Monsieur Chaubert was Captain in the service |

Sans ana sent 10 Siberia where it is supposed he
discovered his secret antdote to fire and poison.
Two years ago he excited great establishment in

for the first offence, three dollars, for the
second, six, for the third and fourth still
larger sum; and is also deprived of the
right OF voting at elections, of being an
pointed representative. He is besides pub

following Sunday. If the same individual
is found committing the same offence the

labor; and if he is again guilty, to twelve
months punishment of Il similar description.

such as a. a fair, at an auction, &c, the fine
Is double, and if the offender has made his
appearance in the church, the punishment
is still more severe. Whoever is convicted
of having induced another TO intoxicate
himself is fined three dollars, which sum is
doubled if the drunken person is a minor.
