A Strange CASE OF POiSoNING-PATiENT

A letter from Hermitage, Mo-, gives an ;c-
count of Il, terrible case of poisoning which
occurred i'm the town Of Wheatland on

man named Moore applied to the county
physician for i prescription for some inedi-
cine TO cure ague. and us he Objected to
taking %quinine, the doctor prescribed a dose
of bitters compounded Of Peruvian bark,
lockwood, aud wIiskey. The young man
took u dose of the bitters and started for his
home, which he was barely able 10 reach,
and soon afterwards died. Drs. Redteld and
Barnes, who had been summoned by Mrs.
Moore To attend her son, in order to relieve
the mothers fears that the young man had
been poisoned, each swallowed some OF the
biiters. and soon afterwards started for their
homes. but had proceeded u short distance
only when DR.. Barnes was taken violently

poisoning, spurred his horse to his tmos

fell insensille at the door. He was carried
inside. and died within fifteen minutes. The

letter was written, therefore it is not known

A New INTENTIONAL. NJ. Emile Lamm
has invented in New Orleans what he enti-
ties the "Amonnia and Thermo Specific
Propelling Company of America" The
method of the operation Of this power when
attached to the street passenger cars is as
folIows:t "Tllc tank OH the truck or which
is to contain the motive power is filed with
about three hundred gollons of water; this
same water is heated ut the depot at the be-
ginning of each trip by being connected for
four minutes to the stationary steam boiler.
In this manner enough heat Is forced into
the water of the tank to enable the car to
travel nine miles and have a surplus OF power
left at the end of each trip" Mr.. Lamm
claims superiority for his process over horse
power in convenience, economy, and every
other particular. lie explains why in the
nine miles the heat does not materially dl-
minish, nor the requisite pressure fail,
though the load on the ear drawn amounts 10
four tons. We can only gay that his cNpla-
nations arc MISUNDERSTANDING.

Having been travelling for the last ten
days through Augusta, Rockbrldgr, and
Bath counties, in this State, and in Poca.
hoatas county, W. Va, | have concluded to
give you il bIrd's-cyc view Of matters asri-
cultural. political, &r., in those regions.
1t il now conceded that the wheat crop
will be- fully an average one. The straw is
rather short, but The heads arc well filled.
In Augusta and Roekhridge the oats will
Weld badly. I'm Bath and P%ocahontas, where
vegetation is later, the crops may be saved
by the fine rains, which hayo been general
in that region within the last few days. IN
West Virginia the grass is much better tfah
in this State, but ~ n general rule, except on
low-grounds, the hay crop will be a failure.
The corli-iiclds. wherever / have been, have
been well worked and are In the best condi-
ton to be benefited by the recent rains.
With %seasonablc weather the corn crop may
vet turn out to be No. /.
: As to politics, ! have not seen one man
who during the past Two years lias acted
with the Conservative party who will not
suppor Greeley and Brown. 1 verify be-
lieyc the enthusiasm iiPthtir favor Is equal to
that of the Wing masses for Harrison anu
Tyler in the memorable canvass OF 1870
The people recognize the imperative neces'
sity Of ii change In the National Admlnislsa'
ton, and are in no degree tnfaueneed ny the
