Important Trial.-A gentleman just ar
rived from Bangor Me. has given us par
tlculars of case of recent occurrence
there, which is said to have excited con-
siderable sensation. An uolicened deal
er, named Treadwell, keeping saop at
what is called the Point, with the assis-
tance of an uhderstrapper, named Wood
ward, undertook, on Tuesday last, to fur
nish an Irishman (whose name we have
not learned with as much ,rine as he could
drink, for 25 cents. The Irishman drank
a pint of stuff which was drawn for him
as port wine,' and walked off. In about
half an hour he returned and drank two
pints more. The result was death. -
Woodward was apprthended, on compaint
ofthe Coroner who held an inquest over
the body. On Friday last he was exam
ined before Justices Abbot aud Gilman
the Hon. J. McGaw, prosecuting officer,
and Gorham Parks, ESQ. counsel for the
defendant-and required to recognise in

MIR Speaker: The wolf is the most
ierocious animal that prowls in our west

OF Indiana. He crecps from his lurking

Nature is locked in the silent embrace OF

THE COMPLAINT Of THE LUNGS.
Dear ladies', hear our sad complaint,
And pity our distressi
Too long we've borne Our silentg.
'Tis time to geek redress.
In cruel fetters bound, we plead;
Oh! hear our feeble cry:
Your corsets vile, oppress US 90.
We scarce can bear sigh.
We're hampered 80, we cannot breath,
We're stmted in our food;
We can I inhae The vital air,
10 purify your blood.
IT'S in our cells, the blood and air,
Indulge their warm embrace;
But scarcely have they room to meet,
While you SO tightly lace.
Our neighbors too are sorely pressed,
And grievously complain;
We're forced to bear each others woes,
And sympathise in pain.
The heart, you know, or ought to know,
Is pumping night and day,
To force the purple stream oflife,
Throughout its circling way.
The stomach and the liver too
Deserve not such a,use;
With ceaseless care they analyzs,
And fit your food for use.
Oh! could you see our crippled state,
Our languid movements view,
You surely would not grieve Us thus.
As thoughtlessly you do.
And why is all this rude attempt,
Your symmetry TO change'
Can you correct your Makers work.
Or better plans arrange!
The loveliest from that beauty wears,
Iswoman fair in youth;
Her perfect shape, taste may adorn,
But not amend its truth.
Dear ladies', we entreat you then,
BY all that's just in taste,
And as you value life and health,
Give freedom to the waist.
