For our mother they said they knew

as jealous 'Washingtonian' as the cause
ever numbered among its advocates and

to the Sons of Temperance simply on

to every other combination of faithful men

ANOTHER VIcTIM.-The Salisbury Watch
man thus records another instance Of death

from Virginia, aged 40 years, a shoemaker,
was found dead, Monday night last, in the
grog shop of Grandson Roberts, in this place,
kept by one Mr.. Little. He had been sitting
in a chair by the FIRE for some time, when
William M. Barker and Rowan Horah IN
tered the shop, and soon after took him off
his seat and laid him on the floor. About 8
o'clock at night, John Glover called in. and
while there, it was asked what should be
done with Hughes, who, as he had been
drinking from Saturday evening up to that
time, was supposed to be drunk. Mr.. Glo-
yer said he must not be put out of doors,
and proposed to lay him near the fire and
assisted by the keeper of the bar, they NOV
ed him accordingly. But in doing so, Mr..
Glover discovered that he was dead. The
Coroner was called in, and on Tuesday held
an inquest, which resulted in the verdict OF
death by excessive drinking of intoxicating
liquors." In the course of the investigation
of the causes of Hughes death, the bar
keeper, Little, stated that he had got one
drink at that bar. 1t was stated by others
that he had spent the most of the day al
Jack Halls grog-shop, and that they had pu
him out of the back door from that estab-
lishment.
Hughes had been in the employ of Messrs
Enniss & Bradshaw, and worked all the pre-
; ceding week. He received his wages Satur
day evening, and soon after went into
, spree Three dollars and twenty-five cent
were found in his pockets. 1t is suppose
