HORRIBLE TRAGEDY -THREE MEN POI- j SONED! On Thursday, Ultli February, our quiet com- i inanity was siaitled with living reports that ' vral persons had been poisoned on strychnine j whisky, at ft grocery mid confectionary, opened j lioro not long sincei l>y John (J. Tend, a )ouug , man of resectable cuiiuetious ia this District. Among other articles on hand ia thin shop, it : was pretty well understood in the village, thai ; intoxicating liquors were kept fur the accoimiia- j 1 dttiion of thiisty cuslomerers. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, it seems , Mr. Ananias Graham, an aged and very respectable citi/.en of our District, and his son, i Mr. John W. (Jraham?the grandfather and ; ? i ? i? mviv vi kvuvi? ui|i|'viiv\i ?%k iiiv sini|i uiguuirr, ; nml u yotit^ man l?y iliu name of John It. Me Collum, who n>i'iil most of liis time there, wns I also present. After the alarm \v;ie given, ami the noi^liJtcrn i rushed in, the O'rahants were found down, with | dreadful spasm*. .MoCol'iiiu just In-ginning to experience (lie clfucts of the poisonous liquor, nml ! Terrol himself, it wuj tfud, hud nlso drank with ! the others. j Some four or five physicians happened to he ! near by hiiJ were promptly called in ?probably ; in lens than trii minutes after the liquor was j drank, hut in spilo of every ell'irt thus instantly j ninde to save them, the Messrs. (Indium died in some twenty or thirty minutes, and Met'uiliiin, I after milfering the most excruciating agony for I oiiik twelve hours, died about iiiiilni^hl. Terrell was, after the occurrence, rc- , ( moved to his father's residence ill the village, I where it was reported he too wan .siilferiugsevere- j >y- !! Of eottf.ee such an occurrence, on the corner j of our public Hjuare, nt nii<l-i!ay, was well chKmi- \ Intel lo startle our quiet village, uii<! to produce j the most intense excitement. Crowds flocked :ii to witness tin: extraordinary j , spectacle?two highly respectable -ilixeiis, wlio j had tietn greeting their fiieuds in good health but a few moments before, now lay dead, flic father and sou in h few feel of each other?and young McCollum evidently dying near by, nil from drinking a .<??<;/? i//?ms of ichi. Immediate y sucnocilintr the tragic event, nobody appeared lo siMpect foul piny, but all won I dered how so much deadly poison could have heeit ? imbibed from so small a <|Uantity of what, is now t generally termed " strychnine whisky The question was dismissed variously nnd earnestly, in numerous excil-cd groups about the Public Square, for several hours, when, as a matter of course, a formal investigation of tho facts and circumstances, by a Coroner's inquest, was sug- r gested. Some deemed such an investigation uiinecessary, and, satisfied that the whole affair was purely accidental, were willing lo dispense with * the usual formalities observed when death occurs i thus suddenly. Others insisted upon the propriety ( and necessities of an inquest, und the Coroner , was accordingly sent for. Just before sunset, a full and very intelligent " Jury was summoned, and being duly sworn, proceeded with the investigation, in view of the dead bodies of tho Messrs. CSraham. It is not our purpose to report the testimony * taken during the searching examination that fob j towed, for, although it is now on file in tho CMerk's nfiice, open, we suppose, lo the inspection ji of the public, it is not usual in our State to pub- 0 lisli such evidence immediately preceding the ,. trial which will follow this investigation, in the. Court of Session, as a mailer of course, bom the s Yerdict rendered. It is, perhaps, however, not improper to say, that the inquest collected from various sources, facia and circumstances, that led them to unite in a verdict that required the Coroner forwith to issue a wnrrunt for the arrest of John C. Terrell, about 11 o'clock that night, and the Sheriff immediately committed him lo (he jail, lo await his mill lur nuiruer ai me ensuing term or our court, ' which is tn sit here week after next. The following day, in coiiseipiencc of Mc- I1 Cullum's death, which occurred about mi hour e after the first inquest endeil. another Jury, ?luly summoned by the Coroner assembled, nml iu view of the deail body made still farther investiga- 0 tioiio, an<l agreed upon a similar verdict to those v rendered the night before. v However naturul it is for us l?i desire, and the v public expect us to write a long article on the occurence of sueh a frightful tragedy, in the ' inidsl of this provcibially sohre, moral and highly intelligent community, we forebear for the present, for reasons that all must upprovc.?JSeic ncttkville Son of Thr Italian Qm'xtioii. ? 77c Luteal from J'tir- i* to Ism!

Hut the situation appears ( unchanged. The more I his state of uncertainty t M prolonged, the more trying it proves to those material interests on whose prosperity that of the contrary so much depends. Though six I weeks have elapsed since tile first tidings of a J serious misunderstanding between France ami , Austria first threw Europe into a panic, a solution appears as far oil' as ever. Nevertheless, I . tun assured that diplomacy has not been idle, but it does not appear that any satisfactory tin* demtamling has been arrived ut. It would be t premature, at this stage of th? proceedings, to state what hits been done; it will be sufficient to say that as yet Austri i has steadily refused to * make concessions which the Cabinet of Vienna ? feel \vr*ild amount to the abandonment of all the t Austrian possessions of J.oiubardy. It is difficult to say that she is much to blame iu this. 11 However obnoxious the slax'e trade, it would be too much to expect the West India planters t readily to have accepted proposals for its abolition, especially when not the slightest prospect ' oi compensation VVUE held uilt.

The withdrawal of ilio French :in<l Austrian forces frrm the States ??f ilm Church would lie immediately fol- , lowed by a universal insurrection, which must lead to hostilities between France and Piedmont 1 on the one hand, with Austria on the. other.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DROWNING UTILITY OF HOOPS. We were informed by n citizen of our District dii Monday lust, of a most remurkublo escap from drowning of Mr. Koiikut Andkiison, wife two children and sifter. The circumstances, a related to us, are as follows: Mr. Roukrt Anukkmin, a citizen of our Dis Iriet, his wife, two children and sister, left honi on Suturday last for the purpose of visiting tli father of Mr. A., Capt.

Ani>kiison, seo ing there was no alternntive "but to go over th dam, gathered his two children and jumped int. the pond, instructing his wife and sister to do th same, which they did. Mr. A. succeeded ii getting safely ashore with his charge, but hi wife, notM) fortunate, washed over the (lam am was in a manner drowned, when she was rescue" by a negro who obtained a chiioc and went t tier relief just in time to save life. She was mi conscious when first taken from the stream, bu after some time revived, and is doing woll. Th young lady, the sister of Mr. A., fortunately, a leant in this caae, was better prepared for th emergency than her sister-ill law, by having on (loop Skirt, which we understand, so complete!; nup(>orted her that she suffered very little frou the accident, more than a slight wetting. She however, after floating about for some time, Wit taken into the boat by the ferryman in wliicl die remained ui'til it passed over the datn, wliicl feat it performed with perfect safety, dragging th dead horse, which was drowned by falling ovei board, with :t.

Mr. Stickles returned to Washington oil the morning of the day of the Napier ball, and from that lime up > to Friday last, nothing occurred to make, the matter of his wife's relations with Mr. Key more ^ than ordinarily prominent in his mind So far was lie from manifesting anything like inordi(! ante or tyraiiniculsuspicion, that lie allowed Mr. t KeV to escort M ru - ? * - - .i i?i!-.-* n? ii^iihi on reiuisvit> vnniu avenue. and I saw tliem, in company with u Mr. Henry WykolJJ m the theatre on Wednesday night. On Thursday, Mr. and .Mm. Sickles ^ entertained a largo party at dinner. Over thai i' cay and hrillianl company how near and feari ful a doom impended ! On the next day, (the day before yesterday,) Mr. Sickles received from m>iiio enemy '* of mankind an anonymous letter, staling with li precision so minute ax to make suspicion iinq periltive, Hint Mr. Key had rented a house of Fifteenth street, above K. street, from a negro viimnt', and that lie was in the huhil ot meeting Mis. S.ckles there two or three times a ^ week, <?r oftoner. The person and ditrss of Mrs. t Sickles were accurately dexcril-cd. and th? usual 4 time of the interview specified. Accompanied by a friend, Mr. Sickles went to the house duL xignnted and found every statement of the nne onymous writer corroborated Mr. Key had ' taken the house ; and he had constantly met there u lady answering very closely in description In Mrs. Sickles. il Mr. Sickles >1 ilI clung to the hope ihnt the s person who had stooped to (he baseness of innk ing su.-li charges under llui veil of secrejy, t might l:av? thoroughly deceived him, aad that Mrs. Sickles was not the ladv ill question. Ilo e accordingly requested his friend, Mr. George Wooldrige, ol New York, to watch tlio T place from the window of u house just oppoa site. s On Saturday, no meeting took place, and - the woman in charge bcciiis to have stated e that none had occurred siimn \V.ilniu.l?>' .. ? On Saturday evening, Mr. Sickles, resolved * no louder to |?l?y the spy upon his honor, deter11 mine.I to confront his wile directly with his terrible suspicions. At iiral, Mrs. SickleBptronnly e denied her guilt; lint on her husband's asking ' her whether, on the Wednesday previous, slur ' * had not entered the house on Fifteenth sired, 9 in n certain particular dress, and concealed by a hood, she cried out, " 1 am betrayed and **. j toil," and swooned away. On recovering Ucr " j senses, she admitted bar guilt, and besought I mercy and pardon. Mr. Sickles calmly said 11 he would not injure her, since he In lieved her c the victim of a scoundrel, but that he had a * right to a full confession. Two ladies in the v house were sent for as witnesses, and in their 8 presence, Mrs. Sickles made a full coufcuion iu writing, staling that her councetioii with Mr. Key " had commenced in April last, under Mr. Sickles' * roof; but thut Mr. Key hod since hirod the u house iu Fifteenth street, in wliich they had constantly unit.

Falling on his hi|? and supporting himself with his hand, he cried, 'Murder! don't shoot I" Sickles still following, tired ugii'ii, with his pistol close to Key, the hall parsing through his body helow the breast. On Air. Doyle's touching Sickles on the . shoulder,the latter at once desisted, and turning around, said: "Gentlemen, this iiiau huadishonI orcd my bed!" L'pon this he took Hutterworih's | arm, and walking from the spot with the most ; jicricci/ sen-possession, proc**c<|ei| to Attorney I General liluck's, mill delivered himself into eusI loily. Key Was about 19 years of nge, tall in stature, : about six feet, willi hii easy ami fashionable air, .: lint l?y no means prepossessing in appearance .otherwise. 11 in face. had n sickly lute, and he | had been lor some time suffering from heart dis| ease, or imagined he was, which gave him a soured nnd discontented look. Ot.liei wine Im wan ; extremely popular, anil those who knew him best j said his eccentricities of manner covered a very I kiiui and generous heart. His father, Francis | S. Key, was the author of the national song, I the " Star Spangled l?anm?r." lie was a widlower, with four children. On his marriage ho i narrowly escaped a duel with Colonel May, who , conceived that he had unfairly ousted him from i the affections of tho lady who became his wife, aud who was a beautiful and charming woman. Mr. Sickles, the member for the Third District of New York, is a native of this city, and was originally a printer l?y occupation, lie is a man of nearly forty yearn of age, of good presence and graceful manners. As a member of i j the Statu Senate, as well as iu the House of : Representatives, he hail made himself remarked j by a quite uniiKual coolness and self-possession, ) which gave him great advantages in debate, and bad acquired for him a well deserved reputation as a rising young leader of tho Democratic party. In lb.VI, ilr. Sickles was married to his wife, now ruined and heart-luokeu, then a young girl fresh from her school-life, and remaikablu then as now fur something especially soft, lovely and youthful in the type of her very peculiar beauty. She is of Italian origin, ami [lost-esses all the Italian lustre and depth of eye, united with u singular candor and delicacy of feature. >iia. .niui.n-a inuy or ami lias two children. She is tin: daughter of Hiigioln, the cvlcliratt'i) music teacher, of Fourteenth street. Amid the general gloom which thin s.id affair had cast over the city, many n sorrowing thought is cast towards her whoso guilty wifrender to ihe wilep of a villiati has rcMiltcd so tragically, for she has i l)i*cii much likc.il, am! those who have known ; li?;r will grieve sorely at the necessity of giving her up as lost. i'cw women are belter calculutcl to win their way in polite society, or to contribute morn to its vivacity. Popular sympathy, as usual in such cases, is utmost, unanimously with !\Ir. Sickles, the provocation In-ill;; deemed arnplo justification for the deed, mid when tim fuels na yet unknown come to he developed, this feeling will grow still stronger, and read a fe.irful lesson to those who 1 may attempt to invade the honor and happiness of another's home.
