The Maine Liquor Law was adopted by pop
ular vote in Michigan the goth. Whereupon
The Detroit Tribune publishes the following:
DIED--On the Goth inst, Pure C. Brandy, E a.,
of dropsy. This event is not altogether unexpect-
ed, the departed had been afflicted with the
disease which caused his death, for a long time.
Of late the quantity of water accommodating in his
system was immense, and he had been tapped by
his physicians several times, but without effect.
He had large number of doctors, and some are
mean enough to say that that hastened his disease.
His loss will be sensbly felt by his many friends
who were accustomed to see him daily in our
streets.
Also, the same day, R. G. Brandy. ESQ ia
miliarly known by the subriquet of Rot GUT
and brother of P. c., whose death we chronicle
above. He took large quantity of poison (by
mistake it is supposedly several years ago. NJ
bad effects were realized at first, but for few
years past it has been spreading thro' his entire
system, and has finally caused his DEATH 1t is 10
be hoped that his death will be warning to those
who have been in the habit of taking poison for a
medicine
Also, on the same day, H. Gin, Esq. The de
ceased was n member of the Brandy family, and
a relative by marriage. He was a pative of Hul-
land, and fled to the United States several wears
ago, in consequence of having been actively en-
gagged in one of the revolutions that characterize
! that country. He was pursued by the Police, but
secreted himself in cssk and landed safely in
New York. Since then many of his family have
made their escape in the same manner. He left
large family of children. most of whom were
born in the country but we sorry to say are
not char by any of the trials Of their dis
tinguished father.
Also, on the same day, Rye Whiskey Esq Mr..
w. was one of the first settlers of Michigan. In
early life he was an Industrious, hard working
man. He has done much to build up our rail
roads and public works, and many people could mol
harvest their wheat unless Mr.. w. was with them
to cheer up their hands. How they vii! manage
to do since his death we are unable 70 ". Il
may lead 10 disastrous results and ii is fe, cd by
some that our farmers may cease 20 grow wheat
which would inevitably raise the price of ho4r.
Of late years however. Mr.. w. hal grown sI:ft-
less, noisy and quargesome, and any ne ghbyghcoi
that he visited sure to be the scepe Of ds,ur-
2 Dances of every nature. The two tIoquent uacur.
renco of street fights got up by Mr.. w. was the
|
blow on the head with ballot box in open day
light. The perpe::ator of the deed are not fu::,
: known. but suspicion rests upon two whos.
o names we believe are Mr.. Law and Mr.. Order.-
Several men from the Free Press office are o., III
watch, and ere this no doubt they have apprlen
, ded them.
= 1t is seldom that we have to announce the tieat
: of an entire family, thus swept away at one 10
swoop. They were all mon well known in on
o State and have acted in many capacities some on
of 'hem has been member of every LegisiGt,n
!, since organization State. In p.imaI
Q meetings and caucuses they have succeeded IL nom
mating their own friends to office. and aferw"d i
d electing ihem. There is hardly nn officer III IN
g State but what owes to them his election.
1t At the request of the friends Of the deceR 10,
g. their remains will not be inferred until Deoembr
l. next. Those who wish to Ike ia Is. fond louA
can do so at most of the s oce,ies and saoo:,s
towns -.
