Poke severely in the wrist. The wound

CAMDEN.
Meeting Of the coroner's Jury 10 1nvestf.
gate the Death of Almatia Heal.

CAMDEN, Dec l6.
The excitement at Lincolnville, over the
mysterious death of Almatia n. Heal, Nov.
7th, was renewed today by the meeting of the
coroner's jury at Centre Lincolnville. The
object of the meeting was to hear the report
of the analysis of the girls stomach by the
medical authorities at Brunswick, but the
report did not arrive. The jury announced
that they had adjourned to the first Monday
in May. One of the reasons given for such
long adjournment was that possibly the
girls mother, who became insane few days
after her daughters death, and was carried
to the Insane Asylum at Augusta, might re-
cover in that time and be able to give impor-
tant testimony. Another reason was that the
jury should have copy Of the report OF the
ANALYSIS when it came, and, if the stomach
contained poison, an opportunity would be
had before next May to look up testimony to
throw light on the mystery. The opinion
seems to be gaining ground that Almatia was
badly and perhaps brutally treated by her
parents on the day of her death, and bard
stories are told about both parents, especially
the father, before and since the death. The
circumstances of her death, briefly stated,
are as follows: Having engaged young
man from Lincolnville to take her home, and
with whom she also engaged to go to dance
on the following Friday night, she reached
home Tuesday, Nov. 9th, in good health,
about two o'clock, p NJ. Feeling thirsty she
drank considerable cider, which went to her
head afterward making her sick. Her mother,
with whom she had previously had some
harsh words, put her to bed and gave her
chamomile tea to drink, at least Mrs. Heal
80 stated before she became insane. The girl
continued ill through the night, and died
shortly after midnight with no one but her
parents near her. Mrs. Heal, it is reported,
stated to a neighbor that the girl made so
much noise that it was necessary to hold
cloth to her mouth. From this cause many
link the girl died.

Some papers persist in publishing the
false report that Hon. John F. Potter OF
Wisconsin, is an inmate of a poorhouse at
Mukwago, that State. and in dying
condition. Mr.. Potter has two brothers
in this city, among the most respectable
and reliable citizens. From them we
learn that their brother in Wisconsin Is
far from being a pauper, or in a dying
condition. He owns fine estate on which
he resides, has other property, the whole
making quite a handsome fortune. He is
seventy-flve years old and his health is
good. When member of the XXXVIth
Congress he created great sensation by
his defiance to southern DULLES and the
manner in which he took down" one of
them who challenged him to fight duel.
In hot debate, in 1861, with Mr.. Roger
A. Pryor of Virginia, rampant fire-ealer
and secessionist, Mr.. Potter called the
latter liar Mr.. Pryor demanded salts
faction, and sent challenge to Mr.. Pot
ter by his friend Lawrence nj. Keith OF
South Carolina. Mr.. Potter Immediately
responded by his friend, Gen. Lander, ac-
cepting the challenge, and choosing Bowie
knives as the weapon, dark room as the
place, and seconds to be armed with Colts
revolvers. The duel never took place.
and the southern members after that gave
Mr.. Potter wide berth, and he became
quite hero among the people of the
North who despised the bullying manners
Of the South and were pleased to witness
their discontinue at their own game.

Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenent, issued
three new proclamations, late last evening,

The Boston Globe gives the following in
teresting account of the Millsdale herds of
South Carolina:
Probably enc of the largest herds of Jersey
cattle in the South is that at Millsdale farm.
Greenville, s. c., owned by Messrs. Mills &
Walker. OF these gentlemen Mr.. James
Walker is a we'll known resident of Boston,
while Capt. o. p. Mills, his partner. is a
South Carolinian. Their farm comprises
325 acres.and is situated one and a half miles
from Greenvilp Court House. When they
started IN business. about three wears ago,
they began with Tennessee and Kentucky
bred Jerseys. They soon found, however,
that these cattle did not acclimate and were
predisposed to fatal disease Indeed it is a
common belief in South Carolina that any
cow or calf brought from the other side Of
the Cumberland mountains will die Mr..
Walker being aware of this fact from bitter
experience turned his attention to buying in
Maine instead. Last January he bought four
head of Jerseys from Messrs. George Baneh-
ard { Brother, Broadmoor Farm, Cumber-
land, all young stock. MIR. Walker saws that
last August, when he was in South Carolina,
some of these cattle had grown TO be heifers
of fifteen months He never saw as large
ones of their age anywhere, and fine withal.
tie Is satisfied that they are more fully de-
veloped and finely finished than if they had
remained in Maine, proving clearly to his
mind that Maine is the place to buy JERSEYS
for shipment South. On the strength of this
he has recently shipped SO head of Ameri-
can Jersey Cattle Club stock Eight
of these were from Col. C. p. Mattocks.
Riverside Farm, Baldwin, Me-, and IL head
from Geo. Blanchard & Brother, Broadmoor
Farm. Cumberland, Me. Mr. Blanchards
al
concluded to try him again. and Mills and
Walker were fortunate enough to secure
from Broadmoor the Belle Broadmoor, who
has won numerous premiums at the fall
fairs. Anne Belina, No. 10 23l Dagmaulda,

Besides the herd of Messrs Mills and
Walker at Millsdale Farm there are as
already stated. three herds of Jersey cattle in
South Carolina. Hon. b F. Crayton of
Anderson, S c. has herd of about 20, Mr..
Stribling of Pendleton has herd comprising
about the same number of animals, and the
Peltzer herd of Pendleton is also noted
throughout the State. The Millsdale herd
of Messrs. Mills and Walker, however. is the
| only one in which the principle of raising
Maine stock has been strictly adhered to Up
to the present day they have never had an
animal die on the farm. The explanation of
this they fine in the fact that Maine bred
cattle. although as a family they require
extra care, will undergo hardship and pri-
walton better than native stock, acclimate
more readily and not succumb so easily to
disease.

Agricultural Returns.

The December corn returns of the De
parrment of Agriculture made direct CON-
parison with the product of last year. In
November the yield per acre was reported,
and in October last the condition of the
growing crop. The range OF variation in the
results of these three separate tests is but
three per cent. With so slight a difference
the tendency of more accurate information
is towards reduction. The present and final
returns aggregate in round numbers 1,625.-
OOO, 900 bushels Permanent estimates will
be published after an analysis of records OF
the areal condition and production of the
year, and a conscientious adjustment of all
possible differences.
