Converse Rowell died at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law, J. B. Free
man, on Thursday last, aged "a
years. He was born in New Hamp-
shire, but moved into Albany many
years ago, and lived there until a
few years since, when he moved to
this village. He was q pleasant,
intelligent man, noted for probity of
charteracter and perfect habits. In
his younger days he held many offices
of trust in his town, being constable
many years. His daughter, Mrs.
Freeman, died little more than a

Mrs. George W. Drew took quar-
ter of an ounce of cedar oil at the
Avenue House, St. Johnsbury, Mon
day evening at six O'Clock, then call
ed her husband and told him what
she had done, undressed herself and
went to bed. Mr.. Drew called DR..
Calderwood who arrived in about
| fifteen minutes after she had taken
the drug. He administered a pow
erful emetlc at once, and the patient
vomited copiously, but not until she
| went into a convulsion, and notwith-
standing every effort of Drs. Calder
wood and Folsom, she had frequent
spasms for two hours, when she be-
came quiet and rested some during
the night. Mrs. Drew is about
twenty years old and has been mar
ried nearly two years. They went
to ST. Johnsbury from Glover last
July and Mr.. Drew has been employ
ed as clerk at the Avenue House,
There was no apparent cause fol
this rash act, but it is said that med,
dlesome people had said things tC
make trouble between husband anC
wife. Although Mrs. Drew was re.
lieved of the immediate effects of the
poison, her throat and stomach were
greatly infamed, and the terrible
commissions experienced have seri
ously affected her brain. AS Mr.
and Mrs. Drew have each lived il
this place, much interest is felt il
the unfortunate affair.
