April 11 - George CROWE, Glassville (Carleton Co.) died at an early hour this morn. The suddeness of his death led to the sending for coroner Port. The coroner took charge and assisted by Dr. Atkinson questioned the person who was present when Crowe died. It appears that Crowe went to Dr. WELSH and had a powder prepared for him. This he laid on the counter of the drug shop, with a bottle of medicines, while he got the change from his pocket. When he got ready to go, instead of the powder prepared for him, he took away a small packet of arsenic also on the counter. As Mr. Crowe was 45 years of age his making such a terrible mistake could hardly have been looked for and guarded against.
