof rooms.

TnR kirkpatrick poisoning case, has occu-
MED attention in Philadelphia for some
weeks. Mrs. Robert z. kirkpatrck is
charged with cnnspiriug with her husband to
poison the family of Edwin kirkpatrick -
She is held TO bail in $1,000 to answer the
charge at Court.
The following outline Of circumstances,
given by the Eceni,.g Journal, which traus-
pired prior to the attempt to poison, will be
upon the matter:
Robert p. Kirkpatrick was in business
with his father, as one Of the firm, when his
brother Edwin was admitted as partner.-
There is reason TO suppose that jealousy
was instantly aroused on the part OF Robert,
This, it mnst be borne in mind, was at least
ten years ago. The two brothers were en-.
gagged to be married to two sisters, both Ia
dies of undoubted respectablity and standing
in society The betrothed Of Edwin was iu-
Euenced by reports which were studionsly cir
culated in her hearing, relative to his charac-
ter. Whether these reports were instigated
by the malice OF brother, We do not feel at
liberty to say, but their effect was to break oil
the match. Robert married the remaining
sister. and lived with her until her death,
which took place, we believe, in about one
year after she became a wife. TIE medical
doctor who attended her, is Of the opinion
that her disease was entirely from natural
causes Ramor states that her married iiie
was not happy one, and that her claim 10
the rights of wife, was disputed by strange
women. Be this as il may, she died.
Edwin married his present wife. Robert
became intimate with the woman who is now
styled Mrs. Robert 7. Kirkpatrick. This IN
tinracy WAS extremely distastefui TO his rela
tiyes, but it was not ruptured on that ae
count. In fact it seemed 10 grow stronger
by opposition. a GOODNESS ensued between
the couple and tAe family at large. Edwin
especially seemed TO incur the hatred oil hi
brother, ANA the plaintiffs in the present sui
allege that it developed itself in systematic
attempt to destroy their lives.
Lucrea Borgia, if the charges which have
been brought can he substanlated, was no
possessed OF more diabolcal disposition
thar the criminals in the present case, who
ever they may be. But it is believed th"
Robert +. Kirkpatrick never alone attempt
ed any such plot. lie is evidently rot pos
sessed ef mind sufficiently strong TO prose
cute such desperate scheme wi;n success
