Remarkable Death The Boston Galaxy of
Saturday last contains the statement subjoined,
with an ayerment Of the Editor that the deceased
was personally known TO him, had always been a
man of temperate habits, and, al the time the ae-
cidrnt happened, was in perfect health:
AsMr. Artemas Hemminway, Of Pcppereli,
Mass, on Friday morning last, October 5th,)
was dipping some new cider out Of the vat, he
was stung by yellow wasp on the middle joint
Of the second finger Of his right hand. He cried
out Immediately that he was in great pain, and a
person who vas near came up and extracted the
sting from the wound. His anguish increased
so much, however, that he was obliged to be led
70 his house, at distance Of not more than ten
rods from the spot where the accident happened.
As soon as he reached home he threw himself on
his bed. unable to support himself, appearing to
have no local pain, but complained Of univer.
sap,listress, as he expressed it. There was ne-
ther sickness at the stomach nor spasms Of any
kind. He complained of an uneasGess in the
bowels for few moments, aud soon after his
countenance became livid, and he sunk into
state Of insensibity. aud expired in less than 90
minutes from the time that he was stung. A
physician was instantly sent for, and arrived in
about half an hoar after MIR. Hemmenway' death,
when the body was found to be in such state as
made it inexpedent to examine it.
