POPIONING CASES IN SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND.-
RALTWHISTLE, JUNE 26 —To-day the adjourned inquest
teen the body of Mr. Thomas Teasdale, lately a farmer at
Kelton, near lialtwhistle, was resumed before the coroner for
the district, idr. Stephen Reed, at the Manor House Com-
mercial Hotel. It will be remembered that at the last sitting
of the jury a warrant was issued by the coroner for the ex-
humation of the body of John Atkinson, the former husband
of the accused, Airs. Teesdale. Atkinson died about twelve
years ago, underu very suspicions circumstanc-s; and the re-
sult of Dr. over', analysis of his remains proves that
poison had been taken by him. After an hour's deliberation
the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the ac-
cused, Mrs. Teasdale.

SCULPTURED STONES IN THE. NORTH. Q
rn
--...,0e time
ago Mr. Chalmers, of Albar, obtained drawings of all the
sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and goti them Ltho_
graphed for the members of the Bannatyne Cub. The work
has excited considerable attention among historical students
in this country as well as abroad, and certainly has laid a
foundation for correct comparison of these with other similar
remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the country,
In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these
obelisks, which. either from the more primitive state of the
people or the hardness of the granite, are much less elabo-
rate than those in Angus. None, however, can exceed the
obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty of execution. It is .ingu-
lar that no monument of this class has been found south of
the Forth. The Spalding Club proposes to obtain drawings
of all the stones in the north of Scotland, and the artist who
depicted the Angus atones so accurately and well for Mr.
Chalmers will soon commence his labours. Circulars have
been sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the north,
asking for information as to the locality of any sculptured
atones in their districts, but as yet answers have been ob-
tained from only about 150. The return to the circulars is
so arranked that the parties have only to write down a few
words, and we trust that the deficiency will soon be supplied.
It is probable that where no return has been made there is no
stone of the de,cription alluded to, but it would be desirable
to know that be Spalding Club bad exhausted the matter.
We, therefore, beg our clerical friends in the northern coun-
ties to aid in completing this intereetiug and patriotic labour.
