The following account, from the Toronto

At about eleven O'Clock on Thursday

Wright, liquor manufacturer, at Brampton,
left the store for the purpose of manufac-
turing a quantity of brandy from raw
spirits. He took with him a preparation
used for this purpose-by some called
~essense of wine, and by others essence of
brandy. The preparation was placed on
the table in the warehouse, and the de-
ceased, (Mr Morris) after preparing a
portion of the liquor, returned to the
store, and took a glass of ale with SOM
friends from Toronto. He had scarcely
returned to his former occupation more
than FIVE minutes, before the porter rar
into the store, in great alarm, exclaiming
"Mr. Morris has been tasting the essence
of brandy, and it has killed him."
On those present runningt to the spot, j
was found that the report was too true
the sufferer had inadvertently tasted a few
drops Of the drug, which is nearly alice
to prussic acid, and instant death was tn
consequence Of the unhappy mistake. Al
inquest was held in tie afternoon; but tn
verdict of the jury was not given at tn
time the cars left Brampton. Mr.. Nor

From LAKE PEprS.--Capt. Harlow, Of
the steamer Golden State, who arrived
here last evening from Reeds Landing,
informs us that the prospects for the
opening of Lake Pepin, looks dubious.
He arrived there Wednesday morning
and left in the afternoon, and during his
stay, the ice was making and teams were
crossing within sight. Snow was from
four to five inches deep. 1t is the opinion
of Capt. H., and we consider his opinion
of this matter as good, if not better than
any other one, for this reason, that he
has been on the River since 1836-that
with the most favorable weather it will
take ten days, at the least, to drive the
ice out of the Lake.-Dabaque Er. d. III.
