Marbourg, called and sworn —I was in Bedford on the Ist day of August: reside opposite Mengel's; I was called from my sta ble; Crouse was in my office when 1 saw him; he was still breathing when T came in my of fice; he breathed about 10 minutes; he was not conscious, he died there; there was a post mortem examination; Dr. W. Watson and I made it; there was a Coroner's jury; made examination in its presence; I found that he was shot just below the left shoulder; the ball passed through the lung downward, and cut the left pulmonary artery and the aorta just below the arch. The aorta is the large artery which supplies the whole body with blood: the ball then passed down into the spinal column, into the 6th or 7th verte bra: it lodged in the spinal column; it was about one-fourth of an inch from goigg into the spinal marrow; the ball that entered the body caused his death: the severing of either of the arteries would place it beyond all hu man power to save; the ball passed very close to the heart but did not cut it. Cross-examined —The ball entered on the left side, two inches below the left shoulder; it was lodged in the left spine; it was lodged below the line in which it entered; it indica ted a stooping posture: about four inches above where it was lodged. l>r. Wm. Watson sworn —I knew Jacob Cron3e; saw him on the day of his death: I saw him at Dr. Marbourg's office; he was dead: assisted to make post mortem examina tion; Crouse was shot in the left breast;wound penetratiug the left lung severing the left pul monary artery, and also the descending aor ta and lodged iii the sixth dorsal vertebra. The course of the ball was the cause of his death; the cutting of either of these arteries would cause death: the hall passed close to the heart; within an inch and a half. Cross-examined —Tt passed from above the heart; the ball passed several inches below the left shoulder: the sixth dorsal vertabra, where the ball lodged, is about six or eight inches below where- the hall entered; 1 traced the eyurse of the ball; it uiet no rq.tistence safe the tissues through which it pasrf&d; it passed direct to its lodgment; if standing erect the ball would have pursued a different course; Crouse must have been stooping when shot.

Mrs. Hunt died within a few miles of the place of her birth. She was familiar with the early his tory of her native country, and witnessed great changes in her own eveutlul life. She was a good woman, and, for many years, a consistent mem ber of the Presbyterian church. She retained her mental vigor until the last. Ilcr views of relig ious truth were remarkably clear, and her faith in Christ was as unfaltering as it wag intelligent. About a year ago her house was entirely consum ed, and therefore she lived in the midst of discom forts, ye; was submissive and patient. The last remark she made to the writer, in early autumn, was; "I hope to go to a better house before winter comes." God granted her desire, and removed her to a "house not made with hands, eternal in tho heavens."
