For some time after her execu-

peculiar notion of the Mohawks
that some great misfortune would
happen if any one spoke while
crossing Saratoga lake. A white
woman, who was ferned over by an
Indian, talked all the way, and on
arriving safely on the further shore
rallied her boatman on his super
stition. He simply grunted, "rhe
Great Spirit is merciful and knows
that the pale face woman cannot
hold her tongue" and then recross-
ed the lake in silence.

The bottle of strychDine found in
one OF our drug stores recently, was
supposed by some at first sight to be
the strych},ine which Foltz was &C
cused of stealing, but on examina-
ton it proved to be flour sprinkled
with observation-disclosures Cor. BO1tr-
bon Mirror.
1t is unfortunate that the above cor
respondent has closed his work, as
this well poisoning case has created
an immense excitement, and but
few Of the facts have had any publici
ty, and thus the public are kept in
the dark. The accusation is that
Foltz stole a bottle of strychnine
from Zehner's drug store and put the
contents in the pump of l.. w. Nc
Clure on the night OF Dec. 7th.
Mrs. McClure's statement is: "that
between 7 and o'clock she went to
the pump and pumped a cup OF
water, but as the water had been
roily all day, she took the water to
the light, and noticed white powder
floating on the surface. She threw
this out-pumped out some from the
pump, and caught another cup-full,
which contained more white powder.
This is supposed to be the cup
that was analysed. Now the poison
could not have gone lower than the
valve and two or three strokes of the
handle would have thrown that all
out. Now, why was not Mrs. Nc
CIure put on the stand? Why did
they not take the chemist to the well
and get the water for himself? Why
was the white powder found around
the pump not tested? How was it
that DO impurities were in the bottle
found in the drug store until after it
had been returned to Argos by mail
and handled by number OF parties?
Why did the LaPorte chemist swear
that the bottle contained pure
strychnine and that it was never OPEN
ed except by an expert? How was it
that the prosecutions were so badly
mistaken about the color OF the
wrapper around the bottle? How
was 1t that among large crowd in
the store at the time Foltz was in
there, that no one saw him take the
bottle Of strychnine? A lucid answer
to these questions might change
public opinion, but as Foltz estab-
lished complete alibi and defence
to every point 10 the prosecution, the
public will not be likely to believe
that he was in any way connected
with IT, 1t would probably be better
to let the judges decision settle the
case. AsAPH SPADES.

The following letter from Rev. G.. W. Mansfield,

wonderful curative qualities of vegetine as a thor

HYDE PARK, MASS, Feb. Is, 1875.
Dear Sir-About ten years ago my health failed
through the depicting effects of dyspepsia; nearly
year later was attacked by typhoid-fever In its
worst form. II settled in my back, and took the
form of large deep-seated abscess, which was ff-
teen months In gathering. l had two surgical OPP

no permanent cure. suffered great pain at times,
and was constantly weakened by a profuse dis
charge also lost small pieces of bone at differ

Office, and talk with you of the virtue of vegetine.

manufactory, noting the Ingredients, &c, by which
your remedy is produced
BY what saw and heard gained some conf

commenced taking II soon after, but felt worse
from its effects; still fpersevered, and soon felt il
was benehtting me In other respects. Yet I did
not see the results desired till had taken IL faith
fully for little more than year. when the diff.

During the past few weeks had a scrofulous

of my body.

with the surface in month. think i should have
been cured of my main trouble sooner If had Ia

Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney

An Unbiased Opinion.

From Comley's Biographical Ency-
clopedia of the distinguished men OF
the Empire State, we clip the follow
ing: Every nation owes its peculiar
character, its prospefity-in brief,
every thing that distinguishes it as
an individual nation-to the few men
belonging to it who have the courage
to step beyond the boundaries pres
cribed by partisanship, professional,
traditions, or social customs. In pro-
fessional, no less than In political
life, there occasionally arise men who
burst the letters OF conventionalism,
Indignantly rejecting the arbitrary
limits imposed upon their activity,
and step boldly forward into new
fields of enterprise. We call these
men seJ-mdde. The National claims
them as her proudest ornaments

peace for her glory, in war for. her
