on the face and head, while the rest assisted
in giving him horrible beating. Having
wreaked their vengeance, they left him,

done very valiant thing.

BOURBON, October ,, 1867.

N1CHVTLLE ELECTION.

Ths telegraphic dispatches elsewhere in
this paper will tell how nobly and well the
white and black Radicals OF Nashville be-
haved themselves in the recent municipal
election in that city. The result Is glori-
Gus. and demonstrates most fully the wis
dom of enirusting the ballot TO the only
considerable body OF men in the South who
were friendly to the government through
out the war. Before such logic as this. all
prejudices and doubts must soon vanish
from the minds of Republicans, at least
The answer to the Copperbead prophecy
that the negroes would vote with their old
masters comes while the words are yet
warm on their lips, and if that party is ca
pablo of learning anything they will cease
opposing the Acknowledgement OF colored
men in every State ofthe Union.

4 SUPPOSED PiRRICIDE.


4 Son Charged Uith I'oisoniag his
Fdthcr-Saspicious Circumstances
Irrest, Change of Tenue ard Dis
charge Of the -dccuscoI.
Sometime in March lest DR.. Spencer, of
Tippscanoetown. WAS called to the bedside
Of an old man named Sharp, resident of
thu same township. The symptoms of the
sick man were those usually accompanying
irritation of the stomach, and the docror
treated him accordingly. But the medi-
cine seemed rather to augment than allevi-
ate the offerings OF the old gentleman, who
was violently vomiting and parging. On
inquiry the doctor learned that none of the
family waited upon the sufferer but son,
who insisted upon performing that duty
unaided. AMI that he administered TO his
father frequent doses of some medicine
which he carried in his vest pocket, and
which he said was EPSON salts aud That h.
had procured it of DR.. Stevens, Of Argos.
Satisfied that all was no. right, the doctor
left the premises and soon after learned
that the old man had died In great agony.
Whatever excitement was created by the
facts narrated above at the time OF their Oc-
curence had died out in the public mind,
but there remained one who could not ban
ish the subject from his thoughts. This
was the attending physician whose scien-
tic eve saw that all was not right. Thus
brooding over it, he met DR.. Stevens. of
whom he inquired il he had sold any med
icinc to young Sharp about such time.
| DR.. Stevens thought not, and an examina
ton of his books showed the record of no
such transaction. Further inquiry de-
vclopsd the fact That the young man had
told two stories as to where he procured
the medicine, saying in another qu,rter
that he had purchased it OF DR.. Spencer
himself This double falschood satisfied
many that the symptoms observed by the
doctor were caused by mineral poison.
probably arsenic.
The arrest of young Sharp was effected
by the local authorities, and upon his a!ii-
lavit change of venue was granted him to
this township. lie was examined on Tues
day last before Justice Osborn, but as no
post morton examination of the remains
had been made, by which alone the pres
ence Of poison in the stomach of The de-
ceased could be ascertained, the evidence
mainly as stated above, was held not to be
sufficient to commit him for trial.

faulters in large amounts Portions Of the

and the recusaEts were compelled to dis

The Democrats of the Second
Congressional District Of Ohio, held
a Convention at Cumminsgville on
Thursday. and after somewhat
stormy session nominated Hon.
Charles Rcemelin for Congress.
The Enquirer clique and number
of General Cary's friends we're on
hand, and did everything in their
power to prevent the Convention
making 4 nomination, but Mr. Recme-
lin made violent speech in which he
attacked General Cary and Mr..
Smith as holding principles wholly
antagonistic to those advocated by
the Democratic party. The speech
was received with great applause,
after which he was declared the
nominee. This settles the race in
the Second District. General Cary
will be forced to resign, and Mr..
Smith will walk over the track wit H.
out any serious trouble.

The editor OF the Christian Frecmon'
a Baptist paper published at lIillsdale,
Michigan, recently passed through our
town on the cars, and thus pays a deserved
compliment TO one of IFS institutions:
:. But here we are at Plymouth, on the
Pittsburgh. Fl. Wayne IL Chicago Rail
way, fifty or sixty miles from Chicago. On
the way we have frequently noted the cvi-
dences that all the region we have passed
through has very recently been the bottom
of aslake: but the supper is ready. and We
are ready for supper. and have the right
and appetite To try our speed without any
bets, though not without steaks, FOR twen-
ty-five minutes, at the rate Of three cents
a minute. Tie only fear we had Wa. that
the stakes would not be pOrmptly handed
over; but they were, plentifully and in
good order. We paid that bill with rel
ish equal to that with which we made il.
We most heartily commend the Plymouth
station to our hungry friends who have so
often been cheated at railroad stations that
the have resolved never 10 trust themselves
again on q train without carrying their
lunch basket well-filled. Ii is safe to 60 TO
Plymouth hungry and without a basket.
. On the whole we were much pleased
will, this road; we had never been over it
before, but We hope to pass over it often
hereafter; not solely on account OF Plyil-
outh and other places like it, though it is a
matter not to be set down as a trifle, but
also on account of the gentlemanly con-
duct Of the gcntlcmanly conduct Of all
those we saw along the whole line. But
ofths country and our musings upon it
hereafter.
Friends at the Office, be patient three
or four weeks longer, and your vacation
will come, and you may take Plymouth in
your trip; meanwhile keep up good
heart by the help of those excellent peaches
we eft in Chicago, and the good flour at SO
much. more or less, than twenty dollars a
