Denies That the Best of Men Get Drunk.

In the trial of a case before Jndge Dickey, in the supreme court at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., an attorney remarked in justification of admissions made concerning the personal habits of his client, “The best of men get drunk." Judge Diokey in his charge to the jury said: “I dissent entirely, as I know yon all do, with the opinion expressed by the attorney for the defendant, that the best of meh get drunk. The best of men do not get drunk. If there ever was such a time, it has gone by in this and all other oivilized communities."
