IFrom the Detroit Free Press, Oct. PAL
4 Family in Detroit Poisoned.

A curious case of poisoning occurred in
this city on Monday last, which proved
very near fatal to an entire family. The
facts as we learn them are, that on Satur-
day Charles w. Hunt purchased a quantity
of beefsteak. which was put into refriger-
ator, where it was left until Monday morn
ing. Upon taking it ont the cook observed
that the sticks upon which it had lain had
by some means bscome displaced, letting
the meat fall through on the zinc covering.
Some doubts as to the propriety of eating
the meat were expressed, but it was finally
concluded tnat no harm would result from
it, and the steak was cooked and eaten.
Not long afterward Mrs. Hunt, her little
daughter and the servant girl were seized
with violent spasm and retching. A physi-
clan was sent for, and upon investigation
pronounced the family poisoned. A Miss
Hull. who also ate portion of the meat.
after breakfast came down town, and when
near the postoffice was attacked in the same
manner. Assistance was procured and it
was intended to carry her home, but she
grew worse so rapidly that she was taken
to the house of Mr.. Fay, No. 2S9 Woodward
avenue, and for several hours it was be-
lieved that the attack would prove fatal.
Happily, by prompt and skillful action, a
fatal result was averted and the young lady,
though still weak, is likely to recover.
Whether the meat was poisoned by contact
with the zinc in the refrigerator, or wheth-
er it, was diseased, has not, we believe,
been determined.

The Pittsburgh and Steubenville (Pan
Handle) Railroad, was sold on Wednesday,
the 9th inst, under an order OF Court.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch gives the following
history of the undertaking, which has thus
come to grief so soon after completion:
Originally, this road was commenced by
a company chartered for the purpose, and,
it will be recollected that the city and coun
ty made liberal subscriptions to the stock
Of the same. The company, however,
were unable to finish the work. and leased
it to certain parties in New York,
who agreed to complete it, but they in
turn found themselves compelled TO aban-
don it, and it was finally transferred to the
control of the Western Transportation
Company, who agreed to furnish it within
q year, and pay certain per centage of the
gross earnings to the company, reserving
the remainder out of which to operate the
road, and meet the interest on the mort
gage bonds which they were authorized to
issue for its completion.
This contract was made some five or six
years ago. and the bonds were placed in
the hands of Trustees, who were to issue
them to the Western TransportiOn Com
pany as the work progressed; but this un-
derstanding. it is claimed. was violated, and
the bonds disposed of, though the work
was not even commenced tor three or four
years afterwards. AS a matter of course,
as the interest on the bonds became due, it
was allowed to accumulate. The road was
to have been finished in year, and the re-
ceipts, it was confidently expected, would
have been foud sufficient to meet not only
all expenses, this interest included, but also
leave something handsome for the old
creditors of the work. to whom income
bonds had been issued, and for the stock
holders; but not having been opened until
few months ago, interest to the amount
of 81 100000, if we are rightly in
formed, had accumulated in the meantime
and it is for payment of this sum that the
road is now to be sold. The sale will wipe
out every dollar of the original capita
stock of the company, 100000 as well as
the income bonds and various judgment:
obtained against the road by othei
creditors, amounting in the aggregate to
several hundred thousand dollars.

AN old preacher in western New York,

said:

scattered many flocks. 1t got into the Meth

Napoleon ..,nd Eussnie in n Cave.

A letter from Biarritz says: The Emper-
or and Empress went lately with a suite OF
about thirty persons to 1sturitz to visit the
yrottoes in that neighberhood. The car
riages passed through Bayonne at nine in
the morning, and followed the main road
which leads from Pierre d'Irube to Has
plrren. Their Majesties were to arrive at
eleven, but the warmth of the reception ut
Hasparren induced them to stay some
time, and they only reached their destna-
tion at two. A lunch was served in mea-
dow, under some fine chestnut trees, alter
which the whole party commenced the as
cent of the mountain. At the entrance OF
the grottoes were twenty-four lads and
twenty four young girls, each carry ing at
the end of long sticks Venetian lanterns,
and all along the galleries were placed at
intervals twenty-four robust inhabitants of
Isturitz, having in their hands flaming
torches, which brilliantly illuminated the
glittering stalacites of strange and elegant
forms, so that the whole scene was most
dazzling, and caused the illustrious visitors
to express frequently their admiration
Their Majesties examined these wonders OF
nature most minutely, and were much
gratified at beholding the vaults suddenly
lighted up With Bengal fires. At three
o'clock the Imperial party returned to the
Villa Eugene, leaving, as usual, substan-
tial marks of their benevolence to the in
habitants of Isturitz.

Sheridau's Ride Now and Then
A Comparison.

When General Sheridan made his famous
dash through Virginia the enemy melted
before him like snow before the sun. When
he marched through the Northern States
lately, under the auspices of the Radicals,
the Radical majorities melted away just
as rapidly. The power of his presence
was felt as much on one occasion as on the
other. Here in New York, where he stay
ed longest, came oftenest, and made the
most and longest speeches, the Radi-
calls were defeated by over sixty thousand
majority. He has just lett Massachusetts,,
and there the Radical majority was great
ly reduced. If he had remained till the
election was over, that wool-dyed Radical
Commonwealth might have gone for the
Conservatives. He was induced to go to
Pennsylyania just before the election there,
and Radical defeat followed. So it was

of politics as on the battle tield.-N. Y

A GREAT contest of wood-sawing came off

in Lafayette. Friday. A citizen of that
place offered to give certain amount of
wood to the poor, if the members of the
Young Mems Christian Association would
saw it gratis. To make the thing interest
ing as we'll as charitable, another lot was
given for the Hoosier Base Ball nine to saw.
The example was contagious, and other
10 were given, and other mines volun-
teered. In all Sc cords were given, and
tour mines, namely the Young Mems Chris
tian Association nine, the Base Ball nine,
the Fenian nine, and the Independent nine,
entered the lists, each nine h wing nine
cords to saw. The saws, saw-horses, &C.,
were all given, and afterwards sold at auc-
ton. The participators and their friends
marched to the place in procession, with a
band. The saving began at % minutes af-
ter lO-all hands rested thirty minutes, and
lunched at twelve o'clock. The Indepen-
dents completed their last stick in three
hours and ten minutes. The Fenians got
through next; then the base ball players,
and last the muscular Christians. The
contest was the occasion of much fun and
good humor. and the poor of that city gain
substantial benefit.
