A Case of Poisoning.

a case OF poisoning occurred in Fair
view township, York county, near Lis
burn, Cumberland county, which has
created considerable excitement in the
vicinity. 1t appears that Michael
Hart, his wife aud daughter had eaten
freely of applebutter, and were very
shortly after breakfast taken violently
ill, requiring immediate medical at
tendance. The doctor on arriving de-
ciared that the cases bad the character
istics of poisoning. Mr.. Hart was re-
lieved much sooner than his wife and
daughter, who were very sick, but not
regarded as dangerously SO. An eX-
animation Of the food eaten resulted in
the discovery of poisonous substance in
the apple butter, and when the crock
from which this had been taken was
investigated, it was discovered that
the glazing had peeled oil, aud this had
produced the poisoning, having been
eaten with butter A son oi Mr.. Hart's
who had not eaten Of the apple butter,
was not taken sick, which was regard
ed as still further proof that IL was
that which had caused the sickness of
the father, mother and daughter The
ALTAR caused considerable excitement
IN the nclghborhood, where Mr.. Hart
and family are very much respected.

Judge Coming, on the 18th inst.
In imposing sentence upon James
O'Brien, alias Lindsay, the periurer
in the celebrated "Morey" Chinese
letter case, yesterday, Judge Coming
spoke as follows:
The case is one in which the perjury
was of the most dangerous character,
and one which affected the result of
the National election In imposing
such heavy sentence for the offense,

against going upon the stand in a

such enormous interests" Assistant

been announced in no less than twen-

A cdstom obtains in Michigan,
Nebraska, and perhaps other Western
States, which it would do no harm to
introduce in the older States. The
Governors Of these States select and
set apart day each spring, which is
called 'Arbor Day. on which the peo-
pie generally are expected to plant trees
for ornament, protection and shade.
The spirit of emulation thus encourag-
ed among the people cannot but result
in the planting oflargr numbers Of trees
and shrubbery. to beautify, benefit and
enrich the respective communities
which observe the practice-a very
commendable one, all will admit. Last
Wednesday was 'Arbor Day in Nebras-
ka, while Thursday. the 2Sth inst, is
the day set apart by Gov. Jerome, OF
Michigan, for the same purpose.

THE alternating Hungarian in the

DAYS without food or drink, woke up

his sumbers. Saturday he woke again
and felt such disgust with life on his
return to consciousness that he forth

the only convenient mode Of suicide
at hand. He did not quite kill himself
but will probably die. Whatever be-
comes Of him, he has puzzled the ply
scians more than did the late famous

his method Of escaping the ills Of life
by taking ten weeks nap could be
practsed by others, what blessing it
would be to poor people when times
are hard and victuals scarce. A whole
family could go TO sleep except one
member, who would need TO stay awake
TO look after the premises, answer the
door-bell and tend the fire. 1t is to be
hoped that this extraordinary Hunga-
rian will not sleep the sleep that knows
no waking until he has revealed the
secret OF his long trance. In one of

NECESSITY is the mother Of inven-
ton, and as apparent necessity is al
ways calling small boy in a direction
exactly opposite to that in which his
parents want him to be, the small boy
is consequently, inventive. The last
illustration Of this truth has been af-
fordcd by an eight-ycar-old boy who
was left for IN hour or two by his
mother to take care OF baby sister.
" hat called him away from his post
he declined to state, but what he did
before leaving was to lasten the baby's
dress to the floor by two or three stout
tacks 1t stands to reason that, after
being thus cared fer, the baby was un-
able to clutch -erosene lamp as a
play thing, to creep into an oven or to
drum upon the window glass with q
poker. More still, the infant did not
move at all. When the mother return
ed she may have quoted from Casabi-
anca, "The bov, OH where was heY'
but as for the baby, there she was.
Merely as an example that DO, Is worth
