Death op Jeremiah McLaughlin, Esq.— It becomes our painful duiy to record on-other death from the inordinate use of intoxicating drink, Jeremiah McLaughlin, tho subject of this notice, who walknd our streets, as it were but yesterday, is no more, ho has finished at on untimely hour, the errand of his life, and is now only accountable to tho Great Judgo for tho manner in which he has used the brilliant talents so lavishly bestowed upon him. The decoosed while ascending tbe interior stops of Wat-son’s hotel in a stato of inebriety, fell over tbe banisters and in his descent fractured his scull, while he was retiring to rest. He was e young man of great usefulness and will be missed by thoso In whose employ he has boon for ihe paai two or three years.An oaaaperoiod populace visited our groceries and other resorts for the retail of spirituous liquors, and either exacted a promise of dlscontinuance'or roiled out tho .barrels Arc., and emptied them in the street. We predicted two weeks since that the indiscro-tion of retailers would bring them to a dead stand by their own actions, in furnishing some of our most respectable citizens with the poison draught which has proved tho bane of our friend Jerry’s untimely career.An immenso concourse of our citizens, who knew him not, amjjjjiod his remains to their last resting place and testified their respect and grief lor one who deserved their regard and who will livo In their momory while recollection serves Its purpose.—New lA*bon Palladium.
