raising q subscription of $4,000,
to be loaned to parties proposing
10 establish extensive manufactur-

tolegraphod to Mr.. BARNES at Tif'
fin on Friday last. A reply was
soon received conveying the re-
quest that an accurate plot OF the
old Starch Factory premises be at
once mado and sent him. This
was done, and the supposition is
that Mr.. B.. has taken it to Phila'
delphia, for the inspection OF the
capitalists who are to be associated
with him ia the enterprise and
that he will, with some of them,
be in our city in q few days, for
the purpose Of completing all the
further arrangements necessary
for entering upon its active prose

TERRIBLE TRAeFnT IN ISDIANA.-HTur-
Sa10, md, February S.--A horrible tragedy
WAS uncarthcd here last night. Last April
John W. Nanata, from Fort Wayne, secured
the affections of Miss Horn, Of this place,
and married her in opposition to the wishes
Of her parents and relatives. On the we'd
ding night nearly all the guests, thirty in
number, we're taken sick with every ap-
pearancc Of poisoning by arsenic. A sister
Of Miss Horn died from its effects. 1t has
been ascertaincd that he proposed an elope-
ment with young lady, Miss Bennett,
within the last few days, , III his letter
TO her he gives full histv5 Of the poison
ing, acknowledging that h. Il put large
quantity Of arsenic in the v ct from which
the coffee was prepared, and that he did it
for revenge for the manner in which the
family had treated him. He was arrested
on Friday, and after examination commit
ted to Jail in default of bail to the amount
OF $50, 900. Great excitement exists in
this community in consequence of this
wholesale attempt at poisoning. All the
parties concerned are among the most re-
spectacle citizens of this place.
