IT is said that in Miff1in, Juniata and

while their heads are covered with close
fitting skull caps, which give their faces
a ghastly appearance. They have no
poor; scofers say that it is because when
one of their number BECOMES poor they
turn him out of the society; but that is
a SANDER, for they are not only thrifty
but charitable. never refusing to enter

TIE BUFFENBARGER POISONING
GANE

The trial of Mrs. Coburn, accused OF
poisoning Peter Buffenbarger, of London,
Ohio, closed with the honorable discharge
of the accused. The case has been sin
gular one. An old man with some prop
erty marries young woman, the daughter
of a neighbor Their married life APP
pears to be harmonious, and both are re-
spected by their neighbors. After sick
ness of several weeks, during which a
physician of good standing is in regular
attendance, the old man dies. After a
decent interval the widow marries a
gentleman who, by all accounts, was a
friend of her first husband, and no sus-
Picion is excited. Four years pass away
from the time of the death of the first
husband and a legal action is instituted
against the widow for murder. This &C.
ton is brought by two men, relations of
the deceased husband, the one physician
of no reputation, the other man who, on
his own confession, has been engaged in
many disreputable and some criminal
practices. At their instigation an exami-
nation is made by an expert of the remains
of the old man and arsenic in very minute
quantities is found-too little, according
to the testimony, to produce death.
This, in brief, was the case of the prose-
cution. No intimacy was proved between
the wife and her second husband
while her first husband was living, and no
other reason for the murder was suggest
ed. The character of the prosecution
came out in their own testimony, and the
whole affair had the appearance of ma
licious action.
The counsel for the accused therefore
moved to dismiss the charge, and Justice
Crabbe sustained the motion.
The question still remains as to the
presence of arsenic in the dead body. No
arsenic was given to Buffenbarger by his
physician, neither did the physician detect
any symptoms of its presence. The sick
man was well cared for by his wife, 1t
looks as if thepoison was injected into the
body at some time after death, a theory
which receives some confirmation from
the character of the prosecutors and the
method they pursued in bringing their
action. 1t would be some satisfaction to
have this matter cleared up; and if it is
found that poison can be introduced into
dead bodies in such way as to give them
the appearance of having died of poison,
careful experiments should be made, and
tests decided upon, so that hereafter people
may be saved from the shame and injus-
tice of malicious criminal prosecutions.

vP SIMMER IN BALTIMORE 1861.

| MR.. SUMNER nv DALIIMOhE 1901.
In a recent number of the Philadelphia
Press, Mr.. Forney relates the following
showing the peril in which Senator Sumner
unconsciously was in Baltimore in 1861.
At noon on the 18th of April 1861, he
bought ticket at Washington for Baltimore,
and arriving there, entered his full name on
the books of Barnum's Hotel Preferring a
quiet hour, he crossed the street and ordered
an early dinner at Guys Monument House,
always famous for its good fare, and favor
| lite resort of the celebrities who frequently
visited the Monumental City. Dinner over,
he called on n New England friend and resi-
dent, remained to tea, and returned through a
by-street to Barnum's, entering at the side
door. In the hall he met gentleman who
seemed much excited by his presence and
| anxious for his safety. Conscious of his own
rectitude, he walked up to the office and de-
manded the key OF his room, to which he was
soon followed by the proprietor of the hotel,
the late lamented Zenos Barnum, and another
gentleman. There he was informed that the
fact of his being in the house had obtained
publicity, and that large and angry crowd
was outside threatening violence and demand
ing his life. His answer was that he felt per-
fectly secure as long as he was under that
roof, and that he would hold the proprietors
responsible for any outrage that might he at
tempted upon him. Mr. Barnum did not con-
ceal his apprehensions alike for this great e.
Enlistment and for the safety of his guest,
and under his advice Mr.. Sumner consented
to remove to a more inaccessible room, where
he remained for some time discussing the sit
uation of the country with his kind-heated
and generous host. He could distinctly hear
the threatenings of the surging mob outside,
and he felt that nothing was needed but the
opportunity to stimulate them to the widest
violence. Baltimore was completely in the
hands of reckless and blood thirsty men.
They thought the Government powerless.
Freedom of opinion was only tolerated on
one side. The newspapers with the exception
of the Baltimore American, added fuel to the
fire, and Union men were constrained to ST.
lence to save person and properly. The ma
tions capital was almost entirely unprotected,
and although the North was at last rousing
to full sense of the public peril, as yet no
troops had gone forward in response to the
call of the Executive. Acting under the ad-
vice and the exhortations of Mr.. Barnum,
Mr.. Summer rose early on the morning of the
18th, and in a private carriage crossed the
then quiet streets of the city to the Phila-
delphia station, where he entered the first
train eastward, reaching Philadelphia in few
hours. Had he taken the train of the 10th
instead of the 18th he would undoubtedly have
been among the first victims of the rebellion,
and possibly Barnum's Hotel would have fall
len before the il.furiated fiends who were
seeking for objects upon which to wreak their
vengeance and their ingratitude.

THE POLARLS AT GREENLAND.

Dispatches from Capt. Hall, commanding
the Polaris, dated Holsteinberg, Greenland,
Aug. /, were received at the Navy Depart
ment Saturday, reporting the arrival there of
the Polaris on the 3lst of July. They were
agreeably surprised to meet the Swedish ex-
petition, consisting of brig and small
steamer, under the command of T. w. Won
Otter, which had been to Disco and Upernavik
and is now on its return homeward. With
the exception of gale which broke upon the
Polaris on the evening on which they left
Fiscanoes, the voyage was pleasant one.
The Swedish expedition brought highly ina
protant news from Upernavik. The season
for Arctic navigation is reported better than
any for several years no ice, save occasional
bergs between Holsteinberg and Disco, and
between the latter place and Upernavik, had
been seen for several weeks. Gov. Elberg of
the Holsteinberg District has provided Capt.
Hall with all the aid he can give.
The Polaris was, at the date Of Capt. Halls
report, awaiting the arrival of the transport
Congress. If she did not arrive by the 9th
inst. the Polaris would weigh anchor for
Good Haven, whence Capt. Hall would make
arrangements for raising enough coal to last
until the transport should reach them. Capt.
Hall expected to get supply of reindeer furs
at Holsteinberg, but none could be found, the
reindeer of late years having been nearly all
killed off in that neigh borhood. They must,
therefore, depend on Discoupermoik and
Smith Sound for their Winter furs and sledge
dogs.
The ships company of the Polaris have
been in good health and spirits since leaving
New York; and all remain sanguine that
during the next year their discoveries will
reach to the North Pole.
