POISONED BY INDIAN MEAL.

family named Eaton, consisting OF father,
mother and three children, residing at No. 1856
Grand street. Williamsburgh, awoke yesterday
morning suffering severely from the evident effects
Of poison. A physician was promptly summoned,
who administered antidotes and attended them
until they exhibited signs OF convalescence. The
family attribute their poisoning to an Indian meal
supper OF which they had partaken, and which
they had pur chased ut neghbOring grocery store.
They are inclined to the opinion that the meal was
poisoned by lead in the grinding. Last evening all
the family were doing well, except Mrs. Eaton,
who was still suffering. Mr.. Eaton partOok spar
in.ly Of the food and was only slightly affected.

THE MONTHLY COAL SALE.

Yesterday, at No. 20 Exchange place, the rooms
OF the Delaware Lackawanna and western Rail-
road took place the usual monthly coal sale.
Ninety thousand tons were offered and disposed Of
on the usual terms and conditions. The attendance
was smaller than usual, and many expressed sur
prise that in the present condition OF the money
market the company had offered so much. Yet the
prices commanded shows but a small decline over
the rates realized In August. On stove coal alone
was there an advance, but 1t was very trihing. On
all other brands there was a very small decline,
but not sufficient to materially affect the retail
market. The following are the amounts sold and
the prices realized, as compared with last months

BLOUNTvILLE, Tenn, Nov. 90, 1878.
EDITORS CHRONICLE; To-day case of
murder, theState VS.. Saml Phryer brought
to this county by change of venue from
Carter, was finally concluded by the jury
bringing in verdict of Not Guilty"
The case has occupied the attention of the
Court since Monday, and has been the eX-
citing case in the courts of Carter and Sui
livan for the past two years. Attorney
General Hacker, aided by Mr.. Upton, of
Elizabethton, conducted the prosecution
with skillful ability, and the defense was
successfully made by Burson, of Bristol,
Emmett, of Elizabethton, Haynes, of
Blountville, and Netherland, of Rogers
vile, the old hero of so many like scenes.
Col. Netherland stands unrivaled as jury
lawyer, and his argument in the trial
of the cause that has Just been ended
is said to have been by those
who have been listening to him
for thirty years, one of the ablest of his
life, though. past the age of three score
years with, perhaps, the ten added. The
prisoner, although he has now been for
more than twenty months in close confine-
ment, did not have the pleasure of return
ing to his home and loved ones. When the
verdict of not guilty was announced the
foreman had scarcely spoken the word, be-
fore the Sheriff had him again in custody
for malicious stabbing, Our court being
engaged in the murder trial, aud owing to
the large number of witnesses from an
other county being in attendance upon it,
the court was not adjourned for the whole
day to observe Thanksgiving, but His
Honor adjourned long enough to let liti-
giants, lawyers and jurors attend Divine
service and hear an eloquent and appro-
pirate sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Robinson,
Of the NJ. L. Church South. The congre-
CATION presented rather a novel scene, for
the prisoner that vas being tried
for the high Crime OF murder expressed
a desire to attend service, and our humane
| and kind heartfelt judge, appointed an Of
! fcer to accompany him thither, and the
prisoner under strong guard, with his wife
and baby, worshipped in the same house
| with the Judge and Attorney, before who,
| and by whom he was on trial for his life.
For the first time in several years we get

Agricultural Items.

Vermont farmers are picking up 400
bushels of potatoes to the acre, and that's
all they know about the panic.
The sugar crop is above the average this
year in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
and below in Florida, Texas and Louisi-
ana.
The Lansing (NIichigan) journal says
that the apple crop of the State is turning
out even better than was anticipated.
One man has purchased at Parma alone,
during the present season, $4,000 worth.
The root crop of the Michigan College
Farm, at Lansing, this yeor will amount
to nearly 10000 bushels. The crop was
grown on seventeen acres of ground thus
giving yield of about 900 bushels per acre.
AK extensive English farmer says that
on two fields he has grown fifteen crops of
grain, wheat and beans in succession, with
out fallow, and last years crop of wheat
was forty bushels per acre. On two other
fields he has grown fifteen successive crops
of wheat, the last crop equalling forty BUSH
els per acre.
The Earl of Warwick pays $4,000 q year
for the sewage of the towns of Warwick
and bennington, which is used in irrigat-

top of hill, and, after flowing over The

pid condition.
