Oil his declining to ( accede to her proposal, she poured ' a quantity of nitric acid, which she had previously obtained, into a cup, but ho would not:do it, when, en raged by bis refusal, she dashed ihe acid in his face, burning him frightfully.

Dr. Heartwell was immediately sent for, and on his arrival did every thing that medical skill could do to alleviate the suffering.
