"A dastardly outrage was recently
pcrpetrated upon private Waterman in
st. Louis. A stranger presented him
with cigar and he unsuspiciously
smoked it. Not long aftcrwartl he be.
gan to feel i'll and his sickness increased
very rapidly, so that at last report his re.
covery was despaired of. 1t has been
found that the cigar had large amount
of strychnine rolled among the leaves.
"A brutal and, it appears, unprovoked
murder was committed on the Blue Bush
Road, in Exeter, few nights ago. The

of the murdered man is Eisenwood, who
was farmer, living about mile distant
from the scene of the murder. lie was
driving home on the night in question
with his murderer, who is German ped
der, and who has been living with Eiscn
wood for the past few months. When
nearly home the. peddler shot Eiscnwood
twice with Sharp's revolver, then threw.
him out of the wagon and pounded him
to death with a wagon wrench. When
first arrested the man claimed that Eiscn-
wood had been killed by the team run
ming away, and produced some wounds
upon himself with a knife, which he
stated were also made by the accident
The motive of the murder is mystery
as the murdered man had no money or
other available nrOrertv.

are very lax. The old school system pre-

he has secret opponent for Congress
in the person of one McMurtry, Of
Bryantsvillc, Garrard county, who
has instructed his political friends in
different portions Of the district to
make preparation for solid Radical
vote on Tuesday week and the ex-
perience Of Democrats in Kentucky
is. that the Republican organization is
compact and army-likc, and, when
called upon to support their political
friends, they rally to man! II be-

desire to defeat Radicalism in any form,
shape, or disguise, to prepare for any
emergency Next Tuescay week will
he the day of election for Congress,
and whether il is true or false that
Judge Durham will have opposition, it
is the duty ofevery Democratic voter in
the District to go to the polls and cast
his ballot for Durham Let no one
fail to perform this duty he owes to his
party and to the country.

TnE report which was 50 widely Gig
culated last week to the effect THO
Hon. N. J. Durham had Withdrawn
from the race for Congress in this dIs-
trict, and Col. X. J. Breckenridge
nominated in his stead, was a canard,
well-concocted, and circulated for
base purpose. Subsequent events tend
to impress this fact upon us. A trick
ster. Of little less renown in this
district than Ben Butler is in Massa-
chusetts, may be responsible for its origin
and hoped to make il subserve his in
terests. Its prompt correction, how
ever, effectually thwarted his designs,
and its tendency, we hope, is to open
the eyes Of the political friends Of Mr..
Durham, and make them crowd to the
polls next Tuesday week and roll up
the largest vote tor Judge Durham
ever given congressional aspirant in
