medical aid called in, and they seemed TO revive a

some powerful poison. The contents of the jug were
examined, aud were found to consist of mixture OF
stramonium, henbane and cider, which had been
made up by neighboring doctor as a remedy for
rheumatism. Townley, who was known to have a
very strong constitution was apparently much better

the sequel is the saddest Of all. Towney had not

Fun IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,. = A
Washington correspondent of the New York Express
relates the following incident;
There was funny move in the House yesterday
afternoon. While the Appropriation bill was under
discussion, three members, Phillips Of Philadelphia,
Clements Of Virginia. aud Hall OF Massachusetts,
were discovered TO be lying at full length upon sofas
and sound asleep. Florence, of Philadelphia, rose TO
question OF order-he wanted to know IL members
had any business TO sleep at such time that This
called the attention Of the House TO the deiinquents
and set it off into good hnmor. Member after mem
Der rose to ridiculous witty question of order
the members meanwhile gathering around the sleep
ing ones, who continued TO snore on in unconscious
bliss. The spell was broken, when crowds were
gazing upon Clemens, OF Virginia, and page was
authorized to wake him. He started up In amaze.
ment, to his fellow-members gathered about him.
but in moment, understood the fun and shot of to
his seat. Phillips and Hall were subjected to SIMILAR
process. when the House again went on to consider
the Appropriation bills before it.
