The Kentucky Reporter states that the case
of ISAAC B. DEsHA was called OIL the first day
of the Circuit Court, which commenced at
Cynthiana on the 18th ult and renire was
summoned TO try him. The whole panel was
rejected, each one having formed or er10ressed an
opinion, either from rumor or otherwise, touch
ing the prisoners guilt. The effort TO procure
jury was con inued the second day, but,wlth-
out success, and the trial abandoned for the
term. No expectation is now entertained of
his ever being again tried in that county. This,
says the Reporter, will in effect acquit him, or
keep him state prisoner at an annual expense
to the public Treasury Of something like THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS!
The same paper remarks that on the trial OF
Beauchamp, there was no; particle ofproofito
shew that Col. Sharp's house, the place where
he was murdered, is in Franklin county. This
omission, according to Judge Browns decision,
would have been good ground for setting aside
the verdic, of the Jury Indeed it is stronger
case, for in relation to Desha the act of Assem-
bly, changing the venue from Fleming to Harri-
son county expressly says, he shall be tried
as though th> murder oraS commitfedm Harrison

We stated some days since, on the serious
authority of New-York papers, that the far
famed Colonel Pluck, of Philadelphia, would
visit New-York on the 4th inst for the pur-
pose Of uniting in the Jubilee Celebration. The
Freeman's Journal says tits mistake, and adds
that the Colonel is now under an arrest by or
der of the Brigadier General, and is to be tried
at Court Martial on the 9TH of July. He is
now a, work at a marble yard, at the corner of
Callowhil and Fourth streets, having abandon
ed his ostlership. The charges and specitica-
tons against him are very numerous.

By an arrival at New-York We learn that a
serious fire took place at Charleston, S. c. on
the oath ultimo. on the West side Of Kings
street, few doors above Boundary street. The
whole number Of houses burnt, amounts TO a
bout S4 or SIS, most of them occupied as stores
or dwellings. From the rapidity with which
the flames spread, a very small portion only Of
the goods and furniture in them was saved, and
that in damaged state. No lives were lost,
which had been apprehended from the repeat
ed explosions of gunpowder, but two or three
persons were injured, but none very seriously.
1t had not been ascertained how the fire origi-
mated.

offending cause OF the disease III ques
ton, although the cause will have ope
rated SO far before we can see the pa
tent, that the means pointed out will be
required. The syringe will also pre-
vent the water from continuing its ac-
ton, and give US fair field OF action.
To prevent the evil we have spoken
Of, we beg leave TO refer the reader to
the following remarks OF Dr. Rush.
ii neither the voice oil reason, nor the
fatal examples OF those who have Pc
rished from this cause, are sufficien, to
produce a restraint 10 drinking large
quantity OF cold liquors, when the body
Is hreternaluratty heated, then let me
advise 10,
/. Grasp the vessel ont of which
you are about to drink for minute or
longer, with both your hands. This will
abstract portion OF heat from the bo-
dy, and impair, it at the same time to
the cold liquor, provided The vessel is
made OF metal, glass or earth; for heat
follows the same laws, IN many instan-
ces, in passing through bodies, with re-
gard to lis relative velocity, which we
observe 10 take place in electricity.
2 l. you are not furnished with a
cup, and are obliged 10 drink by bring
ing your mouth IN contact with the
stream which issues from pump or a
spring, always wash your hands and
lace previously TO your drinking, with a
little OF the cold wafer. BY receiving
The shock oil The water frs upon those
parts oil the body, a portion OF It's heat
IS conveyed away, and the vital parts

DRINKING COLD WATER IN HOT WEA-
TIER.


In Rlsh's Medical Inquiries it is aid
down as settled point, that three cir.
comslances generally concur TO pro-
duce disease and death from drinking
Geld water. LIST. Tue patient Is ex-
uremely warm. Q. The water is ex-
treuely cold. Add 81. a large guam
lily OF it is suddenIy taken INTO The body
Abe danger from drinking cold water, is
always 10 proportion to the degrees Of
sonbmaiIoD which occur in the thrct
circumstances that have been mentioned.
In tcw alnutss after the pa lent has
swallowed the water, he IS affected win
dimness oil sight, he staggers ia attemp,-
ng 10 walk, and unless supported falls

nostrlls and checks expand and contract
IN every act OF respiration bis face APP
pears saC1ased with blood, and of livid
color, and his pulse impercep.ibie and
unless relei is speedily obtained, the dis
order terminates IN death in four or five
minutes.
More frequently, patients are seized
with acute spasms IN the breast and sto
mach. These spasms are so painful as
20 produce syncope, and even asphy2la.
HEY are sometimes OF tonic, but more
frequently OF the clonic kind. In the
intervals OF the spasms the patient ap-
pears to be perfectly well. The inter
vais between each spasm become long

tends 10 HE or death.
Ii may not be improper to take no.
tice, that punch, beer, and even toddy,
when drank under the same cirCumstan-
ces as cold water, have all been known
10 produce the same morbid and fatal
effects.
AS it regards the method of rcmov
ing these unpleasant symptoms and pre-
venting their fatal result, Dir. Rush says
he knows but one remedy, and that is
Liquid Laudanum. True, it is an i'm
portant and indispensable remedy, and
we have frequently been told by the pa
tieDts after their recovery that they felt
they must have died had they not taken

TO go to the right place at once, and ei
tect Just the purpose mos, desired. Elk
ternal auxiliary means are also neces
sary to expedite the removal OF the dis
ease. The body and more particularly
the eXtremities, should be wrapt in hot
blank cts, and warmth aud friction I'M
ceaaingly applied to the hands and feet.
AS soon as practicable, the laudanum
com bIned with aether should be admin
istered in large dose. As much should
be given at dose as Ia ay be taken in
safety, and the same repeated every
half hour till its effects become obvious.
A little Spirit OF Peppermint may be
given occasionally, or Aqua Ammoniac,
as the judgment OF the practitioner may
direct.
In addition to these means we would
recommend that the water be abstract
ed from the stomach as soon as posi-
bic by the stomach syringe. When
spasms are induced by any hard or indi-
gestible substance which has been eaten,
we all know the immediate benefit az
forded by an eme.ic. BY the use of the

10 the period Of lis adoption. Mr. Car

The explanation Of the incorrect ad
missions and omissions above mentioned,
IS gwen by MIR. M'Kean himself, in an
interesting letter % the late President
Adams, bearing date, January, 1912, on
which, and on The Journal, We have re-
he'd, as authorizes for the facts we have
stated. Alter The declaration was va,ed,
ii was engrossed and signed oS those
then present. A few Gays after, reso-
luton was entered on the secret and yet
unpublished journals, that no person
should have seat in Congress during
ttaal year until lI3 name was Inscribed.
Mr. Nj K an, after the Afh Of July, left
Philadelphia, and marched in the com
mand Of regiment Of volunteers, TO The
support Of General Washington. Re
turning al the expiration OF several
months, his name was signed to the OIL
gnal parchment, and, has been trans-
crIbed in the engraved copies. since
made, of this document.
Ii has been recently stated that the
final vote was taken in Congress, on the
| declaration, between the hours o! twelve
and one, and that il was publicly pro-
claimed at FIVE O'Clock, on the same at
ternoon, MIR. Jefferson, therefore, il IS
asserted, had lived hall century from
the adoption, and the years OF Mr.
Adams were fifty after the PRONUNCIATION
of the document which pledged lie,
fortune, and honor, on the altar Of H.
berty.
