Sunday evening the entire family OF
James SERGEANT was poisoned and Mrs.
SERGEANT is in a precarious condition still.
Emetics and antidotes We're administered
freely and only the prompt attention OF
the physician saved four persons from
horrible death. When Mr.. SERGEANT, who
was the least affected. recovered suffi-
GENTLY TO talk inteligently, Ii was found
that the entire family had eaten pork
chops for supper. This food was pur-
probably good meat when taken from the
butcher shop. DIR. Suits thinks. how
ever. that the meat had been laid on tin
which had rusted and this caused the
terrible sickness with which the family
were afflicted. Mr.. SERGEANT had almost
entirely recovered from the effects of the
poison. but Miss Rhode, daughter,
aged fourteen years, was still very sick,
while Mrs. SERGEANT was in such a con-
ditiOn that her recovery could by no
means be predicted.-Ft. Wayne Gazette.
Saturday the men employed in removing
gravel from the old 5. Seventh-st. ceme-
terry came across the end of something
that looked like a cannon. When it was
entirely unearthed it was found to he an
iron coffin OF ancient pattern. Il had
probably been there for thirty years. The
iron lid was removed from over the glass.
The face Of the deceased was in fair state
Of preservation and was that of a young
lady with very glossy black hair. Part
OF the dress, a silk garment, could be
seen. The discovery created an excite
ment and collected a crowd. Mr.. Nc
Donald. who was at work in the cemetery
about six years ago, says a lady called
on him who was seeking this iron Clilln.
She said it contained the remains Of her
daughter. y search was instituted, but 1t
could rot be found. Others think the re-
mains are those of Miss Camm9ck. the
daughter of IN artist who assisted Tnsco
Williams on the panorama of the bible

a republican. expressed the most hopeful

they were so supremely blest with good
crops. or when you hear less complaining

An old soldier. a republican and a prom
inent citizen OF Rockport, stood on the |
court house steps the other day sur
rounded by a crowd composed chiefly of
republicans and cd soldiers and made the |
following remark: Gentlemen, ! a
republican. served my country through the
rebellion. believe in exact justice in al, |
things, and l am going to cast my vote |
for Mr. Taylor for congress because he has |
been the greatest friend to the soldier of |
any one who has represented this district. |
Every letter 1 wrote him was promptly F!
answered and the desired information fur
nished Immediately. Praise to his cred |
table record comes not only from our dis |
trict, but from abroad, which shows that |
ne is sincere in his friendship. The SOL |
diers should remember him with graft |
tude and as he has he'd the office only |
one term / think 10 nothing but justice |
to return him TO his seat in Congress"
This is the sentiment of many veterans. |
and 1t is certainly gratifying to Mr.. Tay- |
Tor to be- remembered by such kind eX- |
pressions OF appreciation for his valuable |
services in behalf Of the worthy soldiers |
while in congress.-Rockport Democrat.
