Nervous Excitement.

JaCRSo Mich, y Patriot.
Colwel, the ex-yardmaster, through
whose Encouragement the late terrible
accident resulted, on Friday appeared
in the yard at the junction in state of
high nervous excitement, and in hur-
ried and insane way began to open and
close switches, at the same time yelling
to the yard men to hasten the trains out
of the way as the express was coming.
He finally seemed to imagine that q
collision had occurred, and cried,
There they lie Don't you see those
dead women? Officer M. III. Rowan
was sent for, but before he arrived Col

occasion of the recent visit to this city
of Mr.. n ID Root, traindispatcher at
Michigan City, with whom Colwell is
acquainted, the latter assured him that
since the terrible disaster he wasunable
to obtain any refreshing sleep. He said
the instant ne lost consciousness he
could hear the noise of railroad trains;
then they would burst upon his sight
as they sped madly toward each other;
the signal Of whistles for switch and
break would next startle him, and in
stantly, with terrible crash the loco
motives would strike, when he would

noLIc ACID AND DIEs. "A distressing case
of accidental poisoning by swallowing
carbolic acid, the victim being the three
year old son of w. II. HeisIer, Cashier
of the Seventh National Bank, was re-
ported to the Coroner yesterday, During
the sumner, while Mr.. Heisler's family
were away, carbolic acid in various ves-
sells was distributed through the house to
prevent the ravages of moths in the car
pets, furniture coverings and winter gar
ments. The cnpful witch the child par
took of was under Bfa in the parlor,
and had been overlooked by the family
on their return from the country. On
Saturday the little fellow crept under the
sofa and drank some of the burning acid.
He sprang out and fell into commissions,
and the sickening odor of the disinfect-
ant told the story. Physicians were sent
for, who administered antidotes, but
without avail, and the child died on

CoRNs IN HoRsE's FEET.-Co1ns are
the result of bruise of the sensitive
part of the sole Of the horses foot, and
generally occur at the inside heel. They
are caused by the shoe. Among the
symptoms are redness or discoloration
of the horn at the inner angle of the
heel, more or less increased local heat,
tenderness, and consequent lameness.
When standing the horse is inclined to
favor the foot by slightly raising the
the heel from the ground. In soma
cases active inflammation and snppuration
may ensue, evidenced by the escape Of
matter above the hoof, where the hairs
join the same. In ordinary cases relief
may be obtained by proper attention to
the shoeing. Such 4 horse should be
shod regularly every three or four
weeks, Ike diseased parts carefully pared
down, but without starting the blood I;
and the shoe should be affixed so as not
to bear ON the inside heel.

Don't give the ball kick and send il

mother, who never ceases to think of
you, to care for you, who keeps You so
nicely clothed, and makes such nice
things for you to eat. What if she were

POISONING HER RELATIvEs.-Inves
cations in Madison county seem to indi-
cate that Mrs. Francis Shrouder, of Chit
tenango, not only poisoned her mother,
Mrs. Lowery Barnard, but also Mrs.
Pope, aged eighty, who died in July,
1876, and Mr. Barnard, who died over
year ago. DIR. Manlius Smith, of the
Syracuse University, found positive
traces of arsenic in Mrs Pope's stomach.
The old lady had $500 IN United States
bonds in her bed, which were never
found after she died. Mrs. Shrouder
spent money very freely after the funeral.
Mrs. Pope was buried in Truxton. Court
land county, the day after her death. 1t
is alleged that Chittenango man Sc
duced Francis at fourteen, and she lived
as his mistress for some time. Mrs.
Barnard opposed this, but her father up
held the girl. She is now twenty-five
years of age, and not very prepossessing
in appearance. At the recent term Of
court in Madison county she and her
husband were indicted for the murder Of
her mother. The testimony against her.
Is said to be very strong.

HER CHEEK. "A Paris letter says:
During the earliest days of Sarah Bern
hardts fame, gentleman in the audi
ence had the exceedingly bad taste to
persistently hiss her. She spotted"
him, found out his address, called at his
house and had IN interview alone with
him. wonder how he liked it, Then
and there she told him it was always her
endeavor to conscientiously do her duty
as historic artist and please the public,
that she regretted anything like failure
in that duty, and she would feel greatly
obliged if he would kindly point out her
defects, in order that she might correct
them. This spirited conduct won for
her another passionate admirer. An
other day she read in Partisan paper
that her hair was false and that her teeth
were far too good to be genuine. Next
day the dramatic critic was amazed to
behold lady dash into his room and let
down her hair in his presence. Pull
it!' she exclaimed, as she placed luxu-

ANNE BoLEYN AND HENRY WILL
wrote lately to your Majesty that if the
lady tAnne) could only be kept away
from Court for little while the Queen
might still regain her influence over the
King, for she does not seem to bear any
ill-will toward her. Quite lately he sent
her some cloth, begging her to have it
made into shirts for him. The lady,
hearing of this, sent for the person who
had taken the cloth--one Of the principal
gentlemen of the Northumberland al
though the King himself confessed that
the cloth had been taken to the Queen by
his order, she abused the bearer in the
Kings presence, threatening that she
would have him punished, severely. In
deed, there is talk, as am told, of dis
missing, to please the lady, some of the
officers of the royal household, and if so,
the said gentlemen will not be the last,
for some time back, the wife of the young
Marquis (of Dorset) and two other
ladies'. most devoted to the queen, and in
whom she found more comfort and con-

request dismissed from Court and sent
