week the family of Mr. Splatt, of Bridgewater, was thrown
into the greatest state of alarm from the following circum-
stance:—Having purchased a quantity of mushrooms, they
partook of them for supper ; but had cot long retired to
rest, before they were all seized with a violent degree of
sickness, and a swelling of the body. Medical assistance
was immediately procured, and we are happy to state, that
the prompt administration of necessary drugs ultimately
relieved them, and they arc consequenfiy now out of •lar-
ger. Too much caution cannot be used its the purchase of
this description of plant for domestic purposes. as •-ti hale
difference sometimes exists between it and what is vulgarly
termed a toad-stool, the latter of which is well knobs u

moderate degree, prove fend.

cidethal death- was returned.
