"HIRELINGs" OF THE ERIE CoMPANr TAM
PEEING WITH A JUEY.-Startling statements
were made by the foreman of the jury in the
BLACK Friday case-Davis against Smith
Gould K Co., and Belden and Fisk-which was
decided against the defendants in New York on
Thursday. The jury had been locked up all
night owing to the obstinacy Of one Of the jury
men; but yielding at last verdict for the plain
tin was recorded. The foreman then charged
certain "hirelings' OF the Erie Company with
tampering with the jury, thousands of dollars
having been offered for the purpose of mfuenc-
ing them. In the investigation of this very
serious charge Ju lge McCunn has promised to
assist.

The movement is engineered by democrats
mainly, but some sOre-headed republicans arc
connected with it. 1t will fail, for Congress will
give the experiment a fair trial before it goes

POISONOUS MEDICINES.

The theory that virus disease can safely be
counteracted by doses of poison, is false and
dangerous Within the last twenty-five years,
not less than score of virulent poisons have
been added to the repository of the medical pro-
fession. They are given in small doses, other
wise they would destroy life Immediately; but
even in minute quantities, they produce, ultimate
ly, very disastrous effects 1t is unwise and un-
philosophical to employ, as remedies, powerful
and insidious drugs, which in subjugating one
manageable None of these terrible indictments
operates with as much directness and certainty
upon the the causes of disease as Hostetter's
Stomach Biters, tonic and corrective, Vithou
single deleterious ingredient in ats composition
Arsenic and quinia are given for intermittents t
bromide of potassium for nervous disorders ;
strychnine and prussic acid for general debility ;
mercury in various forms, for liver complaint !;
preparations of chloroform and opium for sleep
iessness; and yet these deadly drugs do not COM
pare, as specifics for the diseases above enumer
ated, with that wholesome vegetable invigorant
and Alternative, while they are all So pernicious
that it is astonishing any physician should take
the responsibility of prescribing them. Let in
valds for their own sakes, try the Bitters tefore
they resort to the poisons. The relief they will
experience from a course of the harmless spe-
cifc, will render recourse to the unsafe prep
arations referred to, quite unnecessary

SCHOOL TAX The General Superintendent
under direction of the law, has ordered that a
county vote must be taken at the May election, to
decide whether not additional sums shall be
raised by taxation for the public schools in each
. county. The present appropriation has been
found altogether insufficient for the payment of
County Superintendent and Teachers and hence
the people will be called upon to tax themselves
q mere trife for this object. tax thus impos-
ed will be for the next scholastic year. This tax
will be absolutely necessary to make our schools
anything like efficient, and it is hoped the people
will weigh well the matter between now and the
