INDEPENDENCE "A western editor
recently offered his hat for the best es
say on independence. The following
carried off the prize:
National independence is much ea-
sier imagined than described; person
al independence consists emphatically y
in being situated in a clean shirt,
drawers, seeks, and nicely blacked
pair of boots, with at least a dollar
and a half, and clean cambria in
your pocket, on Sunday morning, with
your wife on one arm and your baby
on the other, taking your course to-
wards your preacher, in expectation
of doing your own snoring In you

to nudge you with their elbow, or tC
tickle you with a straw.

Jones, who is digging a splendid crop

SINGULAR CASE OF POISONING BY A
BoY.-A remarkable case of attempted
murder by poison, has occurred lately,
as we learn from the Burlington Free
Press, at Montpelier. Vermont. a
little child Of Hon. G. w. Willard.
while drinking milk. was seized with
violent vomiting. The milk was ex-
smined and found to contain corrosive
sublimate enough to kill dozen men.
The poison had evidently been put in
the milk after it had been poured into
the child's cup, and the sudden violent
reaction of the child's stomach was
all that saved its life. Finally suspi-
cion fell upon Roskes. an Irish boy,
who confessed that he put poison in
the child's cup, from hatred to the
servant girl, with whom he had some
trivial quarrel, and on HON he hoped
the suspicion of committing the crime
would fall. He was Immediately ar
raigned before the court in session at
the time, plead guilty. and was SEN
fenced to eight years Imprisonment.
