A GREAT STORM. Every few years brings
about some unusual condition of the elements
A flood ola height never known before occurs
in one locality; higher tides in another, and a
tornado in still another. We were recently
reminded OF this fact while in conversation
with an old lady Of unusual intelligence now
residing in Unity in this State. 1t is Mrs
Nancy Chase. She stated that she was born
in Canton, Mass, on Sunday, Nov. 10, 1886.
The next morning it commenced showing
and continued to snow till the next Saturday
The snow was so deep that her father made a
tunnel beneath the snow to reach his neigh

completely buried in the snow, with nomcans

ATTEMPT TO Poison 4 FAMILY. We learn
| that during the latter portion Of last week a
gentleman Of this city received from It neigh
boring city by express q box containing a
small quantity Of graduated sugar and q
number of oranges. The man 1t first sup
posed it to be nm agreeable surprise from
some kind friend. In examining the fruit
however, his wife discovered that the oranges
had been punctured. This aroused u shade
of suspicion and the gentleman conveyed a
portion Of the sugar to q scientific chemist,
stating the circumstances and requesting IN
analysis.
The chemist proceeded with the necessary
process and discovered in about two ounces
Of the sugar of strychninc enough to kill five
men.
1t was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt at
the most dastar,lly Of crimcs-the murder of
q whole family by poison. single tea spoon
full in a cup Of tea would doubtless have caus-
ed death.
No effort should be spared to ferret out the
monster who could be guilty Of 4 crime like

A project has been started in Boston, and
is sustained by some Of the newspapers, for
purchasing by subscription the farm on
which old John Brown lived and erecting
thereon q monument to his memory. The
old reprobate was traitor, a thief and a
murderer, for which he was Justly hung, and
it is difficult to see why he deserves q monu-
ment any more than any other dead and
buried murderer. If Boston has any money
to spare, it would be much better given for
the relief Of the widows and orphans OF
those who were killed when Brown made his
murdcrous assault on the peaceful community
at Harpcr's Ferry.
