Proof for Col. crowninshieId.


The estate owned by the late Col.
Crowninshiefd, one of Marblehead's
most aristocratic citizens, adjoins the
pasture of William Farmer, a sturdy
farmer. A valuable dog owned by the
colonel used to rum into the pasture
and annoy the farmers cows. Farmer
went to Col. Crowninshield and re-
quested that the annoyance be stop
ped, only to receive the reply, How
do you know it is my dog?"
How do 1 know" replied the other,
with rising indignation; why haven t
/ seen him.
.sYou must bring me better proof, I"
replied the colonel, as he turned cold
1y away.
''All right, SIR said the farmer, in
an unmistakable tone, "the next time
the dog bothers my cows I'll bring you
all the proof necessary in a wheelbar-
row."
The dog never bothered the cows
afterward--Boston Herald.

ington hospital, where he died with
out recovering consciousness on the
morning of the following day, Oct.
z. 1S49''
Totally opposed to this story is the
account given by Miss Poe few
weeks ago. Said she:
"On the night of Oct. 3 George Poe,
ST., my gradfather. was hurrying down
Calvert street when he saw lying
beneath the steps of the old Baltimore
museum Con the site of the present
Baltimore and Ohio building) a man,
as he thought, in a drunken Stupor.
Pity for the unfortunate caused him
to stop and investigate, when, to his
horror, he saw it was his cousin
Edgar. Quickly calling for a carriage
and sending for Nelson Poe, who
lived near by, he took the drugged
poet to the Washington hospital. Doc
tors worked for days to restore him,
but he never recovered consciousness,
and so nothing could be learned from
him about the cause of his condition.
ing following he passed away as the
bells which he loved were ringing out
their unconscious requiem
Graves of Lanier and Booth.
In speaking of Poe one cannot but
refer here to the graves of two other
young men the tragedy of whose lives
is known to the world. At the foot of
a gently sloping hill in historic old
Greenmount cemetery sleeps Sidney
Lanier, the poet Save a simple little
white headstone, without lettering or
design, his grave is absolutely un-
marked. 1t lies in a lot owned by
Lawrence Turnbull, and beside the
poet are buried two little children
whom he dearly loved.
In another part of the cemetery, its
long, low, ivy covered mound lying
behind a slender marble plinth, is the
grave of John Wilkes Booth. 1t has
no slab or stone to show whose body
lies beneath, and this is Intentional.
The marble plinth marks the center
of the lot in which the entire Booth
family is buried, including Junius
Brutus Booth, the elder. From all
points of the country daily visitors,
from the theatrical profession chiefly,
make their way to this marble shaft
and when they depart the silent SYM
patty of their hearts for the ill starred
young actor whose mistaken zeal
plunged nation into grief finds ex-
preston in the floral tributes that re-
main behind on his obscure resting
place.

The mention of old Washington hos

memory of Poe's tragic death and the
discrepancies in the various accounts
of it. The grief of that tragedy has
always made it tender subject with
members of the Poe family. but re-

third cousin of the poet, has broken
the family reticence on the subject
