On the afternoon Of the 3lst ult., al.
James Finley, wife and three children, Of
the town Of Fayette, La Fayette county,
left their house aud went into the harvest
field. On returning home in the evening,
Mrs. Finley cot ready supper for the FAM

were taken seriously i'll, and in a few mo-
ments were completely Frustrated. In this
condition they ali lay till the next day about
noon, when some persons came to the house,
and was Mortified to find the inmates more
dead than alive.
An alarm was Immediately given, and
the neighbors rushed to the house to the
assistance Of The helpless sufferers. Med
zeal aid was obtained as soon as possible,
and the Doctors opinion was that they
were poisoned, which subsequently proved
TO be too true, for on examining the tea
canister, some flour aud other articles, pois
Oh was discovered in large quantities. The
whole family are yet in a very precarious
state. 1t is hoped, however thai with
proper care they may recover.
Ii IS supposed that during the absence Of
the family, some demon, ii human form
entered the dwelling and scattered the pois
on over all the provisions in the house.

Ohio the keystone State.

Where is the center of populotions We
have seen various statements on this head,
but none of them exactly correct. 1t is
easily ascertained, however. Pass line
through the United States, East and West,
so that one, half of the population shall be
on the North, aud one.haf on the South of
it. Then pass another line North and South,
so that one half of the population shall be
on the East and the other on the Vest
The intersection of these two lines will be
the centre of population. 1t is true that
some irregularities in the circumstances of
population may slightly vary, but very slight
Iy. Comparing the census we find that in
| $50 the East and West line was very near
| ly on the Southern line of Pennsylvania, and
the North and South line very near on the
in the year 1850, the centre of population
of the United States was on the Southwest
corner of Pennsylvania. Itprogresses about
thirteen miles per annum, nearly due West.
| There is therefore, no doubt, that it is now
lust about the Ohio River, near Marietta, at
the spot where the first settlement of Ohio
was made. At that time the center of popu-
la.ion WAS in New York county, Pennsyl-
vana; so that since the frat settlement of
Ohio was made, at the time, the center of
the American Republic has moved nearly
three hundred miles due west. 1t has eros
sed the Allegheny, and moved along the
Eastern slope Of the Mississippi Valley
For long time the great centre of the
Union will be in the State of Ohio, which
will have the honor of being the real Key
stone of this great and mighty arch.
1t is pleasant as well as curious, thus 10
notice the grand steady march of Empire;
not by conquest, not by the plunder and de-
struction of other nations, but by the peace
ful accretions made by nature, industry and
commerce. AS these millions have come
up and filled the land, their industry has
supplied their wants; the excellence Of their
institutions have attracted other nations;
and the magnificent structure of a peaceful
and harmonious empire is produced before
the wondering eyes Of mankind.

A SQUEEZE AND FIGHr-The Buckeye
State says that newly made widower of
Wayne Township, Columbiana Co., and a
buxom widow, having been said to be more
lovingly inclined to each other than the
gossiping neighbors liked, one of them joked
him in rough styl about squeezing the Wild
ow, which made the widower angry, and he
thus replied; 81 squeezed your wife before
you ecer did, and the only difference | could
see between the widow and her was, that
while your wife leaned up to me tike sick
kitten to hot brick, as though she loved it,
the widow squirmed little and s9uealed"
This was the signal for fight which contln-
ued for some time and until some passers by
separated them. The parties are now at law.

Low DowN.-It is reported of a chap who
went over to Washoe to make fortune or
lose leg, that after having secured the re-
quisite amount Of ground, he returned to a
place not thousand miles from here and
interested men of means to such an extent
that they became purchasers of his claims,
paying part down. and the remainder to be
forthcoming whenever it was found that the
ore taken from the ground should be demon
strated to assay as well as that from the
Comsock lead. Accordingly an agent was
sent over to pick up a few specimens to de-
termine the fate of the last installment.
Agent found lot of ore, brought it over,
had it assayed. The cash was gladly paid
and the bargain was complete No chance
for a "slip up" now being entertained, one of
the purchasers smilingly informed the vend,
or that the ore from the lead payed Just as
well rs that from the Comstock. "Weli''
said the sharper, ''t ought to, got it from
there" We tell the story as we got it.
