Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1853-09-16


II melancholy and fatal affair which occurred
near the Summit recently, the particulars Of
& which are as follows:
Aman whose name wedid not hear, felt sylnp- /
toms of Ague and remarked to the keeper of
Grocery Store that he would give almost any
thing to prevent an attack of the disease The
Grocer replied that he would cure him, and there
upon gave him quantity of Tartar eDsctic, which
he took and went home. The dose was entirely
too great, and he was Frustrated at once from its
effects. Drs. jackson and Howe sent for,
but before they reached him he was dead.
This should prove warning to persons who
are in the habit Of administering medicines by
random. Human life is too precious to be idly
tampered with, and none should attempt to deal
out poisonous or dangerous drugs but those who
are familiar with their properties and effects.
HURRAH FOR THE Music Just as we were
sitting in Sanctum, pen in hand, trying to
eonjure up . item, the strains of q Oh, Su-
san-ab ~ greeted cur ears, pathetically ground
out by Organ grinder. A crowd surrounded
the imported musician, ofcourse, while he played
away as if the fate of kingdoms depended upon
his getting as much noise out of the box as pos
sible. He seemed to be happy-all around seem
ed to be happy; and, reader, would you believe it?
we almost envied the man with the organ.
