SUFFOLK.
ACCIDENTAL POISONINEL—An accident, by which
one female met her death, and twelve other persons, men,
women, and children, suffered severely, happened at Felt-
well and Hockwold a few days since. Mr. Tombs, farmer,
of Feltwell Fen, his wife, one son, and three daughter, were
taken suddenly and violently ill ifter breakfast. A surgeon
was sent for, who found them suffering severely from the
effects of poison. In the evening the same gentlemso • was
sent he in great haste to a family residing at Hockwold,
named Watson • but previous to his arrival one daughter, 30
years of age, had died, and the rest Men pronounced to be
suffering from poison. Two little eallaren, about 5 and 7
years old, suffered most.seven.ll, but the.. ere fast recover-
ing. 0..' f ---'--- j .011. is Mill Tor.
... ......,....cr, •oeut 2-t years .... -.-„, -c.
The father and the other daughter, as well
..,.
as the family of Mr. Jacobs, are quite TOOOTerOdi.
The cause of these occurrences has been dime-
vered to have been as follows :—Mrs. Parkinson, the wife
of•• firmer, in her husband's absence, sent a month of corn
to the mill to be ground, but by mistake put three bushels o
wheat into a seek containing a bushel of wheat which had
been dressed for seed, being the clearings of the drill, and
containing a quantity of arsenic. From this a considerable
quantity of arsenic must have been left in the stones of the
mill, and affeeted the next coomb of corn, which was sent to
be ground for Mr. Jacobs, end a quantity of wheat was ground
for another filially, which was not used. The nett corn sent
was a bushel of wheat from Watson. The flour we. sent
home and a pudding mole for supper, and immediately
afterwards the whole family was taken ill. It Ives fortunate
that for the want of wind the mill was prevented grinding
for several days, and in the meantime the accident was dis-
covered, or the consequences might have been still more se-
rious. An inquest was held on Monday last at Hockwold
on the body of 'Harriet Watson, when a verdict of Accidental
Death was returned.

THIN BOWINO.—The following letter appears in
the Essex Herald of Tuesday ,—Wix, Manninpres, Dec.
24,1847. Sir,—Last year my wheat was seeded with 2; pecks
per sere. The produce for the market is 13 coombs per acre,
the weight per coomb, including the sack, 17 stone sad 10
pounds. The corn was measured in the presence of respect-
able farmers; the land was measured by three farmers; the
grain was weighed by a corn merchant to settie a wager eon-
cenung it with another corn-merchant. My WNW Is not yet
thrashed, but it was far superior to my wheat seep, and two
mobsters have pronounced it to be a fine maple. 1 dnlied

the eame field with wheat wain, which im the third time in
four years with wheat : 1 drilled • part with a peek end • halt

dibbler, with 4 peck per acre ; and • wry waslirrt I
