;ratea by supposed poisoning. The

as follows: Mr. Henry Stottlemyer
and wife We're visiting the family of
NIr. Snuff on the above evening, and
took tea with them, Immediately after
which they (Nr. and Mrs. Stostle-
myer) started to their home-several
miles distant. Mr.. and Mrs. Stottle-
mycr both complained Of feeling bad
ly before they reached their residence,

stefan. The entire family of MIR.
Shuf' were, with tAo exception Of Il
young daughter, Frustrated with an
illncss, $50 much so
that not a member Of the family was
able to go for a doctor,) Fortunately
a nei3hbor called during the evening"
and, seeing the condition Of the PEG
pie, hurried off for assistance. Upon
examination it was found that poison
had been placed in box of coffee
essence which had been used for sup
per that evening. It is not known
whether it was in the box when pnr-
chased or whether it could have been
put there afterward. The whole fam

a METHOD OF COATING IRoN.--A method
OF coating iron with copper, so as TO pro-
trrt the foruer from the action of SEA
water and the like is described in the
Dcut, WuM. ZcIung. The iron, it ar-
pears, is first cleaned and rendered per-
fertiy brig g,t by means Of acid and then
immerSed in Il bath of melted copper,
which is maintained at II very high tenn
prraturc, so that it net only covers the
iron but becomes incorporated with il.
Iron coppered in this way can, it is said,
be hammered and rolled without the cop
per tearing or preling off, and specimens
left in contact with sea water for Il period
of nine months have been found unat-
tackled, and capable of being hammered
and rolled out like new metal. lron
plates covered with copper in this way
are claimed to possess two important adj
vantagcs over pure copper plates, name
u, they cost less and are harder and
stronger. There is also great advan-
tage il L5lng copparel iron wire for
telegraph lines, instead of galvanized
iron.

Senatorial Eligibility.

| THE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE REGARDING
ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERS TO CIVIL OF
FICE.
The new Constitution of Pennsylvania
| forbds the appointment Of any member of
the General Assembly to any civil office un-
der this Commonwealth, in general and alb
solute terms, whereas the old Constitution
had super-added the words, (which shall
have been created or the emolument5 of
which shall have been increased" during his
| term.
Formerly therefore, the prohibition WAS
limited to new offices and to Offices of in
creased compensation, whereas, it now APP
plies to all civil Offices of appointment
whether new or old.
Formerly, also, there was a prohibition
upon appointment Of members to civil office
by the Governor, (Art. VI, 5S,) which was
swept away by the new Constitution because
the more genera prohibition above mention
ed forbade not only gubernatoria, but all
other civil appointments under the State by
any appointing power. That limited prohiDi-
ton had become unnecessary and superllu-
Gus, and it was therefore dropped.
The procee dings of the Constitutional
Convention present this subject in striking
light In the Convention the Legislative ar
ticIe as passed ON second reading contained
section, numbered seven, which combined
the nineteenth section of the first article aud
the last division Of the eighth section Of the
| sixth article of the old Constitution. This
composite section read as follows, lexcept
the brackets inserted in the textJ
mo Senator or Representative shall dur
Ing the time for which he shall have been
elected, be appointed to any civil Office un-
der this Commonwealth which shall have
been created, or the smoluments of which
shall have been increased during such time,
and no member Of Congress or any officer
| Except OF attorne y-at-law or in the milital
under the United States or this Common
wealth shall be member Of either House
during his continuance lin Congress or in
Office and no member of the Senate or House
OF Representatives shall be appointed by the
Governor TO any Office during the term for
which he shall have been elected."l
Thus far there had been no change from
the old Constitution, and the disability OF
members Of the General Assembly was con
fined to new offices, to Offices of increased
compensation and to offices within the gilt
OF the Governor of the State. Bat, after
reference Of the article to a committee and
upon third reading, the section was subject
ed to radical changes; lor all parts above
indicated in brackets were struck out leay-
ing the section much more sweeping in its
operation, and, at the same time, more SIM
pie and condensed in its terms and it then
stood upon the sound, salutary principle
that no member of either House should be
tempted by ambition or self interest, with
reference to the obtainment of any civil Of
nee Of appointment under this State, during
his official term.
AS finally passed by the Convention and
adopted by the people, the section therefore
stands in the following form;
Section 6, No Senator or RepreseG'ativ
shall, during the time for which he sh III
