town. The principal of the school Mr..
johnson, having found this out forbade
the correspondence, and even wrote him
self to the young lady forbidding her to
send the young man any more lettcrs.-
She, however, continued to write, aud it
happened, day or two before the fatal oc-
currence, that the young man chanced to
drop one Of her letters, which letter was

of returning the letter to the young man,
with such kind admouitons as his own
judgement ought have suggested, this fool
or knaye, or both, had the letter publicly
read before the school, which SO wrought
upon the young mans mind that he at once
determined to put an end to his own exis-
tence. The shame, he thought it, of such
public exposure, was more than he was able
to bear

An Injurious Fertilizer.

Very severe prohibitions have been
issned in France, England and Ger
many, against the use Of poudrette i'm.
perfectly prepared, it having been
proven by careful experiments that the
focal matter of sinks cannot be con-
verted with safety into garden manure
under i've years' careful preparation.
Presidential and other diseases are
propagated by vegetables grown in
soil thus MANFRED. Yet it is stated
that these death-dispensing deposits,
are absolutely used in the market gar
dens around our large American cities
10 their natural state, and many of the
fruits and vegetables thus grown can
be told by the nostrils or by the tatse
before they are cooked, and in the pro-
cess of cooking.
1t is the opinion of skillful medical
observers that nearly all the novel dis
eases which now afflict many Ameri-
can cities, owe their origin to the or
game diseased matter taken up bv
vegetables and fruit grown in soil
dressed by focal matter of sinks, and
transferred to the stomach. GalIoping
consumption, in persons, have been
traced to the use of vegetables grown
by poudrette. This is only one in
stance out of thousand.
