The ApethecarY,s Ioko.

The Springfield Republican says that
in North Adams, a few days ago, mum.
Der Of young men who were bowed upon
having good time, deputed one of their
number TO procure some brandy. The
messenger represented to the apothecary
hat ii was wanted Tor bathing purposes,
and after some persuasion procured the
desired article. The apotbecary, how.
ever. susPecting something wrong, mixed
a little anlimony with the liquor before it
left his hands. THE consequence was
that those who drank the brandy soon
began to complain of illness, and finally
imagined themselves poisoned. One
hastened home 10 die in the bosom of his
family, another made his will. and third
commenced repeating prayer. They
all, however, recovered eventually, and
prosecuted the apothecary for viola.
