A yours killed by chloroform.

--Jas. L. Houston, a youth about sixteen years of age, engaged in business in Tallahassee, Fla., was found dead in his room on Thursday morning last, with a phial of chloroform in his hand his death being evidently in consequence of his having inhaled too much of the fatal dose. He had been suffering with toothache, and was using the chloroform to relieve the pain.
