" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which Commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrhcea, Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid of medicine. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Aiedical Society, &C. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confide nce , an d s kill a re equally requisite. In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. Indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The following confession has been made by Pickett, one of the men charged with the murder of William Stevenson :-- " Myself and Carey left the public-house on the evening in question, between ten and eleven o'clock, and went towards the house of my father, who had gone to bed. We then crossed the drain in a boat of my father's, at the request of Carey, to go to Santh's for two rabbits he had shot. As we went Carey drew a large stae up, and told me to do the same, as he said we might be attacked by dogs, but I would not. When we had got a little distance, we overtook Mr. Stevenson. Carey said ' Let's kill the old b-; I think he's got some money.' I advised hi m no t, b u t he went up to him and hit him on the right side of the head, and knocked him down, and sat on his head, and put his hands in his pocket and took the money out, and then got up and hit him three or four times with the stick. He then said Take hold of his head,' but I would not, and he said, If you don't I'll serve you the same.' I then helped him to throw the deceased into the sewer ; he picked up his stick ; the old man stood up in the dyke, and he went and struck him two or three times more ; the old man climbed up the bank on the other side, and I went round to help him up ; but Carey came round the other way, and with a stick knocked him down again, and struck him seven or eight times, breaking the stiok which he used to atoms. The old man tried to get up, but Carey struck him with a hedge-stake until he was dead, and then trailed him to the hedge next th e sewer dyke, and said to me take hold of his legs and we'll throw him into the sewer.' I said what for, let him be' He then reared him up on his head on the hedge layers and tumbled him into the sewer; he went on towards Mr. Stevenson' shouse, and I went to Joseph Coates' house when I got on the bank Carey overtook me, and said the old man is dead, he does not stir in the water at all.' I've got £1 2s. 6d., and a handful of papers and two bags. We went to my father's seven-acre gate, and he hid them there under some grass, on the bank side against the tunnel. We then went on to my father's boat, and crossed the river in it. I said I would go home, and as Carey waited to go with me, I wouldn't take him, and so we went to Sands's house across the fields, as he was afraid the policeman would see us if we went round by the road. I slept in Sands's outhouse, and Carey in the beast-hovel. I awoke early in the morning, and went to him about half past five. Mr. Sands came into the hovel and tumbled over my foot. We then went to Richardson's (the Ship public house), and there Carey pulled out two bags he had taken from Stevenson, and the stolen money, and put it in the bags, and also a stone, and threw them all into Richard son's pit. I afterwards left him and went home." THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise, during the present week, a fair average sup ply of English wheat-3,470 quarters—has been reported. Fresh-up, to .day, by land-carriage the receipts were small, and the show of samples was rather limited. Good and fine qualities were in fair request at Monday's currency; but other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably large. All descriptions were rather inactive, but no change took place in value. Fine barley realised very full prices, but grinding and dis tilling sorts were heavy, and the turn cheaper. There wax a slow sale for malt at barely late rates. Oats sold on former terms. Both beans and peas com manded extreme rates, but the transactions in flour were very moderate. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

We regret to announce the death of Mr. William Alers Hankey, the banker, The deceased was in his 88th year.—pagy Aiwa. Mr. Palmer contended that the vendor had only been about 20 years in possession, having a beneficial interest without a legal title. Mr. Speed followed on the same side. Ho asked for a title of 30 years' possession to bar disabilities, 40 years to bar objections, and 50 years' possession to give a good title (Douglas v. the Northern Railway Company, 1; Keay v. Johnstone, page 153 ; and 108th section of the Railway Act) ; and therefore that the Court could not decree specific performance of the contract of sale. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel his Honour delivered judgment. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, considered that as it appeared from the evidence of an old man named Tomlinson, that in 1813 Thomas Pearson the elder pur chased the property in question—Pentrich Mains—and let ,itto a person of the name of Taylor. Thomas Pearson the elder, by a general devi se , d ev i se d all his lands to his son, John Pearson, so that he has had possession of the land from 1813 down to the date of the purchase by the com pany. His Honour thought that forty-six years' undis turbed possession of the lands by the vendor was sufficient to enable him to give a good conveyance to the company. His Honour made a declaration to the effect that the title given to the company was a good title to the lands, and directed Mr. Pearson's sister, the co-heiress, to concur in the conveyance, and in the event of her refusal to appoint a person to concur for her in terms of the Act r and order the dividends and purchase money to be paid over, on completing the title, to Mr. Pearson. Mr. Emslie, Q.C., for Mr. Pearson, asked costs underthe 6 50th, and 215th sections of the Act. His Honour had difficulty in giving costs in rectifying a title which appeared to be bad. He knew that in some of the superior courts law costs were given in an unsuccess ful defence, but he could not give full costs in this case. Mr. Elmslie—With respect to Storey Pore the opinion of the counsel of the company was obtained in 1837, and it appeared that only two-thirds of that property was con veyed to John Pearson. His Honour remitted the bill of costs to the taxing master to consider what was necessary and proper to be allowed as costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IMPORTANT APPLICATION.-PROTECTION AFTER REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE.-IN RE JAMES FOLDEN. Mr. Bagley applied on behalf of this bankrupt, under the following circumstances :—The bankrupt had carried on business with his son, as fishing-tackle makers, but the transactions became irregular, and bankruptcy was the result. Upon the application for certificate, his Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class to the son, but wholly refused that of the ap plicant on the ground that he had given a bond on behalf of a friend to Hanaway's Charity, by which the Charity were considerable losers. The bankrupt had the usual protection to give him an opportunity of appeal ing against his Honour's decision, but had endeavoured to effect an arrangement with the trustees and the other cre ditors, and on affidavits his Honour granted protection for one month, Mr. Warrand, the solicitor for the assignees not objecting. 5 00 1 00 1 00 2 00 5 00 50 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 2 20 10 10 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 1 0 0 5 00 10 10 0 5 50 5 00 1 10 2 10 0 5 00 2 20 20 0 0 5 00 2 00 10 0 0 2 00 3 30 2 00 2 00 1 00 2 00 2 00 1 00 2 20 2 00 1 00 1 00 1 0 0 1 00 2 00 2 00 1 00 1 00 1 00 1 10 1 00 1 0 0 2 00 1 0 0 2 00 1 0 0 2 00 1 00 ft 00 1 00 2 00 1 0 0 2 00 5 00 1 0 0 1 0 0 2 00 2 00 5 00 5 50 10 10 0 1 1 0 1 10 10 0 0 1 1 0 10 0 0 1 10 1 1 0 5 50 5 5 0 5 00 2 20 1 00 0 10 0 5 00 5 50 10 10 0 20 0 0 / 0 0 2 00 50 0 0 1 0 0 5 50 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 5 00 2 00 5 00 2 20 2 2 0 5 00 5 50 0 10 0 50 0 0 5 00 IN RE WHEELER.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A " GENTLEMAN" AT THE PRIVESS'S THEATRE.—AIfred Wiggins, described on the eharge-sheet as a " gentloman," of 21, Walcot-square, Kennington, and who was attired in a fashionable cloak or coat, was charged with stealing from the person of Mr. James Marks, of 5, Edward-terrace, Caledonian-road, cheesemonger, at the hall of the Princess's Theatre, a silver watch, of the value of £5. The prosecutor said that on the previous night about twelve he was in the hall of the Princess's Theatre, Oxford street, about leaving, when his attention was attracted to the prisoner, by noticing him eyeing his gold Albert chain in a very peculiar manner. The prisoner then walked up to him, looked him hard in the face, then thrust his fingers into his waistcoat pocket, and took his watch off at the swivel, leaving the guard hanging down his waistcoat; but the whole transaction was done with such rapidity that he was unable to prevent him carrying out his object. As soon as he had got his watch his hand went under his cloak, and he then charged him with stealing his watch; a little altercation took place, and he heard the watch fall, and his (witness's) brother picked it up. In answer to the magistrate (Mr. Bingham), the prose secutor said that he had not the slightest doubt about it, and that on his taxing him with the robbery he cluttered some thing which he could not understand, and then offered him his " card." The prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, said he would rather have it settled at once, and would plead guilty. A constable having stated that he had been seen about the theatre before, he was committed for six months with hard labour. MEMOIR OF DR. MUSP.RATT. The following . sketch of the distinguished Liverpool chemist appears in the new edition of Men of the Time' : " Muspratt, James Sheridan, Professor of Chemistry, was born in Dublin, March Bth, 1821. His father's subsequent removal to Liverpool, where he surprised the busy inhabi tants by the magnitude of his chemical works, placed the early education of Sheridan Muspratt in the hands first of the Rev. Mr. Hind of Winwick, Lancashire, and afterwards of Dr. Cowan. At this early period he evinced a taste for chemistry; and having at thirteen travelled through France and part of Germany, he on returning took the first step to wards future achievements by repairing to the Andersonian University of Glasgow, where for nine months ho studied in the laboratory of Professor Graham, whom he afterwards followed to London, when that gentleman took the chair of the late Dr. Turner in the University College, in Gower street. About this period, and before the age of 17, Sheri dan Muspratt had made sufficient progress to be entrusted with the chemical department at the works of Peel Thomp son, in Manchester, and also published a paper upon chlo ride of lime, which attracted considerable attention. Proceeding to America, he there entered into a trading partnership, but soon discovered, by the loss of some thousands, that he was better fitted for the laboratory than the Exchange. The result was that he retired from a field for which nature had evidently not intended him ; and having terminated his American experience by visiting the various States, he in the year 1843 repaired to Giessen, and placed himself under the great Liebig, who speedily recognised in his new pupil that love for chemistry which afterwards created betwixt them a close friendship. By his industry and talent the young student soon gained the admiration of all his fellow-pupils, for whose emulation he supplied an example of indefatigable application. Having remained two years in Giessen, gam ing golden opinions, Sheridan Muspratt resolved to test his strength, and soon published a paper upon the sulphites. This appeared in Liebig and Wohler's Annalen, was copied into all the scientific annals, and won him his debree of Doctor of Philosophy, a title never before granted to a man so young. Until the appearance of this treatise little had been known about its subject, though it had been discussed by many chemists of eminence. After this followed a paper on the ' Pretended Formation of Valerianic Acid from Indigo,' which was read before the British Association at York. At this period he, in conjuction with Professor Hofmann, discovered toluidine and nitraniline, two organic bases of the utmost importance. In 1854 Dr. Muspratt left Giessen, having while there edited Plattner's Treatise on the Blowpipe ; and in the two years following visited various parts of Germany, in order to become personally acquainted with her distinguished men. In 1847 he again visited Giessen, and spent four months in its laboratory, discovering several remarkable bodies produced from the sulphocyanide of ethyle and methyle. A paper on this subject was printed in Liebig's Annalen, as well as in the Chemical Society's Transactions. In 1848 he gave a paper on the selenites. In 1849 he proved the existence of car bonate of alumina; and also published some very inte resting remarks in Liebig's Annalen on the blowpipe, re actions of strontia and baryta. In 1851 one of his greatest efforts appeared—his paper on carmufellic acid, a new acid from cloves. This treatise has been published in the new Proceedings of the Royal Society, and in the Philosophical Magazine. But the most important act hitherto in his life has been the foundation of a College of Chemistry in Liver pool. In 1854, a Glasgow publisher engaged Dr. Muspratt to write a Dictionary of Chemistry, which is now publish ing ; the sale of it in England and America exceeds 60,000 copies monthly, and in Germany and France it has met with a like success. . . . On his return from Giessen, in 1848, Dr. Muspratt married Miss Susan Cushman, who is also well known to fame by her admirable delineation of " Juliet." Since the above appeared more honours have been awarded to him ; the oldest university in America con- ferring on him the title of Docter in Medicine, in proof of their admiration of his high professional attainments.— Mining Journal. The case of this officer, who behaved so as greatly to distinguish himself as a midshipman during the Russian war, and who, having transferred his services from the naval to the military profession, has acquitted himself with equal honour in the suppression of the Indian mutinies, has been brought under our notice. In General Michel's despatch from Allahabad, dated Oct. 22, 1858, we find specially mentioned " the gallantry of Lieut. Wood, of the 17th Lancers, who (having from paucity of officers in the 3d Cavalry, volunteered during the campaign to command a troop of the 3d Light Cavalry) on this occasion (a severe engage ment with a large force of mutineers) almost single handed came up to and attacked a body of the enemy." Going back to the eventful days of the Crimean campaign, we read, in the annals of the heroic Naval Brigade more than one tale of bravery in which this young officer's name is conspicuous. On the 17th of Oct., 1854—just four years previous to his display of valour in India—he volunteered with Mr. Daniels to bring powder from the rear, under heavy fire. On the 18th, a shell having burst in the covering of a parapet magazine, he in stantly jumped upon it, and alone busied himself in clearing and repairing it under a heavy fire, till joined by Captain Peel, for which he received the thanks of that officer. On the 19th of April, in the following year, he was noticed by Admiral Lushington, standing on a parap e t, repairing a Again, fir the .18th Sappers whose pro persdoee p hwe oa g iv. akyp thatt m s h a d o u e i tl db daunted have e e e been.n theem y , As a fi r which was of June, rising from a sick bed, he volunteered to join the ladder party ; and, though wounded i n th e hand, he assisted to carry the ladders up to the Redan, and was the only naval officer who -advanced as far as the abattis. These noble acts are well cer tified in letters from Lord Raglan, Sir Stephen Lushington, and Captain Peel. The first of these distinguished men writes a few words of admiring smypathy on the occasion of Lieut. Wood's receiv ill a severe wound. The second writes to Captain Michell, R.N.:—" I saw him (Wood) in the trenches, and he bore it like a hero. He was Peel's A.D.C., and Peel tried to keep the boy from the murde rous fire into which they plunged with the scaling ladders, but he would take no refusal, and went out with the rest." And in writing to Mr. Wood him self, Sir Stephen says :—" You have none to thank for the Legion of Honour but your own gallant conduct from the first to the last crowning act, when you walked up from the Redan, with a huge grape shot sticking in your arm, which I took at first for the bone protruding." Captain Peel praises the young man's " beautiful courage in battery," and adds that "conduct and manners are as exem plary as his courage." In his memorable speech at the Mansion-house, Lord Lyons-declared that no brighter instance of devotion was contained in the pages of chivalry than the conduct of Captain Peel and his aides-de-camp, among whom Mr. Wood came in for special notice. We have been somewhat circumstantial in recalling the services of Mr. Henry E. Wood, because we learn that, on the most incon - ceivably absurd ground, he has been refused the dis tinction of the Victoria Cross or Order of Valour. It appears that his name had been down for sonic months ; but because he left the navy and sought other ways of winning renown in the cause of his country the genius of routine has interposed, declar ing that the young hero shall go unrewarded and unhonoured. Lieutenant Wood, who is a son of John Page Wood, Bart., has memorialised the First Lord of the Admiralty, respectfully appealing for justice. The fresh publicity we have given to his case may, and we sincerely hope will, be of help iat procurinc , him what he has so goo d a titl e t o de mand.—Daily News. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The _ ich papers appear wonderful 4 7' _ - - with the proceedings taken in this country spect of its Navy, but it is highly instructi't to. ir‘ remark that the particular feature which is re garded with astonishment on the other side of' the Channel never provoked a single observation an ong ourselves. The French arc amazed at the mo ‘gn i- : -L tude of our resources and at the prodigious ex tent of the operations which these resources pe:rinit us to undertake without hesitation or misgiv ing. Englishmen were struck with the deficiencies: re ported ; Frenchmen arc surprised at the reso lutions adopted for supplying them. A Parisian journal declar es th a t a ll the dockyards of all the maritime Powers in the world could not, even by combining their efforts, accomplish in single year what we propose to effect before this time twelvemonth—viz., the construction of 2G powerful men-of-war, including 15 line-of-battle ships. In this reflection there is probably som e truth, but there is another circumstance in the calm more remarkable still, and that is, that this per formance will cost us next to nothing in comparison with the gross sums which have been voted from ye ar to year. Millions after millions have been supplied and expended with the result of a defective fl e et, when all of a sudden it is resolved to raise the streni ;th of this fleet 50 per cent., and we are assured that the thing can be done for some £900,000. It must not be forgotten that a good deal of this wiprk consists rather in conversion than construction, :Ind that even the new ships to be launched have b eon for some time in course of building ; but, after a ll allowances on this score, the contrast between w hat money fails to do when it is loosely expended . and what it can be made to do when it is rigorously applied is very striking indeed. We do not expect much from Sir J. Pakingt6n's explanatory figures. He has undertaken' to pre sent a strict account of the Dockyard expenditure for the whole period, reviewed by Lord Clarence Paget, and he affirms that the document will . show the application of every sixpence of the public money. We do not doubt it ; but, for all this, it is possible that the case may be left just where it stands. Nobody supposes that our naval charges are materially affected by peculation or embezzle ment. We have not come to that pass in this country. Lord Clarence Paget himself expressly stated that he did not suspect any malversation whatever ; in fact, he went the length of explain ing the manner in which he conceived the funds to have been wasted. What he said was, not that £5,000,000 was absolutely unaccounted for, but that it was unaccounted fur in sub stantial returns—that there was no equivalent for it in ships actually afloat. This seems undeniable, and it will signify very little, there , - fore, to the general conclusion whether the money has been swallowed up in one kind of " accidental" expense or another. There is no escaping from the dilemma in which recent disclo sures have placed us. Either £900,000 will not do what it is expected to do, or twenty times that sum ought to have done a good deal more than it has done. ' It deserves to be noticed, as characteristic of our national temperament in such matters, that the pre sent inquiry was provoked, not by any increase of charges, but by a deficiency of results. The an nouncement which created so much sensation was not that Ministers wanted an extra million for the navy, but that the navy wanted a whole squadron of line-of-battle ships and frigates. If money's worth had been forthcoming there would have been but little talk about money. Even the reference made to the French marine did not affect the question in its essentials. We have before remarked that the actual proportions of the French fleet are not more than commensurate with the natural requirements of that Power. Our own shortcomings were positive, not comparative. Our line - of- battle fleet was weak, not simply as contrasted with that of our neighbours, but as compared with that which we possessed in former times. In explanation of the fact, it was said that all our efforts were absorbed for a certain period in the construction of smaller vessels, and that, as there was a limit to the general rate of shipbuilding, what was gained in one department was necessarily lost in another. On this remark we can only say that, if the facts are so, the result, when illustrated by the acknowledgment of the French journals, becomes very satisfactory. If the construction of ships of war can only proceed at a given rate, and that rate is higher in the case of England than in that of all the other maritime Powers together, it is clear that with good adminis tration, we need never be uneasy about our position on the seas. All we have to do is to vote reasonable supplies, and to provide proper management. The first are never refused ; the latter, we trust, may spring at last out of the investigation now pending. A country like England must always work at some disadvaßtagc in the maintenance of its navy. This is part of the price paid for supremacy. France and Russia may regulate their fleets as they please, but we cannot be left behind. We must needs keep up with the progress of na7al architecture and nautical science ; we must have the best of ships and the most powerful of armaments. The consequence of this obligation is that we must be at the charge of experiments in every new discovery, while other nations may avail themselves of our, conclu sions and follow us at their leisure. Even the proportions of our Marine must be governed to some extent by the development of other Navies, but, on the other hand, it must be recollected that our fleet discharges a variety of duties for us. It answers the purposes both of frontier fortresses and a great standing army. We can regulate our military establishments by our own wants alone, by the demands of India and the colonies. We have few fortifications except round our great arsenals, and, if we want a larger navy than other Powers, we possess, as is now admitted, infinitely greater facilities for creating and maintaining it. It cannot have escaped the notice of the public that except for these " accidental expenses," which run away with untold sums, the entire cost of our dockyards might be regulated with something almost like precision. A given establishment will turn out so many line-of-battle ships, so many frigates, and so many smaller vessels, every year, and it is perfectly certain that the wear and tear of ships will never, under ordinary circumstances, be equivalent to the new supplies. Supposing, for instance, that our annual accession of strength is represented by hall-a-dozen ships and frigates, it is beyond all question that this number of ships and frigates will not have fallen to pieces during that period, so that our aggregate force ought always to be rather on the increase than other wise. In fact, if it were not that ships got out of fashion and were left in arrear by new models, our rate of building might be very safely reduced. We have obtained during the recent debates some very useful elements of reckoning. We have been told how much a line-of-battle ship costs, and how much a frigate. We have learnt how many vessels of various classes the Royal yards can turn out every year under ordinary con• ditions, and, finally, we have heard from the First Lord of the Admiralty what amount of strength the British line-of-battle fleet ought to possess. Now, from data like these we do think that a system might be constructed of some regularity and certainty; nor can we understand how it is that the " theory " of proceeding in such matters should be so constantly upset. Why should there be de mands so sudden or extraordinary as to interfere with contemplated arrangements ? Admitting that the construction of gunboats was an exceptional case, that is only a single instance in a long series of years. If the regular production of our dock yards inc►udes, as we are told it does, v essels of every class,--not only line-of-battle ships and frigates, but smaller vessels also, how is it that all of a sudden there arises an urgent call ter this or that description of vessel to the exclusion of others? These are some of the points which \VC hope to see cleared up by the forthcoming explanations. The worst of the whole matter is its mystery. Sir John Pakington himself must have felt that there was something wrong, or he would not have instituted inquiries; naval men generally must feel so, for they are always the first with their pro tests, and the public jump naturally to the same conclusion from a simple comparison of expendi ture with results. All agree that there is no foul play, but all suspect that there is bad administra tion, and this we cannot afford to go on with.— Times. DEATHS FROM EATING MONKSHOOD.--A lament able event occurred at Ecclesfield-hall, near Sheffield, a few days ago. The occupiers of the hall were Mr. and Mrs. Greaves, the former of whom was 81 years of age, and the latter was 76. Mrs. Greaves prepared a salad for dinner, and, unfortunately, when she pinked the materials for the salad in the garden, she gathered with them a quantity of ;Teen leaves from a plant of monkshood. Both she and her husband ate heartily of the salad, soon after doing which they were both seized with violent pains, and died poisoned. HERO.—On Sa turday EL las Co t 3 c l u E pt li .
