MUSHROOM PoIsoNING.-During last
summer fifteen persons were killed IN
France by eating fungi which were be-
lieved to be the edible mushroom. The
fungus eaten in some Of the cases was OF a
kind which is ordinarily wholesome, but
which develops poisonous qualities under
certain conditions In cooking, common
test for poison is piece of silver, which
theory asserts will become blackened when
placed in the vessel containing poisonous
forms of fungi. This test has proven to be
unreliable, as in several OF these French q
cases it was applied and the silver renamed
unaffected, while the mushrooms killed
those who ate them.

A Swedish naturalist, DR.. Willie, has in

Day r. o. Items.

First, correction We are told there was
an error in these items last week, made be-
tween writer and informant. That the law
suit therein referred to was an executor VS..
Mrs. NJ. A. Coulson, who brought Mr.. w.
Coulson as her counsel, who conducted the
defence and addressed the court in behalf of
his fair client. .t.
We have inst passed Day postoffce a second
time by road we never travelled but once
before, and, on complaining of its condition,
were told that the best roads in the vicinity
had been impossible on account of mud within
the last two months, but the soil looks like it
was of the kind not to retain water unduly nor
suffer from drouth.
We see some fine fields of wheat here, COM
parable with the best on the limestone lands,
but lime has wonderful effect here, proof of
which we trace all along the road to the county
seat. We passed Winfield, a business little
place.
Defiance, a mile below, has the advantage
of a fine Odd Fellows Hall, and Ebenezer
Church, lying between, is a place of worship
for both. There was church meeting there
on the 24th ult.; we were told it was to make
arrangements to repair the ancient-looklng
edifice. 1t needs it. Below we encounter a
rough pine board box, which we would have
called sheep house but for the glass win
dows, and learned that it was primary school
house of the ancient type, and the imprecation
breathed upon designer and architect for such
use of public funds was more inclined to pro-
woke a smile than elicit reproof.
Below Day another sheep house, which,
from family resemblance, we judged to be of
the same parentage and brought en-up''
presented front These should be torn down
before they fall down and put many fond
parents in mourning for their slain children:
Next we pass handsome residences and
find ourselves at Woodbine, which has been
termed "a suburb Of Lisbon" Quite ro-
mantle and business suburb. Did not see
the main city, but from all appearance, the
suburb is as important to the city as the city
can be to the suburb-the latter being an
important station on the B. & o. R. R.

D. Y. Bitner, proprietor of the Central
House at this place, has sold out, to-
gether with all his furniture, to W. W. Teach.
Possession given on the 18th of June next.
Messrs. Frick & Co. on Monday last shipped
FIVE car loads of machinery, consisting of the
Eclipse traction engines, separators, horse
powers and saw mills, to one agent in Ten
nessee. They are shipping from two to three
car loads day, and running their works to
fullest capacity, and still cannot fill the de-
mand. The Geiser Co. are also doing big
business; have for the past month been build
ing from twenty-five to twenty-eight engines a
week, also great many horse-powers, sepa-
rators and saw mills.
On Saturday last we had the pleasure of
witnessing the first successful trial of the
steam plow 1t was tried on Mr.. Clayton farm
near this place. 1t was a combination OF
seven plows, drawn by one of the Peerless
Traction Engines. The entire work can be
accomplished by two men, and it does its
work nicely and fast.
st. Johns Lutheran Church of this place is
to be repaired shortly. 1t has been decided
to erect tower in front of it los feet high, all
of brick, and at the rear of the church will
also be built an addition for a recess pulpit,
and the whole interior will be made over and
frescoed, with gas and chandeliers, new car
pet, &c.
There is a great deal of building going on
here at present, and it will continue during
the summer. There is over one hundred new
houses to be built. Why should we not boast
of the fast improvement of our little town.
Hurrah for Waynesboro!
