A Child Killed by Intoxication
By Editor
A boy eleven years of age died from intoxication in New York on May 26th. He was employed in an office on Washington Street, and drank a quantity of whiskey given him by a man in the office. He became completely inebriated, and in his stupor fell from a window into a paved yard. It is satisfactory to learn that the coroner ordered the arrest of the man who gave the boy the spirits which caused his death. It is to be feared that there are also many persons having the control of children who are contributing to their moral and physical death by giving them small quantities of intoxicating liquor. Children acquire very easily an appetite for strong drink, and those who encourage such a propensity incur an appalling responsibility.
