W A MfsTERT.-About6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing MIR. Charles Pearson, son of Moses Pear
son, Esq. was found in aninsensble condition
In Dulans new brick building ON Federal
street. He Was taken home, when it was sup
posed from his appearance that he had been
drugged, and Drs. Fitz and Merrill were i'm
mediately called, but it was of no avail. and
he died about four hours after being found =
The physicians succeeded in pumping enoupb
laudanum from his stomach to convince them
that this was the probable cause OF his death.
His watch was missing and his pocket-book
was empty, which leads to the suspicion that
there was foul play. M. Pearson Was % years

the railroad station at North Yarmouth. L
iuli investigation is to be made, when further
particulars viii be published. ''-
