There's Poison In the CuDs

4 man named Wm. Williams recently
died very suddenly in Ebensburg, having
in his possession at the time, a bottle
partly filed with whiskey. This whis.
key was taken in charge, and sent to >
chemist for analysis, and here is re-
por, of the result. Let the liquor driu-
kers read it, and ponder its awful devsl-
opmeut, and be turned from their dria-
king, for "there's death in the cup" in
Blair county as certainly as there is in

Conference.-The whiskey which you
left with me one week ago for chemical
examination, has been disposed Of % de-
sired. The following is true report Of
the result of my investigation.
No strychnipe was found in said liq-
nor, in leu of that poison, found an
alkaloid known to chemists as picrotorin
aud which is tie poisonous constituent
Of Cocculus hdicus. The proportion
found was two grains to a pint Of whis-
key :, In regard to the vlrulence Of this
poison, l would inform you that it is
considered by the best authorities fatal
to human life in quantities of from five
to ten grains, according to circumstances
aud conditions.

Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton was onco applied
to as counsel, by man having the guar
dianship of several orphans. These in
fan.s would on their coming of age, sue
ceed to large and valuable estate, of
which there was some material defect in
the title of the deeds. This fact, aud the
manner in which it happened, was known
only to the guardian, who wished employ
Hamilton as counsel, to vest in himself
the title of the estate. He related the
whole affair circumstantially, and was re-
quested by his lawyer to call again, be-
fore he would venture to give his advice
in matter of so much Importance. On
his second visit Hamilton read over to
him the minutes of their previous con-
versation that he had reduced to writing,
and asked him if the statement was cor
rect. On receiving an ansFer IN the af-
frmative, Hamilton replied :-"You are
now completely in my power, and | look
upon myself as the future guardian of the
unhappy infants. Take my advice settle
with them hoporably to the last cert, or
I will hunt you from your skin like a
hare" 1t is proper to add this advice

A Farce


The manner in which most Of the
awards were made by the Committee of TIE
L. S. Society is little better than farce.
We were around, and never saw less in
terest displayed by judges in their bust.
ness, than was exhibited by some of them.
We know instances where first premiums
were offered forsale to parties who refused
to purchase, and were doubtless sold to
other parties. We can name man who
boosted that such committee would give
premiums as indicated, and that he was
willing to indicate where they should go,
for a consideration. The results FONT
strongly to the fact that he received
morey from some one, and the judges
followed his directions. Ii there have
been any doubts as to the character Of
this so called national institution, it seems
to have become pretty generally under
stood now, among exhibitors especially

While folly plumbers fame

Her own deep bounty she forgets
Is full Of germs and seeds,
Nor gloriiies herself. nor sets
Her flowers above her weeds.
She hides, the mo iest leaves between,
She loves untrodden roads;
Her richest treasures are not seen

Reward; from out thee chase
All selfish ends, and ask no more

Gus consequences. According to the la,
test accounts, the Papal forces are Oh the

to suppress the insurrection there a Ia
Perugia. But the Romagpa has entered
into treaty with Modena, Parma, and
Tuscany, for joint resistance to the re-
establishment of the old order Of things,
and whatever might be the case with the
Romagna alone, this Central Italian league
ought to be more than match for any

what extent this process might be allow
cd to 60 on it is difficult to foresec.-
Austria, after the lesson she has had,
would not be likely to interfere without
the consent and cooperation of France /;
and II it be true, as is surmised, that the
French Emperor still expects that the
crown of Central Italy may devolve upon
his cousin Napoleon, he might not in that
case have any objection to see the new
kingdom somewhat extended at the ex-
pense of the Pope. If the principle is to
be adopted in the case of the Romsgna Of
freeing it from the obnoxious rule of the
Pope, it might be just as well extended
to other portions of the Papal territory.
In this expedition against the revolted
Inhabitants Of Romagna, the Pope seems
to have forgotten the significant warning
given to Peter whose successor he claims
to be--he who draws the sword shall
perish by the sword. The Pope has no
doubt proceeded on the assumption that
while his right to subdue the Romagna
if he can will be fully recognized by France
and Austria, he can yet depend upon
their interference to protect him against
what might be the consequences Of fail
ure. But on the very same principle on
on which the Emperor of the French de-
clnes to interfere to compel the Province
of Romagna to submit to the Pope, or to
consent to any such interference on the
part of Austria, he might also decline to
interfere with other provinces which
might follow the example ofthe Romagna.
The City of Rome and its immediate de-
peudencies may be considered as guaran-
teed to the Pope by the presence of the
French army but whether the French
would interfere in his behalf beyond
those limits, is not quite SO certain

How to be Rich.

The way to get credit is to bepunctual,
The way 10 preserve it is not to use it
much. Settle often; have short accounts.
Trust no mans appearances-they are
deccptive--perhaps assumed, for the pur.
pose of obtaining credit. Beware OF
esudy exterior. Rogues usually dress
well. The rich are plain men. Trust

squatter soverelguty..an Itsm Of History.
The Illinois State Journal says, the
doctrine Of Squatter Sovereignty as now
advocated by Douglas and his sdherents
was first broached in an address before
the Legislature of the Northwest Terrific
ry, by Gen. Arthur st. Clair, the then
Governor, rs follows:
"For all internal affairs VIC have q cu4r,-
plets Legislature of our own, and they
are no moro bound by an act of Congress
than by an edict Of the First Consul Of
France"
What did the Democrats Of tn; day
think Of it? Jefferson was President,
and James Madison, the father of tho
Constitution, his Secretary of S.atc.--
When this clause of St. CIair's speech
was shown to Jefferson aud his cabinet
what did they do? They addressed Mr..
St. Clair the following significant docu
mcnt:

out by Lady Franklin, has got back to
England with the full particulars and mauy
memorials of the i'll starred expedition
These were found on the north west coast
of King Williams Island. A record of
he events that occurred in the expedition,
dated April 25th, 1913. was found, and
this shows that Sir John Franklin died
June IL. 1847. up to which time nine Off
GERS and fifteen men had died. The sur
vivors--1O5 in number-had abandoned
their ships, and were proceeding south to

firms the previous reports that have been
received. DR.. Rae ascertained from the
Esquimaux, in 1854, that party of about
forty white men were on King William
Island ia 1850, and a few months later
they found their bodies not far from the
Great Fish river. These were doubtless
the las. remnant of Franklin's party. who
