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.—

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.

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.
