If he were President, however, he snys he
would first stop the Mekicsb war, and ak par

lady of seventy, was a victim also. AHeii Ha
ley lost a negro man the man's wife wae oce
of the servanta at the wedding, and took him a
piece of the jtonnd cake; he ate two moutba'
full, and, not liking the tsVie of it, ate no n.f'3
yet that killed him. An old lady, ty the
name of Enrfens, made the cakes, tnd ahe waa
poisoned, together with her eon tnd a negrb
