DEATH L!

MARY ANN ZoLLARs, a most amiable and
respectable young lady of our town, came to
most shocking and heart rendering death on
Tuesday last, az about eleven or twelve o'clock
A. M. The facts seem to be as follows: she
was living with Mrs. r. Crozer, in the absence
of Mr.. Cfosier, Esq, went to the resi-
dence of DR.. D. A. Arter to assist Mrs. Arter
in the discharge of her. household duties, for
that day, intending to return in the evening"
And about fifteen minutes previous to her
death, she passed into the medicine shop of
the Doctor, and was thoughtless enough to
taste the medicines in some of the vials and
jars /; and amongst others she tasted that of
the strychnine And in few minutes after
wards shO felt the effects upon her system, and
became alarmed.-And in the meanwhile, Mrs
Arter discovered she looked i'll, and made in.
quiry OF her, and she stated in substance. the
foregoing facts -averring, however, that she
had not swallowed any portion of the medi-
cine. But alas poor girl had taken the
fatal step, and was in the short space of fifteen
minutes bound to leap the gates of eternity
Notwithstanding every effort was made by
Drs. Todd, Boegel. and others, to save her
DR.. After was absent at the time.) Truly sin
the midst OF life, we are in DEATH"

prosecution, against the banks, made certain
sundry propositions to settle or compromise tile
