Some two months ago, Rev. Dr. J. Brinton
Smith, clergyman residing in tho suburbs of
Raleigh, N c.. suddenly died, under circumstAn-
ces which caused a suspicion that he had been
poisoned. His wife, and married daughter,
Mrs. Mann, have now been arrested, charged
with administering strychnine to him, in dose
of Seidlhz powders. The stomach was sent to
Philadelphia, and its contents anayzed by Prof
Genth, OF the University OF Pennsylvania, and
traces Of strychuine found it. Raleigh cor
respondent says:
Upon the finding OF the verdict, by the Cor
oner's jury, the Sheriff went out to their resi-
dence late in the evening, in close carriage,
accompanied hy the attorney OF the accused, Il.
IL. Battle, Jr Eeq, and the four returned about
dusk and quietly driving to the Jail there the
Sheriff delivered over to the jaior and the dun

charged with the dreadful crime Of murder upon
their own husband and father. They were in
deep mourning and heavily veiledi both audibly
sobbing, am told, as they left the carriage and
entered the jail.
"The clrcumstantial evidence against them is
very strong, but net by any means conclusive.

i deceased had long been in the habit OF taking
/ strychnine incidentally. by the advice and pres

| moreover, that he had but a short time before
his death received from this physician written
/ warning against the long continuance Of the ha
bitual dose even as prescribed, upon the ground
that its effects were cumulative, and might a

"In the meantime whether they be guilty o

A shorl Crop oI Champngns.

It will be held to be dismal news by many who

The demand is enormously in excess OF the sup
