DIED.

  On Monday last, Tom, a coloured man belonging to Alexander McConnell, 
Eqs., of this place. His death was produced by a wound in the foot 
occasioned by a Nail he had tramped upon, which brought on the Lock-
Jaw, and terminated his existence. This, with a number of similar cases 
which frequently occur, ought to excite persons who receive injury from 
rusted Nails etc. to attend to keeping the wound open, and apply 
powerful Medicine to it. Lye poultices are deemed beneficial in cases 
of this kind.
