Murder by Poison. A horrible case of poisoning has been in course of investigation before Esquire Kitchen and the Coroner's Jury during this week, and resulted in the commitment of Wm. J. Clark, a puddler, 1 working at the Montour Rolling Mill, and a Mrs. Marv Twiggs. The circumstauces of the case as developed bv the testimony, are simply these : On Tues day. 28th of April last, Mrs. Catharine ANU Clark, wife of the prisoner, returned from a visit to Philadelphia, and became sick a day or two after. She took some magnesia and a neighboring female acquaintance gave her some oil with whiskey. She continued to grow worse, when D. Siraington was sent for, who treated the case as inflamatiou of the stomach and bowels, all the symptoms indicating the disease. On Saturday evening, the 9th of May, she died. During her illness she was principally nursed by her husband and the oth er prisoner, Mrs. Twiggs, who resided in the same house. Some mysterious conduct of these two nurses, their intimacy, &e., together with the unusual violence of Mrs. Clarke's death— her vomiting, nervous twitchings, Ac., aroused a suspicion of foul play among the neighbors, in consequence of which Clark and Mrs. Twiggs were arrested on last Monday, and a Coroner's Jury summoned by \\ illiam Kitchen, E-q., to hold an inquest over the dead body. They caused a post mortem examination to be made by doctors Magill, Strawbridge, and I'rick, who took out the stomach and a por tion of the intestines. The body was much swollen about the face and very much discolor ed, features distorted, with open mouth, filled with a most offensive dark liquiod ; the abdo men was also much swollen aud distended with gas, liver very much enlarged and very dark, Ac. The result of a partial analysation of the contents of the stomach, (which of course, must be somewhat imperfect, for want of pure re-agents and apparatus) the physi cians all agree, justifies a strong suspicion of poisoning by arsenic and Dr. Strawbridge gave it as his opinion, that her death teas caused bv t oi *"'• It was further ascertained, on examination, that Clark had at Chalfant A Hughes' drug store one ounce of arsenic about the end of M arch, one ounce of arsenic about the begin ning of April, one half ounce of arsenic about Thursday of last week, and four grains of strychnine about the Ist of April, and four grains of strychnine about 4 or 5 days after that—all for killing rats, as he alleged. Mrs. Twiggs also bought a quantity of arsenic at the same store from another clerk. An infant child of Mrs Clark, having been mused by her up to within a few days of her death, is not expected to live, aud shows all the symptoms of the same disease of which its mother died. Mr. Twiggs, the husband of Mrs. Twiggs, the supposed paramour of C'lark, died about a month ago, under very suspicious circum stances, conplainiug of a great pain in the stomach and bowels, and nervous twitchings, vomiting, Ac. He lived in the same house with Clark, and his body was disenterred yes terday afternoon by the directions of the Dis trict Attorney, Paul Leidy, Esq., and an in quest held over it by Coroner Elias Haas. The stomach was taken out by I)rs. Sim ington and Schultzler, for the purpose of hav ing its contents analysed. Both Juries of Inquest have been adjourn ed until Thursday, May 28th, when they will meet to hear the result of a more thorough analvzation now in progress by several of onr most eminent physicians. The excitement in town is intense, and the verdicts of the Juries are looked for with the greatest anxiety.— jDanville Democrat. fta?" Extract from a letter by the Rev. Mr. Churchill, of Boston, who is now travelling for his health in the East : " It gives one an ever present idea of the expansive enterprise of his countrymen, to find their commodities of commerce continual ly in his path wherever he goes. I have not visited any considerable city of Turkey, w here I did not find the medicines of my country r-presented by AYFK'S CHERRY PECTORAL. IU Smyrna, Aleppo, Jaffa, Jerusalem and Con stantinople, we see in each, on the door po-t of some bazaar, the peculiarly American look ing Iron card, of Dr. Ayer, saying in a lan guage which not one of the thousand of the j.assers by cau read, "AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL F. R CotT.HS, Courts AST) Co.VSLMITIO.N", Soi.lt Hf. RE." On a shelf behind the cross-legged tuusselman are seen the bottles with their Eng lish, Spanish, French and German faces turn ed towards the crowd, and on enquiring we are to'd that foreigners are not the only purcha sers, hut the true believers themselves waive their trust in fate there is no other cure for them. I was told yesterday that the Cherry Pec toral had been presented to the Sultan, and is now in constant use in his harem, and in the ho.-pitals of the Empire." The Destitution in Michigan. [From the Detroit Tribune, May 15.] A call, signed by some of our most promi nent citizens, appears in this evening's Tribune, lor a meeting to consider the best means of affording relief to the famishing settlers in the northern counties. Our former statements of the destitution and suffering iu that region have been most painfully confirmed. We shall not speak in the language of hyperbole, when we state that the number of families iu Grati ot, and adjoining counties, are perishing for want of even the meanest food. This state ment is made on the authority of the presiding elder of the Methodist Church of that section, in a letter to the Rev. Mr. Mahon, of Lan ding, who related the facts in a public meet ibg held in that place, on the night before iast. One poor woman, who had with a mother's devotedness had given her two little children a ' the food site could procure, died a few CY> MIICC in Gratiot county of absolute star '•••tion, and her children, when found where tuo weak to be revived, and shared a mother's f ft te. Other citizens have painfully struggled (bto Clinton county on foot, begging for food, •-oaie of them had lived for a number of days On leeks alone, and the stench of their bodies almost insufferable. The whole country " the counties is strippled of food, and even in the best circumstances cau procure nothing to eat but boiled pumpkins and mo lasses, while the poorer classes, where actual Ait| 't has overtaken them, eke out a misera -2, - subsistence on roots, leeks and boded oats. - hese statements to us who have enough to a "d drink, and comfortably all around us, •pm incredible ; but it pains us to say that tmtli is beyond doubt. The cattle, un -1 the recent coming of the pasture, have , 'TPM off dnv In div The people of these distressed region have not made known their suffering ; for beside a natural reluctance, they have looked for ward to the Spring to afford them relief : but as yet we have no Spring. They hare now arrived at a condition where their famishing cries for help must be responded to. We feel confident that our citizens will respond liber al iy. IN lien the intelligence of the destitution reached Lansing, a public meeting was called at once. Our worthy Governor presided. The story of suffering was told by Rev. Mr. Mahon, who spoke both from reliable informa tion he had received and from actual observa tion in the Southern part of Gratiot county. Those present subscribed promptly $297, and resolved further to purchase fifty barrels of flour for the relief of the sufferers. The sub scription was placed in the hands of Walter Chester Esq., of this city, for disbursal, and he has already purchased" and send forward supplies of beans, meal, &c. This purchase the Detroit andj.Milwaukee Railroad has trans ported free of charge to St. John's, where a committee from Lansing have agreed to be with teams, and convey the supplies into the dis tressed districts, aud distribute them. i MAPLE SUGAR—PRODUCT OK ONE TREE—THE GREATEST YIELD OX RECORD. —JoeI Wood bury, under date of Springfield, Mass., May 15, gives us the following statement, which he says may be relied on : Mr. Olnev Bates, of that town, has a single sugar-maple tree, standing about a hundred rods from the bank of the Connecticut River, from which he has this year SEVENTY-FIVE pounds of sugar. This tree is fourteen feet in circumfcrance six feet from the ground. It was tapped with twelve spiles, leading the sap into six buckets. One day the yield of the sap was ten pails full. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT Sr. Louis.—Robert M. Webb, of Lewistown, Pa., and Dr. Henry R. Eaton, of Hollidaysbtirg, left the steamer Rocket at St. Louis, oa Friday night, to tran sact some business in the city, when they were knocked down and stabbed by ruffians, and thrown into a stone quarry some twenty feet deep. Webb was instantly killed, and Eaton is not expected to live. MCKIM SENTENCED. —Gov. Pollock has isu ed the death warrant of David Stringer Mc- Kim, recently convicted of the murder of Samuel T. Norcross, near Altoona, on the 1 Gth January last. He will be hanged at Hollidaysburg, Pa. on Friday, August 21st, 1857. Thus ends one of the most cruel and cold blooded murders ever -committed in a civilized country. Xciu OVbocrtiscnKTits. TEN ACRES OF UP TOWN LOTS FOR SALE!

MTNTOSH, DENTIST, JpgySyVvin be at TOWANDA on the FIRST OF I ~i I-Tjp- y£ n< .xt. Williauisport, April 9.1857. CATHARTIC PILLS VNEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure of all Billious diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism. Fevers "Gout. Humors, Nervousness. Irritability. Irtntions, Headache, Pains in tiie firv.ist, side. Back,and I.imbs, Female Complaints, Ac., &c. Indeed very few are the diseases iu which a Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judi cious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Billious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for midable distempers which load the hearses all o.er the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im portance to the public health, and this Pill has been per fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. Au extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians. Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything hrtherto kuown of auy medicine. Cures have been ef fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated by per sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Poet. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes sional character is endorsed by the— Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States. ROBERT C. WINTIIROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plen. to England. tJOHN 11. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston; also Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York City, endorsed by lion. W. 1,. M ARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B. ASTOR. the richest man in America. S. EELAND& Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even ni >re convincing than the experience of eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best and most complete which tire present -tab- of medical science can afford They ar<- compounded not of the drugs themselves, hut of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and combin ed together in such a manner as to in-nirc tiie best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with mote or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu rative eflci t is pre-ent. All the inert ami obnoxious qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evident the effect- should prove as they have proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the world. As it is frequently expedient that many medicines should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have suppled the ac curate Formuhc iiy which both ray Pectoral and Pills are made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United States anu British American Provinces. If however there should he any one who has not received them, they will be forwarded by mail to his request. Of all the Patent Medicines t hat are offered, how fen would he taken it their composition was known ! Their life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. The composition of my preparations is laid open to all men, aud all who are competent to judge on the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic men to be a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many emineut Physicians have declared the same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and are willing to certify that their anticipations were more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the inter nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exi.-t, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.
