ANNAPOLIS, March 21.

We hear from Dorchester County, that one Matthew Viccars was lately found dead in the Woods, with Rum by his Head, 'tis supposed he had drank an over Quantity, which put a Period to his Life. The many fatal Consequences attending an imprudent Use of spirituous Liquors, ought to be a Caution to every Person carefully to avoid drinking to Excess, too often to the Prejudice of a Family, always injurious to Health: and let Mens Constitutions be ever so good, yet Experience may convince them how many by Degrees daily fall Martyrs to an ungoverned Appetite.
