DOseu with Arsenic.

Recently Professor Charles Dwight, a
well known and skilled chemist of this
city, received half teacupful of tea
from Clarksburg. this State, for the pur-
pose of having it analysed, in order to
ascertsia if it contained any deadly pol
son. The tea was sent by the Prosecut-
ing Attorney of Harrison. Upon an
Analysis it was found TO contain two
grains of arsenic to half cuptull, which
is sufficient to kill at least twenty per-
sons. Upon careful inquiry, it was ascor-
tanned by REGISTER reporter that
the family OF Judge Gideon d. Camden,
of Clarksburg, had drank freely of Il
quantity OF the tea, and had become very
sick, so sick that physician was called
in, VINO Immediately pronounced the
sickness case OF poisoning from arsenic.
AS the family had drank enough Of it to
vomit them, all danger was passed and
they now enjoy their usual health. 1t
seems that domestic, who had some
misunderstanding with the head of the
family had taken this means by which to
become avenged and the mixture was
not noticed until symptoms Of poison
were manifest. Proceedings will be in
stltuted to bring the guilty party to JUS
tice, as the fact of poison in the tea has
been ascertained by a competent chemist.

The Singing Sensation

In the gullet called "heartburn" why, It
is impossible 10 conceive, since the heart
has nothing TO do with IT, Is caused by the
acetous fermentation IN the stomach OF
the food contained in It; by an overplus
Of the gastric Juice, which is itself a
powerful acid, or by the unnaturalIy acrid
quality OF that secretion. The ordinary
way OF treating this symptom, for II Is
nothing else, IL 10 administer bi carbonate
Of soda, an a!kali, 70 neutralizs the acid.
But sour stomach cannot be cured by
alkslis, which tendsio weaken the diges-
tive apparatus. A tar better remedy Is
Hostetter's stona ch Bitter, which
strengthens the cellular membrane. the
seat OF the dificulty, regulates the How OF
the gastric secretion, improves the quality
IL vitIated, and puts the stomach into
good working order. Perfect digestion
follows as q natural sequence, and there ID
no more trouble from heartburn or sour
stomach. The liver and bowels are also
thoroughly regulated by this sovereign
Alternative.

More Attempted BuTgIaIies.

About one o'clock yesterday morning,
Mr.. j. q. Hess, the well known confec-
toner OF Market street, was aroused from
his sleep by hearing loud noise at his
front store door. He hastily arose and
discovered crowd numbering some six
or eight persons, all OF whom seemed
anxious to effect an entrance. AS MIR.
Hess approached the door with revolver
in hand they beat hasty retreat.
No less than three separate attempts
were made to gain burglarious en-
trance into Mr.. Thos. Burke's residence,
Centre Wheeling, during Tuesday night.
Mr.. Burke is the assistant manager OF
the Belmont furnace, and his duties at
the forge and other places frequently
csll him from home at night. 1t is pro-
per to state that as the forge is not run
ming this week, he was attending to other
duties on this occasion. While Consta-
Bile Cooper was walking on Main street,
near the Belmont, on the night
named, about nine o'clock, his
attention was attracted by the
stealthy approach of man who
seemed to be in his stocking feet,
He had hardly time to collect his
thoughts before the man hurried across
the street and entered the yard of the
residence formerly occupied by Mr..
Geyer, which sdjoins that of MIR. Burke,
and fastened the gate behind him, de-
liberately tying il with rope. All this
time Mr.. Cooper was watching him, and
he was not greatly surprised to see him
take hold of one OF the window sash at
Mr.. Burke's house and try to raise it.
The officer at once gave chase, but the
would-be burglar escaped. As Mr..
Burke's children were alone in
the house Mr.. Cooper, by their
request, remained in the vicinl-
ty until his return. Before he got
back, however, the man made second
attempt to get into the house. This was
at twelve o'clock, and he was frightened
oil by the outcries of the children, and
the movements OF Mr.. Thomas V.
Wenzel, who had arisen, thinking it to
be daylight. The final attempt was
made about one o'clock, when chase was
again made for the rascal, and be was
followed across the bridge and shot at
several times, but without, 80 far as is
known, being struck. He succeeded in
making good his escape. Those who saw
the man say that he is stranger in
Wheeling, and that they could easily
recognize him in daylight, If oppOrtuni-
ty offers.
