A Mother Accused of Poisoning Four ef her
Chi1dPen

nesterday evening we were informed by "a
raliroao omcer, OF most horrible poisoning
anaiI, which has lately come 70 light ia Upper
Sandusky, on the Fort Wayne Road, surpass-
ing in atrocity and fiendish cruelty even the
Mrs Grinder scenes of poisoning in this clty
The following are the circumstances as related
to US:
The woman accused OF poisoning her child.
rem Is widow aged from forty to forty We
years, and has been for long time resident of
Upper Sandusky, Ohio. Her husband nv
whom she had four children, died some wears
ago. she never married again, but since his
death has given birth to three illegitimate
children, who have been living with her.
The reputed father of these children lives in
the city OF Pittsburg, il is said. 1t is reported
tnat some time since he proposed to her that if
she could get clear of her legitimate children
the iliegifimate ones. Soon after, her eldest
daughter, aged about seventeen years, and Inv.
ing in a family some distance from Upper
Sandnsky, was suddenly taken sick, and her
mother sent for TO see her She grew rapidly
worse after her mothers arrival, and died in
great agony. The physi could not account
clearly for her symptoms, bnt having no sus-
piclous of poison at the time, the body was
buried. In about six months after the second
daughter died suddenly with the same symp-
toms. A few weeks ago the next in age died in
tne same manner, and last week the last child
"a Doy) OF her marriage was taken down, and
by late accounts was at the point of death.
ihese repeated singular and sudden deaths,
al cohcidlng In symptoms and manner to-
OF the nelghbors, which were streng ngthened by
her loose and immoral course OF life. The
county authorities took the matter in hand for
investigation, and last week by their order the
body OF the eldest daughter was disinterred,
the stomach taken out and subjected to chemi.
cal analysis. The analysis discovered a large
quantity OF arsenic in the stomach, more than
sumcient to cause death. As soon as this ter.
rlble discovery was made the bodies of the
other two victims were disinterred and the
stomachs subjected to the same examinations
which resulted in the discovery Of arsenic IN
each Of them.
This unnatural mother was arrested and
committed to Jail on Friday last ON a charge
OF murder Of three Of her children. There Is
great excitement In the town in relation to this
terrible affair. =
Since the discovery Of the fact that the chill.
dren were poisoned, ii is said that the mother
in the case Of the eldest daughter, who was
about to be married, sent her as a present a
poisoned cake, which the daughter received
and ate, and that fearing that this would not be
fatal, she hastened to see her, and finding her
prostrate, mixed more arsenic in the food she
administered. Such horrible depravity seems
too great almost for belief.-Pi Pittsbsrg kepu6li.

The RESTITUTION in this city among the
poor Is very great, and it is represented that
thou sands are suffering for the actual neces-
saries of life. A great many have come here
from other cities, under the impression that the
Governmen mt can provide them work. In view
OF this condition of affairs, Gen. Howard was
at the Capitol to-day urging upon Senator's the
propriety of Congress extending relief TO those
most in need. While he does not favor appro-
priating money to be used directly for this pur-
pose, he believes the necessary appropriations
should be made to continue work upon the
Government buildings, and such other i'm
provements as arr contemplated. This would
give employment to thousands of people, and
avert extreme suffering during the winter
months.

NOT So.-Some paragraphist has started the
story that VIM. Cullen Bryants chirography,
as respects illegibilty, is second only to thar of
Horace Greeley, and that shis signature when
executed in haste, reminds one of a scorpion
suffering from ST. Vitus' dance"
This saying sounds smart, and has had a
wide circulation, but it does the great poet
gross injustice. Mr.. Bryant's manuscript has
always been remarkable for beauty, graceful
ness, and plainness-and, although now in his
seventy-fourtb year, his chirography is still
superior in every respect to that of most men
of younger years.

The NATIONAL BANKS IN NEW YoRK.-The
Comptroller Of the Currency and Secretary of
the Treasury have received complaints that the
capital of certain national banks was being
used in stock speculations, in violation of the
national currency act. 1t is alleged that the
ofheers OF the banks are involving their stabil-
lty by loaning great sums on fancy railroad
stocks at inflated prices. The Secretary has
ordered an immediate investigation to be made
by the examiners, with a view, If the COM
plants are well founded, of compelling the
banks to comply with the requirements OF the
national currency act. The defalcation of LIE.
werlich, teller fthe City Bank, in conseq uence
OF speculatons in Rock Island, are said TO have
precipitated this action. A resolution of in.
quiry in relation to the subject will also be in.

ic language Of Daniel Webster in his speech in
Faneul hall, March II, 1850, IF the internal

the supreme court at defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on
those who differ with them in their opinions or
dare question their infallibilty, and finally
bankrupt the country and deluge it with blood.
On motion of Col. Dickey, the following reso-

Resoiyed, That the president Of this conven.

and sailors of each county be requested to sp-
point two of their number AS members Of such

The chair appointed Lieut.. A. A. Osgood as

There being loud calls for Col. Dickey, that

after giving three cheers for the Speaker, three
cheers for the Chairman of the Convention, and
three cheers with a "tiger" for Gen. William
