A colored woman named Maria Anderson died at Hannibal on Tuesday from the effects of poison which she took through mistake. She had been in the habit of taking a dose of cough medicine from time to time, and on the day in question asked her adopted daughter to get her the bottle containing the mixture, which she could not find. The old lady then made a search for the bottle, and on finding it took a swallow of its contents, and in less than half an hour thereafter she was dead. The bottle was found to contain a deadly poison and suspicion of foul play is entertained.

Just now, while cholera is raging in some parts of the land, and preventative sanitary measures should be inaugurated everywhere, those places that allow cholera breeding pools and sinks to go untouched, should be severely censured.
Barry is in that condition to-day, and many are making grievous complaint about it and severely blame the members of the present council. Now it is quite probable that if the men who are finding fault with the councilmen, were in their places, they would do just about as the council men do -- a little of nothing toward cleaning the streets -- and why.

Ed. Adag[illegible] -- A young liar left your quiet city a few days since for it few days recreation, and went to Quincy to have a good time, and no doubt fell in with some of the boys, judging from his appearance as I met him on his return. He had to wait some time at a certain railroad junction for a train and concluded he would enjoy himself in a [illegible] smoke to while away the lonely hours-as you know it is very [illegible] waiting for trains. This young man procured a Havana from his valise and began to puff away. For a few minutes all went well; bus soon he began to think that the room needed ventilating, and a little later he concluded that the room was altogether too warm for him and stepped out to try the fresh air; but this did not appear to relieve him. He soon came into stand near the stove and warm himself up, and take a good 'wamic' and he would feel better; but this he declined, seated himself, and soon he was heard to say, 'A sicker boy you never saw!' and inquired if we had a 'doctor in this here town.' He was informed that he could find Dr. Bowlware at the Johnson House, and soon the above said young man might have been seen wending his way toward the above named Johnson House to procure from the doctor something to alleviate his suffering. 'Never give it up, William -- such is life -- you will feel a great deal better when you get well,' was the advice from the attending doctor. The young man, however was able at 5:30P to take the train for his home a much better, if not a wiser man. Friend William, I advise you never to try smoking again. I swore off last Christmas.

HOME HAPPENINGS
A bill has been introduced into the General Assembly of this State to compel railroad companies to stop all passenger trains at every station on the line of their respective roads. The idea probably originated in the brain of some ambitious Cinncinnattus who lives at some way station comprised of a blacksmith ship and a country store, and who wants as much courtesy shown his little burg as is extended to a city of thousands. Should this become law, trains that now run from Hannibal to Toledo in seventeen hours would require double the time, and through passengers subject to this slow coach arrangement all because some buckwheat legislator wanted to see a palace car stand before his door.

James Hardbarger came up off Beebe creek the other day and much [illegible] extremely happy, swelled his muscles to a prodigious size, and made him totally oblivious to all external circumstances. He seized upon a little black dog and a strange dog at that, and choked the little brute unmercifully. A respected citizen expostulated with him whereat James shook his fist and swore he would choke all the dogs and whip all the men in Barry if he took a notion to. And then James addressed some obscene remarks to some ladies that were passing by. On Wednesday officer Kirtright went down after James telling him that the authorities here were anxious to see him. He consented to come up and Spire Ferris said it would be ten dollars and costs. That was just ten dollars more money than James had about him -- he was out of whisky too, and was the sorriest man that has been seen for a long time He didn't want to go to the calaboose, and was finally allowed to go home on his solemn promise to come back soon and pay his fine.

THE HADLEY COURTING AFFAIR AGAIN – DENIAL OF SQUIRE'S STORY
Mr. Editor -- Since the twin virtues modesty and dignity throw a curtain of diffidence around those Hadley maidens, who have been the subject of so much newspaper notoriety, allow me, as their friend, and in justice to them, to give a different and a correct version of the courting affair heretofore spoken of.
The Squire was right in two instances, and in two only, viz: it did take place on Saturday night, and there were two ladies interested instead of one, but as to the statements that one young man's hat was missing, or that they were forcibly detained by the young ladies seizing their coat-tails, forcing them into a chair, locking the doors, or hindering their departure in any way, is as false as the mind that conceived the fabrication contained in Squire's article. Equally untrue, also, is the assertion that these maids gave the young men an invitation to escort them to a neighbor's house or spend the evening with them. suffice it to say, as I detailed in a former article, these young men called at the house wherein dwelt the young ladies and prolonged their stay late the we small hours of the night unmindful of the hints of their fair companions as to the lateness of the hour, etc. It was not until the old family bedstead groaned the alarm of 12, that these gallants thought of going; then seizing their hats, they flew over gates and fences, through mud and bush, never halting until they arrived at home.
Now Squire, I will dismiss you, with this injunction, that in the future when you attempt to write about young ladies, confine yourself strictly to the truth, and respect them if you do not respect yourself.
Barry Adage, May 22, 1875, p. 3, c. 3.
SQUIRE RISES TO EXPLAIN
Mr. Editor -- Allow me briefly to reply to J. R.'s communication which was published in last week's ADAGE. Your correspondent, "J.R." is well known, and I will say, positively, that he has both lied and contradicted himself and I intend to pay no more attention to such barking [unknown] as lie. As to the Hadly Station affair, I have already stated the true facts in regard to it, but would not have done so if he hadn't started it. Now, J. R., I will dismiss you, but I must say you ought to have some respect for those of who you write, if have none for yourself.

Captain C. N. Clark received several specimens of a new species of bug which suddenly descended on one of his cornfields in the Say Bottom, and in twenty-four hours destroyed about 30 acres of young corn. This new pest is a small black bug encased in a hard shell when its wings are closed. It is armed with a long sharp sting, and burrowing into the ground at the roots of the corn, perforates the root with its sting, causing the blades to wilt and die as suddenly and completely as though stricken by a severe frost.

The Storm of Monday Night
From all quarters com reports of great damage done by the storm of Monday night never before within the recollection of the oldest settlers was there such constant, vivid and destructive lightning. The heavens seemed to be literally on fire. The day before had been so cold as to make a fire actually a matter of comfort. About five o'clock in the afternoon a heavy black cloud appeared in the north, but the rain did not set in here until about dark and then it came in torrents and it scarcely ceased raining during the entire night. Although the lightning struck in many place in this immediate vicinity we hear of no damage being done: but within a few miles of this place did considerable damage, and many strange freaks of the subtle fluid are reported. John Amerine, near Beverly, had twenty hogs killed. They were all running up a path one after another, and one stroke killed them all. A post near the head one was shivered to pieces. Chas. Winner, living a few miles north of this city had a horse killed, and the house of A. S. Grammar, who resides a little north of Hadley Station was struck and badly damaged, although no one was much hurt and there were nine persons in the house at the time. This stroke came from a storm that passed over about seven 0'clock Tuesday morning. The strangest feature about it is that not one of the family remember of hearing it thunder when the stroke came and the flying splinters, bricks and mortar, and a peculiar smell, were the first indications of the crash, but the shock nearly took the family of the nearest neighbor off their feet. Jas. Tolon had a solitary turkey gobbler roosting on a tree near his house. The tree was struck and the turkey killed. The feathers on the back of the bird were burned off perfectly smooth.
At Hannibal the storm was terrific and much damage done by the water sweeping through the streets, while at Quincy the storm assumed the form of a tornado and swept everything before it, completely blowing houses to pieces. One man was killed by falling timbers. It is estimated that property to the amount of $50,000 was destroyed.

CLOSING REMARKS OF DR. A. C. BAKER AT THE OLD SETLERS' RE-UNION
It is a trite saying that history repeats itself and this is to the great extent undoubtedly true. Human hopes human loves, human ambition, human avarice, in fact all the passions that animate humanity are continually a repetition of the past; but the early history of Illinois can never be repeated, and no such precedent ever existed. The clime, the fertile soil, the spontaneous fruits, the abundance and the variety of the game all contribute to render it a home for the pioneer such as will never be seen again, and more than that the fee, ungrudging hospitality. . . .

SELECT SCHOOL
Barry Adage, March 18, 1876, p. 3, c. 3.
In order to fulfill a promise made long ago to our friend Prof. Widby to visit his school at Kinderhook, I invested to the amount of forty-five cents in a piece of pasteboard and started for the "Hook," and on arrival my first visit was paid to our young friend Ned Allen, who with Dr. Tandy is carrying on the drug business and by the way, Ned bids fair to become quite a good business many, only, "it's so awful lonesome," he says. After resting a little while I took up my line of march for the school house.
The school consists, as stated in a former issue of the Adage, of two departments; but neither by mistake of under spirituall influence its correspondent omitted naming Prof Widby as principal of the school, and Miss Mattie Terry as teaching the primary department. I spent in the school, alternately visiting either one or the other of the rooms.
It gives me great pleasure to accord to Miss Terry merited praise in the way she conducts her department, and [illegible] years more of experience -- this being her first school -- will put her in the foremost [illegible] of our teachers.
Prof. Widby's department to which I give special attention, reflects great merit on him and his pupils, and evidenced that his time had been fully given [illegible] change under him. His classes in [illegible] acquitted themselves very creditably, especially Miss Laura Sprague, [illegible] Cromwell and Stella Dewells in grammar, Mary Gillaspie, Emma Hausman and Sadie Churchill were quite brilliant wile geographically Miss Flora Colvin and Thomas [illegible] were quite proficient. Take [illegible] the school is quite a success, and from what I gathered from the directors and the better class of citizens, seems to have their approbation the best evidence of which is that Prof. Widby is to teach a summer term, after this one is finished fault finders not withstanding, and I play the man or woman who for some fancied offense would attack the reputation of a teacher without visiting his school or investigating matters before they pass sentence. Judge not less ye be judged.

Dear Sir; -- In justice to you and to refute certain unjust criticisms published in Barry ADAGE reflecting upon you as a teacher of our school, we deem it our duty as well as privilege to say to you at the close of a six months term taught here that we, as Directors, have noticed its progress throughout, have no hesitation in saying that for good and thorough work in the school room; for advancement made by the pupils in the various branches taught; and for general satisfaction given to both parents and pupils from the beginning to the close of the term, the (your) school has not had its equal here for many years. And we can assure you sir, notwithstanding the few fault finders, that you have more than met the expectations of the public and your employers.
Yours truly,

Last Tuesday was an exciting day in this place, owing to the corporation election. As soon as the polls were open a great rush was made to deposit ballots. Although there were many spirited discussions and all the consequent excitement incident thereto, there was no quarreling, and utmost good feeling prevailed. The friends of temperance won a great victory, the majority being 117 against license. The following ticket was elected: Mayor, William McIntire; Aldermen, John G. McKinney, G. D. Mayes, M. Widby; city Clerk, warren Lyons; City Attorney, J. H. Cobb, Police Magistrate, D.W. Greene; City Treasurer, Eugene Smith.

Lord Huntley returned from Joilet on Thursday where he had been with the last batch of prisoners sent up from this county. He saw all of the old offenders who have gone from this place in the last few years. The Warden of the prison told him that Lomux who was sent up for attempted highway robbery near this place last summer, is the meanest man in the institution-John Higgins dropped his head as he passed him. He had a conversation with Henry Gray who has been there for nearly ten years and who will soon be out. The last addition to the penitentiary was composed of Jack Platt, Henry Hooker, Daniel McClain and John C. Newmanbery get for years each, John C. Newman for stealing hogs, one year; Daniel McClain five years for highway robbery. After they were all safely with the enclosure of the great stronghold for evil doers there was some show of the spirit of "wish I hadn't" evinced by them all, and the stripped suits were anything but pleasing to them. The Warden also told Mr. Huntley that Henry Gray is one of the most civil and gentlemanly man in the prison.

Eugene Cooks says there was no need of going to Pittsfield to see a circus, as there was a better show at home. It happened in this way: Dr. Baker sold a horse to Dan Lowton for so much, provided he could trot a mile in three minutes and a half, and on Monday the trial of speed came off at the trotting ground of Mr. Pierce, who lives about six miles northeast of this place. A number from Barry went out to witness it among the rest a certain tonsorial artist who went in one of Coke and Long's livery wagons, in company with several others, Mr. Cooke driving the team. One of the horses was very high spirited, and seemed inclined to want to run, which made the man of the razor a little timid. The boys seeing that he was somewhat afraid, "put up a cold deck on him" about the animal saying how that on various occasions it had ran away and broke up buggies and kicked the smithereens out of everything, and that it would git up and git at the least provocation, and that it was not safe to ride after it -- He said that if he had known that he would have stayed at home rather than to have risked his neck behind such a horse as that. The driver then took particular pains to hit every stone and mud hole there where in the road, just to see him raise of his seat preparatory to jump at the first signal of danger, expecting every time that the wagon went into a rut or hit a stone it would upset, or the horse would take it into his head to make kindling wood of the vehicle; how he jumped out on one or two occasions when he thought he was about to be killed: and how he rode home on a horse that a man was leading, in order to get home with a whole hide. Cooke says it was the best "circus" he has seen since he was a small boy.

T. T. Gray
As a gentleman who has always been closely connected with, and attached to the interests of this county, it is our pleasure to mention the name of T. T. Gray, Esq. This gentleman is one of the earliest pioneers of our town or county, and one who has always endeavored to further its progress, without a special eye to personal benefit or fame. During the many years of his residence here he has been extensively engaged in mercantile transactions although retired from his former active life. It is interesting to state that the first mail made up in Barry was by the hands of T.T. Gray, and that the first edited paper was published in his establishments. The gentleman is now having built a handsome cottage which will not only be a creditable building as to architecture but also as to comfort.

THE COLONEL ON HIS TRAVELS
"Kurnel" Baker who was sent to New York some days ago to accompany back the mother of the editor of this paper, returned on Saturday last, safe and sound, while our mother got back two days ahead of him, not having met the Colonel in his travels. When the Colonel got to Dunkirk where he as to leave the Lake Shore Railroad to go south on another line, he was informed that the trains on that road were snow-bound, so he went to Buffalo, and from Buffalo to Jamestown, thence north to Sinclairville. But in the meantime, the lady he was after had been there where she expected to meet the Colonel, and departed for the west reaching Barry on Thursday. It may be as well to state that the Colonel was "thar," nevertheless, if it was a little too late, and is fuller of stories than a peach-tree of blossoms in a favorable season. His was the last passenger train that passed over the Ashtabula bridge before it went down with its seven car loads of human beings; saw the ruins as he came back; saw "Samuvil" J. Tilden in Buffalo together with many of the old time associates of "we, ourself" in Sinclairville, who told him many stories in regard to our youthful escapades, etc., etc., etc. We will further state that the Colonel has got down to business again and no longer ravels in the ethereal; set a good proof this week, and as we write is manipulating th roller, as all good devils are supposed to do, while George pulls the press on the virgin sheets of volume 6, number 11.

I COME UP TO KICK YOU
A Little Wagon-Maker Attempts to Whip a [illegible]
Just as the Senatorial and Compromise Bill excitement had [illegible] and the every-day monotony of life had again assumed away, it was suddenly announced, on Friday afternoon, that John Nickison, a little wagon-maker of this place, whose physical ability in comparison with an ordinary man is like a sepucker to a chicken-hawk, had been up to the house of John Widby, one of the teachers in the high school, to administrator condign punishment upon the pedagogue for an alleged ill-treatment of one of Mr. Nickison's children at school.
It appears that Mr. Nickison has two children attending school, one under the supervision of Miss Bently, and the other under Mr. Widby. Miss Bently had occasion to correct the little boy, and the sister told Miss Bently that she had wrongfully accused her brother -- in plain English that she lied. The young lady told some of her schoolmates tin the presence of Mr. Widby, what she had told Miss Bently. Mr. Widby, however, took no action in the matter until the principal of the school, Mr. Clark, came to his room, and in the presence of his scholars informed Mr. Clark, came to his room, and in the presence of his scholars informed Mr. Widby that the young Miss in question should remain half an hour after school every night until she apologized to Miss Bently. The first installment of the sentence was carried out on Thursday night.
About noon on Friday, Mr. Nickison might have been seen wending his way towards the home of Mr. Widby, trotting along like a banty rooster, his manner and bearing indicative of great excitement. Arriving at the house he rapped nervously, the summons being answered by Mrs. Yancy. Mr. Widby's grandmother. Mr. Widby, who was eating his dinner at the time, was duly informed that a gentleman at the door wished to see him, and at once repaired to the place to met the infuriated little man, who at once informed him that he had come up to kick him about the person usually hit when a man intends to do a right good job of kicking. Mr. Widby informed the waspish little hewer of wood that he was using language unbecoming a gentleman, in the presence of ladies -- to control himself, and reason the matter, and he would soon convince him that he (Mr. Widby) was perfectly justifiable in the course he had pursued. "You can't reason nothing," was the reply, and the little man used precisely the same language as before. Patience ceased to be a virtue with Mr. Widby, so he slapped the wagon-maker in the face with the flat of his hand, turned him around facing the gate and the toe of his boot assisted him out of the yard into the street. As the little man hobbled away he informed Mr. Widby that he schools teaching was all over now and that he was gong up to serve Mr. Clark in the same manner he came to serve Mr. Widby.
Mr. Clark is still able to attend to his duties, however, and Mr. Widby still holds his position as one of the teachers.

Stealing Hogs from a Cistern
On Tuesday Jack baker, living two or three miles north of this place had big John Brown, George Tyra and William Fox arrested for stealing seven dead hogs out of a cistern where they had fallen in and drowned some time about Christmas. They had an examination before Justice Allen on Wednesday, and were allowed to go their way without fine or imprisonment, as the Court did not consider the matter worth taking to the Circuit Court. The parties did not deny taking the hogs, and it was proven that the animals had been in the cistern -- which is near an old mill-a long time and were greatly swollen and decomposed. The hogs were sold for soap grease.

He was supplied with funds by parties here and started eastward. He only went as far as Springfield however, where he indulged in a heavy spree. He got back to this place on Monday night of last week, and it was soon apparent that his end was near, and he died a the time above stated. His brother in New York was telegraphed of his condition on Friday and reached here on Sunday [illegible]. The deceased was buried on Sunday afternoon. He was at one time possessed of a good deal of property, but squallered it. For a number of years past he has been employed as a bookkeeper in this place and Hannibal. He was one of the best bookkeepers and most accurate accountants that ever had charge of a setbooks, and but for alcohol would undoubtedly have been an honorable and useful member of society.

The sensational act of the drama occurred Tuesday went Ham Patton, a well known citizen of the county was found lying in his barn at Baylis in an unconscious condition with a bullet in his scalp. The ball was found to have penetrated the skin just back of the ear and passed around the skull until it lodged at the crown of his head. the would was inflicted by himself, but he made a poor job of it and he now lives to regret his action. previous to his last marriage Patten deeded all his land to three sons to the detriment of his new wife, but with the understanding that the deeds should not be recorded. This was some time since. A few days ago Patten learned to his sorrow that the deeds had been slipped from his charge and placed on record, thus depriving him of his possessions. An effort was made to annul the conveyances, but he found it could not be done. In his desperation came the attempt at suicide. What bearing the recent developments will have on the sons now in possession of the property remains to be seen. So far, however, the boys show no disposition to reconvey the land to their father [illegible]
