[Prom the olnclnnatl Gazette, Jan. 1s.h.l
About half-past o'clock last eve
ming, Mr.. James MoKeehan, OF the firm
Of McKeehan h Evans, pork packers on
Sycamore street, started from his resi-
derce in Avondale, to the house of
Col. Swift, north Of his place. When
Just opposite the Blatchley Farm Dairy
he was stopped by three men in the
road, one OF them taking hold OF his
horse. and the Others coming up ON
each side Of him, with pistols pre-
sented, and made tho unoeremo-
nious and uawelcome demand,
"Deliver up your money, damn you. |"
Mr.. McKeehan took the matter as
coolly aud deliberately as possible
under such circumstances, asking them
TO wait awhile. One Of the desperadoes
said: 81 don't like to shoot a man for
his money, but you will have to hurry
up if you want to avoid this fate. "
Seeing there was no alternative, he
drew forth his wallet, saying that he
had some papers in it that he didn't
like to lose. They told him they would
return them to him through the post
Office in the morning, and took his
name, residence and place OF business,
and his wallet, containing eighty dol
lars in money. They also took his gold
watch and chain, worth one hundred
aud eighty dollars
When he begged them not to be in a
hurry, they told him they could not
wait, as they had another man to rob
after they got through with him. After
leaving him they took across the fields
in the direction OF the Carthage pike,
They we're young men, of medium size
and, Judging fron their language,
Irishmen. 1t is thought one of them
may be Marsh, who escaped from the
Court House to day.

Three Persons Accidentally Poisoned by
Arsenic.
TFrom The Jaohs hson Mich J Citizen

From the Jackson mich Citizen
On the afternoon of Monday, Mr..
Charles M. Bostwick, an old resident
Of Brooklyn, in this county, had occa-
sion to take dose of quiniue. Taking
the medicine from a drawer where it
was wrapped in paper among Other
medicines, he took large dose. He
then went to the barn, but soon re-
turned to the house in great agony and
informed his wife of his conviction that
he had taken poison. She was incred-
ulous and tasted the supposed quinine
herself, as did also a young woman 10
their employ, whose name we could not
learn. Almost immediately, both wo-
men were seized with violent pains and
sphysician was at once sent for. Be-
fore he arrived, however, Mr.. Bostwick
had been relieved from his sufferings
by death. Powerful emetics were ad-
ministered to Mrs. Bostwick and the
girl, and it is hoped they will recover.
Upon examination of the medicine ID
was found TO be arsenic, and the ply.
sician's aid was obtained only inst In
time to save their lives. Mr.. Bostwick
has resided in Brooklyn for the last
tbirty-three years and was highly re-
spected by all who knew him. He leaves
, large family of children.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The Democratic National Convention has
adopted the Pendleton greenback plank in its
platform, although it has failed to nominate
Pendleton himself for the presidency. This
raises the issue fairly and squarely between the
parties as to the gold or currency payment of
the $50 bonds, and We cannot but think it will
be the main issue at the fall election. This, we
think, is the first time that financial matters
were ever brought forward and introduced in
the platforms of the eontending parties Con-
sequently it is impossible to prophecy as to its
effect on the finances of the country. Still we
are afraid that it will bring us fluctuations in
prices and dullness in trade.
Business in Ottawa during the past week has
not been very lively. Still our merchants have
had very fair trade. The farmers during the
first of the week held back their corn for rally
in the price, which the latter part of the week
brought them; and, with higher prices and the
present good prospect for crops we can certainly
expect lively times this fall.
Gold has been steady at 140 in New York
for two weeks past, and is worth from 1877 to 1873
in Ottawa. Silver 1876.
Drafts on England and Ireland are worth
about 81 currency per pound.
Exchange on New York and Chicago remains
the same
Government bonds are on the rise, owing, as
we suppose to PendletOn's failure in getting the
nomination. They are quoted by F. A. Sherwood
s. Co. a. follows:
