light in the town Of Hampton, N. Y. About two

Granville, Vt, was taken to Hampton for the
ostensible purpose of making clothes, in which
to take journey. On the 18th of August she
died, after being visited once or twice by doc
ter named Streeter. Her friends intended to
remove the body on the 18th instant, but par
ties there, who mistrusted that foul play had
taken place, prevailed on the grand Jury to
hold the remains, and a coroner's jury was
summoned and held an investigation. DR.. L.
ID. Rose. of Poultney, and DR.. Belden, OF
Whitehall, made an examination, and both de-
ciared that an abortion had been procured
within ten days. DR.. Streeter, 1t is said is not

not so much OF being drowned as of being
poisoned. This was the case with An nnfnrtr.
nate man on whose body an inquest was held hy
the coroner at Stafford. 1t seems the deceased
fell into the lrwell while looking at the regatta,
ana according to the medical evidence the
cause OF his death was the fouiness of the water.
he had been in the river about ten minutes
when he was helped out, but died in forty
eight hours.
