Of the boys was on the morrow TO

Said the one Who was soon 10

Well, boys and girls, I'm going
tomorrow. You'll have lots OF
good times when am gone; the
cider barrel will suffer, and the
nuts will be cracked, and you'll
romp with each other just as
usnal. Sometimes / will be wish
ing 10 be back here, I suppose. but
40 I have fortune to make.I shal.
have no time to fool away. Oh,
you'll hear of me will be rich
some day. You may stay here and
work on the farm and in the old
mill, but I'm going to be rich some
day." n
Said one Of the girls
\"Yes, and you'll forget your old
friends just as other folks do.
When you have . fine house, and
lots Of money,it will be 90 different
from now that you wolldn't know

The Ohio Poisoning Case.

A correspondent who was present at
the formal arrest of Mrs. Colburn,. lin
Ohio, charged with poisoning her
former husband, Peter Buffenbager,
gives the following account Of the
appearance of the accused and her
daughter on that occasion:
Mrs. Colburn is a lady Of medium
height, rather slender figure, fair, pale
com plexion; dark grey eyes; a rather
long finely-cut nose; large mouth, the
corners dropping, and thin, bloodless
lips. During her brief visit at her
attorneys office her eyes were seldom
raised to gaze around, but were fixed
with a kind ofembarrassed look on the
floor, or at some inanimate object In the
room She had upon her head straw
hat trimmed with black ribbon, and
an ear or two OF wheat. She wore a
buff linen suit, panisr du greeque, and
skirt with deep black fiounce. Her
feet were encased in neatly fitting gaiter
boots. Miss Jennie is q blonde, full
round face, and pleasing features, red
lips, light hair, and rather dark grey or
blue ewes. She looked charming In q
white organdie basque and skirt, and
very modestly gazed at the tip OF her
little CATER boot while she remained IN
reportorial presence,

Another supposed Murder.

Here ID another most astounding
scandal and murder, brought to light by
the Guernsey Times Six or seven years
ago man named John or Jonathan
Smith came to Londonderry township,
this county, and took up his abode.
Owing to his aversion to anything like
conversation regarding his former resi-
dence and his inability to give any we'll
defined account OF himself, be was re-
garded with suspicion BY his new neigh
bors. He represented himself as a
bachelor, and early began to make love
to maiden lady named Kate Mcclure,
whom he married few months later.
She had some property, and with her
he found home; and having warmed
the serpent into life, her reward con-
sisted of the most violent abuse. He
came there in the spring Of the year,
was married in the early fall, and in
the winter went away, and after an alb
sence OF some weeks returned with sew
eral children. Then it was that the
new wife first learned of the deception
that if nothing more serious was true,
her husband was widower. This, at
least, was his story. Subsequently an
older son came, who told in the neigh
borhood that his mother was living at
the time the father married Kate"
Time passed on, however, until last
week, when he was arrested on a war
rant, placed in the hands Of Constable
Hunt, of Londonderry township, by an
officer from GAINESVILLE, charging him
with the murder of his former wife.
He was taken to the office of Justice
Dunbar, and while awaiting examina-
ton eluded the officers by descending
from the upper porch. He made good
his escape and is still at large. 1t is
said that on returning to his former
home at the time referred to, he took
his lawful wife out riding, and induced
her to partake Of the contents OF bot
tie, from which she soon sickened and
died. Reports say he came from
Washington county and that the order
of arrest was from there. We give the
above facts as related to US by those
who have been acquainted with some
of the circumstances, and they only
lack official confirmation. Should this
man be the scoundrel he is reputed to
be, it is hoped that he may be overtaken
and made to suffer the penalty Of his
great crime.
