an old and highly respectable farmer OF the village
OF Tayl0rtown. OF the above named township, went
on wednesday morning last to his work in the
woods, taking with him. as was his usual custom
his dinner In small pail. While eating his dinner
at n00n and shortly after he had swallowed only
few m0uthfus, he became sick ct his stomach and
noticed peculiar and unpleasant taste to his din
ner. He therefore gave the rest or II to his dog,
which had accom- panied him but, before
the animal had had time to devour Il
all, he. too, was taken sick and in
less than five minutes was dead. Mr.. Miller then
made desperate efforts TO return to his house. but
was too weak to do 20. He, however by his shouts
obtained passing assistance and was carried home.
On arriving at his house Mrs. Miller, who ia his
second wife and ID still quito young was observed TO
feel much more aggrieved over the death OF the dog
than OF the dangerous condition of her husband,
and appeared greatly Indifferent to his sickness
Mr. Miller fingered till the evening, when he died

at two O'Clock the next morning It then became
plain that SHE had herself placed the poison In Mr..
Mlller's rO0d and had when the finger Of suspicion
began to point towards her, taken herself Of the
poison and committed suicide. Her motive seems
to have been TO obtain possession OF the old mans
farm for herself and the children of her first hus-
band. Coroner's inquest was Immediately
held, when 1t was elected that one OF
Mrs. Mlller's sons, o young man residing

the house. The inquest will be concluded to-day,
