Burt came to his death at Elmira on
Friday in the following singular man
ner: The deceased on the Saturday

match, and short time after complain
ed of pain from a slight swelling on his
lip. On the following day physicians
We're summoned from New York and
Albany, who pronounced his disease a

BARON JAMES DE RorHsCHrLD is in o
very critical state of health. He is the
only surviving son of the founder of
the house. Ho is the chief of the Paris

eminent financier of the whole family.

and most respectable farmers of Madison
county, Illinois, on his return home
some time since, as he was about driv-

life. His men hearing his trouble,
came to his relief and carried him to
neighbor's house. A physician was
called, and by the use of proper anti
dots his life was saved. They also at |
tackled the family in the house, and they
had to save themselves by flight.
