Mr.. Hugh McWilliams, of Burlington,
VT, lost his life in the following way a
few evenings since: While walking with
his pipe in his mouth he ran againsta tree
in the street. BY the collision the stem OF
the pipe was driven into his throat slacer-
ating the torlsils and lining OF the throat.
A doctor was sent for who found serious
Inflammation and some symptoms OF dyph'
liberia, and ordered gargle and an opate
to relieve the pain. sMcWilliams died sud-
denly next day, perhaps from ldyphtheria,
and perhaps from Inflammation in the
throat, increased, possibly, by poisoning
| from the oil of tobacco from the broken
pipe. al Boa blsn ise 'feH' go
