Friday, July 12, 1872—Two gentle- men awoke Wednesday night with the cheering reflection that they had been voisoned., Subsequent events proved their belief and only energetic measures saved them. The most perplexing mys- tery is ‘how the poison could have been administered, as they had eaten nothing that evening but eight or ten soft orabs, some pickled clams, three lobsters, a little ice cream, half & water melon and some more pickled clams. They think that the vinegar in which.the clams were pickled had been kept in a copper kettle and so be- came poisoned.

The happy days when a man could get half a hay cart of crabs in less than an hour has gone for good and all. A book agent called at a local store and tried to sell his wares.
