 this State. Circumstances had led the
 friends of the family to suspect al inti. macy between this young man and the vii. of tine slecea>etl This suspici1fi
 was strengthened by, tho fact gshat he continued io reside in tlls house after tile death of Mr. II. It was accidentally discovered that Mrs. H.. about the time of her husband < illness. had purchased arsenic a: store in the tieighborliood: saying that she wished it to destroy rats and mice. by which she was much ans noyed. Sons time afterward she inci-' dentally remarked in conversation that, owing to tie activity of a fayorite cat. her house had nefen been infested with such animals. The contradiction, was noticed, and other circumstances ysoon came to light. Eventually. 1t was de- tcrmined that the corpse of Mf. B, should be disintcrred for examination. Before this was done. Mrs. H. made arrange ments to dispose of the property ia her possession. and left the town in haste saying that she was going to the vicinity of Bridgeport. She left South Dover. alone, but it was ascertainetl that Slmers took passage with her at one of tho sta- lions on the Housatonic Road. and that the two camc to this city. The corpse when disinterred. gave some indications of the presence of poison in the stomach. andia thorough investigation and analy- sis were then made under the directicn of the Coroner. The result left not 2 doubt that arsenic had been administers cd. or some way taken into the ,ystenl. A warrant was issued. anu Mrs. ttoag
 and So.ners were arrested as 2, house

Two millions ofstout-hearted workers,
Chained criminals-children of sin,
A plague spot in England's fair bosom,

Two millions that might have been cunning
Earth delivers, house builders, at least,
Even down to the crumbs stoop their foreheads
With hungry cries like the wild beast
Tender twigs springing up in by places,
Cramped down from the sunshine and air,
No good shoots engrafted, what marvel
The fruitage is bitter they bear!
Where thousands of red deer are aying
The 1.-THE hounds behind in full cry,
They might have been planted and nurtured
To lift their green arms to the sky.

That in our green borders forever

EIic con1 fo1f f,nooO

All the portraits of "the Swan" represent
her with an expression of sadness, sort Of
weeping-and-w -willowy look, as if she were
listening to the broken wailings Of the Harp
of Tara ;but more lively, joyous, sunny
face, we have seldom seen, while her spirits
seem TO flow and overflow, animated sym.
patby with everything that is bright, and
good, and beautiful around her, Take her,
as Shakespere would say. for all in all, she
is flush pattern of womanhood body,
mind aud soul. Her warm manners will
please the Americans; and unless the foreign
press overrate her vocal powers, she will
make sensation, and meet with a success
second only to Jenny Lind.
