A Family of Twelve Persons Poisoned by
Stealing Flour-Three of them Dead and
the others in DANGER.


A family, consisting of some twelve men,
bers, living in the neighborhood of Fayette-
vile, Brown County, Ohio, named Story,
were a few days since almost simultaneously
seized with vomiting and a physician having
been called in, found the whole number
poisoned. The family having sustained a
reputation by no means enviable in the neigh
borhood, suspicious were Immediately raised
that this was but the result of some of their
evil deeds. Arsenic was at last detected in
the -four of which they had all partaken;
and, upon closely questioning the mother,
actuated partly by fear OF her death, she
acknowledged that she had stolen the -four
from mill in the neighborhood on the pre-
vious evening. The miller, it seems, had
placed arsenic in some of his -four in order to
kill the rats and other vermin which were
destroying the sacks in which it was con-
tanned, and of which prepared -four the old
lady had taken and thus poisoned her family.
Three of the family have since died from the
effects of the poison. @ -

A Railway Conductor Discovers his Wife,s

Railway Conductor Discovers his Wife,s
Favcrite Lover In n Respectable "
Boarder,
A young married man, conductor on the
Third-avenue Railroad in New York, adver-
tised short time since, to admit boarder.
A gentleman applied for the advertised lodg-
ings, with the degree Of M. d. appended to
his name, surrounding him with q halo of
respectability, which made him doubly ac-
ceptable to both husband and wife. The
doctor Is gay and good looking man, has
been married, but for some reason does not
live with his spouse. Well, the day on which
the conductor took the doctor to board proved
the very worst of his life, for the latter had
not been long an mite of the formers peaceful
home before he commenced those arts Of fac
ination, in the use Of which medical men can
be so dangerous, upon the partner of his
landlords bosom. g-1 6-t ra.f
Opportunity is all the devil wants, and op-
portunity the guilty couple had. All night
long the conductor was away on the avenue
cars through the long evenings the man of
medicine was at home with his yielding
hostess. Ere long the conductors suspicious
became aroused and he began to watch the
pair. A few evenings ago, pretending to
have left for his nightly duty, he suddenly
returned, and, softly opening his bedroom
door, discovered his wife and the doctor in
Jfdgrante deIicto. He thrashed the doctor
Handsomely, and his wife also, and then left
her forever.

Men of Angles.
From the Neao York Examiner

TTOHt INC 1teU fOfk EIGH3IneT.
There is a type of character which may an.
propriately be dubbed the angular. 1t is illus
trated in men whose dispositions are well sup
Piled with cornices, so to speak, which are con-
stantly obtruded on the comfort of their neigh
bors. Not the bodily anguarity necessarily
implies disobliging nature. Many, whose
bodily movements are awkward, are of an ac-
comodatng and a "giving way disposition,
but mental angularity almost invaribly has an
angularized effect On the carriage of the body.
Every reader of the erGmiRer has doubtless
suffered at one time or another, at the hands
or, properly speaking, at the elbows-of a man
OF angles. Look out for him when he comes.
lie takes manifest pleasure in crowding you
into the gutter, although he has plenty of room
en- the sidewalk. He contrives to caray his
umbrella or cane so poised that it may gouge
out the eye OF some passer-by He seems to
like the fun ofwalking upon the dress of every
lady he overtakes. He goes out of his way to
kick dog. In an omnibus he sits sideways in
order o take twice as much room as he has
paid for, and when he wishes TO be sat down.
he announces the fact by pulling the strap with
a tierceness which indicates desire to drag
the unlucky Jehu through the aperture.
AT table he obviously takes it ill when asked
to pass anything, and signifies his displeasure
by upsetting the dish which he passes. He is
i'4S ShSiAASAAp
himself by exploring with his elbows the ribs
of those around him,and by grinding their corns
till obey begin to think they've got miller a.
mong them. As for the amenities life he'll
none OF them. Long practice has made him
familiar with the vocabulary of grievous words.
He rejoices in asserting his independence on
all possible occasions, without rejecting that
1T IS the peculiar kind ofindependence that is
shared with him by ''the patent animal that
browses on the thistle" He belongs to the
class ofmen who it has been said that the OPP
position may be reckoned on, to any measure
which has not originated with themselves.
However, not to paint these worthless any
blacker than they really are, perhaps the Of
flee which they perform in the world is salu-
tary, corresponding to that performed by
brakes when a train of cars gets on too much
Roadway. 1t may be that men of angles are
designed as checks to the too rapid progress of
society. A hard headed, obstinate, unreason-
able man when viewed in the light of a brake,
is by no means con temptible appendage of
the car of civilization

Frost.
. When you awake on SEINE cold. frosty morn
ing, is it not with shrug of the shoulders, that
you perceive your windows are enveloped in a
network OF frost? You look upon it as sign
that winter has come. and you reflect awhile,
gloomily at the cold prospect before you, and
then perhaps fall into a troubled dream,in which
the chief factor is Jack Frost, who is biting your
toes,and pinching your fingers But why should
that miniature forest pictured on your window,
awaken within you so many feelings of regret ?
Look back few years. and you will see the
time when it was with keen delight that you
wandered in imagination among it's groves and
plains. 1t was pleasure then to explore the
tiny forest, discovering here a valley, there a
cave, and elsewhere, perhaps a sparkling lake
let, almost hid in the luxuriant foliage. You
expe rienced all the pleasures of the real explo-
rer, without any of his inconvenience. And
well you might, for never did the traveller see
so much beauty in so short time Nature is
lavish with her beauty but not extravagant:
she could not afford to make whole forest so
exqnsitey beautiful. In this picture we have
the luxuriant vegetation of the Amazon, the
wild scenery of the Alps, and the quiet peace.
fulness of Western Prairie, all over-sprinkled
with shower of iamonds, making it scene
at once lovely and gorgeous. But go forth now
into the real forest, and we shall see the same
agency. which has been productive of so much
splendor, has here been fell DESTROYER. The
leaves and blossoms which once enshrouded the
landscape in loneliness, now lie at our feet,
withered and dead, their beauty all faded.
And may we not from this draw a moral p
The Great Destroyer is among US, blighting and
whitening everything in his path Daily the
fairest, the noblest of earth are stricken down,
and naught romans to human sight but the cold
and lifeless clay. But let us take courage, hop
ing that even as the frost-worl1 is more beau,
tiful than the real, SO may they who have been
smltten by the cold frost of Death, be found
at coming day, clothed with renewed beauty
and grandeur VINDEx.
