FRIENDS YEARLY MEETING IN BALTIMORE.

FRIENDS YEARLY MEETING IN BALTIMORE
Among the notable ministers in attendance
we see the venerable Benjamin Halewell, for
merly of Alexandria, Va, where for many
years he conducted school, in which many
prominent southerners were pupils, among
them the afterward distinguished general Ro-
bert E. Lee. Benjamid HalloWelfis one of the
orignatcrs Of the present system of Govern
mental management of Indian affairs, and is
one of President Grant most trusted advisers
on this subject He is about seventy
years of age, and was once robust, but
shows something of the frailty of old age.
He is not fluent speaker, but is ready
writer, and one of the best educated
men 10 the country, being particularly eminent
as naturalist. He has written much upon
social and philosophical subjects, and is one of
the leading minds in the Friends denomina-
ton.
The Janneys are also prominent members of
this yearly meeting. Samuel Nj. .Janney is a
widely-known Virginian, who has also been con-
nected with the Indian service, having been
superintendent in charge of one Indian Depart
ment for three years, sacrificing the comforts of
home and friends, and solely on account of
what he felt to be religious duty required of
him, laboring for the benefit of the savage
wards of the nation. His brother, Asa N.
Janney, who occupied similar position with
another branch Of the Indian service, is here
also. Samuel NJ. is another who stands high
in the estimation of Friends. His principal
works are Life of William Penn" and
"History of Friends" but he is fne essayist,
and volume of poems that he published sew
eral years ago merits warm commentator.
Among the other notable men of the meeting
is the Venerable John Needles, now 10 bis eighty
fifth year. who has attended for sixty four years
without ever missing a single meeting He
was formerly engagedin the furniture business
but retired from trade a good many years ago,
and has since devoted himself to philanthropic
objects. Hei one of the finest, most beneyo-
lent men living. Correspondence

BIsNUTH.- defence in the trial of Mrs.
Lloyd at I.eesburg, charged with the murder of
her daughter, took the unexpected line of con-
ceeding the presence of arsenic in the body OF
the daughter Maud, and maintaining that the
medicine administered to the child in her last
illness contained arsenic. The attending ply
stefan. prescribed bismuth for the child, and the
experts called for the defence were able to show
that this bismuth prepared BY Philadelphia
drug house, really showed traces Of arsenic.
The quantity was small but was sufficient TO
explain the presence Of the arsenic IN the body
on theory consistent with the innocence OF the
accused. The chemical experts for the prose
cution acknowledge the correctness of the re-
suits obtained by the experts for. the defence,
and that the bismuth really contained arsenic.
The bismuth remaining has been procured for
thorough scientific investigation by medical
men in Baltimore and elsewhere, and the re-
suits will be looked for with interest," Wash

VIRGINIA, STATE AGRICULTURAL F-NR.-
Of the ahnna exhibition Of the Virginia State

Agricultural Society; which, closed at Rich
mond. on Friday last, the Wing says:
With respect to the success of the fair, oHin.
ions are divided. The receipts are reported
good, and the crowd 90 Thursday was very
large. These, in the estimation Of som:, are
the main elements in a air. Others form their
estimate by the variety and excellence Of the
articles on exhibition. In the judrmcnt OF
these, the late fair is the least crcditab!c that
the State society has ever held. In many de-
partments there was marked falling off from
former years. While there were some good
sheep and hogs and cattle, the number was far
below the average Of former fairs. The de-
partment of machinery was also inferior. The
poultry was the only one We have heard spoken
of as indicating decided improvement. -
There was an evident Indifference on the part
of exhibitors, which argued screw loose some.
where. Whether this be owing to the fault Of
the management, to insufficient premi ums, or
to waning interest among the people We do
not undertake to say. We have heard the
subject freely canvassed, and all three causes
assigned by different persons.
