' ~ LA IEDBSThlENNES.-A Ol6V6lduu cA-
change says that, few days ago two Cleve-
land "girls" walked to Unionville, Lake
county, forty miles distant, in two days,
and thereby won prize of $50, which gem
tleman had offered. On Thursday morning
last they started, and many laugh was raised
as they started off, clad in walking shoes and
calico dresses, as to the appearance they would
make when returning in a bus after having
walked four or five miles. But the young Ia
dies had more perseverance than they were
given credit for, and Thursday night found
them at Mentor, twenty-four miles from Cleve-
land, somewhat tired but by no means ex-
hausted. Friday morning it rained, but hav-
ing an umbrella they started about eight
o'clock, and at six o'clock that evening pre-
sented themselves at the door of a relative of
one Of them in Unionville, who doubtless
thought the girls were crazy to have walked
that distance. The next day, Saturday, they
returned to their homes by railroad and claimed
their $780, ... g. -
A WARNING.-Says the Lafayette Courier,
the result of the recent breach of promise
suit at st. Louis, wherein an estimable gentle
man Of the bachelor persuasion was mulct in
the sum of 100000, as q penalty of certain
moonlight walks, and the whisperings of
amiable nothings, and soft-sawdered compli-
ments into the ears of a lady known TO have
iuCllldJlOlbJ VIC llOblCcJ HAS OC-
casioned general panic among the bachelor
hood. The Bachelor Club of this city, it is
reported, has adopted resolution that all
members whose perverted tastes leads them
TO seek the society of ladies, shall, as a mea-
sure of self-protection, make formal declar-
alton of their intentions in the presence of
witnesses, and in all cases where p" notes"
are exchanged, they shall be indorsed with a
"saving clause" that "nothing herein con-
tained," &c.
NEUTRALIzING POIsoN.-A correspondent of
one of our exchanges says: A poison of any
conceivable description and degree of potency,
which has been Intentionally OF accidentally
swallowed, may be rendered almost instantly
harmless by simply swallowing two gills OF
sweet oil. An individual with a very strong
constitution should take nearly twice the
quantity. This oil will most positively neutral
ize every form of vegetable, animal or mineral
poison with which physicians and chemists
are acquainted.
Another correspondent recommends as fol-
lows: A dessert spoonful of made mustard,
mixed in tumbler of water, and drank imme-
diately, is simple and almost infallible anti
| dote for poison. 1T acts as an emetic, is al
ways ready, and may be used in any case
where one is required.
