from the love OF the liquor or from previous lntoxl-
cation, undertook to drink quart of hskey, which
some unthnking persons had agreed to besow on
.hlm for the purpose and, alter huzzang for JACK
;soN, actually contryed to swallow about three half
pints in the course of few minutes As might nat
urally be expected; the wretched man, who
had come to this place for the purpose, as we un-
.derstand, of teaching school, breahed his last
.;bout dusk the same evening, III spite OF every ex
ertion which was made for his recovery. Three
or four individuals were taken up the next mornns
on suspicion Of having, by the dnt OF threats, Undue
ed him to swallow the poisonous liquid; but aite
having undergone an examination before the Mayor
they were all discharged with the exception Of one
who has been recognized to appear at the next tern
