A Sad Affair.

One of the saddest aud most melancholy
affairs that has ever occurred, as iaras we
know, In this city, happened on Saturday
night last. 1t seems that Mr.. Charles Henry
Boone the law partner of John Hutchin-
son, Jr., Esq. and friend OF his had been
spending day or two together, IN social
way, when, on Saturday night, while at the
Bank Exchange in this city, eating oysters,
Boone suggested to his friend that he could
procure an appetizer, and wrote note to a
druggist for something, his friend knew not
what, and when it came, he poured out q
pretty large dose-a table-spOOnful-and
putting some water with it handed 1t to his
friend, who swallowed 1t. He then took
about the same quantity himself. Both
soon began to feel uncomfortable, and
Boone asked for q bed, which was pro-
vided, and he went to bed. The other took
the bottle containing the fluid, and started
for the drug store, which he reached, and
where medical aid was furnished In time
to relieve him. But poor Boone was so
long without medical attention, 70 physi-
clan being at hand, but had to be sent for,
that he was too far gone for relief to be at
forded him. He died in an hour or two
after swallowing the unfortunate prepar-
alton, 1t is supposed he committed blum
der in writing for the article he wanted.
One thing seems to admit Of no doubt,
and that is that Mr.. Boone had no inten-
tion ofinhicting injury upon himself or his
friend. t-. Ill. nj ..
Mr.. Boone's mother and relatives reside
in Philadelphia, and the intelligence of his
sad end will be distressing aud painful be-
yond measure. Telegraphic correspond
ence has taken place between friends here
and in Philadelphia, and his remains are
now preserved in metallic coffin awaiting
their arrival, or their order for his removal
thither. nH .g...f..
Altogether, this has been most shock

unmarried parties.-Parkersbwg (VG.) Ga

Supposed Murder of n Citizen of
stark County in Pittsburgh.

On the 11th ult., Mr.. j. r. Crisswell, mer-
chant at Mapleton In this county, started
east to purchase his fall stock of goods.
Business detained him in Pittsburgh till
Thursday evening, the 18th, the night the
President and suit were in the city. He
was a guest at the st. Charles Hotel. 1t
seems he missed the early evening train
east and accompanied Mr.. Correll, jr, of
our city, to the depot, who took the IL
O'Clock train west. The last known of Mr..
Crisswell was his return to the st. Charles
Hotel, at half past IL o'clock, having been
passed in by the Chief of Police, the house
being closely guarded on that occasion.
Mr.. G. intended to take the morning train
east, but nothing has been heard of him
since his entrance into the hotel that even
ing. ..e-. rf
There is very little doubt that Mr. Criss-
we'll has been the victim Of foul play. He
was a man of about thirty years of age,
married and with one child, was a man of
good habits aud had Travelled great deal.
Though three weeks have elapsed since he
was last heard of, no clue has been obtain
ed likely to lead to discovery Of his fate.
We know not what has been done by way
of search on the part of the police author
tiles of Pittsburgh; but for the reputation
of their city and to promote the ends of
justice, thorough and continued search
should be made. The proprietor of the st.
Charles might lend his influence toward
that end. The public and the friends of
such man as J. Il. Crissweu should know
his fate.-CdntOn Democrat.

The soldiers, Home Vote.

The MJrning Journal OF yesterday con-
tanned savage and unwarranted attack
upon the Judges of Election of Franklin
township for the rejection of the votes of
soldiers temporarily at the State Home in
that township. 1t calls it bold and viii
lainous violation of the rights of citizens
for the purpose of securing party success.
This is heavy charge to make against re-
spectacle citizens acting under the obliga-
tions of an oath, and bearing the character
Of law-abiding men.
No votes were rejected Of persons who
had a permanent residence in the town
ship. The rejected votes were of those who
were merely temporarily in the township,
with the intention of returning, as soon as
the object of their transient sojourn should
be accomplished, to their homes in other
counties in Ohio or in other States. Such
votes were rejected without regard to the
politics of the persons offering to vote, be-
cause in the opinion of the Judges, they
had no right, under the law of the State,
to vote in Franklin township. The charge
which the Journal makes, that the votes
were rejected for mere party purposes, is a
base insinuatlon, and as false as it is ground

The Famine in India-Sad Sights
in the Cities-'"Crawling" from
the Rural Districts 10 Die.

Calcutta august l0 correspondence Of the Lon
don Times.l
There are sights to be witnessed In CAL
cutta which would lead the stranger to be-
lieve that the city was perishing of famine
and pestilence. Since the famine has been
allowed to attain such hideous proportions
in the rural districts it is inundating the
capital. All who can crGloL from the inte-
rior, from the afflicted subdiv ision Of Jehan-
abad, in the rich country of Hooghly, and
the misery of what was once the flourish
ing indigo district of Nuddea, as well as
from the more wretched Mindnapore and
distant Orissa, flock to tina charities of CAL
cutta. They would receive food at their
own homes, but they hear that they will
get more in Calcutta, and clothes as well,
and so at the present moment no less than
two hundred and fifty famine stricken
wretches a day seek the unnOchutturS or
Bengalee fceding-houses of the native
quarter of Calcutta. SO late as the 9th OF
July last the Bengal government a second
time refused to encourage the formation of
a public relief committee, and soon retired
again to the hills.
But the city was being so crowded with
paupers, pestlence was so imminent, that
the municipal commissioner, Mr.. Stuart
Hogg, and one or two merchants organized
committee, and on Monday last q public
meeting OF all classes was held In the town
hall TO raise SUBSCRIPTIONS. J9uges, mer-

The annexation of Hanover, Hesse-C Cassel,
Nassau and Frankfort to Prussia, has, at
length, become an accomplished fact, the
royal decree which proclaims the fact hav-
ing been promulgated. The treaties with
Bavaria and Hesse-D -Darmstadt, the full text
of which has been published in the Tribune,
secure to Prussia some further addition of
territory and population. As regards Schles-
wig Holstein, the retrocessiOn Of a part of
Northern Schleswig to Denmark has. of
late, again become doubtful, because at
several meetings in Northern Schleswig,
which it pleases the ministerial press of
Prussia to represent as the true expression
OF popular opinion, protests against any
partition of the duchy have been adopted.
At all events, the retrocession, il any takes
place, will be small, and the Kingdom Of
Prussia may now be said to be composed as
follows:

Police incidents y esterday.

AL. Trunnell, who has figured somewhat
in police reports, went into livery stable
in the city, took off the blankets from some
horses in the stable, and was carrying
them away, when a negro, who had OBJ
served him, notified the police, who took
possession of the blankets, and locked up
the thief in the caIaboose. ..9sa.r..
A man got out of street car at the cor
ner of High and Broad streets. With ex-
treme difficulty he managed to reach the
sidewalk, upon which he fell PROSTATE. ap-
parently in a fit. A large crowd of men,
women and boys gathered about him, sup
posing, from the collapsed state of his
muscles, that he was in dying condition.
The police, however, came to the conclu-
sion that he had incautiously taken "a
drop too much," and toted him off to the
station house.
Lewis Dewitt, son of officer s. f. Dew
lit, found, at the crossing at Front street, of
the c. & x. road, a large trunk broken
open and filled with dramatic literature,
books, plays, &c. 1t was taken to the
depot, where it was identified as the prop
erty of the Holman troupe, now playing at
the Atheneum In this city. 1t is said to
have been taken from the American Hotel.
AS it was quite heavy, the gentry who
stole it, probably thought they were get
ting magnificent haul. When they had
broken it open and examined its contents,
great must have been their disappointment.
Stealing from dramatic company, gener-
ally turns out to be a miserable farce. 8,

Radical ProscrIptIOn-A Negro Pre-.
feFred TO a White mnn.

We learn upon good authority that a
white man in the employ of A. Moore, of
the firm of Kelton, Bancroft & Co., of this
city, has just been discharged for the sole
and only reason that he voted the Democrat
ic ticket at the late election, and that ne
gro has been employed in his place. This
incident clearly demonstrates two things
first, the prosecuting and proscriptive
spirit of intense Radicalism; and secondly,
its unquestionable preference of negroes to
white men, when it can make the former
subservient to its purposes by degrading
them to state more abjeot than that of
legalized slavery. PIN

as ''much greater than has generally been
supposed" And there are still 'four long
dark months" before the province. Gov
efnment Is making over the many orphans
to the missionaries care. This is said of
Cuttack, but am told by high official
who has just returned from Balasore,
where he assisted the relief committee,
that language would fail to describe the
state of things there a few weeks ago.
Think of nine hundred dead bodies being
picked up in the streets of Balasore In one
morning. Yet this happened, he assured
me. Halfthe truth has not been told, and
as there is no Baird Smith there, will never
be reported. The last return from Balasore
shows seven hundred and three deaths in
that one little station in the week ending
July 81; and II you treble that number for
the many who become the food of the
jackal and vulture in the lonely jungle or
ditch, YOU will not go beyond the sad
truth. 1t Is ominous that the Board OF
Revenue has ceased to report deaths.

In Carroll county, Tennessee, last week,
a man WINS tried before country magis-
trate, charged with stealing corn from a
neighbor's crib. The defendant had been
found with his hand in an aperture in the
crib, safely fastened In steel trap, which
the owner OF the crib had set for the pur-
pose of catching thief who had been prey
ing upon his grain. 1t was also in evidence
that two empty sacks were found lying at
the feet OF the entrapped individual. The
decision of the magistrate was that there
was no proof that the prisoner had stolen
any corn, and as to being caught in a steel
trap, any gentleman had a right to stick his
hand into one II he felt inclined so to do.

To friends and all others Interested:
We insured our horses in the OHIO
STATE HORSE Insurance Company of Gin
cinnati, O, August I'd. In about one
month afterwards one of our best horses
died. We notified the Company through
their agent, Mr.. Brockway, who. in few
days, received the necessary papers for us
to fill out to the requirements. We attend
ed to it and returned them, and as soon
thereafter as the nature of the business
would permit, they sent the money to Mr..
Brockway, who has payei our loss in full.
From their manner of doing business and
what we can learn of their former busi-
ness, we have no hesitancy in recommend
ing our friends to insure in the OHIO STATE

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.

St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in the
year 1911 by Bishop Dubois, being the Sec
ond church erected in this city. Archbish-
op Hughes made considerable additions to
it in 1888. 1t was one of the old landmarks
of New York, and endeared by many rec
objections. Besides containing the remains
of three bishops and one archbishop, in it
has been witnessed the conservation of
many others. There were very many splen-
did frescoes and paintings by American
and foreign artists, the archiepiscopal
throne, valued at $500, and other invalua-
BILE works, completely destroyed. Fortu-
nately, the archives of the church, not be-
ing kept in it, were thus saved. ..
