STARVED TO DEATH.-The Con-
neautville Courier Of last week in
speaking of the death of Gilbert Gut
Ter, proprietor of the Cutler House, at
Crossingville, Crawford county, says
The particulars of his death from a
case of particularly distressing inter-
est, he having literally died of starva-
ton. He had been ailing for several
months, from structure of the aesopha-
gus, and was only to partake of liquid
food, the quantity growing smaller
with each succeeding day, until at
length he was unable to swallow a siu-
gle drop. For thirteen days previous
to his death not the slightest particle
of food or drink reached his stomach,
and death to him was a welcome Wis
itor. The disease was simply the grad
ual closing Of the tube through which
food is conveyed to the stomach, and
the best medical skill failed in afford
ing relief
