Eight Persons Poisoned.

At the hospitablo board of Mr.. Groenup
Jones' Of this vicinity, a few days ago, eleven
persons partook-rather unsparingly, perhaps
of sumptuous dinner. A few hours after
eating, one after another OF the company, in
Guiding "mine host" commenced vomiting,
until eight Of the opicUreans were each indus
triously attending 10 the inverted action Of
his individual stomach and esophagus-each
seemingly trying to excel his neighbor in sci
entifc vomition. AT first the coincidence was
regarded as a very amusing episode and quite
AM interesting finale to the days enjoyment
but as the participants in the impromptu tab

more fortunate companions in the sanguinary
table-conhict became alarmed and summoned
a physician. BY the time the doctor arrived
the matter was regarded with becoming seri

Kentucky University.

A friend has sent ne for publication an able
and timely article on the subject Of the troubles
in the above University by correspondent Of
the Lexington Prcs. We regret that want Of
space forbids is publication in full, or TO do
more than alludc 10 it, contents
The University IL one Of our State pride'.,
and we sincerely hope that the warning elc-
ments Of discord, and the clouds of glcom
which are hanging over Il may fass sway n
early and as surely NJ the Summer leaves;
and trust that when the fall session opens,
there will be peace, harmony aud goodwill in
all IT, departments The magnificent endow.
mont fund, and the long roll Of students in
each department, fcre-h,dcw still grander sue
cess, provided that every element Of discord l.
speedily quoted.
The Christian Church Of Kentucky, and in
fact. the Church and States II the South and
West, cannot afford to see the influence and
good Of the University ieopardized by a few
ambitious individuals, who seem to he bcm
upon "rule or ruin"
No institution can remain in prosperous
condition without the utmost harmony among
its leaders. This is especially tue OF our
University. A spirit Of elimination and re-
elimination, il cngendered and fostered, will
sap the foundations Of it, usefulness, and
wreck the highest hopes Of It's friends and pa
irons. We humbly council a spirit Of fraier-
nal conduct. We desire to see our University
rise to the highest position Of any in all the
land, and il wise councils obtain, that desire
will be fully rcalired-athorwise, disaster will
be the inevitable result.
The writer above referred to, closes his adj
mirable article as follows:
zone thing is certain. To secure the pros
perity Of Kentucky University, which we
I should all desire, IL must have the patronage,
/ the support the confidence Of the Christian
church Of Kentucky and of the West and
South. Other denominations will not patron
izc an institution not their own. Should II
uass into alien hands or is control I've wrench
ed from the majority and given over TO a
small minority Of the church, rest assured
that there is danger that the majority will re-
fuse to succor or sustain il. Can You imagine
q more humiliating spectacle than great
University plunged from tie hight Of pros.
perity to the depths Of adversely, whose hall.
no longer rcsound with the crowded footsteps
of matriculatus, though echoing with the
voice Of well-paid professors? May such
never be the fate Of our Christian Kentucky
University Take warning from old Centre
College, at Danville, with its able faculty
large endowments, splendid buildings, and
sixty students That time-honored inslitu
ton languishes in the midst Of powerful Pres
byterian influences, because It's government
