Old colored man.-0nly one, boss, but
he didn't die, for we got whisky in time"
Prohibitionist.-"N tell me how
many men you have known during the

early grave, by drinking whisky"
Old colored mani must confess l
have known great many, and there are
plenty of men around this country do
ing that same thing now.
Prohibitionist.-"Well then, suppose
under our new whisky law, you couldn't
get whisky in case OF a snake bite, (Which
is not the case, for any doctor can keep

EDITOR SENTINEL:

EDITOR SENTINEL:
In your last W eek's paper you say: ave
publish elsewhere the decision of the State
supreme Court in the case of Hughes
vs.. H ? Lake. This was made test case
in the matter Of attachments against the
bank Of r. p. Lake and will doubtless be
read with good deal Of interest by our
readers" Your information that this was
made test case Hnot correct, The only
question involved in the case before the
supreme Court and of course, the only one
decided is as to whether or not facts sutfi-
csent to convict Of violation Of tho penal
act, are of themselves sufficient to warrant
an attachment. From the verdict Of the
jury it cannot be ascertained whether or
not the Bank, was in their judgement in
solvent, or whether or not Mr. Lake had res.
sonable grounds to believe it insolvent.
The jury said by their verdict, in effect
that the acts of Mr.. Lake did not show. an
intention to defraud Mr.. Hughes, and there
fore did not upon that ground subject him
to attachment.
1t is but fair to say that the court have
not in their opinion perpetrated tho gross
wrong supposed by some Of intimating
that the bank was known, or believed by
Lake, to be insolvent when he received Mr..
Hughes deposit. The point decided by the
COURTS purely Hypothetical, and will affect
the other cases only in this, that in case it
should be abundantly shown in the cases
to be tried, that at the time Of the receipt
Of the deposits Lake knew the bank was
insolvent or had good reason to believe it
was and failed to inform the depositor Of
its condition it will not be conclusion Of
law that he intended to defraud his credi-
tors, norl will the burden be upon the de.
fendant to show that it was not his inten-
tion to defraud. The jury will be required
to consider the facts if proved, together
with all the evidence in the case and de-
termine from the whole, the intention of
defendant. T.-.
Every case will be tried upon its individ.
ual merits. ~.

The Prayer OF intoxicating Liquors.
Our father who are in hell, we adore
thy name, we praise thee for our existence
and render thanks unto thee for the priv
ileges which we enjoy-for an earthly gov>
ernment which cares for us, and protects
US BY its strong arm, and gives US its citi-
zens for our slaves; which bids thy king
dom come and thy will be done efi earth
through us, as it is done in hell Give
us this day more happy homes, more
strong God>like men, more noble boys
and more fond parental hopes for our
daily bread and forgive us not our debts
if we fail to consume all that thou givest
US. Establish us under the shadow of
churches and homes, but lead us not in
the way of Prohibition and as thou dost
love us and care for US, deliver us from
the influence OF Christ's religion and the
enemy that destroys us. Aid us as thou
hast done in the pact, perpetuate us
among the children OF men, and the earth
shall be thy Kingdom-we will bc thy
people, and poverty, crime, misery, bro-
ken hearts, wrecked manhood lost souls
aud the desolation Of despair, together
with all our deep, dark damning deeds
shall be thy glory forever. Amen.

Resolutions of the Southern Baptist
Church Convention held in Montgomery
Ala, recently.
Whereas, the manufacture and sale
intoxicating liquors as beverage, in the
estimation of this Convention, are oppo.
sed to the best interest of society and
government, and the progress of our
holy religion and that all honorable
means should be employed for their supe

Resolved, That we as members of the
Southern Baptist Convention do most
solemnly protest against its manufacture
and sale and pledge our influence socially
morally, religiously, and in all other
ways, for its speedy overthrow, and to
this end, we invoke the blessings and aid
of Almighty God.

also referred to the fact that Gen. Gorden

ing-Death of One Victim.

BosToS, Mass, May 10.-witbin the past
Two days six cases of poisoning have oc-
CURED at the Highlands from eating lemon
pies, all bought from one dealer. The first
cases reported were three in family, Nick.
erson by name. The symptoms in these
cases were intense pain in the pit of the
stomach, persistent vomiting and purg-
ing violent headache, cramps of the
legs collapse, lividity of the
SKIN and blueness of the lips, labored
heart action, chilled extremeties and chilly
sensations. The other cases occurred in
the family OF Mr.. Dlbbern. They pur-
chased their lemon pie from the same
dealer Saturday night, and it constituted
part OF their breakfast on Sunday morn
Ing The daughter, about thirty years
OF age, the mother, about sixty-eight
years old, took breakfast about half-past
eight, and some three hours later the
symptoms Of poisoning were manifested.
In this same family one other member
was attacked, a brother. He breakfasted
atlorty-fve minutes past seven, eating
very small piece of the lemon pie
lie then took the train for Readyille to pass
the day in the woods. About half-past ten
he became very i'll, He had chills, and lay
partially unconscious on the ground in the
woods for several hours alone. He finally
recovered enough to walk slowly two miles
Then took the cars at Readville for Boston
This morning all but young Dibbern
were convalescent. He died this evening

twenty years ago Orfila recorded cases of
poisoning from eating vanilla ices, and re-
Gently so many cases have occurred in va
rious cities of Europe as to direct great
deal OF governmental and professional at
tention to the subject. Similar instances
have repeatedly occurred within the last
two years in Philadelphia
