A STARTLING CASE OF POISONING is related
hy the Erie papers as having been practiced
upon W, c KELLER, Esq, Treasurer of that
county, on Monday afternoon of last week, as
follows:
Mr.. X. was given an apple by man
at the Court House with whom he had
some conversation which he put in his
pocket. In the afternoon while at the
South Ere Iron Works, with which he
is connected, he remembered the appls
took it out and related the circumsta ances
of his conversation with the gentleman
at the Court House to Mr.. Atchison.
and said that when the person gave him

spectators was immense, and 1t was doubtless,

CONSOLIDATION is the order of the day
among railroads. Between New York and
Chicago, negotiations now under consideration
will probably result in several competing
lines. But it would seem that these maneu.
verings are not to stop here, and already the
stretch is for Omaha. Soon, we suppose this
will have become a fact, instead of an end
aimed at. Then 1t will require link or two
more to reach the Pacific. At no distant day,
looking at the ease and rapidity with which
consultations are being Effected some gigantic
monopoly will overshadow. the whole railroad
interest Of the country. The danger is that
such powerful organizations may work evil to
the institutions Of the land. We have seen
the effect of the Camden and Amboy Company
upon New jersey. As the Garden and Am
boy Is, therefore, 10 New Jersey, so might a
New York and Omaha or San Francisco COM
bination be to the Union. Camden and Am.
boy rules New Jersey. The ether MONOPOLY
might rule the United States. Still, the thing
may bring its own corrective, and the future
be not as bad as il appears.

Wonderful Discovery.

A pctrifed human body was recently
found near Syracuse, N. Y, by some
men, while engaged in digging we'll
1t was found about two feet beneath the
surface of the earth. The form i. of i'm
menss proportions, being over 10 feet
high. There is some difference OF opin-
ion among those who have visited it, as
TO whether it is a petrifaction or a
statue. We give the measurement Of
the giant form as we find it in the Syra
cuse Standard:
From the top OF head to inside role,
or natural standing height, ten feet two
and one half inches.
From point of chin to top of head
twentv-ohe inches.
Nose, from brow to tip, six inches,
across base Of nostris, three and quar-.
ter inches.
Mouth, four inches.
From extreme of shoulders, three
feet.
Hand, acroe the palm, seven inches
thro' wrist, five inches; second finger,
from knucklc joint, eight inches.
Leg, from hip joint to knee joint,
three feet; through thigh, one foot
through calf, nine and half inches.
Foot, nine and half inches long.
The Standard of the 9th inst. has an
other article on the subject from which
we quote:
Among the visitors were prominent
physicians, who made minute examina
tions. Some Of them, and we are not
sure but al, are fairly of the opinion
that the form is that of petrified hui
man body. We shall take occasion to
refer TO their reasons for such opinions
hereafter.
The probabilities of it's being a petri.
faction are having better foundation,
independent of outward appearances
thus far. First, is the fact that within
short time, in the work of grading on
section ak of the Cazsnovia and Canas-
tota Railroad, the skeletons of five nam.
moth human beings We're exhumed. one
OF them eleven feet tall. The point of
exhumation is not twenty miles distant
from Cardiff. These are proofs of a
giant race on this continent, and in this
part of it; how far back no one can tell
Second: There is now in the possession
OF the Onondaga Historical Association,
fish near one foot long, petrified to
perfect stene solidity, which was found
near Cardiff, and the color of this pet
ritied fish is very similar to the Cardiff
giant stone. Mr.. w. b. Kirk, of this
city, when living at Cardiff many wears
ago, found near there good sized perch
that was perfectly petrified, Third:
Five miles further down the valley, at
what is known as the Onondaga Valley
cemetery, in taking up human body
for removal some years ago, it was found
10 be solid stone; still further north, hut
in the same range, the corpse Of child,
on being taken up was found to be pet
rlfed, solid stone. Still another case,
the body of man who had been buried
few years was taken up for removal,
and, being found perfect petrifaction,
the widow had it taken home, and it ID
yet retained in the house, and has never
been rsbnried. We might give names,
but do not feel at liberty to do so with.
