EVANSVILLE, Ind, April l3.-Edward
Leyer, German farmer, suicided Tuesday
evening by means of an unknown agency,
probably hydrocyanic acid. furnished by
his wife. He had been convicted of poison
ing the cistern of Frederick Cook, and thus
causing the death of Mrs Cook, and of the
poisoning of several others, His counsel
proved that though the cistern was poison
ed, vet the stomach of the deceased upon
analyzation showed no poison, and con
tended that the poison had been put in the
cistern after her death by an enemy Of
Leyer.
The prosecution proved, by eminent
medical authority. that the presence oi
poison in the stomach was not necessarily
evidence of the fact
Leyer was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, which made him morose anc
gloomy.
The coroner's jury to day returned {
verdict accordingly.
To-day his son, who was under joint in
dictment, fed, but wrote back confessine
the deed and exculpating his father.
It is considered most remarkable cas-
] in all its phases.

drake Pills act the liver, removing all obstruc-
tons, relax the ga bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon received

promising prospect of an accommodation.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to Intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.
