HORRIBLE Effects OF RUM.--Thc fol-
lowing account of an unfortunate rum
o0rdy we are informed occurred in Tin
omuth, about two weeks since. An old man
and his wife by the name Of i, some
time previous to the day of the accident,
made Il social visit to friend of his in the
same town or the edge Of Dandy, by the
name of $. 1t seems they had rum,
over which they had Notification. Before
they separated it was agreed that 5. and
his wife should return the visit.-The time
came and all were punctual to the appoint

finally consented to retire to their beds. 1t

time, and getting partially over the Supply

But instead of going 20 the cupboard where
the poison was, he opened the cellar door,
and fell down. His wife hearing him fall
and groans which followed got up to 90 to
his assistance. She also when she came to
the top of the stairs lost the centre OF gravi-

help themselves and almost senseless, until

Paper.
Between Philadelphia and Pittshurg, in
the sleigh, man by the name of Yerkes,
an agent, opened the canvass bag and took
out bundle of the Evening Star and
destroyed it, first offering the papers to the
passengers. Is this to be tolerated among
other abuses?--N Y. Star.
u5-It was your bull that gored my OK
said the farmer. That alters the case,'
said the Judge. The N. Y. Star has been
foremost in expressing its approval and
eXutation whenever the mail has been
plundered of abolition newspapers, pamph-
lets and letters. But bundle of the Star,
it is alleged, has been opened and destroy
ed, which leads its Vandal editor to exclaim,
is this to be tolerated among other ahuses:'
O., certainly not it was n great mistake,
nay, daring crime. If it had been a
bundle of tho Liberator, or Emancir ator,
or Human Rights, the act would have been
not only pardonabte but praiseworthy NOT
only tolerated among other abuses but
recorded in the N. Y. Star as patriotic!--
1t is due to Mr. Yerkes to add, that he has
publicly contradicted the statement of the
Star in the most conclusive manner. But
let this be remembered--that he who justi-
ties or pallates the robbery of the mail in
one instance, or towards one class of men,
licenses its robbery in all instances, and
towards all classes. LiJerator.
