SSAAE EJECTED FROM MANS STOMACH.-FOr
some time back, gentleman named Harrison
Tyler Wade. on visit to friend in the neigh
borhood of Recdy Creek near Cox's Road. tslt

throat. This was attended with pain and res,

unceremonously into a cold temperature.

in the fields. used frequently to slake his thirst
at rivulets and creeks. and may then have swal-
