A FAMILY PoIsoNED.-Five members Of
a family of seven individuals residing in the
southern part of this city were taken with
violent retching, a day or two SINCE shortly
after dinner. 1t was supposed they had been
poisoned. The family had pork for dinner,
and the sickness was attributed to this because
the two who were net taken sick had not par
taken of IL. All the parties speedily recovered.
There seems to be more or less disease prevail
ing among the cattle, sheep, and hogs. In Chl-
caeo, a short time since, large number OF
slaughtered hogs and sheep were discovered
to be diseased and their sale was at once pro-
hibited by the authorities Sheep and hogs daily
arrive from the West, some tl7e, and others
already slaughtered. Citizens should purchase
their meat from well-known victuallers worthy
of confidence, and avoid the 'sainners" and
others who occupy market stands and pass them
selves of as farmers. By adopting this course,
diseased meat would seldom find its way into
families. In regard to cattle, there is evidently
singular disease prevailing among them. We
noticed the fact in this paper some FIVE or
six months ago. since which time the disease
appears to have increased In extent, if not in
violence.

ANOTHER OIL CAsE.-Five pers ons con-
cerned in the formation of the "Monon gala OIL
and Mining Company" had hearing before
the Recorder yesterday, on q charge of con-
spiracy. Several witnesses were examined
who testified that the representations upon
which they had been induced to go into the
company were, that the land, consisting OF six
hundred and eighty-four acres, and located in
West Virginia, had good oil developments: and
that upon the payment OF one thousand dol.
and to have an equal interest with those
concerned in the formation of the company;
further, it was represented that the land was
to cost sixty thousand dollars. These repre-
sentations, it il alleged, were not true-that
instead OF the land costing sixty thousand dol
lars, only twenty-elRht thousand were paid for
it, and that there were oil developments at all,
or at least not such as to justify any expecta-
The hearing will be continued on Friday next.

How TO KEEP FROM DRowNING.-A
person may be saved from drowning by
the proper use of mans hat and a
pocket handkerchief, which, being all
the apparatus necessary, is to be used
thus: Spread the handkerchief on the
ground, and place hat with the brim
downward on the middle of the hand
kerchief, and tie the handkerchief
round the hat as you would tie up a
bundle, keeping the knots as near the
centre of the crown as may be. Now.
by seizing the knots in one hand and
keeping the opening of the hat up
ward, person, without knowing how
to swim, may fearlessly plunge into the
water with what may be necessary to
save the life of fellow-creature. If a
person should fall out of boat, or the
boat be upset by going foul of cable,
or should he fall off the quays, or indeed
fall into the water from which he could
not eXtricate himself but must wait
some little time for assistance, had he
presence Ofmind To whip off his hat and
bold it SO (top downward he would be
able by this method to keep his mouth
well above water till assistance could
reach him. 1t often happens that dan
ger is deserted long before we are in the
peril, and time enough to prepare the
above method; and a courageoes per
son would, in seven cases out of ten,
apply them with success.-Land and

MAJOR GESRAL CASBY AND MAYOR
CHAPMAN.-It is very well known that
Major General Candy, Commander of
the Middle Military Department, visit
ed this city on Monday and had an in
terview with Mayor Chapman, to which
the Police Commissioners were invited.
The interview had reference to the
getting up of military organizations to
resist the operation of the' laws in the
State in the approaching election. Gen.
Candy informed them that if any mill
tary organizations were necessary in
Baltimore, he had them already organ
lied, and as he is the military com
mander Of the Department, should di-
rect the military operations. He said
il any blood be shed, that blood will
rest upon the heads Of the Mayor and
Commissioners, but would insist that
order be preserved it becomes nee
essary, he should not hesitate to put
the city under martial law. The visit
Of General Candy to the city lasted no
longer than was necessary for the in
terview, and he gave the officials in
question to understand that he is act
ing under the orders Of the War De-
partment.-BaltimOre Gazette, Oct. 81.

Our Market Report.

Owing to the unusual press of cleo
ton business yesterday, our preambu-
lating commercial man was unable to
make his wonted rounds, and hence our
readers would have been deprived of the
regular market report but for the abil-
ity and enterprise of our local reporter,
who iumpcth into the arena and
emergeth with the following prices cur
rent, tO-wit:
Buttcr-Is ''strong" at last quotations,
and is recorded frank by dealers on its
merits among other aticles now making
a spread in the market.
Candles-''Light'' sales; holders put
out" but few, owing to the quiet state
of the market. Buyers are also eau
tious, and, having burned their fingers
with what they consider wicked
combination, are now "up to snuff"
Cheese-There is quite amovement in
cheese, especially in the older varieties.
Cotton-The recent wet weather has
caused an increase of the "stock in !"
trade. Interested parties have had an
opportunity to advance their views,
which are for good figures, higher than
before.
Copper-The 'stocks" are lower, and
holders are anxious to realize.
Hops-Lively. There seems to be a
movement "brewing' among the large
purchasers, and we will soon know what
.ales" the market.
Indigo-Holders look ''olue" at last
accounts, but which are believed to be
highly "colored." Consumers never
say "dye" as long as the present prices
prevail.
LEAp.-Heavy; "mark it" looks
black.
LUMBER.-In active; demand for
"planks" for the construction of new
platforms" is looked for in the fall.
As several politicians have announced
their intention of putting their heads
together, presentation of the rough"
may be expected.
METALs.-Tin is much sought, and in
active demand Brass" is steady,
especially at the leading hotels, where
enough can he had for any price
charged. Iron, "heavy," going up in
several houses on Fifth street.
MoLASSEs.-Moves off slowly, and is
likely to stick" at last quotations.
THE tobacco-house of Mr.. Hiram
Johnson. of Fayette county, was de-
stroyed by fire few nights ago, re-
sulting in the loss of his tobacco crop
for the present year.
Spirits-All kinds going down" rap
idly; recent conventions, &c. however,
caused n brisk demand. Some opera
tors returning from these affairs lately,
are working hard to keep their ''spirits
mp"
An increased demand is looked for on
the assembling of Congress.
Tea-Especially boarding house, con-
tinues weak" and there are grounds
for complaint that prices have been
too steep"
Among the various "chops offered,
FIRST chop appears to be the favor
ite.

TRAGEDY IN SURRY CoUNTY.-The
most Intense excitement has been
created in Surry by rencontre which
has recently taken place, resulting i'll
the desperate if not mortal injury OF
one of the most estimable citizens OF
that county. The principals of the af-
fair were Captain James ID. Hawkins,
son of General Hawkins, of Bacon's Cas-
tie, and Messrs. William and James Un-
derwoOd, son of the Clerk of the Surry
County Court. 1t seems that some
weeks ago difficulty (the cause OF
which is too delicate to mention here)
occurred between the parties, for which
the brothers Underwood attacked
Hawkins and horse-whipped him most
severely. Subsequently Hawkins chal-
lenged William Underwood, but the
latter refused to fight, and no further
collision occurred until last Thursday,
when the parties met at Surry Court
house, and on sight drew their pistols.
Hawkins weapon did not fire. Under
wood shot once, unsuccessfully, and the
antagonists then closed, when Hawkins
was shot in the side, the ball passing
through his body, inficting wound
which it is hardly possible he should
survive.
Underwood is arrested and is in
prison, and the indignation of the citi-
zens against him is said to be un-
bounded. All the parties are highly
connected, and were in the higher walks
of life.
We have further details of the affair,
but are not at liberty to publish them.
