fatal accident to Mr.. Furnell of Ripton. On
examination Of the body. suspicious arose
that violence had been used by some person
or persons not known, and such a verdict
rendered by the coroner, which, Of course,

ton referred to was hasty, and the conclusion
without doubt erroneous By subsequent
examination, by several physicians it is put
beyond a question that the deceased was kill
ed by the falling Of a tree. and that after
wards the body was badly burned. We had
expected full statement from ono Of the fac
ulty. It may be published next weck.-Mid-
