He sat in the bar room until 11 oVIock, when he asked for lodgings. He was shown to a chamber in the attic, where he went to bed. I'arly in the morning he arose, and thinking of his morning dram, espied in a corner of the room, a bottle, w hich he put to his mouth and soon emptied of its whole contents. He was observed, soon after, going frequently to the pump, and swallowing immense draughts of water. Inquiries were made, and it was ascertained that he had swallowed a bottle of bug poison, (New England Hum and corrosive sublimate.) lie was in great distress medical aid was called, and three dozen of raw eggs and corresponding quantities of lamp oil were administered to him, with other remedies, and in the evening he experienced partial relief, when he was removed to South lioston, but he is still in great danger. lioston Transcript. A Cold Water .Man a hard drinker. A few days since we were made acquaint ed with Mr. James Webb, a native of Hanover, Mass. and now a resident ol North Fairhaven. This is the most remarkable man with whom we were ever in company. His strange history is fraught with peculiar interest. Howsoever incredible it may seem to those unacquainted with the fact, of its truth, we have had occular demonstration, that Mr. Webb is in the habit of drinking one or tic a (juarts of cold vater at one draught! He averages six gallons per day, drinking at the rate ot a quail an hour, both day and night, and, not unfrequeaill v, a gallon or upwards at a time. This has been his practice ever since his remembrance. He indulges in no luxuries of food eats moderately enjoys excellent health attends promptly to his business and lives happily with a wile and seven interesting o's;iring9. When dry lie is feverish and dizzy, and feels a burning throughout the system, es pecially at the stomach . H supposes he could not live many hours u ithout water, and he thinks he could drink until so full that the water would iii-h from his mouth and nose without expericming any unpleasant sensation. He had been withoul water three hours at one time, Mie last n which he was in excruciating pain. He is very active ha, in his younger days, run a mile in about lb, ! r minutes ; and will now, he say?, outrun any man that .cat! he produced.

He was horn in Hartford county, Maryland, nnd removed with his parents, at an early age, to the Village of Mount Pleasant, Monttromeiy Co. Kentucky and was bred to the occupation of a stone mason, which he followed lor several years. At the age of twenty-three, he began to increase v ery rapidly in size, and in consequence reduced his diet to vegetables and bread alone, and devoted a portion of his time to rxercirp. in the view ot" impeding his lemaikable growth, but without producing the desired effect. For the lat ten or twelve ycais lie has annually gained in weight upwards of thirty pounds. At present, his habits are very abstemious: he eats and drinks little, and takes exercise daily. In con sequence of his extreme obesity, he is compelled to sleep with his head greatly elevated; he snores loudly, and during the. night he is frequently awakened by an at tendant in his bed-room, for fear of his suffocation. He served as n private tin der General Winchester, in the memora ble battle of Frenchtown during the lale war, and wa3 among those who were ta ken pi I uisonei 8 by the Intish and march-!

The house of an innkeeper of my acquaintance was very much infested with vermin, he resorted to many different methods but could not destroy them; at length he tho't of tho effect ardent spirits had upon his two legged customers, and he resolved to make an experiment. Accordingly he prepared a pan of black strap, set it in the cellar and waited the event. The next morning he found fourteen large Rats lying helpless around the pm. It is needless to add, he pursued this device until his house was cleared of rats and mice. A farmer's corn was much annoyed by a bear, which he was not able to destroy until he thought of hum. He procured a vessel of well sweetened rum, and the next morning bruin was loo rich and hap py lo go or stand. A few have found that corn strongly saturated with rum, will take away the use of leg and wing from crows. One old farmer told me last summer that grasshoppers loved it too. Now 1 say, neither throw away nor hum ardent spirit, nor for conscience1 sako murder human beings with it but destroy grasshoppers, rats, bears and crows. Foxes 1 presume, are too cunning to drink it. A. D. N. .7 Contented Mind. There is nothing which can so fully conduce to our happiness and comfort in this "vale of tears1 as a contented mind. Should misfortune aim its poisoned arrows at your bosom, a peaceful mind will cause them to fall harmless at your feet. Should those you loved betray you, with a proper tone of mind you may smile at their enmity, and return the poisoned chalice of slander to the lips of those who crave it I f sickness has ! laid its i heavy hand upon you, contentment ! si-nation to the will of Him who! and rest" i .i i . i . r mi i i kuoweth what is best for in, will do much ,.,(,: .i...i,i. ,!..... j I 1 m uiu i vor;i in 7 ' ' in uiui unin the drugs and remedies of the physician; and should it be your lot never again to rise from the bed of anguish or of pain, what can so well bring consolation to your dying bosom us that happy state of min i, which leads you to exclaim, "father, thy will, not mine, he done."1 Phil.
