consisting Of two carpet sacks, was removed.
Soon after he proceeded TO Diotrich's Drug Store
lin the Phillips House Building,) and pur-
chased two OF. phial Of laudanam, when he
returned to his room. II seems that he had
everything prepared for his "taking OFF,
f5r he had written trashy letter addressed "To
the Unfeeling World" and note to the Clerk
Of the Phillips House the former he placed
upon the table In his room, and the latter he
managed to have sent to Mr.. Leonhsrd. In the
mean time he took portion Of the laudanum,
and put the balance out Of sight. The note to
the Clerk requested the attendance Of some piouH
minister to console him in the "article Of DEATH
az he was surely going TO die. The clerk ac-
compsnied by minister, and several persons
about the house, repaired to his room, where a
solemn scene tFanspired He played up the
agonies Of dissolution and preparatory death
throes to charm, deceiving the upinitated in
the room. Dr.. Davis was called in, however.
when he assured the company that the man was
not in great danger
His story was the old one--"no occupation (;
out Of money; tired Of life wanted to die"
&c, He recovered, however, and worked upon
the sympathies Of the people so successfully by
his disconsolate story as to receive about $95,
and R. r. ticket to indianapolis, to which
place he started yesterday.
On Tuesday we were called upon by two
or three gentlemen who requested we.would say
nothing about the unfortunate occurrence the
young gentleman was to be pitied was low

rash act; did not want the matter known its
publication could do no good, while it would
annoy the young man and--"all that kind
of thing" We had already written out
an item in regard TO the affair, from information
received from parties present at the tragedy
but suppressed IL, 1t is very probable that
hereafter we will pursue the course zoe deem
best In regard to such matters. The result
has proved the correctness of our opinion formed
at the time, that the thing was ho6x, on the
Confidence" plan, TO obtain "raise," and that
1t ought to be exposed at once
The Conductor of the sandusky down train
yesterday, brought the interesting intelligence
that Lamertine had. played precisely the same
trick in Sandusky, the other day, with the same
success. He procured about $40 in cash, anil a

Fred Blake was school boy play mate Of
ours. He was bright fellow, generous To his
fellows, and a general favorite. His school
days were oroditably employed, and he went
TO The University. We fear that was the date
ofFred retrograde 10 life. We saw him only
occasionally; he was rather Wild and we
thought we detected the scent Of alcohol upon
his breath. And then he was not punctual, as
he used TO be; we could not exactly depend
upon his promises, and his want OF truthful.
ness Paiued u.s. At length he graduated, with
the highest honor ofhis class. We remember
the occasion Of his return home; large party
was given.by his father in honor Of the success
Of his cherished boy. On that evening, Fred
retired early; it was said he was taken sudden
ly i'll, while it was whispered about that he
was overcome with drink
We cannot trace Fred Blake along his career
Of alternate reform and dissipation. The ten
dency was downward Al the point wher e
his father in very dispair turned him out upon
the world, we lost sight Of him, for he departs
cd no one knew where.
Last week we stood by his death bed He
had returned from several years. wandering, a
wreck of mind and body. He had returned TO
die, he said, where he was born. We would
not have recognized him, had we seen him any
where else than we expected to sec him. When
we approached him he called us by name, and

how he felt, wac "RUMp His commissions

question every request came the answer "RumW
Fainter and fainter grew his voice, until he
ceased to urticulate; yet his lips continued to

made some sign, we leaned over his pillow,
thinking he had something to communicate
Hiseyes glared fcarfully upon us, while he gasp
ed--"R.u.ml" His parents and sisters gathered
close to his side, to take a last look upon his
living form; but his eyes were closed; his jaw
had fallen; he had died with the name of his

williamsburg is improving very fast in
many respects. Buildings are going up in dif.
ferent parts of the town, and the evidences of
healthy prosperity are every where plainly dis,
cernAble. The business house recently erected
by VIM. Hoff, Esq, deserves particular mention,
but we have only time to say that it is a very
fine structure, built of Dayton marble, in mod
ern style, and is three stories high. The low.
er story is an elegant store room; the second
story is used principally for ware room for
goods, etc., and the third story is being com.
Pleted for Mason and Odd Fellow Halls, we
learn. The building would be a credit to any
place. Weare pleased to note that the Burg
is going ahead more rapidly than ever before.

"FoREsTALLIN0 MARKEr."-We hear frequent
complaints from our citizens about the "fore.
stalling of our markets" BY persons who make
it their business to attend before market hours,
and buy up what they may desire, for the pur-
pose Of selling again. The time for opening
the market is set at 8 o'clock, A, NJ, By ordi-
nance and 1t is not lawful to either bug or
sell before that hour. We have positive infor.
nation OF the hsbitual breaking Of this Ordi.
nance, and we will feel compelled to attend to
the matter If the Market Master does not put a
stop to it. The matter can be attended to, cas-
n.y. by proper vigilance. The interest Of the
people demands that the practice complained Of
be stopped. We shall notice the matter closely,
and II we see any more Of this "forsstallinR, {"
il it does not get legal airing. it will not be
our fault.
