REMARKABLE OCCuRRENCE.-A gentle
man residing in Manchester called at bar
room in that place on Wednesday evening
to refresh himself with "some good old
rye" and while he was pouring the fluid
which was handed to him into glass, the
glass suddenly burst into pieces with such
violence as to send piece through tho
lining of his coat. Not thinking that such
a thing could be done by any compound
resembling whisky, he helped himself in
another glass, and upon swallowing the
contents he became sensible of having
taken some strong and poisonous acid, to
prevent the effects of which he rushed to
the fire place and ate largely of the wood
ashes therein. We understand that he
will drink no more.
