Prot. Enoch Martin, who resided on Sun
Fish Greek, about three miles from Claring-
ton, heard that his brother, who lives about
one mile distant from him, had committed
suicide. BE sent his son to learn if tie re-
port was true, but while he was gone, dread
ing the intelligence that bis boy would bring
back, he went to the creek, took of his
clothes, and laid down il eighteen inches Of
water, remaining until life was extinct.
The boy returned with the news that his
brother had attempted suicide BY cutting
his throat with razor, but was in 8 fair
way 10 recover. 1t seems that suicidal
mania runs in the family, as Prof Martin s
father hung himself in barn, and this is
the second attempt of Lsuion Martin 10

COLD POISON
Administered by a Doctor to a
Patient.
A Peculiar and Veg Serious case---A
Family Poisoned---Safe Blown
Burned to Death---The Grant
County Assassins.

A strange case of accidental poisoning
in which the physician unintentionally ad-
miristered the dose also fell victim to his
own medicine, comes to rs from Morgan
town. About q week sgo DR.. Allsup, who
resides near Morgansewn, and whom the
Post charscterizes as an eccentric dlspeu-
ser Of medicine" was called in to prescribe
for Mr.. Moses Wells who was suffering
from heart disease. DR.. Allsup admins
tered q white powder. which, he afterwards
alleged, consisted with opium mixed with
chalk. Shortly after Mr.. Wells took the
medicine he was seized with violent cramps
in the stomach, and became delirious, and
in his frantic efforts for relief, as he surged
and plunged aboutin bed, he fell to the floor
and disleeated his shoulder. Meantime his
wells had almost set the household crazy;
the reighberhood was aroused, and eouriers
were hastily sent out for physician. ALI
sup had, soon after giving the medicine,
taken his departure, and the case
becoming desperate, DR.. Fitch was
summoned. DR.. Allsup, however.
soon heard OF the trouble, and presented
himself at the house. bat was not admitted
He was told Mr.. Wells was poisoned, but
laughed at the idea, saying the Medicine
was perfectly harmeless. Under Dr.. Fheh's
care Mr.. Wells was finally restored to con-
seriousness and in few hours Was much
better.
Later in the day Drs. Fitch aud Allsup
met in the Office of Dr. Kelley, in Morgan
town, and Allsup declared he could not
have made mistake in the medicine, aud
to attest his confidence in 1t he produced
quantity of the powder aud swallowed 1t
Soon after the three physicians separated,
and Allsup started for his residence up the
river. The MorgantoRn Post tells what
subsequently occurred in the following way:
Before the Doctor reached Stnngtown

ribs. With fear and trembling he plodded
on until he came TO Lewis W. Runners,

ance, and eagerly inquired for milk. Over
a quart was produced, which he eagerly
drank. Soon he became rigid and his
stomach distended Clark Hess rushed to
town and secured DR.. Fitchs services. The
Doctor soon arrived and found the old hero
of Grassy Island near deaths door. DR..
Fitch administered hypodermic injection
and gave the required emetic, and soon the
medicine was elected from AllSups s:om-
ach and he was saved from death, being
able 10 proceed home the next day. The

During the past week Senator VOORHEES,
has been engaged in a murder trial at Msdi-
sOnville. KY, acting as counsel for the &C
cused. His remarkable abilities and advo-
cate are thoroughly known to the entire
country, and his eloquence has been heard
at the Bar Of many States outside of Indiana.
His service in public life has covered per-
iod OF history in which many of his politi.
cal contemporaries, who started as poor in
this worlds good as he, have acquired large
fortunes. Let any one call over the list OF
public men, who have been prominent dur
ing the last quarter of a century, and see
how many of them can be named who are
without Ths faint OF suspicion. Unhappily
they are few, but foremost among them IS
Senator Voorhees,. Tear after year he has
cod before the people of his own State as a
champion of Democratic principles, and to
give an account of his own public acts. But
in no campaign hiss he ever been compelled
TO make explanation or apology for his con-
duct. He has returned to his constituency
at the olose of every session of Congress with
clean hands and increased reputation. Ger.

well sustained and unassaiieble public re-
