STRANGE SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY.  An in quiry terminated in London on Monday, as to the death of Miss Caroline Eliza Perry, aged 19, daughter of Mr. Perry, of Christow, near Exeter, which had taken place at the residence of her aunt, Edgwareroad, under such peculiar circumstances that the coroner had felt it is duty to direct an analysis of the contents of the stomach by the medical officer of health (Dr. Wynter Blyth). Mrs. Julia Perry, mother of the deceased, stated that deceased, after leaving school, had been a governess some 15 or 16 months. She went to London on a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Caroline Hudson, on the 22nd of September. Deceassd was of a most cheerful disposition, well behaved, of sober habits, and spoke of her happiness when asking to be permitted to stay bnger. Mrs. Caroline Hudson said deceased had a cough' but was otherwise in good health up to Sunday last. On that day they went torther to the Zoological Gardens. On Monday morning she went out, and on returning about 11 o'clock, she found deceased lying on the couch seemingly very ill. Deceased did not object to a doctor, but begged her sot to send for her mother. Witness sent Mr. Miles, a friend orhers, a dealer in jewelery, in Sale-street, Paddington, who came in, for Dr. Raynor. After Dr. Raynor had seen deceased, a chemist came, and then Dr. Raynor asked witness to leave the room while her servant remained. She believed that death took place about an hour after, but she did not know exactly, she was in such a fright. She could in no way account for the death of deceased, who was of a most cheerful disposition. She was not upset by anything. She did not know if deceased had any male acquaintance, but it was her custom to take a walk every morning by herself in the park. Emily Loader, servant to Mrs. Hudson, said on Monday morning deceased, who seemed perfectly well, got up about seven, and had her breakfast at eight o'clock. Mrs. Hudson went out about a quarter to nine, and the deceased came and asked her what she was to do about her clothes, as Captain Day, who had engaged rooms was coming in that morning. She told her what to do, and presently deceased asked for a cup of tea, which she made her. About half-past nine, wanting some soap, she called to deceased to give her the key of the store cupboard, but receiving no answer, she went into the sitting-room, and found her lying on the couch on her back, stretched out as if in an hysterical fit. She was quite sensible, and witness begged her to cry, as it would relieve her, and she rep ied she could not. She roused deceased with some water, and she thed said, "Oh, don't leave me? don't leave me ! " and asked for another cup of tea, which she gave her, she observed that her face became alternately white and red, while at times it twitched and she appeared convulsed. The deceased said she had done something wrong, repeating it twice; but on being asked what she had done, she said she would not tell. Mrs. Hudson. returned home about half-past ten with Miss Bartlett She told her about deceased, and advised a doctor to be sent for; and Mr. Miles, who came in at the moment, went for one, and returned with Dr. Raynor. When he came deceased expressed a wish to be alone with the doctor. The coroner, as Dr. Blyth had not had time to make the analysis, here suggested an adjournment, but some of the jurors desired before doing so to hear what evidence Mr. Miles had to give. James Miles was then examined, and said he resided at Paddington, and was a valuer and dealer in jewellery, his busmen@ being private. He had not been out with deceased at any time, and never paid attentions to her, as he did not like her. He had never heard her threaten to take her life in any way. He believed she was jealous because her aunt used to walk out with him in the evening without taking her. Sometimes her aunt used to tell her that all her money and property was left to her, and at other times to him; but he looked upon it as idle talk. There was nothing wrong on Mrs. Hudson's part as far as he knew. The medical evidence showed that the deceased died from the effect • of strs chnine and brucine poisoning; and the jury found that death was wised by strychnine poi-ooing ; self administered while in a state of mental excitement.  A manifesto to the Irish mos has been issued by the Fenian brotherhood in America, in which they are asked to remember that God has placed within their reach resources of civilization to overthrow tyranny, and that if they have the manhood to use them they may yet gladden the hearts of a liberty-loving people by striking the pirate of the world to her knees. They declare that they speak with a hope and a oonfidenee greater than they ever posseeised before. In the name of Ireland they call on the Irish pe)ple for a (*nation of those societies and personal and political hostilities that make them appear a disunited`people. They have made the greatest possible efforts 40 Uly to ma& eeveral of the Irish national societies, affd they are working now, ttiLinzifeeto *dens with tike klus. NI %Aid  IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO COUGH!
