DIR SENTIlIENTS

The following from the West Tennes-
see Wing, expresses our sentiments pre-
cisely:
''We have several times since the war
received propositions from parties North,
to purchase from them one-half of the
Wing paper neatly printed, and filed
with carefully selected matter, at a price
but little, if at all above the cost of the
white paper We have never replied to
any of these propositions, but as we are
in receipt of similar proposal from a
Southern party, we answer once for all.
We are neither so poor in mental or pecu-
mary resources, as to need the kind of
assistance they propose. When we are
no longer able to make better selections
for our paper than any of those we have
seen in the bastard papers, or so impov-
erished that we cannot pay the expenses
of composition, we mean to quit, in dis
gust, business which will not pay its
own expenses. ''-Le6diao'a Herald.

A FEARFUL MISTAKE.
A Family of Five Persons all POiS-
Oned to Death, Except One.

Oned to Death, Except One.
By a letter from Hawesville, KY, we
learn that most terrible calamity befell
the family of Mr.. Hertzog, living one and
half miles back of that town, on Thurs
day last. Mr.. Hertzog had purchased a
quantity of arsenic for the purpose of
poisoning rats. He was thoughtless or
imprudent enough to place it in bottle
in cupboard, near another bottle con-
tanning 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 for
gotten about it. AT any rate, she made
the terrible mistake of taking the arsenic
and mixing it in her piccrust, instead of
the soda.
On the same evening one of the pies
she had baked was eaten for supper. The
family consisted of five persons. One of
the children, a boy, was absent during the
meal. The other four, however, partook
of the poisoned pie, and by the next
morning every one of them was dead.
Their sufferings were dreadful, the poison
taking effect in few minutes after the
supper was concluded. The poor wife
discovered her terrible and fatal mistake
when it was too late, for, twelve hours
later, husband, wife and two children had
ceased to live.
The family were highly esteemed. They
formerly resided at Cannelton, in this
State, and had been living in Kentucky
about year.-Ne1O Albany Ledger.

THE CITY.
THIEF OF TINE.
watch stolen and Recovered.


When we were boy we were taught
that 'procastination was the thief Of time. y
There is little doubt but that procastina-
ton has really stolen much of that article.
being an old offender and at large, despite
the law for 10 these centuries past. But
procrastination has competition in these lat
ter years of gold chains and watches, and
there are other thieves of time besides him.
This was illustrated late on Wednesday
night. 1t happened in this wise: There is
young gentleman IN the composing room
of our Office who wears q valuable gold
watch and chain. On the night in question
he met an acquaintance, and in a friendly
way the two partook Of some refreshments.
In this way the hours sped on, and as it
was growing late the acquaintance, who
with his brother does business In the CITY.
invited our friend to spend the night with
him at his boarding house. The
invitation was accepted, and
the two proceeded to South
Market street boarding house, which was
not the one, however, at which the young
man boarded, though he seemed familiar
with the premises. The two retired to-
gether, to sleep, perchance to dream. Our
friend of the types and case awoke and
found that his companion was gone, and
with him his gold watch was gone too. On
inquiry he learned that the young man did
not board there. He proceeded to the
place whore he did business, but was told
be had not been there. Typo then related
the circumstances and said he would have
his watch Repairing to the station house
he got some policemen and returned to
the store. On his arrival there one of the
brothers of the young men stated that he
had Just met him on College Hill and that
he had given up the watch, which was
handed over to the proper owner. The
young man who took the watch was no
where to be found, though we learned that
the police were on the lookout for him

ON DIT OF THE TURF.


We have just learned from good au-
thority-indeed, from Mr.. Richards him.
self-that he has engaged Mr.. Victor
Pierson to paint, in one picture, two of
his thoroughbreds, and a full length of
Mr.. Rice, their skillful trainer. This
group will, doubtless, be handled by the
able artist with his usual grace and faith
full accuracy. Mr. Richards has selected
for this purpose, Garry AthertOn and Ida
GrisSom. Garry is daughter of Licking
ton and Glycera. She is engaged in the
four mile heat race, with eighteen sub
scribers, to come off at Baltimore the
coming fall, at the first meeting that in
augurates that promising course.
The other portrait will be that of Ida
Grissom, so called in honor of one of Ken
tucky's fairest daughters. She is engaged
in the important F'Dinner Party Stake, +"
also to be run for next fail, on the above
named course. To this stake there are
thi-ty subscribers, at 81, 900 each, so that
with what the club adds, its value will be
over $4,000. Lida's race on Saturday,
distancing the field, will attract some at
tentiOn at the North, because of her entry
in that heavy y. o. stake. Much in
terest Will also be attached to her sire, as
she is the first of his get that ever ap-
peared upon the turf. He is an American
bred, and is the produce of what is usually
esteemed the best horse, on the turf or in
the stud, that this country has ever pro-
duced. He is by Lexington, out of Reel,
the dam of LecOmte. Notwithstanding
the bitter feelings that existed for a
long time between The Lexington
and LecOmte parties, the wise
owner of Reel (the lamented
Col. jefferson Wells) very justly conclu-
ded that the issue of the two would pro-
duce something extraordinary The sire
of Ida Grissom was the result, and was
appropriately baptized War Dance, from
the fact that that famous race of horses
were named after various dances-Reel,
Cracovienne, Ell BOlero, Galopade, Riga
doom, ETC., ETC., and during the late war
he took his flight, with others, before the
approaching Federal army, and made this
war dance even into Texas. He was
purchased by Mr.. Richards for S., 900 in

upon the turf until or s y. o., when he
was procured by Gen. Westmore from
Gov. ]. NJ. Wells to be trained and run

his friends. In this race he let down, and
has since been in the stud, and Ida, his
first issue, gives promise of an able de-
scendency for Lexington and Boston, his
sire and grandsire.
