Sunday afternoon the two sons, aged
respectfully seven and ten years, OF
Colonel Il. q. Bowers and a brother.in-
law OF the colonel's were taken alarm
ingly Ill with vomitlngs and every
sy mptom OF poisoning. Physicians
were hastily summoned, and the suf-
ferers relieved from their dangerous
attacks, though they have not entirely
recovered yet. II appears that some
member Of the colohels family had
prepared a dish Of chicken salad, OF
which the younger members OF
the family pnrtook rather heart
lily, with the above results.
The colonel was down town at the
time, and his worthy wife not feeling
very well, did not eat any Of the salad,
therefore they both escaped. The
physicians summoned explained the
cause OF the dish 80 strangely affecting
those who ate Of It, but as we are but
little versed in medical loreor phrases,
we will not attempt to give the ex-
PLANTATION, tut add that II was salts
factory and reasonable, and that the
sudden and severe illness was caused
by the salad standing too long after
being made before eaten, and the pos
sibility Of the fowl that composed part
Of the dish being slightly diseased.
We congratulate the colonel and bis
estimable wife on the escape Of their
children and kindred, and hope by this
morning that they have all entirely
recovered from the effects Of the re-
past.

A Brooklyn Dead Come to Life.

He lived with his parents on Adelphi
street. He told them he was going to the
Brooklyn theatre on the fatal Tuesday
evening. His body, OF pieces Of inciner-
ated humanity, were recognized as the I'M
fortunate youth. The father, mother, sis
ter all went into deep mourning. and fol-
lowed with other afflicted ones in the pub
lie cortege to Greenwood a week ago
Saturday. Friday afternoon a young man
with a bundle under his arm, got of a
Myrtle avenue car and took his winding
way up Adelphi street. His path was ex-
ceedingly corkscrewy, and he bumped
against SO many trees that he imagined
himself in a forest 1t was very evident
that as the familiar phrase is, che had
load aboard" He could carry it, but it
was such load as he ought to have made
two trips for. Finally he reached his own
door He mounted the familiar steps and
yanked the door bell. His sister who was
in the basement went up stairs. opened
the door, gave 4 scream, and tainted. The
resurrected individual did not know what
the matter was. He was very much as
tonished. "Wasa masser ?" querried he,
when the father, mother and the rest Of
the family rushed upstairs on hearing the
scream. ooh. you're not dead" cried the
assembled family. Don't you see I'm
dead-drunk ~ You wern't burned up in
the fire ?" "What lire?' The fire at the
Brooklyn theatre" Never heard of it."
The answer was perfectly true. The
young man had been on what the boys
call Il "to ot." and didn't know anything
about the fire. The family, OF course, are
happy, but are retcent His sisters are
delighted. for they can attend the Thir-
teenth Regiment hops and the church So

ESTABLISHED AUGUST "a, 1852.
Decline in The Price Of Nails.

The Iron and Nail Association reduced
the price Of nails 25c. per keg at their
meeting yesterday in Pittsburgh. The
late price was 81 s5, less 10 centa per ksg
discount on lots OF 200 kegs. It Is now
reduced to 50 90, less the same discount.
In reality the price is g so per key, as
nearly all dealers order 200 kegs at a
time, in order to secure the discount.
From this price there is further reduc.
tion Of 2 per cent. to those who pay with.
in ten days, making say s. 45 per keg for
nails as the card will now stand.
The tendency has been toward this
step for some time past, The late price
afforded inducements to Eastern manu-.
facturers To come west Of the mountains
with their nails. They have been deliv.
ering their goods in Chicago, and have
actually come aS near to this market as
Cumberland, Nd. This was poaching on
our preserves pretty strong, although we
should not forget to say that Wheeling
has probably shipped as many nails to
New York and Baltimore as Eastern
manufacturers have shipped west.
There has been a good deal Of com.
plant about the equalization of ireights
as between Wheeling and Pittsburgh on
one hand, and certain mills at Terre
Haute, Indiana, and BellvilIe, ILLINOIS,
on the other. This complaint will not be
cured, we presume, by the present reduc-
tion, and hence il the mills here and ut
Pittsburgh sliilclaim the right to equalize
freight, with those mills to competitive
points in the West, we do not see much
margin in the business from this time
on for anybody engaged in it. With pig
metal at S2l, nails at S245, and an
equalization of freights all arou nd, and
where is the margin to cut on?
