A FEARFUL MISTAKE.
A Family of Five Persons all Poison
cd 10 Death, Except One.

n Family OF Efve Fertons nit foison'
ca 10 Death, Except One.
By letter from Hawesville, KY, we
learn that Almost terrible calamity be-
fell the family of Mr.. Hertzog, living
one aud half miles back of that town,
on Thursday last. Mr.. Hertzog had
purchased quantity of arsenic for the
purpose of poisoning rats. : He was
thOughtless or imprudent enough TO
place it ir q bottle in a cupboard, near
smother bottle containing bread soda.
The next day Mrs. Hertzog went to
the cupboard to get some soda to mix
into piecrust. She either did not know
the arsenic was in the cupboard, or had
forgotten about it. At any rate, she
made the terrible mistake of taking the
arsenic and mixing il in her pie-crust,
instead Of the soda. -. ,....
On she same evening one Of the pies
she had baked was eaten for supper.
The family consisted of five persons.
One of the children, q boy, was absent
during the meal. The other four, how
ever, paI tVok of tho ria ard by the next
morning every one OF them was dead.
Their 7-sufferIDgs were dreadful, the
poison taking effect III few minutes
after the supper was concluded. The
poor wife discovered her terrible and
fatal mistake when it was to late, for,
twelve hours later, husband, wife aud
two children had ceased to liEe.os sal
The family were highly esteemed.
They formerly resided at Canneltou, in
this State, and had been ling in Ken
tucky about year.-New AlbaRy

NERVOUS HEADACHE, Liver Co,

NERVOUS HEADACHE, LIVER CON-
PLANT, &C., &c. The Brain being the
most delicate and sensitive of all our
organs, is necessarily more or less at
fected by all our bodily aliment. A
headache is often the first symptom of
q serious disease. If the nervous sys-
tenn is affected, there is always trouble
at its source in the pericranium. And
1t may be here remarked that as the
nervous fibre pervades the entire frame,
no part of the physical structure can be
affected without the nerves suffering
alphabetically. Liver complaint OF
every type affects the brain. Sometimes
the effect is stupor, confusion of ideas
hypochondriasis; sometimes persistent
or periodical headache. Iu any case
the best remedy that can be taken is
PLANTATION BITTERs. In headache
proceeding from indigestion or bilious.
ness, or both, the stomachic and anti
bilious properties of the preparation
will aeon relieve the torture by remov.
ing the cause. Ifthe complaint Is pure
" nervous-in other words, if it has
originated in the nervous system, and
is not the result of sympathy. the BIT.
TIERS will be equally eficacious.

The Smyrna Mission school.

Last year We gave the origin and progress of
the Sunday Mission School in Smyrna We
are happy to report, for the benefit of those
who may feel an interest in the cause, that it Is
still increasing in numbers. The school is in a
prosperous condition, having increased since
last years report, twenty Scholars at the pres
ent time we number eighty pupils. There ap-
pears to be great interest manifested, by both
parents and children-adultS as well as children
appear desirous of improvement, and take
seats as scholars. There is one female in par
ticular, which would speak of, who is sixty
years of age, and this is the first Sabbath school
she ever attended. She appreciates it highly.
The officers of the school would tender their
heartfelt thanks to the friends of the cause,
through whose munifcence they have been
enabled to distribute, in second. hand clothing,
to about the amount of seventy-6ve dollars.
The officers and teachers, being desirous
that their scholars should participate in the
Christmas festivities, determined TO get up a
repast for them. DR. Clawson kindly offered
Us the use OF two rooms in the Seminary for
Christmas afternoon. The teachers contributed
literally, and with the assistance of several
friends, they succeeded in having bOuntiful
feast of apples oranges, cakes and candies, at
which time about one hundred children and
parenis were recipients of the entertainment.
On the Sabbath following the children were
presented with books cards and engravingS,
according to their merit. On last Sabbath, a
beautiful steel engraving, OF Christ blessing
little children, was presented to the school by
the superintendent, when appropriate and at-
fectinE remarks were made by the pastor, Rev.
A. Rittenhouse HAWTHORNE.

THE SMYRNA LIBRARY In another column
we give the annual report of the Library ASso-
citation of this town, by which we learn that
that institution is as formerly, paying its way
without any particular effort on the part of the
managers. This continued success is almost
wholly due to the prudent and economical
management of the affairs Of the Library by
the President, who, tor the four years that he
has filed that position, has always shown the
deepest personal interest for the success of the
institution. One great need of the Library is
a supply Of new books to keep up with the
current standard literature OF the day and thus
add to its interest aud usefulness. A few vol
umes were added the past year, but not suf-
fcient number to lend much interest. This
need has been fully understood by the Presi-
dent, and would have been meet, had the town
been supplied with suitable room for holding
entertainments, by which funds could be real
lied. AS this want is now supplied by the
town, we may expect, in the coming year, q
number of entertainments that will be interest
ing to our citizens and beneficial to the Library

A SIGN OF THE TIMEs.-In Europe some
keen tnanciers are now engaged in the forrna-
tlon of joint stock company, with half mil
lion of dollars, which proposes to make the for
tune Of all its shareholders by operating on the
dead certainty" of the constant and early I'D.
probation Of United States government bonds.
These men argue that the United States gov.
eminent will apply every year to the reduction
of the debt the excess of its revenue. The ex
cess may be one hundred millions of dollars
or not more than City millions of dollars If il
is one hundred millions of dollars the debt vii
be paid in fifteen years; if it is fifty millions o.
dollars the debt will be paid in twenty-thret
years. ln the period of time, therefore, be
tween now and 1893 it is confidently counted
that all United States bonds will have risen t

PREPARE FOR THE CENSUS TAKER.-Next
year will occur the great decenial census of the
United States made by the general government.
Persons will be appointed for every locality IN
the states and townships to gather statistics Of
the inhabitants and of all the agricultural pro
ductlons, manufacturers, ETC. Each cultivator
will be asked tor a concise, accurate statemen,
of land occupied by him, the number of acres
and the amount of crops raised during the year
ending June Both, next. Those who are call
ed on before will doubtless remember the diff
Guilty in making up an accurate report of the
various crops. AS the report will be called fol
in June, it will be necessary to give in crop.
gathered in this fall, and the suggestion that
we would now make is hat the cultivators write
down, while fresh in mind, the number Of acre,
of each kind, the amount per acre, and tn,
gross amount. The milk product also, and tht
amount of pork, beef, ETC., will be asked fol
as well as all kinds of fruit.
