New York, April 1.-THE finding
Of the jury Of inquisition In the Jewett
tragedy IL as follows:

his death by an expiosion Of hand
grenade, at I62 Front stseet, on Thurs
day, April 5tb, 1874. aud WAS brought
to the Office by OrvilIe ID. Jewets; and
that said Orville ID. levitt came to his
death by pistol shot wounds, caused
by firing Oh pistol by said 0rville d.
Jewett.
II Is generally believed that Orville
Jewett premeditsted and planned the
murder of his brother, consequent on
the formers dissatisfaction as to the
dissolution OF the partnership. 1t
seems evident that after throwing the
grenade and finding himself compare
lively unhurt, Orviile, carrying out his
preconeeived plan for which he had
amply provided himself, drew o small
revolver aud discharged all four bar
rels into his breast. Charles Taintor.
son-in-law Of George w. Jewett, has
made the following statement: He
was sitting In the main office when
the explosion occurred and was partly
stunned. Immediately he heard his
father-in Law call him by name, and
be rushed into the rear Office, and In
the gloom caused by the smoke he saw
George w. Jewett lying on the floor,
with Orvilie ID. Jeweit lying partly
over him. As he went in Mr.. Dean
came out wringing his banda. Orville
rolled of his uncle, aud Taintor cav
that he had . pistol In bis hand,
small oEe, like the Eharp's pistol

saw orvilis place Il to his breast and
Ere more than once. Mr.. Taintor
rushed out Of the place, and down

Mr.. George w. Jewett was taken from
the rear room he went to Staten IsIand
and informed his family of his death.

Goats for MIR.

In many hilly portions of Eu.
rope goats are kept to a considera-
bic extent for milk, and in some
sections the milk is largely manu-.
featured into cheese. The Toronto
Globe says there seems to be SET
ting in a fashion to keep goats for
their milk in that section, and com
ments upon it after this humorous
style: What not? These sweet
scented animals have a decided adj
vantage over the COW kind. They
are better foragers, aud cost little
or nothing to keep. An ordinary
garden fence is nothing TO an en-
terprIsing member Of the Capra
family, and they are not at all par
ticular in their choice of tender
plants. When young herbs OF ear
ly lettuce fail, there are many yari-
cites of flowers and garden plants
that serve for u meal and when
shut off from this delicate diet, a
clean-washed Sunday shirt can be
disposed of with considerable relish.
And then their literary apppetites
are amusing. They will discuss
the merits Of the largest morning
newspaper in two minutes, by a
Shrewsbury clock, and digest it too,
for hat matter. They are also re-
markedly playful, and take especial
delight in butting the children for
pastime. But their browning glory
is the delicious odor they exhale.
Lubin's choicest extracts are moth
ing to it, for when a goat is within
forty yards of the house one fan
cies himself wandering in the
groves Of Araby. BY all means,
cultivate the goat.

The GAINESVILLE correspondent Of

tied compliment to a worthy gen
tleman who has lately come into
our midst:
The appointment Of Major James
Montgomery as superintendent OF the
consolidated divisions (CIarksville aud
Memphis) on the Louisville and Nash
vile and Great Southern railroad is a
most excellent selection, and is another
proof Of the sagacity of President
Standiferd. Major Montgomery has
earned his %laurels by the closest atten-
ton to his duties from that of master
mechanic up TO his present position-the
most important on the whole line Of the
road. He is, comparatively speaking,
a young man, aud his future bids fair to
place him upon the highest round Ct the
ladder in his profession.

London dlobe.J
Much has been SAID lately about
the inyigorating properties of the
"coca' leaf and the remarkable
effects it produces in enabling men
to sustain long-continued exertion
without loss Of power and during
abstinence from ordinary food.
The sudden ~notoriety into which
this drug has sprung has caused the
rival claims of other similar agents
to be brought forward. In Mexico
two beverages known as "pulque "
and "mezcal," the product of the
same plaut-the agave or American
~aloe--are largely used III various
diseases, and especially in cases
where there is a loss of vital ener-
gy, either through fatigue or sick
ness. The former LIQUID is less
potent than the latter, and is large
ly consumed, its immediate effects
being similar to alcoholic stimu-
lants taken in excess it causes
drunkenness, but in moderation it
restores the sickly to strength and
keeps the hale and hearty in perfect
health. The "mezcaI" is a less
exciting, but more powerful tonic.
Its flavor is said to be exquisite.
Taken in small doses it sharpens
the appetite, aids digestion, and
generally gives a tone to the con-
stitution. Such at least are the
virtues Of these Mexican products
as described by a native gentleman
who has forwarded samples of the
stuff to be examined by the medical
faculty in Paris. The other rival
of the "coca" comes from Austria
liza, and is the product of a plant of
the order salanacee. 1t is known
by the name of ''pitury," and is
much patronized by the natives of
Central Australia. Baron Ferdi-
nand Won Muller, who has long
been trying to find the origin of a
stimulant which he knew to be
used by the inhabitants to inyigo-
rate them during their long foot
journeys through the deserts, States
that he has at last proved it to be
produce of a species of the
Duboisa, which thriyes in many
parts of Australia. The leaves
have a burning acrid taste, and are
carried in small bags and occasion
ally chewed, Just as the "coca "
are used by the natives of
America. 1t is quite posi-
that in the simple medicines of
the simple blacks Of the antipodes
we may find a new and important
product yielding valuable results in
the hands of the skilled physician.
