A Curious Case of Poisoning.

The Niagara Falls Gazette gives the
particulars of curious case of poisoning
which occurred in that village a few days
ago. The wife of a prominent merchant
was suddenly taken i'll a short time after
supper, and, her symptoms rapidly grow
ing more and more serious, DR.. Rice was
summoned. He Immediately detected
symptoms of poisoning, and upon ques-
tioning into the character of the food
the lady had eaten fer supper learned
that none of the family had been able to
drink the tea that had been served that
evening, on account of a peculiar taste
pleasant. The singular favor was first
noticed by daughter ofthe lady referred
to, but not until her mother had drank
half cup of the decoction. The doctor
Immediately made an investigation into
the contents of the tea-kettle, and found
that good sized cigar stub had been
boiled with the water that had subse-
quently been used in making the tea for
use at supper. Upon making this dis
c0very the dangerous condition of the
suffering lady became apparent, and most
| StIcuuOus tuOItS were mdue 10 Save uci
life. For some time it was feared that
the poison would battle every effort OF
medical skill, but strong constitution
finally triumphed, and at length the lady,
who had suffered terribly, was declared
out of danger. The cigar stub which
caused all the trouble had been carelessly
| deposited on the hot water tank of the
stove by the husband of the lady, and
had subsequently been knocked in the
tea kettle without attracting any notice

NORWICH Bulletin: The crowning of
the May queen passed off very pleasantly
in Killingly, CT. We do not remember,
just now, any record of queen mount
ing her throne dressed in a waterproof
and pair of rubbers, with slice of
pork done up in red flannel around her
throat; but these old historical costumes
always.strike one strangely at first.

3 enator Bayard,

What is Bayard? The Hottest and The
purest name before the convention. One
who would represent the traditions of the
past and the hopes of the future, and
whose presidency would be revival of the
spirit of the revolution; somewhat eager
on the war questions, who sees only the
ruined mansions on the southern pIanta
tons and forgets about the cabins. Bay
ards nomination would mean an d-fash-
Toned Democratic fight without compromise
or degradation. 1t would be chivalrous
fight worthy of Roncesvales. But would
it be winning fight? 1t is tot a Mara
thon that is wanted by the Democrats, but
an Austerlitz, and Tilden will give us that.

Good Morning.

Don't forget to say Good morning. !
Say it to your parents, children. mates,
nelghbors, and every acquaintance: say
1t cheerily and with a smile. 1t will do
you good and do them good. 1t helps to
make the morning good, the day brighter,
and all your work lighter. But don't
make the mistake of OVERRIDING the
salutation and making it nauseous by
shaking hands. Hand shaking is vastly
overdone in this country. 1t is an init
mate and familiar greeting, proper for
friends after separation, but highly i'm
proper for mere acquaintance, and alb
surd for any people in daily contact. To
most people it is an ostentation. show of
ceremony, or an impertinent familiarity,
and, IN nine cases out of ten, offensive to
to the person to whom the hand is offered
and who is thus compelled to distastafui
performance.
