went to church and after service we went 10 Mr..

sHAKY ToNs0RIAL OPERATION.
One Sunday morning we got up and were
going to church. 1 commenced to shave HIM.
as 1 always shaved him two or three times
week, on account of his hands trembling, so
that he could not shave himself Then he was
taken with dizziness, and said he would go out
and feed the horse, and he might feel better.
He came back and commenced to shave him
again, when saw that he felt bad, and thought
we would not 60 to church. He had three Of those
dizzy times during the forenoon. l thought he
was going to have sick turn. He had two or three
turns when we had been married about three
months. When he had one Of these bad spells he
made his wil or rather Mr.. William Bennett made
It for him. This happened some time before Mr..
Hurlburt was taken sick the last time.
He continued quite feeble but he split little
wood and said he thought he would try and work 1t
on. He was quite anxious to do what he had to do.
Monday evening one OF the neighb0rs gave him
some clans and ! cooked some for supper, and
after supper he said he wanted glass Of cider.
told him that he had better not drink 1t after he
had been eating clans.
He took pitcher and went down the cellar and
drew some, and he wanted me to have some, but
told him no, and did not drink II. He said he
would take some with saleratus In 1t, and he went
into the pantry and fixed It. That night he was In
great distress all night. On Tuesday morning he
got up and went into the pantry, but DO not know
what he tooh. He was in the habit Of
TAKING HIS BTTTERS IN THE MORNING.
he was sick all OF that day, and he did not do
anything. asked him in the afternoon II he did
not think he ought to have doctor, He said
mo, )" and that he would be better. That night he
took another glass OF cider. whether he put any
thing In 1t or not do not know. To my knowledge
he never took anything wrong; but Mr.. Hurlburt
awhile before this asked MIR. Henry NorthrOp to get
him some arsenic, as he had some rats about the
house, ana think that his (Northrop's) wife OBJ
jected to his getting It, and don't know whether
there was any in the house or not. Mr.. Eurlburt
used saleratus in his cider, and l remember of
having two papers that supposed to be saelratus,
but they both may not have contained it, think
30 for this reason, and should say that this hap
pened some time before Mr.. Hurlburt was taken
sick MY son, John Struck, was up on o visit to
my house. MIR. Rurlburt and John and myself were
going out to spend an evening at Mr.. Charles Tom
| linsOn's but before we went Mr.. Hurlburt and
John took drink Of liquor. Ny husband asked me
to have some, and said mo, don't want any;"
but that would take some cider, ana he put some
saeratps IN the cider and gave 1t to me to drink,
and drank 1t.
SIZE TAKES LITTLE HERSELF.
Then we started for Mr. Tomlinsons to spend the
evening. think never felt better than did be-
fore drank the cider. We had not got far from
our house when began to be Dizzy and had to
stand stn until got over it, We went IN to Mr..
