LOOK TO I've have heard Of case Of robbery
involving pretty large amount Of money, which

tious TO their premises from the depredatons
of rogues without and within.
INQUEST The coroner, Thos. Woodward, esq,
held an inquest on Monday evening over the body
Of Peter Carrigan, an lrishman, aged about fifty
years, found drowned in the canal below the Iron
bridge. Peter was an enlisted soldier and stationed
at the navy yard. About fourteen days ago he
came into the city, and, as was his wont, drank
pretty freely In the evening he started for the
barracks, in the company of friend, but on the
way grew stubborn, and resolved TO come up to the
city again. This was the last known of him till
Monday evening, when he was found in the water,
where from all appearances, it is believed he had
lain since the night of his disappearance. The
verdict was in accordance with these facts. Will
any one who loves strong drink profit by the exam
pie of this unfortunate man?
