THE CASE OF MR.. COUGH.

AS the late strange condition of this eloquent
Lecturer on Temperance, has highly excited the
public mind, give our readers the following
additional particulars. He was found after a
weeks absence in house in Walker street, of
bad character, in more respects than one. His
own account Of himself is, that after leaving the
Croton Hotel, he met with an old shopmate, with
whom he drank, as he supposed glass of soda
water, and from that time ill he was found he
has but little knowledge of what TRANSFERRED
He is now with his friends, and under the care
of a physician, and hopes are entertained of his
speedy recovery.
Mr.. Cough, as has been previously stated left
the Croton Hotel, and went to the store of Messrs
Saxton s. Miles, where he transacted some bust
ness and left; passing Coleman's he stopped to
look at some prints in the window, when he was
accOsted by an old acquaintance and shopmate

they saw large number Of persons waiting round

off the most choice marketing. They have.
therefore ordained, that no marketing shall he

THE DAILY BEE.

1t was with severe pang we read the an

had closed its short but busy life in tie city of

people when they suffer press of that kind to 90

are five thousand people in the District who cannot
afford to take ten dollar paper, who could afford
