Dr.Noblnger, an eminent physician, says: " I regard the post mortem examination as extremely defective and slovenly. It did not prove that death did not result from natural causes. Nearly oil the symptoms in Miss b/s case might hay® been the result of disease of the kidneys. In my own practice 1 met a case strikingly similar to Miss Stlnnecke’s." Flint’s Practice of Medicine sus tains the same view. Dr. Conrad said there was no apoplexy, because he found ho clotted blood on brain/ But high medical authority maintains that apoplexy fre quently ensues, without any clot being found. Mood’s Practice, of-Medicine says; "It Is now generally admitted that death may occur with all the phenomena o! apoplexy without leaving, any observable lesions oh the blaln." Dr. Conrad says; "A part of the brain was softened." This la Bometimcsacaase ol death In old people,hud sometimes results from apoplexy. (Nlemyer—pp, 19(1,199,191). A local softening of brain Indicates a diseased brain, because the softenlbg and decomposition which begins after death. Is uniform over the whole brain. Miss : Btinnecke was a short, thick-set woman, sixty flve years of age; complained of dlaziness and 5 oppression. Gbriatlsen says: "Apoplexy oc cur* prinolpally'amonßfot‘people"; and again he says: •" 1 believe few people die of pure nar cotic poisons, who outlive twelve hours; and the great, number die much sooner—in six or eight hours—while apoplexy lasts a whole day, or even longer." If Dr. Conrad’s reason lor not ex amining the kidneys, vis: that they manifested no symptom's of a good one, It would have dispensed with his whole examina tion, The longs looked healthy; then why did he out them up and float these in water? The heart looked normal; then why did he poor water Into It? The stomach looked healthy; then why old Dr. Aiken subject It to chemical examination? Theinost experienced men in the profeulon f ,aud. nearly all tbemedieol societies In the United Btateo, ,«nanlmoualy pronounce Dr. Conrad's examination Imperfect, and his cuneloulons’iinsoand ? * Was there any evidence that prussic acid or morphia were administered, or paused Miss H.’s death? The Commonwealth claims that - the symptoms indicate morphia; and that the che mical analysis produced prussic acid: Nature may be misunderstood but she cannot lie, or be inconsistent wltbherseif. Bhe will not point in one direction by symptoms, ana in another by a correct chemical analysis. If the ante iuortem symptoms of Miss Btlnuccke emphatically deny death from prussic add, there must be some mistake in Dr. Aiken’s analysis. Dr. Aiken soy s the " iron test" gave him.a lalut trace ol a blue color. The moment be distinguished the 001. r he seVlt-Tlbllde. The vapor, or " sulphur test" gave him a .hat red celor.

Wormley says the red coloi produced by the sulphur test was not conclusive, for the same color may be produced by mocunib acid and Alkaline acetates, and It becomes absolutely necessary to deter- mine to which of these substances the red color ation is due.' He also'says'Dr. Aiken s reasons fur not using the silver test are not saustuctory, tor the chlorideol sliver cun readily be distin guished from cyanide of silver, la several ways, uy chemical examination. Frof, Wviiuley also nay a, the fact tha&pr. Aiken used sulphuric acid m procuring hie distillate wait fatal to his expe riments, because'then prussic acid would ap pear .n the distillate, whether u existed In the stomach or not. Fiussio acid may, exist In hu man saliva, or In substances harmless in>them selves; and the moment Dr. Aiken added sul phuric acid, it was placed beyond the powef 61 chemistry, In case prussic acid was discovered in the.distillate, to determine whether the poi son existed us such in the stomach, or whether it was derived from substances harmless in themselves. Dr. Antlselt, aobemistof Washing ton CHy, endorses Prof. Wormley, and quotes from Orflla to prove that prussic acid Is gener ated In bodies In a state ol decomposition. Prof. Wormley la also corroborated. by Prof. Himes,' Dr. J. J. Keese, of Philadelphia, Prof. Martin, Prof. Doremus, while Dr. Aiken stands solitary and alone. The result of Dr. Aiken’s analysis la denied by: (lie symptoms. In death from prussic acid, the; eyes are wide-open and glistening, the lips eon* vulsively pressed together, there are frequently. convulsions; the liver, heart and lungs are con gested ; foam uud froth about the mouth; purg ing; lace pallid* bloated and swollen. These ore the symptoms laid down In all the best autho ti tle*. In Miss atlnnecke’sca*©, the pupils were coiAraoted; the eyes nearly closed; mouth par tially open—Uver, lungs and heart In healthy condition; no foam or froth; no purging, and akin natural; no-odor of bitter almonds, and no convulsions. Miss 8. also lived six hours after uie last possible chance of administering prussu-- aold to her. dome of the symptoms resemble those of opium, but they are also symptoms of Bright’a dlaeaie and apoplexy. Wormley says morphia begins to manliest Itself within an bear—Aoaietimes within a few minutes—and it s fatal lu from seven to twelve hours. There are certain symptoms'peculiar to poisoning by morphia, which were absent here—such as great uilrst, itching of skin, and ability of being, roused from stupor, and these, ore common to apoplexy. The symptoms of appplexy are in sensibility—heavy respiration—eyes.contracted -hose and mouth clocked—bowels constipated and extremities cold. These were MlssgStei* ucoke’s symptoms., These scientific foots dm u.it prove the corpus delicti, and the court erreu in allowing a conviction. u Dr. Aiken stated that he was not a medical ex* and yet Uie court permitted turn u* answer questions m regard to the effects of morphia oa ure human system.

The counsel loi**defendant also recite errors in the court's answer to their points. Kaeh one of the points waetakon !op separately and com meuted upon at length, but as they cover the same ground already gone over we do not give them. The main points were that there were in- consistencies and .contradictious between the court’s answer to defendant’s (points and the statements andreasomug of the general charge —that although the court In genetstated tue principles ul law correctly, yet where they refer to the evidence, and instruct the Jury as to the application of those principles to this cose, there i* no clearness, but great confusion—that Impor tant evidence was omitted in the recital ol \he. testimony by the court, and that theories and 'conjectures were suuniitted to the. Jury os 1 evi dence. The counsel concluded wlihruu-eloqUeut appeal lu xavur of a igjeroilm construction of the principles oi criminal law. Argument lu UekalCof Consnsenwcaltb. The prisoner's csuniel assume, as a point of law.thattue corpus delicti must be proved by the scientific testimony, and that-motives and sther Criminating circumstances cannot be ta kendntd.consideration to establUh> the.cause of leatb; and they contend that IhechemlcslUuU- mony being conflicting, and all the tests for poi .ton not having been used, and as It was not proved that pbla*n had been discovered la 'suffi cient quantity to kill, or the symptoms of death by poison had not been shown, and as the post mortem examination was not complete or ex haustive, the court should have Instructed the Miry to acquit.’ T - these points the counsel for Commonwealth reply that: ' Works on medical Jurisprudence do not lay it down-as essential that pll the tesla for any par ticular prison should be. used, but) simply that the chemist should employ several tests.' El well says “a criminal la not to lui acquitted up on the assumption that a mere delicate chemi cal. might have, been adopted for the detection of pdteoh in the dead body; lor there is not a criminal ease In which a solicitor might not procure this kind of opinion in favor of the most accomplished poisoner. There are various methods of arriving at the same chemical re sult', and every analyst thinks.his process the rest,” Dr* Aiken used two of the three known teste. Taylor says " the.irbn teat -will detect us small a quantity os the silver test," He says the solphor test "surpasses any other, process yet discovered;" also that I ;in detecting the vapor the sulphur teat acts more rapidly and delicate ly than the silver teat;'* and again that" the sulphur and iron teste, when applied to the de tection of vapor, are absolutely free from any chemical abjectionagain •* when there ap pears the colored results by the Iren and sul phur tests, there can be no reasonable doubt of the presence of the poisons," Professor Otto, of j Caroline College, Geneva, says " the reaction On: ifae Iron test) Is so, delicate and characteristic as to render every other test almost superfluous : ef the snlpher teat he says "the delicacy of this test Is very great;" and of the silver test, “it is necessary to prove by other experiments that: i he precipitate rerlly contains cyanide of silver. ■ Dr. Aiken therefore complied with all the re quirements laid down by writers on toxicology. But It U said that he destroyed thevalift of bis. tests by the use of sulphuric acid.' Guy, Cbrlsti ; non, Otto and Casper, all lay it down as a rule to use sulphuric acid in the distillation; and Dr. Aiken U supported/by some of tho greatest names la the eolenUfle. world.' The objection | B that sulphuric acid may produce prussic aold rrom saliva or contents of stomach, but in this' case the stomach was entirely empty,’ Accord ing to beat authorities, a teaspoonfol of saliva contains a quantliy of prussic add so Inappreci ably small that even according to Dr. Wormly it could not be detected by chemical analysis. ' Taylor says *• it Is not necessary that chemical evidence of poisoning should be found. There are many poisons whfoh cannot be detected by chemical analysis, and there are numerous cir cumstances which may occur to prevent deteo tlon In others. If by the symptoms and post mortem appearances, with or without moral circumstances, it can be made, clear to the minds of the Jury that death bos been caused by poison, nothing more Is required; the evidence of chemical analysis may then be safely dis pensed with, Wo must not suppose thafcaebarge of poisoning cannot be sustained without chem ical evidence. In the case of Donellau. the only evidence of the nature of the poison used was the order perceived by a non-professional wit ness. A man named Thorn, was tried at Aber deen, In IH2I, for poisoning a person named f Mitchell, with, arsenic. No trace, of poison was found, but conviction took place on the evidence (ifsymptomsandpostmortem appearances. A woman was convicted of poisoning her husband/ although the ature of the poison could not be determined by the moat carefully conducted chemical analysis. Conjoined with strong mo ral oli oumatanoes, chemical evidence will often lead t* conviction, when post mortem appear anoee are entirely wanting, and the evidence irom aymptoma very Imperfect.” Wharton and HUUe aay M ohemlcaa proof of the existence ot poison,: though Important, la not essential to eonvlotloa.” Xlweil’iays “It most be remenif bered that the absence of poison, In the body, or the Collars to find It, does not prove -that poi son was not the caoaeof death. • ♦ « * Though there may be no trace of poison in the oody, as la often thecasewbea vegetable poisons have been taken, the sanroondlog circumstances and symptoms may point to a poisonous agent." Wills says: “ Huoh a doctrine has never beep ad mitted in England, and Its recognition'would be iranght with danger. Some of .the vegetable poisons scarcely admit of chemical proof; and to require It would be to proclaim Impunity to of fenders sUfed tn chemistry.” _The books con tain a nomber of case#, in which conviction tools place, although there was no chemical proof ef the existence of polfop..

As to. poat mortem appearances ami ante-mortem aymptoma, the eommdnweaUb anbmltted them to physicians who upon their oaths, expressed t hvoplnlon that death resulted from no natural cause, bat was produced by poison. The prisoner urges that because every ergon of the body was not examined; the oonrt should have decided that .the corpus dejectl; was not proved, and the defendant should have been md quitted. ■ It was only’ the oommoowenUh’a duty. to satisfy the Jury from all the evidence .that death wai caused by poison—the poat mortem examination was sustalnecf ttiw chemical an alysis, the symptoms and the appearances Boseoe says In his arimiaal efldtaee: 4 M Onibe view of; a t.odyafter death, on suspicion ui poi son, a physician may see cause Tor nut. positive? ly pronouncing that the party died from yet If the patty dhdfged' be Interested in the death; If he appears to have inado preparations of poison, apd this secretly | it ho bus discovered au expectation ot the fttiuleveut; If that event baa taken place suddenly, dnd wlthoutprevloua 111 health<: If signs agreeing with poison are ob- irifedlcal men fnay not posltlve , ly affirm that they might not be owing to other , causes—yet tbeaeonmulative strength of circum stantial, evidence may be such as to warrant conviction." There necessarily a difference between the mode of proving corpus delicti In oases of pois oning and that in other coses. Utils on Evi dence, says: "Incases of poisoning, the moral evidence from Urn conduct of the accused, hi* antipathies and other motives, hie possession or the means of death, bis declarations, his false hoods, subterfuges and evasions to prevenl ex amination of the body, and many other suspic ious circumstances, constitute material parts of th tratfesta and furnish a clue to the explana tion pf facts which would otherwise prove Tnex ; phcable. It la perfectly clear that by the law of 'England, oil such facts'afferd competent and relevant' evidence, from which can be inferred the erimlnal administration of poisen." lu Eon ellah’acase. Justice Abbott said: "If the.opin ions of Jeafnfed poraons,, who have been exam ined on both sides, lead you to doubt whether you should attribute the death to arsenic—then, aAtb fAf* questl6ni as well as to other Questions, . the; condbot of thbprUonerla>most material to * consideration*".

Law against Trout Fishing.— The protection ef our fish, game, aud forest trees, all of which are now, unfortunate ly, fast disappearing from our state, tthouid-haVe our earnest attention and care. In respect to one of these matter the Legislate eof Pennsylvania, ou Iht 21st day of April, 1869, passed a stringent law. It prohibits the fishing for trout ai all seasons of the year, by any othei iue~na or devices except by hook ami line, and forbids the capturing of them . iutbat manner except in the mouths oi April, May, June and July. Persons are positively prohibited from fibbing fur them iu any way, during any other tlmgf of the year. The law imposes a penalty 'of five dollars, for a. violation of Us pro visions aud, also, imposes a penalty of five dollars upon any officer neglect ing Co make report of violations which m*y come under his notice. The officei is liable to be dismissed fiom his office lor thesaiue neglect. This law, we trust., will have the effect of protecting this favorite fish aud makiug them more pleutUulin ouf streams than they have been uflate y ears. ’ V BEyiyAirPßOGEESSiNa.—Tfaereligiouß exeiieuirut iu the Bethel church of this place continues with* unabated fervor. Already eouie sixty or seventy, persons have been convened and will doubtless Connect. tbemseives with the church. These meetings are being held nightly, and many persona are seeking a remia slon of their Bins, the services are very solemn and interesting, and are participa ted iu by members ot other congregations, and we have no doubt all feel a deep in terest iu the meeting. - The services are conducted by the Pastor, .Rev, J. Hunter, .assisted by the Rev. J. A. ilcDonnuld, of JSewburg. It is very giatiiying to know that the y* ung men of our town are get lug deep ly interested in this meeting, and we are pleased to learn that many of them have already forsaken the.palhs of sin and are living a new and a better life. _A <3beat Snow Storm.—Those who have been anticipating an early spring have been sadly disappointed. On last Monday night, about 10 o’clock, an old-, fashioned suo.v storm set In, and the snow continued falling all day Tuesday, covering the ground with a bed of snow to the depth of about 15 inches. This has been undoubtedly the greatest snow storm of the season, and nas given the earth a decidedly w intry appearance. It is no doubt all ior the best, as it will afford ample protection to the growing grain, which was much needed. - Those, however, who were fondly anticipating the advent of spring and the luxury of early violets, will have to “ wait a little longer.’.’ . With this change of weather, the de apondlng heans of our ice merchants have been. made glad, and they now predict a full supply of that necessary article for summer use. . - Death op Con. PaulM a rtin.—We learn, from Shlppensburg that Col. Paul Martin, a well known citizen of this county, died, at his residence, in that borough, after a sbiorl illness, on Friday, the 28tli nit., in the 79th year of his age. Col. Martlp was at one time High She rlffof Cumberland county, and discharg ed the duties of the offloijfiithfully and hi,neatly. He was a man of much ec centricity of character; a fuithfnlYriend, a good neighbor, and an energetic and pnbilc*spirited citizen. .’ ■ -ckb and Wilson Sewing Public B*i.n mi>■ r ■■ . for the \\he.lfcr4'VVllk.'" fflee ft No. Mm'“hTe^Sr^ho^lKn 1 ! ohinet ompuny, opcued an '.marinlt J| r » 1,1 ri**utU Middleton township, on the ; 121MarketBtreet, headquarters for the district composev I aud kitchen i pl * household the twelve surrounding counties. p rlllttlr u. : M r V»-® 1 9‘ .
