Tub Death of Dit; J. Buimon
.iiiTii. A general glooi-a .pe vad-rn the
city yesterday morning upon the an
nouncement of the sudden death of the
Rev. Dr. J. Brinton Smith, President of
St. Augustine College of thi-a oily.
Dr. Smith arose at his usual hour,
about" oj- o'clock yesterday morning,
and after performing h's usual duties
about the house and yard, walked out
to his1 farm, but a short distance from
his residence. Meeting his overseer, he
gave him some special instructions in
regard to the day's work, and returned
to his residence for breakfast. -Before
going to the table, he remarked t hat he
was' a little unwell and thought a
seidlctz powder would help him. His
daughter at once prepared the powder.:
He drank it, and went in to breakfast.
After eafing his breakfast, he returned
to the farmland while conversing with
Mr. Seweil, the overseer, he .experienced
(a3 he expressed it) a peculiar sensation,
and at once returned to the house. Ar
riving at the house, he said to his Tandy,
"I am dying and feel that I am pois
oned;" five minutes afterwards and he
.was a corpse. Dr. E. Burke Haywood
was immediately sent for, but of -course
too late to be of anyserviee.
Owing to the suddenness of the death
of Dr. Smith,' a jury was summoned by
the Coroner, and an inquest was held
over the body. Alter an investigation
of several hours, in which "the retrains
of the seidletz powders in the glass were
examined, &c, the jury, adjourned till
this morning at 10 o'clock, when a post
r.iortt'iii examination will be made.
In the death of. Dr. Smith, Ilab iuh

inst. The excellent taste displayed by
these ladies in -their former selections is
well known to every lady of Raleigh,
but this season they have eclipsed all
former' pure-bases. They have purchased
a much larger stock this fall than usual
and spent much time at the beadquar
te'rs of fashion in New York city. We
tell the ladies that if they don't want to
he behind in "the world of fashion to
wait for the opening of Mrs. Andrews
Amis. Country mot chants and mil

commmt or praise'. from us. What An-,
drews' says may be sworn to. His stock
is unusually large and attractive, and
all he asks is trial. j
E?py.ial attention is called to the
advertisement of De Bret's great exhi
bition of Magic and his ' Cabinet of
Wonders." The press of the various
cities 'through which he has passed,
speaks of his performances as truly won
derful, and lead, us to believe that in
magic he is equal to Signor Blitz or
Wyman. His first exhibition will take
place this evening at .Tucker Hall. Go
