AT LEEDS —Yesterday. a boy named William Darby,
in the employment of Mr. Ckwallsall, printer, Woodhouse-
lane, narrowly assumed being poisoned eirough the cere-
leasness of a druggist's &militant. It appears that yesterday
morning he went to the shop of Mr. Rushworth, druggist,
which is directly opposite hie master's premises, and asked
for some cough lozeugea. After returning he ate several of
the lozenges, and feeling himself unwell he went hack to
the shop, when it was found that the :militant had by mis-
take given him calomel lozenges, and that he was
suffering from the poisonous effects produced. He was at
once taken to the infirmary, where the stomach pump sail
other remedial measures were tried, and after a time he
reified. Lest night he was doing well, but it will be tome
da before he is fully recovered. Lea da
