The question was satisfactorily answered thus - «I plays High-Low-Jack wida party dat don’t i] onderstand the game like 1 does.”—Charleston Ne Ox A gentleman of this city, his & his children, were quite seri- poisoned last week from eating par- tridgon The bird had undoubtedly fed upon laurel berries, which, though harmless to the bird. made portions of its flesh poisonous; tor while tbose who ate of its legs suffered, those wating its breast experienced no unpleasant consequences.
