Too good to be lost

A joke occurred recently not a
thousand miles from Asbury, says the
Times, which is decidedly too good too
good to be lost AS the story goes,
certain man who had always been a
good Democrat, took it into his head
20 be Lincoln man, so as to get the
post Office. A wag in the neigbor-
hood got reighhor to paint the
words Post Office " on board, and
put it up over the expectant's door,
at night, promising to watch and whis-
tie if danger approached. After max
ing these arrangements the wag goes
to the would-be Post Master, and let
the cat out Of the bag, telling him to
station himself at the window over the
door, with q pail of water. The time
for action having arrived, the wag
took his post on the other side of the
street as Waterman, and while the
sign was being put up, the operator
heard something drop, and to his sur
prise he found that he had a cold
duck " more for supper than he had
bargained for The finale of the story
is that the recipisnt of the "duck''
logged both the parties and scared
another man very nasty

The Sussex, N J Poisoning Case.

The Sussex. N Poisoning Case.
The trial of DR.. Wickham for the
murder of Mrs Helena T. Dole, at
Montague, on the Goth of March, 1859,
is now occupying the Sussex Courts
TIE prosecutor, Mr.. johnson, opened
the case, and stated at some length,
the facts connected with it as devel-
oped at the Coroner's inquests, and
the subsequent trial of Solomon Cole,
husband of deceased, who was acquil-
ted, the evidence against him being
insufficient to warrent a conviction.
The prosecutor showed that on the
Goth of March, Mrs. Cole had child,
and was sitting up in bed remarkably
we'll, when DR.. Wickham visited her,
and administered potion he represen-
ted to be composed of rhubarb and
picra-a very nauseous dose, against
which her stomach revolted-sh e
speedily became i'll, and went into
spasms. Wickham and her husband
were call in, she uttering groans, and
the spasms continuing until she died ;
that the dose which she took at that
time was poison that the medicine
so administered was mixed and admin
istered by prisoner that the testimo-
ny adduced would be that of the
neighboring physician and neighbors
that DR.. Wickham induced Cole to
enter into an arrangement for the in.
surance of his wife's life to the amount
of $4,000, and that the annual premi-
UNI of $50 was paid in querterly pay
monts by the doctor.
Miss Susan Hornbeck testified to
seeing the Doctor at Mrs. Coles; saw
him give her the mixture she was
talking lively I; soon after she had E
spasm and jerking, and died in about
an hour, in great pain. Mrs Cathar
inc Cole testified that the deceased
complained of a burning in the stom
ach. Isaac Cole testified to seeing
deceased's distress he went for DR.
Shimmell, Dr. w. telling him 70 hurry
and when he returned Mrs. Cole was
dead. James M. Chapman of Jersey
City, testified to DR.. W. insuring Mrs
Coles life
DR.. Schimmell testified to being
called to examine deceased for the in.
surance application, March 18th, ont
week before she died !; she then ap.
peared to be i'll from indigestion thu
next week was called and was surpris
ed to find her dead ; saw no cause o
death assisted at the post norton
found the stomach and intestines ex
tensively infamed !; could not accoun
for the death; DR.. w. prepared {
statement that the liver and throa
were diseased asked witness to sigl
it. The evidence of other parties a

Winter among the Poor.

winter among the Poor.
To those who have abundant means
q real wintery morning early in the sea-
son, is rather agreeable sensation
The thermometer below the freezing
point is shorn of all its terrors when
the house Is close and warm, when the
cellar is we'll stored with fuel, and
when the bright anthracite casts its
comfortable, ruddy glow around well
furnished apartments. Sound and
stout boots, warm clothing, and body
fortified with G ,od food, enable their
possessors to boldly face the nipping air
and out door exercise is even more
agreeable and invigorating than more
genial weather. To the children an
early snow storm is capital joke. They
scream with delight as they watch the
descending fakes through the window
panes, and the boys indulge gleeful an
ticipations of romping sled rides and
uproarious snow ballings.
But winter comes in differnt guise
to the very poor. The nippiDg air is no
kept away by the insufficient clothing
the hearth without fire affords no COM
fort, and glittering crystals of snow
have no charms for the bare-fo6ted,
shivering children of the poor. The
scarcity of work among the labouring
classes during the past summer has left
many in destitute condition, and
there Is no doubt there will be suffering
and it is the christian duty of those
who have abundant means to devote a
portion of them towards the relief oil
their less fortunate fellow creatures.
