FROM Ne DTtuSepCJt CouI YET, 1eo. -.
SHOCKING AFFAIR.
Never has it been our duty to record a
more diabolic transaction than the one which
we are informed took place in the family Of
Capt. Joel Sanford, of Bridgewa,er society,
New Milford, on Wednesday morning of last
week. Itappears that soon after the family,
six in number, had taken breakfast, they
were all attacked with violent internal pains
and excessive vomiting which excited great
alarm, when physicians were called and it
was ascertained that large quantity of ar
senic had been put into the tea and coffee
kettles, from wbich they had all drank but
happily the desc was so large as to defeat
the intended object.
A lad who resided with capt. Sanford, as
an. assistant in his store, it seems had been
detected in puroining money to niHihg a
mount and who at the exposure of the fault
had manifested much Indignation. was on
strong grounds, suspected of being the per-
petrator, and taken into custody, and is now
confined in Litch6eld Jail. The culprit we
learn is lad of 10 years Of age. As late Jas
Monday the family were al! on the recove-
ry from the effect of this foul attempt on their
lives.
There is no vice or folly that requires so
much nicely and skill 10 manage, as vanity,
nor any, which by i'll management, makes SO
contemplate a figure. Huf,
