Staked OF His Grave and Killed Him.
self

HAMPTON, Aug. 16.-Last spring
a large number of farmers of Barn
well County, ). C., engaged in truck
farming on a large scale, planting
immense quantities of melons for
shipment North and West. The
competition was so great, however,
that the scheme failed and many
farmers lost heavily. Among the
latter was one named Peacock, who
grew so respondent over his misfor-
tune that on Saturday last he walk
ed out into his field, cleared a spot
of ground and staked it off for his
grave. He returned to his house,
made his will, took heavy dose of
morphine and lay down upon his
bed. He then called his mother,
and told her what he had done,
gave directions for the disposition of
his body, and would not allow a
physician TO be summoned. He
died that day and was buried in ac-
cordance with his directions Tues
day.

Poison in Flour.

A mysterious illness has been dis
turbing a small community in
France. One member after another
sank, while presenting the usual ap-
pearance of lead-poisoning without
any apparent cause. The doctors
who were called in could not make
much OF the symptoms, except that
they seemed to proceed from some
food which had been taken. BY
process of inductive reasoning and
by exhausting the causes which
were found out to have operated
upon all the sufferers, suspicion at
last fell upon bread. An examina-
tion was accordingly held at the
bakers premises, but they having
been found blameless, the inquisi-
tors next proceeded to attack the
miller, and here, at last, a diligent
inquiry brought to light the cause
of ali the mischief. Finding that
his millstones had cracked in some
places, and that the purchase of new
stones would be somewhat costly,
the miller had adopted the plan OF
filling up the chinks with melted
lead. The lead had in the course of
grinding naturally got mixed with
the flour, and had so found its way
at last into the loaves distributed TO
the population. The tale is inter-
esting as showing the pertinacity Of
particles of lead in clinging to any
substance with which they may get
mixed. 1t is still more noteworthy
than the case of lead-poisoning
which occurred in Paris not long
ago, when it was found that a baker
had warmed his oven with old
boards that had been painted with
white lead, and that the residue of
the lead lying in the oven had pene-
trated into the crusts of the loaves.

A Mysterious Affair.

KULING. Texas. Aug. 15.-Yester-
day afternoon Lawrence Denman
met Rev. Il. q. Sewell on the street,
and drawing a forty-four calibre
navy revolver fired at the minister
four times, inficting wounds which
in IA short time caused his death.
The causes leading to the shooting
are of domestic nature and can
only be published on the trial of the
case. No one blames Denman, and
vet Mr.. Sewell is regarded as the
victim of a conspiracy, as he asserted
in the ante-mOrten statement. Both
parties are highly connected. Mr..
Sewell was a Methodist clergyman
and the local agent OF the American
Bible society.

GRAY HAIR.

Some of the dust from the road of life
Has fallen upon my hair,
And silver threads from my raven locks
Are cleaning out here and there;
And oh, these meshes of silver gray
Tell of the moments flown .ual
Of the day that's drawing to close,
And the night that's coming on.
But the coming night seems cold and dark
And my heart is filled with tears,
As thought flies backward on weary wings
0ier the waste of vanished years; @
And in the castle of Memory frs
Few jewels are treasured there; H
But dross and rubbish that tell OF earth
Are visible everywhere. .t- F.
Even on the faithful register
That hangs in Memory's hall,
find only worthless deeds are traced
They are dark and blotted all.
Hence, as approaches the eve of life,
Nv spirit shrinks back with fear,
For threatening clouds O erspread the sky,
And the night seems very near.
BY faith turn-in the rosy East
A beautiful star see
Stand Ger the manger in Bethienem,
And it seems TO shine for me;
And from the city of golden spires,
Where gates just now are ajar,
catch a radiant beam oflight
From the bright and morning star.
And when.upon Jordan's restless wave
| shall launch my way-worn bark,
The dust from the road of life " shall fall
From my tresses long and dark;
And the lines of care upon my brew,
And the pain within my breast,
Shall pass away as my bark draws near
This beautiful land of rest.

HUNTINGDON, Aug. 17.-Attempts
at robbery have been made in this
city almost nightly during the last
week. None were successful, how

Judge Black was in 1873 elected a
member of the Pennsylvania Consti-
tutional Convention on the Demo
cratic ticket of Delegates at large
and he lowered aloft in tnat distin-
guished assemblage of Pennsylva-
MAS representative men. In COM
ipany with Woodward and Buckalew
and men of that stamp he vigorously
pressed the legislative reforms so
greatly needed in the Common
wealth. His remarks on legislative
bribery, the aggressive power of cor
porations in collusion with political
rings and kindred subjects we're in
his chara cteristic vein and contribu-
ted much to the general tone of the
conventions conclusions. He zeal
ously supported his favorite propo-

conscience-clearing oath to members
of the Legislature after their terms
had expired, but his colleagues
would not adopt it. Professional
