on Thursday morning held an inquest on the body
of Manda Hartman, a young lady aged 20 years,
al the Baltimore Cemetery, said 10 have come 10
her death BY poison. The body was exhumed
and the examination entered into. Mrs. Ring
gold, wife of Justice Rnggold, was sworn and
said that Malinda lived at her house; she was
taken i'll and sent 10 the drug store and got some
magnesia when il came 10 the house was placed
on the mantel, where lay some arsenic that had
been procured 10 kill yats-Miss Hartman soon
after went TO the mante and took as she supposed,
a tablespoonful of magnesia; but il tasting differ
ent from what she expected, she asked one ofthe
inmates what il was; the answerwas arsenic I;
Chat quantity would weigh $50 grains , Malinda
said my God am ruined, ! have taken table,
spoonful oft r Drs. Crozier and Mann were then
sent for, but remediate means were Of no avail.
She died in 10 or IL hours, and with her last breath
said that no one was to blame but herself for the
mistake. Four or five other respectable females
testified TO the same facts DIR. Douglass was pre-
sent and made the post-mortem examination.
Anextended examination was made by The doc
tor, in which he showed the jury the action ofthe
poison on the intestines, and with the facts pre-
sented they returned verdict of death from taxi
ing arsenic, in mistake, instead Of magnesia.

SouthcTh H1Lhetss-Ane otaunton tsndtcaf0r
says; rt
"We believe there is growing interest mani
tested by the people OF the country in behalf Of
Virginia cities. Indeed, the only true means OF
establishing and maintaining southern rights is to
build up southern markets, and keep within our
limits the wealth which flows into the Golfers Of
northerners, in return for their outrsges and SCOTS
upon southern men and southern interests. Let
every man, who feels an interest and pride in the
maintenance and encouragement Of southern en-
ierprIse, contribute his influence 10 the building
up Of vast home trade, and thus rival the COM
mercial enterprize Of New York and Philadelphia
Let southern merchants purchase their goods in
southern markets, and thus will be accomplished
the building up OF southern interests. Richmond
and Aiexandria should supercede in Virginia
patronage, Philadelphia, and New York There
is no reason why il should not be 30. At least
give them call, and judge then whether they
cannot compete with norhcn markets.

A Horrld Tragedy occurred at Addison, Yer
mont, on Sunday afternoon, 10th. Mr.. Decatur
Cheney and his wife, residents Of the town, had,
by invitation, been spending part Of the day with
she family of Sheldon Pond, when, as Cheney was
leading out his horse to harness him for their re-
turn, a son of Pond, young man Of about thirty
years, shot him dead, Kidding his side with buck
shot. Ponds father who was bringing pail OF
water for the horse, saw his son kneeIing at the
corner of the house, with his gun aiming at Che
ney, aad the report instantly followed The
wretched murderer fled 10 the woods, but re-
turned at night, and is now in Jail awaiting his
trial. The motive of this shocking deed is proba-
bly, to be found in the circumstance that the wife
of Cheney had formerly lived in the Pond family,
and had refused 10 marry young Pond. It may
readily be imagined that the sight of the woman
who had rejected him, happy as the bride Of an
other, might rouse 20 fury The hatred Of rival ,
yet the deed is believed TO have been premedi-
tated for Ponds mother had seen him loading his
gun with an unusually heavy charge of buck shot,
several days before, when the evaded her inquiry
as TO his purpose.
