This power consists Of two parts: FIRST, the spe.

Legislatures do to the respective States. And as

Death occasioned by .6ntipathy About two
months since a woman went lnto the shop OF Mr.
S. Simmons, publican and shopkeeper, in this
town, and requested Mrs. 5. to allow her to
weigh some cells Mrs. S told the woman she
could not allow her to weigh them there. as the

even the sight OF them would cause her to be ILL.,.
1t appears, h0wever, that the woman paid no at

but Immediately took some from her basket, and
put them into her scale. The sight of the eels and
the nearness of them to Mrs Simmons's person.
