The Late Washington County Horror
Inquest on the Supposed Poison
ing-The Verdict.

We yesterday published report OF
the death of man named Augustine
Wells, in Washington county, as is sup
posed from poison administered by one
Mary f. Crumrine. The following is n
report of the inquest held on the body
of deceased:
On Friday mofning an inquest was
held on the body of the deceased by Job
Johnson, ESD, in the absence of the
Coroner. Drs. Chalfant, Jackson, and
Truxal testified rs to the condition of
the deceased for two years prior TO his
death, and also gave it rs their opinion,
from the post mortem examination, that
some extrancous substance had been
introduced into the stomach. The sub
stance of the testimony of the other
witnesses examined is as follows:
J. Remel testified that he heard Mary
Crumrine say at his house, some time in
the winter of IS6i, that she would go to
Brownsville and buy Il dose of arsenic to
put in the olddevirs tea. Witness ask
ed her, "Mary, who is that you are go-
ing to poison to which she replied,
"old GusSy.' She said she would get the
arsenic of Charley KrcppS.
Jane Remel testified that she heard
Mary Crumrine tell her mother that she
was going TO Brownsville to get some
arsenic of Krcpps to put III his tea.
Witness did not know who she meant,
but thought it was Mr.. Wells.
Margaret Fitzsimmons testified that
she heard Mary say that Wells accused
her of poisoning-that they had fuss
she called him liar, and he was go
ing TO strike her. Heard her wish sew
eral times that Wells was dead.
Jacob Jetfries testified that he heard
Mary Crumrine say ut William Gregg's,
on the evening of last spring election,
that she had frequent spars with old
Gus-that she had thrown up to him
that Esq. Gregg was greatly his snpe-
rior-that she had got some stuff and
given him a little dose which sickcned
him, and that if ever she got good
opportunity she would give him dose
that would bring him.
The jury returned verdict to the eff
feet that death was occasioned by the
administration of poison by Mary f..
Crumrinc.
The husband of the accused died in
March, 1865, while in the army. In
August last she purchased from William
Wolf the property situated in the rear
of the First Methodist Church, on Bean
street, in this borough, for the sum of
seven hundred dollars, and paid on the
same between three and four hundred
dollars, which she received rs bounty
and back pay due her husband.
Mr.. Wells acted as constable of Green
field for n number of years, and was n
gentleman of excellent character. He
was aged iifty-tivc years.

4 supue.,ion for Corn Grower,

If the farmer would be content TO
deal with his other fruit, to take the
trouble of a double in-gathering, to
crop ears of corn as he would basket
cherries or bin hops, and then to NOW
his straw as he mows his hay, he would
incur a first expense perhaps double OF
his present. If when the corn arrived
ut the proper stage of maturity, IRE
spective of barometer or weathercock,
he were to turn all available hands.
women and children more protitably
than men, on his well-eared fields,
each provided with basket such rs
that in which seed corn is carri, d,
slunc round the neck, and a small
knife. or a triangular piece of iron,
worn like a tailor's thimble on the fore
finger, the whole of the corn would be
rapidly secured, being plucked or rather
bent over the knife Immediately be-
meath the ear, dropped ut once into the
basket. and never suffered to touch the
ground, or knocked about TO the loss of
n single grain, before it was safely de-
posted in the grainary; then, if wet, it
could be safely and expensiyely sub
iccted to a simple process OF drying, a
process which, if once adopted, would
he likely to become universal, whether
the corn were in-gathered wet or dry,
as it would entirely obviate the pain
fnl and clumsy process of thrashing.
If the ears Of corn were placed in
baskets or wire trays, tier above tier, so
that strong and sustaining blast ofair
were driven through them, whether set
in motion by fan, or by the draught OF
lofty chimney-the great power OF
which is well known to those who have
to deal with really high stacks-not
only would all superfuous moisture be
RAPIDLY absorbed, but the ear would be-
come so dry as to cease to retain the
grain, which would fall from the basket
as from a seive, on the slightest mo-
ton. The precious part of the crop
thus secured, the farmer would take his
own time for moving the straw, or cut
ting it by machinery; at least he would
do so until practice in drying the wheat
itself should teach him that it was n
false economy to lose either straw or
hay in unfavorable weather for want of
proper arrangements for drying these
valuable crops.-The Builder.

How Much Corn in Seventy Pounds
Of Ears

1t is customary for Western farmers
to sell their corn in the ear, and they
give seventy pounds for a bushel. The
Prairie Farmer is authority for saying
that seventy pounds of old corn on the
cob make sixty-fve pounds and thir-
teen ounces. Certainly this will more
than pay any farmer for shelling his
sorn Mt home. On any prairie farm the
cobs alone will pay for shelling, as they
are worth nearly as much rs coal
pouud for pound.

The Veronese have not only witness
ed their monks depart without a regret,
but have permitted them to carry of
their most precious relic, the Holy Ass
of Verona. There is tradition about
this ass. 1t is as follows: ''The ass on
which our Savior sat when he entered
Jerusalem refused, after the Jews had
accomplished their will of him, any
longer to dwell in the city. 1t, there,
fore, crossed the seas, (Which were mi.
raculously.made solid beneath its hoofs)
went to Cyprus, Gambia. Malta, Sicily,
and after various wanderings at length
took ND its abode at Verona, where II
lived for many years. From itdescend,
ed a race of remarkably fine asses, said
still to abound in that city. When the
holy animal died a pompous funeral was
accorded to it, but it was not buried.
Its mortal remains were preserved, land
nlaced in the interior of an artificial as
made expressly for the purpose, and
which was confided to the care of forty
monks of the Convent of Notre Dame
des Orgues.'

Corn Cobs as Fuel.

The Prairie Farmer has been figuring
some on raising corn and preparing it
for the market, and decides that it is
better to shell the corn than to sell in
gross. cob and all, rs the practice of
some farmers is. BY shelling in suit
able machine and leaving the cobs
whole, considerable is saved, as ton of
cobs is equal to ton of coal for fuel.
This is an item worthy of consideration
in sections where much corn is grown
and fuel is scarce and necessarily dear
