MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

BriefS.-The general run OF affairs in
this city yesterday was unusually dull and
mOnOtOnous. Not even temporary but
heated discussion on state politics east 4
ripple on the placid surface Of city life.
The ardent glances OF the sun did not adj
nit OF any local patriot dwelling too long
at exposed corners OF Hull street and saving
the country. Things in this familiar line
will become more active as the summer
wanes and the ides OF November loom up.
There was no case before Mayor Taylor
yesterday.
The building selected for the accommO-
dation OF all the public free schools is being
refittcd and fixed up for the sencgambians
who are expected to inbabit 1t in September
next.
Councilman Edward Gallagher is quite
sick and suffers very much from an atfec-
ton OF the throat.
Mr.. James Galloway, who was Sninstruck
Monday, was reported very i'll yesterday.
\ called meeting Of the City School
Board will be held Friday night.

COALITION CONFERENCE.-The morning
the Coaltionists will hold Convention at
Henrico courthouse for the purpose Of
nominating a congressional candidate to
represent the black-and-white Coalition
Republican party in the coming campaign
in the Third district.
II is understood that Judge James NJ.
Gregory OF Chesterfield. Judge Welsh OF
Caroline county, and Mr.. John Amber
Smith are the most prominent candidates
for the nomination.
Yesterday q number OF delegates and al
ternates from the adjacent counties came
TO town, and it is fair to presume that there
will be full attendance Of the faithful fol-
lowers Of Malone.
The struggle for the nomination is really
amusing, seeing that whoever is the sue
cessflIl candidate will only be put up to be
knocked over by the Democratic candidate.
Notwithstanding all this severe fight will
be made for the nomination, and the Co
alitionists will go to work with as much
vim and earnestness rs though their chances
for success were equal to those OF the
Democrats. Such an exhibition OF energy
should not be thrown away upon their op-
ponents.

COMPANY "B" AT OLD POINT.-The

Company "B") who were 30 fortunate as
to get of from the cares Of business to
participate in the visit Of the company to
Old Point are having a most delightful
time at that place. 1t is indeed a season OF
pleasure and rest. No drills, no parades,
no strict military scipline-recreation
and enjoyment in the highest degree rules
the hour. The only drawback TO the
pleaSurabe emotions Of the occasion is the
thought which at times obtrudes itself
upon the mind that the day for return
inc is too rapidly drawing near. our
"boys" are comfortably quartered at the
IIygeia IN delightful suite OF rooms on
the first floor. and three times day they
make a vigorous and determined attack
upon the many good things de Ia eUiSine
served in the grand payilion-like dining
room. Surf-bathng is another and not the
least OF the numerous pleasures enjoyed,
and promptly between the hours st. for
this healthful indulgence the soldier laddies
may be seen riunging into the surging surf
and dispcrting Themselves 10 their hearts
content. Their general good beha-
yior is most fayorably commented upon by
the guests rs well as by mine host PhGbus.
who expresses himself highly pleased at
their gcntlemanly As well as soldierly con-
duet. The company numbers thirty-two
men, rank and file, and is commanded by
Captain Henry G. Jones, assisted by Lieu
tenants Dcrbyshire and Bargamin. These
officers, as well a. some Of the men, have
members Of their families with them shar-
ing the pleasures Of the trip. DR.. j..

piled to young married women who
were DESTROYS Of getting rid of their
husbands. The courts in those DAYS
were little better than Judge Lynch's
tribunals, SO that it is impossible 10
say whether their judgments were
we'll founded, but a dozen or
more women we're hanged, and scores
of Others were whipped through
the streets. About the same time
there was a similar outbreak Of poison
ing in France, which was not con.
trolled until over one hundred pris-
oners, chiefly women, had been sent to
the stake or the gallows. Early in the
eighteenth century a woman In Naples
carried on a large trade in poisons
and is supposed TO hava been con-
cerned in bringing about the deaths OF
over six hundred persons. She was
tortured to a confession and then
strangled. In every instance Of whole
sale poisoning, such as that reported
from Hungary, there has been found
some sellerof p%oisons responsible alike
for supplying the means and the sug-
gestlon ofthe murder. The poisons
used were always slow acting, fire.
quently administered. and SO gradually
undermined the health oftheir victims
that their deaths excited no suspicion
until the aggregate grew 80 large as to
cause Investigation.

1t is stated that, beginning with the
LIST Of September, a change is to BE-
made in the general passenger and
freight business ofthe East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia railroad. Here.
totOre the office Of general freight and
passenger agent has been held by Mr.,
James r.. Ogden, and the business has
all been under his supervision. The
business Of the combination has grown
to such an enormous extent, however
that it is more than one man can well
supervise. Consequently Mr.. A. Pope
formerly Of the Richmond and Dan
vile road, has been appointed genera
passenger agent, and will take charge
OF the passenger business. His head
quarters will be at Lynchburg, Va
Mr.. Ogden retains the position o

Houk's Poisoning.
Knoxville ChronioIe. 5.

The newspapers Of all parties, all
over the country, are poking fun at L.
OalabOose Houk, on his pizening dodge.
The indianapolis Times quotes Houk's
speech following, with the comments
given below:
1T is possibly true, my fellow
citizens, that | was in the station
house, but l tell you before God that
| have no recollection Of it. | was
poisoned, and for ten hours l did not
know anything under the sun, and il
may be that some Of the r~ascals who
poisoned me put me in the station
house while | was unconscious.
would have made this poisoning bust.
ness public long since, but l had
determined to prosecute the murderous
villains who attempted to take my
life, and l feared that if ! made il
public the assassins would escape"
by all means Judge Houk should
prosecute the bold, bad men who
poisoned him and caused him to be
put in the stationhouse, without his
knoSledge or consent. If such out
RACES on members of Congress are to
go UNPUBLISHED our institutions will
soon be destroyed, and the proud bird
OF freedom will desert our shores for
ever. Now that Judge Houk has
made a clean breast Of the matter, he
should hurry back to Washington and
prosecute the murderous villains"
The Times is a Republican paper,
