The following olllcitil tatter concern
inj tbo death of Edgar Allun Poo from
hiit attentling )hyfiieiuii in ptiblitthod for
tho fltut timo in the Now York Herald.
It will I e read Willi thrilling interest:
OFFICIAL MEMORANDA Or E1K1AR A. POE.
BY i. 1. Molt A N, M. tl.
Etlgtir A. Poo was brought in u hack
tothe Wiishington I'nivemity Iloniiital,
nituated on llroadway, north of JitiUi
moin street, Italtimoro City, on tho 7th
of Oetober, 1849. Ilo had been found
lying upon n beneh in front of a large
niereiintile hoimoon Light street wharf.
Ilo wan in n Kttijmr, whether from
liquor or iiiitnn was not at tirxt known.
A gentleman passing along tho pave
ment nolieod several pernonM eollwleil
ubout the spot, and looking in through
the crowd was tiiililenly impressed
with the fato, and on i Ioko inspection
reeognir.ed tbo oel. Ilo had been
there since early dawn.
A polieemun sent lor a hack and ill-
reeled tho hnckmnn to convey him to
the above named hospt'ul, which was
in mv charge, being the resident physi
cian and living in the dwelling attached
thereto. It was about 10 o clock in
tho forenoon when ho entered tbe
house. Ilo was immediately placed
in a private room, carefully undressed
mid critically examined. 1 had not
then any knowledgo ol Ins previous
condition or what were his habits.
There was no smell ol liquor upon his
person or brealh. There wut no ilo
iiriumor tremor. His skin was pallid,
with slight nuiisea at tho stomach and
a strong disposition to sleep. II is con
dition was more of it stupor. Ilo was
sponged with lukewarm water, sinon-
isms apiuicfl to tho n et, thighs and ah-
domen, and cold applied to the head.
I had the room durkenca and he was
otherwise mudu as romlbiiiiblo as ho
could hnro been in his own room at
home. I placed an experienced nurse
nt tho threshold of his room door, with
orders to watch him closely and pro-
vent the tliuhtcst notso Irom without,
and givo notice of any sign of wakeful
ness or consciousness.
In half an hour alter I left hint he
threw the cover from his breast, opened
his eyes and said :
"V here unit
The mirso guvo me the' signal, and
I w as immediately at his side. I drew
a chair clove to tho hod, took bis hand
in myown, and with thcothcrsinoothcd
his Ibrehood, pushing buck tho dark,
raven curls that covered il, anil asked
him how ho felt.
Ho said, "miserable."
"Do you suffer any pain ?"
'No'
"Do you feel sick at the stomach?"
"Yes."
"Are von thirsty ?"
"No.""
"Docs your head fuitfer have you
pain there?" putting my hand on his
Lead.
"Yes."
"Does it feel heavy or dull ?"
"Heavy ; mind cloudy," ho sniil.
"How long have you been sick?"
"Cunt say."
"Where have you boon stopping?"
"In a hotel on Pratt street, opposite
tho depot."
"Havo yoyrt trunk or a valise, or
anything tlifio tbat yon wonld like to
havo with you ?"
"Yes, a trunk with my papers and
manuscripts."
"If you order it I will sond for it."
He thanked mo and said, "Do so at
once ;" remarking, "You are very kind
Where am I, doctor?"
"You are in the careof your friends."
To which he replied :
"My best friend would be the man
who would blow my brains out with a
pistol."
"Try and be quiet, Mr. Poe ; we will
tlo all wo can to make you comforta
ble ami relievo your distress.
"Oh, wretch that I ami Sir, when
I behold nivdeirreilation and ruin, what
I have ull'ered and lost, and the sor
rnw and misery 1 have brouirht anon
others, I feel that I could sink through
this bed into the lowermost abys lie-
low, forsaken by Uod and man, an out
cast Irom society. in, uou I me mm
hie strait lam in I is there no ransom
lor the deathless spirit?"
Mr. Too. do try ana compose your
self, and titko thit drnuifht; it will
nnthA and revive von.
He reached out bit hand to tako the
lass, the nurse raising bis head while
administered tho cordial. lie drank
it and was laid down, closing his eyes
as thoiiL'li irolug to sleep.
I remained by Ins side, watching
closely every breath, manner of breath
ing, ami trying to lllltKU uhi iiiv urn
nosis. 1 had been impressed thnt lie
was suffering from tho too tree use of
alcohsjlio drink, only trom wnati couiu
gather from thoso who saw hi in on the
whan, and did not Know now long no
had been in this state, but ho did not
manifest symptoms to justify their
suspicions, tie n au no tremor, was
not fidgety with his nanus, or impatient,
but answered all my questions calmly
and rationally. There was great pal-
lor of face, no Injection of tho coata of
the eves, and pulse sharp and quick.
I noticed some twitching of tho eyelids
while closed ; also of the muscles of the
(ace. and she-lit jerking of tho limbs.
Ho remained in this stale about ono
hour, when ho again waked up, slid-
rlmtlir nnnnincf his eves.
I suld to bim, both to be of service
and to ascertain whether ho would b
inclined to take liquor, for with intern,
perato tubjecls who havo delirium tre
mens, a little of tha hair of the dog
that bites Ihcoi often produces a cure :
"Will vou take a little toddy f
He opened wido hit largo eyes and
fixed them eo steadily npon mo and
with such anguish in them that I
looked from him to the wall beyond
the bed. IWtaid:
"Sir, If Ita potency would transport
tri to thj Elytian bower of tit utv
CLEARFIELD, PA.,
discovered spirit world, I would not
taste it I would not taste It. Of its
horrors, who can toll f"
"I roust administer an opiate to give
you sleep and rest."
Then bo rejoined: "Twin devil and
spectre of ciniod and doomed mortals
mortals of earth and perdition !"
"Mr. l'oe, it is very necessary thut
you should be quiet and free irom ex
citement. You are in a critical condi
tion, and excitement will hasten your
death."
"Doctor, I am ill. Is there no hope ?"
"The chances are against you."
"How long, oh, how long, beforo 1
soe my dear Virginia? ily dear
Lonorol 1 would like to seo my love,
my dear lovol"
"1 will send for any ono you wish
to seo."
I knew nothing of his family, and
asked, "Have you a family ?"
'No, my wife is dead my dear Vir
ginia; my mother-in-law lives. Oh,
how my Heart, blrvda for ner ! Peaiun
dark angel has dono this work. I am
rudely dashed npon tho storm without
compass or holm. Language cannot
tell tho gushing wave that swells,
sways and sweeps, tempest-like, over
nio, signaling tho 'larnin of death. Doc
tor, writo to my mother, Maria Clcmm.
Tell her, her Eddie is here. No, too
lato I too late t 1 must lilt the pall
and opon to you the secret that sears
the heart, and, daggor-liko, pierces tho
nou 1. 1 was to havo been married in
ten days." Uoro ho stopnod to weep.
"Shall 1 sond for the lady T" 1 asked,
supposing she lived in the city.
"Too lato I too late !"
1 said, "Oh, no; 1 will send my car
riage immediately."
"No, writo writo to both. Inform
them of my illness and death both at
tbe same time."
"(iivo mo their address."
"Mrs. Sheltnn,Norlblk, Virginia, anil
Maria Clemm, Lowell, Massachusetts."
Noticing tho color rising to his face
mill the blood-vessels filling uxn his
temples, and the eyes becoming con
gestive and inclining npwurd, I asked
no more questions, but ordered ice to
his head and boat to his extremities,
repeating tho cordial with an anodyne,
mid waited with tho nurse outside tho
door for fifteen minutes. No further
chango except that his pulse had in
creased in frequency and was leeblo
and flying. 1 kept a nurse in his room,
mid told her outside to prevent his be
ing disturbed, and to notify me of any
chango that might take place.
1 hud sent lor his cousin, Nelson Poo,
having learned ho was his relative, and
a family named Reynolds, who lived
in tho neighborhood of the hospital.
These were the only persons whoso
names I heunl him mention living in
the lit)-. Mr. W. N. Poo camo, and
the female members of Mm. Reynolds'
family. Ho continued in an uncon
scious slate lor more than an hour.
On attain examining his pulse I found it
very feeble, sharp and irregular ono
hundred and twenty to the minute. I
proceeded to give him a fehnfugo mix
ture and a stimulant. Ho partially
aroused while getting tho draught, and
seemed to stare, the pupils of his eyes
dilating and contracting alternately.
I sat down by his bedsido, look his
hand, placod my fingers upon his wrist,
and felt assured from all the symptoms
that nature was yielding. 1 had beef
tea administered with ammonia. My
particular friend, Professor John C. tj.
Monkur who gavo much of his time
to the inmates of the hospital, and par
ticularly, when spocially called npon,
was always ready, and carefully at
tended the summons night or day
when within reach had been sent for
tern or three times previously ; but be-
ing out attonding to his general pa
IticntH, had just rotnred, and came in
at tbe moment. As soon as he fixed
his eye upon him ho said :
i.l.A.i.v Ito'a rlt'illrr f
I rcpliofi, "Yes, 1 liar it is all over."
He carefully examined his case, and,
being in possession of all the facts in
regard to tho agonts employed and
sv in moms nrescnieu which eiiroiaro-
y 1 I j I- .. i i.i, r
llllly nOlOU Ulmll III tt luviiiu-iiw. v.
the nosnimi no gve it no in. mi..,
which 1 was fully prepared to corrob
orate, that Poo's death was caused by
eeossivo nervous excitement from ex
posure, followed by loss of nervous
power. Tho 'most appropriate name
tlir bis diseaso is oiicophalitis,
Tho doctor advised tree use oi wine,
beef-tea, and gentle cordials, while
using ieo to tbe head. Tho patient
raised his hand to his mouth, as though
he wanted drink. A small lump ol ice
was nlaccd upon bis tonguo. I then
gave him a mouthful of water to see
whether ho could sallow lreely. He
took It, swallowed with somodilllculty;
but be drank a wine-glass of beefteu.
Ho seemed to revive, and opened his
eyes, fixing his gano upon tho transom
ovor tho door, each room having tran
soms over the door for ventilation and
air. Ho kept them unmoved for more
than a minuto. Ilo wits lying directly
onnosite this transom. Ho seemed try-
ing to articulato, but was inaudible.
At last ho spoke feebly : "Doctor, it's
all over. Writo 'Eddie is no more.' "
"Eddie" was term used by Mrs.
Clemm, his molhcr in-law.
"Mr. Poo, permit mo tosny that you
aro near your end. Have yon tiny
wish or word for frionds?"
Ho said, "Evermore t"
1 continued : "Look to your Savior.
There is morcy for you and for nil
mankind. 'God l love.'"
"Tho arehod heavent," he reiolned,

On Sunday, October Stl, 187!i, Po-
hiek church was consecrated by llishop
Johns. This cdiflco is about twelve
miles from Alexandria, and six miles
from Mount Vernon. It was the church
which Washington regularly attended,
never permitting any company to do
'.ain him. He wus one of the vestry,
and when there was much disputing
as to tho localities of the church, ho
drew an necurato map of tbo parish
Willi Ins own hand, ami proved to tne
vestry thnt the present Bito was tbo
best ono. I he church was built in
1774, as tbo tittle upon upon it still
shows. In 1838 it bad fallen into
decay. "Tho witlo open doors," as
llmliop Meade says, "invited not only
tho passing traveller, but every beast
ol'the field, and fowl of the air. The
interior is still good. The roof only is
diw.nyintr uod tlie rain was dripping
thTongtt.- 4ri the doors of the pews
aro slill to be seen Iho names of Waxh
ingtons, Masons, and Fairfaxes, in gilt
letters." The Bishop then went on to
make a strong appeal for its restora
tion on the ground of patriotism nnd
religion, noon alter, Iho Jiev. -Mr.
Johnson, w ho ofllciuted in tho parish,
collected about eight hundred dollars,
hielly from members ol Congress, tor

services occasionally till tho war. 1 ho
Kev. ( harles Howard, ot Utiltimoro,
then a student of the Seminary, offi
ciated with great aval and success as a
lay reader. During the war it was
desecrated by tho soldiers ; fires were
kindled in it fur cooking their provis
ions ; tho flooring of stono was carried
off fbr fire-places ; the roof was riddled
by muskul-ballH ; an attempt was maiio
to blow up ono of tho corners in order
to obtain tho coins supioscd to ho de
posited there, which was iin.uicccssfiil
from tho thickness of tho walls. It
continued in this slate till Theodore
Wet moro. Esq., of Dutchess county,
New York, by his own munificent con-
tributions, und, aided by friends, has
thoroughly repaired it. Ilo has shown
extraordinary r.eal in this good work,
and has made frequent visiu to super
intend, in person, its repairs ; on ono
occasion walking twelve miles from
Alexandria; nnd he must have been
rich rewarded in his own heart, when,
al tho rc-opcnin;;, lie was permitteii in
person to see his untiring efforts in its
behalf crowned with success. Tho day
of consecration was one of the most
beutitifiilot early autumn, and tho sun
shone brightly into the windows of tho
old chnreh upon a congregation which
filled it. The morning scrvico was
conducted by tho Itov. lrs. McElhin
ney und Packard, followed by an ad
dress by llishop Johns. An organ,
recently obtained by Mr. Wotmoro,
"swelled the notes of praise" to Al
mighty (iod. Pohiek church should
be ono of tho places of pilgrimage for
tho admirers of Washington. In tho
recent centennial commemorations no
ono has been more interesting than
the consecration of Washington's old
church. iSeufiTM Churchmin
good joko is told of a wealthy Now
1 orker, with an eye Mr a gooa norso,
who, shortly alter betaking himself to
his summer residence on Long Island,
in April last, was sitting on his piazza
ono tine morning, nnd noticing a pair
of fine steppers that were being driven
on tho road in front of his house. The
toam consisted of a bay nnd a gray
mare, and tbe driver was an unassum
ing, quiet, well-behaved young man.
Tho Now Yorker noticed them agaiR
on tbo following day, and wns more
than ever impressed with their fine
stylo and graceful step, and he decided
al once to buy them. Accordingly on
the next day ho stationed himself at
his gate, and when the team came
jogging by ho signaled the driver lo
stop.
"That's a pretty fair team yon drive,"
says he.
"Yes, they aro moderately good step
pers," was the response.
"Are they for sale?" usked the New
Yorker.
"Well, yes, 1 would sell them," was
the rather hesitating reply.
"Send them along down the rood and
back, so that I can sec how they move,"
savs tho New Yorker.
Vp and down they were seiit a tVw
times, and at length the gentleman
was satisfied, and signaled tbo driver
to pull up.
"1 lilio them pretty woll," said he,
"and will buy them if tbo price is not
too high. What doyoii ask fbr them ?"
"Sixlv-flve thousand dollars," was
the reply, very cooly given.
The gentleman opened hin eyes and
month in astonishment, and Churloy
(Jroen drove off with Lulu anil Fleoty
Oold-dnsi at a 2.25 gait, leaving tho
old gcntloman to wonder al the high
prices of good, fair roadsters.

much. It is not every one thut
can afford to buy the trade fertilizers,
and these aro too often without morit.
Tboy are to be purchased with caution
and judgment. In the matter of ma
nure we believe almost wholly in home
manufacture, and are persuaded there
is no branch of farming entitled to
moro attention than this. Wo can
hardly name a substance out of which
the earth with its aecrct chemistry
cannot extract strength and nourish
ment Tho earth needs food as much
as tbe ox. Rich fields are well fed.
The virgin earth manured by the de
caying vegctfction of ages yields fifty
bushels of wheat to tho acre, hut man
soon exhausts it. We take from tbo
hand of tiod and lb. bcomm of tl.

The material for making manure is

fetl animal is worth twice as much as j
thnt of one poorly fed, whoso owner,
perhaps, lays out in whisky what he
should lav out in fodder. Every form

upon the following expedient to set the

of an hour ho would return, and cart
with him some of his instruments
thinking if he could impress his neigh

A wag, wbo moro than suspocted tho
deceit which he wa practising, deter
mined to know the truth. He accord
ingly kept his horse in readiness, and
tbe next timo tho doctor gnlloppcd
past hi door, sprang on his steed and
placed himself on the young gentle
man trail.
The doctor saw tha man following
at hi heels, but did not, at first, evince
any uneasiness. At length, however,
be thought it advisablo to turn down
a narrow lano. Tbo pursuer followed
m liko an evil genius: but tho doctor
was not discouraged, as another road
lay a short distance ahead of him. and
down which he turned. Tho other
kept close at his heels, and tbe doctor
grew impatient to return home. Thcro
was no Ihiiiso by the way at which be
could oner any pretext lor stopping,
In tho meantime his saildlo bags were
with bun, and bo was otherwise pre
pared for business, so that ho could
not return, in tho face of his neighbor,
without exposing tbe secrets of Iho
trade in the most palpatio manner.
Every bound of his steed carried bim
further from his homo, nnd the similes
of night began to fall on hill and ditto.
Still tho Round of horse' hoofs were
thunderinir in bis ears, and ho uss
driven to bis wit's end ; but jast as he i
turned tbo angle ol a wood, ho heard :
a low moan. A mail lay proetmto
near tho fence of a meadow, and blood
gushed from a fearf ul wound in his
arm. Ho had cut an artery with bis
scythe, and was in danger of immcdi-
ate dissolution. j.uo young doctor
sprang from his horse nnd staunched
tito wound. Bandages wero applied
and his life was saved. The pursuer
had also, thrown himself from his horse,
and as tho surgeon tied up the last
bandage, ho looked up in his litce and
said :
"How lucky, neighbor, that I was'"'
