All these mnen had received cuts or bruises fvbile employed on African teak wood; atid though sonie have attributed time deaths to atmospheric influence, there are not a few who assign thenii to the reception of the poisonous juices of the above named timber. Of these men, a shipwright, Gregory Nichols, a re- nrarkably powerful and aetve man, scratched his leg against a piece of the wood, and mnortification ensued almost immediately. To as-' certain the probable cause, Dr. Bell, the surgeon, on Meouinday last, opened the body, and iu the course of thie dissection happened to scratch one of his fingers. This passed unnoticed at thze time but in tle afternoon Dr. Bell becamne alarmed at perceiving it, thin'irtg he might bave imbibed some of the morbid matter. Shortly atler- wards a hilvering caent on, and lie was obliged to be put to bed and bled.
