A laboring man, named William Hawkins, of Willington street, Griffintown, died on Sunday evening last from the effect of a sting received on the cheek, from some venomous insect, on the previous Thursday. Before medical advice was resorted to, breathing was obstructed; and the swelling had extended over the greater portion of the body. He expired in a most dreadful state of agony, and has left a wife and six young children.—What species of insect he was stung by we could not ascertain, but he described it as having been very small.
