WINDSOR, Vt, Sept. Is. A case of
poisoning caused no little excitement here
today. John Hubbard, formerly a resi-
dent of Windsor, recently removed to
Claremont, New Hampshire. His wife
has spent the summer in Malone, n. y,
and last week returned to her new home.
About II o'clock to-day John left home
with the intention Of spending Sunday
here. AS he took leave Of his wife she
urged him to take a luncheon. She gave
him a bag of cookies. When within
mile and a half Of Windsor he ate his
luncheon and Immediately felt bad symp-
toms. Seeing a friend in a corn field he
determined to reach him, but had convul-
sions and was Frustrated. Being taken
to Windsor, physicians were summoned
who found the symptoms showed case

Some Remarkable Democrats.

The Progressive Age makes the ac-
qualntancc of very peculiar classes of
Democrats. For instance, it says
Quite number of the Democrats of this CITY
Monday, accepted the issue made up by the Jour
nal upon the question Of increasing the debt Of the
city for the unnecessary project of bringing water
into the city, and either refused to vote the Demo
cratic ticket and stayed at home, or voted on the
side of the Age
These We're queer chaps, to attempt to
decide Il municipal question in an cleo
ton held only for the choice of State and
county officers They doubtless believe
that Gov Connor will issue proclama-
ton commanding all citizens to refrain
from any attempt at water supply, con-
and comprehensive curse on all streams.
springs and ponds,
The reader of the Age is still in the
maZes Of establishment, when he is called
upon to wrestle with the following sur
prising announcement
An old Democrat who is an intelligent man in
this city, and who for forty or more years had
never voted any other than the straight Demo
cratic ticket, Monday, went to the polls, and en-
tirelv unsolicited, east his vote for the whole Re
publican ticket, remarking that he believed we
have an honest President, who faithfully at
tempting to correct abuses and have an honest
government.
Here is recorded specimen who de-
liberately voted for the gubernatoral
candidate whose nomination was dictat-
ed by Blaine, the chief antagonist of the
President, and made 10y a convention that
voted down a resolution endorsing the
course Of Mr.. Hayes. This the old Demo
crat did, ''remarking that he believed we
have an honest President, who is faith
fully attempting to correct abuses and
have an honest government. And he is
complimented for his course by the Age,
a paper that Il few weeks ago declared
that the Maine convention had ''repudi-
ated both the national platform and ma
tional administration" This remarkable
Democrat voted against Gov. Williams,
who stood upon platform which APP
proved the course Of President Hayes, in
the one important question of his admin
istration thus far. If these voters are
not creatures of our neighbours heated
imagination, we should really like to have
their photographs, as specimens of the
Democrats who are led by close reason
ing and persuasive eloquence to ''vote on
the side OF the Age"

1t is confidently believed that a revival
of business in this country will commence
when the immense grain crops Of the west
seek a market. 1t is we'll known that the
wheat crop Of Europe is much smaller
than usual, and that the supply which
the grain importing countries have drawn
from the Black Sea region are cut off by
the war. There cannot fail to be ready and
profitable markets for the large surplus of
this country. England alone will need
ninety million bushels from some source,
and will prove our best customer. A
great advantage to the trade and people
of the United States will surely be realized

The Turco-Russian War.

PleYna, IN Bulgaria, has again proved
Turkish Sevastopol and almost a Rus
sian Bull Run. Occupied originally bv
the Turks under Osman Pasha, through
the understandable neglect of the Rus
sians and hastily fortified in such man
ner as to make it essential to a Russian
advance that it should be rctaken for a
whole week it has successfully resisted
the combined assault of a hundred thou
sand Russians, with a loss to them of at
least $1,000 men, and to the Turks of not
far from 10000 The fighting on Tues
day and Wednesday of last week over
the redoubts captured by the Russians,
and one rccaptured by the Turks, was
terrific beyond measure involving at these
points alone loss of nearly 1000 on each
side. Out of 3d. 600 Russians in the first
assault, every sixth man was killed.
such desperate fighting on both sides
has rarely been known in any war. I'm
less the Russians are speedily re Enforced,
there is danger that the two Turkish
armies under Suleiman Pasha and Me-
hemet Ali, advancing to the aid Of Plev-
ma, will compel the Russians to retreat,
and thus bring the Russian summer cam
paign to a disastrous close.
Gen. SkobelOtf, lost 2O0O men in attack
ing the redoubt, and 1000 more in hold
ing it. There was an immense proper
ton Of officers killed or wounded. Only
one commander Of a regiment is alive,
and scarcely a head of Il battalion left.
Two staff officers We're killed. One was

Looking impartially at the facts as
presented this morning to the public, we
are unable to form any other conclusion
than that the attack on Plevna has not
only failed, but so failed that it cannot be
renewed under the conditions in which
the Russian commander finds himself
placed. He has attempted what the great
German commanders never attempted in
their French campaign and has used I'D

The Mitchell scandal, us it is called,
came nigh unrooting Milwaukee society,
but it was compromised by the husbands
father settling two thousand year on the
young wife, but not till terrible stories
impeaching the chastity of ladies leading
in society had been told, enumerating in
stances OF their conduct at balls, parties
and sleigh rides that made the thickest
painted cheeks blush with shame. The
affair threatened to disrupt many families.
when old Alexander Mitchell, the banker
and railroader and Congressman, who is
estimated at sixteen millions, shut down
on it by a settlement of SO much cash in
hand annually The trouble came from
John, the State senator, giving himself to
his cup and his women, till he was lost to
all sense of decency and kicked his wife
out of doors. 1t Was perhaps well for her,
for he had already, rumor says, employed
an assassin to take her off. The affair
shows two things in Milwaukee, the evil
effects of much money and much liquor
in the hands Of a worthless and idle
young man, and the state Of society in
upper tendon towards the Mississippi.
The scandal there created us great a SEN
satlon as the Beecher trial did in the
East.
