GEORGETOWN, Dec 81, 1857
We have been assured, by several respectable
gentlemen, that Mr.. stone, the apothecary, who
sold the arsenic to the slave boy of Mr. Kengla,
and with which he killed himself, was COM
pletely deceived by the representations of the boy
otherwise he would not have sold him the article
The facts, as we are informed, as follows -
MI kengla had been in the habit, from time to
time, OF getting articles from Mr.. Stone; and
upon this occasion, the boy came in the name OF
his master, telling Mr.. :. that his master had
sent him to get the article for the purpose of de-
strOying rats about bis premises MIR. = oues-
TONED him very closely; and the boy giving such
plausible answers TO all his inquiries, and he
knowing both the boy and his master, was indu-
ced 10 let him have it. not supposing, for Il mo-
ment, that the boy intended to make an Improper
use OF it III these are the facts. and we have no
reason TO doubt them, they certainly exonerate
Mr.. stone from all cul pablity in the matter In
using the term ''unscrupulOus." in our notice of
the occurrence, we did not intend il in the otfrn
slve sense in which some mig hit construe il We
intended to convey the idea that druggists should

THE NEW CoDE.--It would be an interesting

Of the new code, If each writer would make him
self so far publicly known, as to sign his occu-
patton to his views IL has been alleged that
those only are opposed TO IL whose pockets or
liberties are to be injurously affected by it; aud,
as there are good grounds for the opinion that a
majority of mankind are governed by self-inter-
est, such an allegation may be true; and If true,
would, therefore, take away most, II not all, of
the force Of the objections made MULrus.
