John and George Britain were at Chick Huffman's bar room, last Mon day, and bought whiskey from Will Murphy, Huffman's clerk, as long as their money lasted; but it gave out before they became satisfied, or be fore they got drunk enough, and Murphy refused to credit them. They became enraged and swore they would have whiskey, money or no money. They tore down the chimney and enough of the house to foive an entrance.

The coroner kindly furnishes us with the testimony in the Frank Brannan case, but as it is all about buying and drinking liquor, and of a demoralizing nature generally, we considered it too unhealthy reading for our columns.
