Betrayed by Tickling Fly.

Philadelphia.—Until a fly lighted on his face, Michael Halbert, 30 years old, seemed to be unconscious at Cooper hospital, Camden. Shortly after he was arrested on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, Halbert made a fake effort to end his earthly career by hanging from the lron bars of a cell with his suspenders. He was found by Policeman Clay, apparently unconscious, and hurried to the hospital. ' Doctors were about to bring the man to consciousness, when suddenly he brushed a fly from his nose, the tickling sensation having apparently annpyed him. He was returned to Jail without further ado.
