prisoner, who repeatedly urged him to fire

The boy refused for a time, but one night
the prisoner and he were together, and the

, An. Ap.——Mi'. Soberrnind, you say you
have once been acquainted with my client,
have-once associated with my client, Mr Al-
cohnl,and that you was much attached to his
society; did he not on all occasions conduct
himself likea peat-eable and orderly citizen.
and did you ever see him engagetl in anyti-
otsor broils, disturbing the public peace?
VVit.—-ldid not say, sir, that he was riot-
ous Oi’ disorderly himself, but that it was al-
most his universal practice to cause others to
be so : and I did not say either that his inan-
ners and appearances were not insinuating,
and calculated to please the fancy. for lierci‘n
I conceive. his great art lies, and becz use he
is so pleasant and agreeable, and under a
smiling face can hide it venomous heart, he
is much the tnore dangerous. Had he come
to me in a l‘OUgl1 and boisterous manner, I
should never have associated with him. I
never knew him to appcartoany one in his
real character, but always in disguise or with
a promise of something he was never able to
perform.
An Ap.-—-\Veli, sir, you say that you and
my client have once had a serious disagree-
ment. Has the difliculty ever been settled?
Wit.——[t was nodisagreement, sir, for we
had no Words or blows. lsaw that his com-
pany would never do for me, and so I
left it. He never so touch as asked me
the rea.=.on; neither did I ever tell him.
An. Ap.—You reniarked that hi». had
lost most of your property for you at cards;
had you no hard words about ih.-it?
Wit ——Not any, sir. By my own folly
I put myself into his power, and wlii-n
I saw what was done,-] merely deiuimi-
tied to leave him, and grow wiser by the
past.
An. Ap——iVell, sir, you said that you
had known the peace of many families
destroyvd by my client; what reason have
you for charging family broils and’ con-
tentions upon liiiil?‘
Wit.-~'l‘lie very best of reasons, sir; for
before he came among them all was peace
but so soon as he was admittnd, discord
prevailed. And then I have seen the-
same families, which were ever at vari-
ance wlicn be was present, live harmoni-
ously as soon as he was rxpr-llr_-rl. And,
sir, I speak experimentally upon this sub-
ject; for till I nssncii-tr-d with the prison-
er, I iiever knew what it was to be ang-
ry with any cf mv f.-iu'iiiy:' but wlien that
acquaintance was formed. we liardlv knew
wliat peace was; I was alw-.i is (liscout+-n-
ted, unhappy, per-vish and fretful; e"ver_v-
thing went tvronz, siuiply, becaiise I was
wrong inyself. As soon as I left associa-
ting with the prisoner. I lost those feel-
ings, my natural clieerlulness returnrd. and
now no man lives more pleasantly with his
liillllly than tityself.
An Ap.-Did not my client ever repay-
'or cniiipensate you for a part or all the prop-
erty you say he lost for you?
“fit ——Ntil :1 cent, sir, not a, cent,
An. A_n.—Yoti can sit down, sir.

Att. Gt-n.——Dr. Ilhuliarb are you acquain-
ted with the prisoner at the bar?
VVIt.—-l am, sir; I have known‘ him well
for fifteen or twenty years, perhaps more,
Alt. Gen.-+-Well, sir ,1 please tell the court
what you kiiow of his course of life.

Alt. Gen —-Do you ctinsirlw him as pos-

Wit.--No, sir; I do not think he ever
cured in single individual; while I am sure
he has killed thousands and hunreds ofthou-
sands. It is my serious and solemn opinion,
that nineteen tu entit-.il,s of the
which afflict mankind, are firct caused or
greatly aggravated by the different iiostru‘ms
and prosciiptions, which he assists in com-
pounding.

Mr. H.
IJEAI1 Sin:-——ln answer to yoU_t‘ inquirirs,
I have to say that the “ l‘vI‘dl‘.'lC Law” does
not forbid the mauuf-icture of cider. It is
not intoxicatiiig when manufactured. olt
may be freely sold when ticw——.tnd :tftet'-
wards kept for vinegar. The manufacture.
goes on in this State as ever-——but after it
becomes in:oxEcating, it cannot be sold, ex-
cept by city or town agents. Pcl‘hnps you
may publish this iiiforioatioii to the world to
put the “cider qucstioii” as you call it, to
rest. 1
