He accordingly one morning last week took the sefeds of thrde capsules o r apples, bruised thehi and put them into about.a third of a tumbler of ru m, and added as much water. Half an hour after, he drank about half a wine glass full of thd liquid, and not perceiv ing any taste but that o f the runf, he im mediately took as much more. In a few minutes he became dizzy, and before he could reach his boarding house, he w>as perfectly delirious.

But, alas ! the igndrance and conceitedness of (Quacks. The boy continued to grow worse until Friday morning when a physician of skill and science passing, was called in. He examined the state of the wound, and ga ve it as Itis opinion, that the only means of saving the boy’s life was the amputa tion' of h k leg. The quack scoffed at the- *i4ea of amputation, said you might as W*ell cut his throat, &,c, Ignorance and ■Tolly in this case as well as many others, triumphed over knowedge and wisdom^ and the prescriptions of this empiric were followed- On S.ibbath morning the boy died. . His leg was swollen as large as a common sized man’s body. It was open ed by the physician who advised the am putation ; a spoonful of powder was ta ken from the wound, and it was found that the wad had entered, struck the bone, glanced and passed upward along the bone about four inches.
