SHOCKING EFEEcrs OF RUM. The Nashville
Orlhopoltan Of the 25d ut says that a man
named Thomas went up into the rotunda OF
the Court House in that city, on the previous
evening, for the purpose of repairing the Town
clock, and next morning he was found dead
upon the pavement below. His skull and both
his wrists were broken. As, at the time he
went up, he was somewhat intoxicated, il IS
supposed he fell to sleep and sometime in the
night fell and met his death. We have
seldom seen more frightful object; the rats
had eat his lips leaving the teeth exposed.
