A Whole Family Poisoned.

Again we are called upon to record
a horrible crime, that of the poisoning
of the family of Charles w. Massie,
a resident of Fordsville, small village
in the north end of the county, which
happened on Thursday of last week.
On the above named day, the entire
family were suddenly taken sick, and
the family physician was at once sum
moned, who pronounced their illness
that of being poisoned. This at first
seemed unreasonable, as the members
of the family had not previously been
sick, and could not have taken a
wrong medicine. The patients began
growing gradually worse, which re-
suited in the death of the eldest son
that evening, and on the day following
the wife and daughter of Mr.. Massie
closed their eyes in death. Then
came mystery to be explained, and
that was as to how the accident had
happened. The bewildered ones were
soon enlightened, and the case is now
clear to the minds of the people. Some
one in passing the well of which the
family had been using water, discov-
cred that the surface was covered with
a white substance which was supposed
to be that of strychnine or arsenic;
and had been deposited in the water
by the hand of fiend. When the
sad news reached us Mr.. Massie him.
self was so seriously i'll as to be una
BILE to follow the dead ones to their last
resting place, but there are slight
hopes of his recovery. The death of
the wife and daughter were in the
short space of an hour. Mr.. Massie is
a much respected farmer of that place,
and the loss of his family is much re-
GREETED by the entire community. The
guilty one is yet unknown, but it is
the desire of all that he may soon be
brought to justice and receive the
punishment that he deserves.

Served Him Right.

a gay widower, somewhere on the
shady side of forty, living in an adj
joining county close on the borders of
this county, in the direction of the
beautiful banks of the "Ohio," pro-
pounded to buxom young widow to
meet him in a pleasant wood near by,
at certain time, whether for the pur-
pose of holding sweet communion, and
pouring forth their hearts in prayer to
Him who dOeth all things well, or
what, probably the latter, our infor-
mant did not say. After some little
hesitancy, the young widow consented.
1t seemed that she anticipated the
kind of devotion the gay chap pre-
posed to offer, so she acquainted six of
her female friends of the proposed
meeting, and had them 30 with her
and conceal themselves until their
services would be needed. The Wild
over was on the spot in due time, and
seeing the widow there he thought all
was right and he was more emboldened
than ever, and at once made improper
proposals. to her. She at once lit into
him, and the other six ran to her as,
sistanee, and now that widower has to
take his meals standing, and lie OH his
side at night. 1t is said that school,
masters have to import the birchen rod
from other parts of the country, as
sprouts arc amazingly scarce Just now.
Better behave, old fellow, or we'll give
names next time.

We attended divine services at a
country church the other day, and
overheard very laughable converse
ton between two ladies. 1t was but
a short time after the minister had an
nOunced his text, when very stylish
young lady entered the house and
seated herself Immediately in front of
us. She wore a genuine pin-back.
She screwed and twisted around, as if
suffering intense pain, until she attract
ed the attention of an old lady who sat
on the same bench. Her peculiar
maneuvers made the impression on the
old lady that she must be suffering
from the same painful disease that Job
bore with such patience, and our atten>
ton was attracted by seeing the old
madame slide along until she came
within whispering distance of this dash,
ing young belle, when we heard her
remark:
"Is't bile or kernel? Bile l s'pose;
I've had 'em there myself" Just at
this moment boy upon the outside
yelled out Runaway" and We didn't
stay to see whether she tainted or not.

A couple of italian boys with violin
and harp were the attraction Monday
night. They were playing in the
public room at the Hartford House,
and had attracted a large crowd, sever
al of whom had never seen a harp.
Just as the bow had ceased sending
sweet strains through the air, and the
crowd was quietly awaiting to hear the
little fellow break loose on another
tune, a rough looking customer, We
think, he was from "Texas," yelled
out: "Does anybody know what that
thing is he claws?"

A Quarrel Among Preachers.

A prOtracted meeting has been going
on for some time at Screaming Hill
church in the upper part of this coun-
ty, conducted by Rev. Mr.. Crenshaw,
of the Methodist persuasion. One
night last week Mr.. James Keown, a
minister of the denomination better
known as Campbellites. After the
sermon, several penitents took their
places at the "anxious seat" and Bro.
G. called on Bro. X. to pray for them
if he felt like it. He responded. say
ing he did not so feel. Bro. G..
thanked him, and then conducted
prayer himself. After the meeting adj
jOurned, Bro. X. invited Bro. G. to
go home with him eff he felt like it, y
but Bro. G. did not feel that way, and
remarked that he would not go with
any such a man, and Bro. n. was ly-
ing to him when he said he wanted
him to go.

A family of ordinary size in Hart
ford, generally employ but one cook,
but we have family here now of only
five members who keep four Cooks
all the time. Although the preachers
have almost forsaken Hartford, by rea.
son of the scanty support they receive,
our readers will be astonished to learn
that the head and support of this APP,
parently extravagant family is an itin-
Grant preacher, and in addition to the
forr Cooks, the family keep a Taylor
employed, also.

FROM CENTERTOWN.
CENTERTowN, Nov. 9th 1875.

EDITOR HERALD:-The people in
this community are driving along pref
ty much as usual. We have had our
share of sickness, but has been abating
for some time, and the health of the peo-
pie is now tolerably good. There are
a few, however, who hold on to the
chills as persistently as ifthey belonged
to the Shaker persuasion.
1t seems that the hard times have
commenced steady retreating move
ment, leaving us in more buoyant
hopes than we have enjoyed for some
time. I do not mean that we have
plenty of money, for. this is not the
case; but the buoyancy of spirit is at
tributable to the fact that in spite of
our gloomy prospects during the wet
summer months and the whisper
of coming starvation that was then
raised by some who habitually direct
their eyes to the darker side OF a pic
ture, we have made a pretty good
crop after all. According to present
prospects, rs your correspondent sees
them, our bill of fare will not fall be-
hind what it has been for several years.
Perhaps the nearest approach TO a
scarcity will be in the item of pork,
for We have fewer hogs than usual, but
no one seems to be alarmed about it.
| suppose that in case of pinch we
could adopt the practice-if not the
faith-of the Jews, until we could
raise more hogs.
As regards food for stock, there
will be scarcity of hay, but we have
plenty of cut-up corn to supply the de.
ficiency. We have a tolerably good
crop Of tobacco in regard to both guam
ti:y and quality. To sum up our
prospects in few words, we can find
sustenence for our bodies in the pro-
ducts of our garden truck-patches and
grain fields, and have enough "tobac-
co money" to get a new suit of clothes
in the spring. How happy We shall
be then! l will tell you about it
when the time rolls round.
AT present our most serious trouble
is the "epizootic" among our horses. A
great many of them have the disease,
but how much damage may ensue can
not now be told.
The Baptists held a centenniel meet
ing at West Providence last Sunday.
A good many could not gain entrance
to the church on account of the i'm
mense crowd. Dinner in abundance
was brought OH the ground, and the
day was passed pleasantly and profit
ably. Addresses were delivered by e.
ders ID. j. X. Maddox and J. T.
Casebier, in which was discussed some
interesting points of Baptist history
and Baptist principles. n protracted
meeting of some interest conducted by
Rev.--Crabtree, at Green River
Union, closed this week. 1t is thought
that the MethOdists will hold a pro.
tracted meeting at this place immedi-
ately after the quarterly meeting,
which embraces the third Sunday in
this month. LELAND.
