Thrilling Incident,

AS Dr. S. A. Mann, dentist, Of Woodbu-
nv, was riding through the town of Grafton,
Mass, on Friday last, he heard the terrific
screams of two females upon stone WALL
opposite good looking house. They APP
peared to be exhausted with terror, and ma
king an effort to give an alarm to some per
son or persons in distant lot. DIR. Wand
his friend left their carriage, and approach
ed the ladies. They bid him go into the
house, but without affording any explana-
ton. He was accompanied by one ofthem
who CALCULATED continually, Owe killed it,
I've killed it." He followed her into the
parlor, and there discovered an infant, about
four months old, lying upon its back, quite
black in the face, and apparently near the
end Of life. After much effort he learned
that the mother had intended to give the
child teaspoonful Of paregoric, but the sis
ter who went for it, took by mistake the
Iaudnum bottle, and the mother gave the
poisonous dose to the child. Size however
discovered her error in ten or fifteen min
utes after the drug had been given. While
DR.. Mann was examining the child, the ia
Their Mr.. Roswell Clark, alarmed by the
screams Of the women, entered the house in
breathless haste, and seeing their agony and
getting no explanation, seized DIR. nj. with
some violence. He was able TO state in a
word the cause Of the agitation, and then
asked for an emetc, bnt was told there was
, none ia the house. He next asked for vim
egar, as he recoIected reading in the papers
that vinegar was sometimes an antdote for
audnum, but to all his inquiries he was met
, by the sobs of one, and the cry Of The moth
mother, 'I'vc killed it." The father had
mounted his horse for physician, but was
assured that 10 help could come in season
; to be available, when he abandoned tho at
tempt.
y DR. W. in the mean time was obliged
! himself to search the house for vinegar
Il which he found. and administered a table
t spoonful. IN less than three minutes after
d the child exhibited signs of life, by a twitch
e of the muscles, and soon it bogan to vom
! and cry, and in less than half anhonr it was
o ont of danger. The manifestations of graf
i itude towards DIR. NJ, on the part Of the fam
! lily, were beyond all bounds and quite en-
: barraSSing. When refusing the money of
i fered him, the mother insisted upon his ia
II king gold necklace which she unclaSpeC
n from her neck, and it was with great diff
IS entity that he could escape without it, HI
y gave lis permission, for the benefit of other
o to state the remedy which he applied, tho
e he may be surprised that we have gone S.
: far into the particulars; but the account ma,
u interest others, as it certainly is to us.
~ Parents will do we'll to remember the viz
i tues of vinegar in such cases, though the
lie better not give their children audnum to
H. parcgoric. When Dr. M. returned throug
o. Grafton, he found the child well, except ;
o. ., slight bowel complaint, probably the eftec
of severe dosng.-New Haven Patriot.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A True Story,

There was an American ship called the Wash.
ington,' bound for China, filled with passengers
on board this shipwa an officer of the army and
his wife, with their only child, little boy of five
years of age, and large Newfoundland dog, call
ed sbobby.'
Bobby was great favorte with all the people
in the ship, because he was so brave, so good-tem
pered, and so funny and playful. Sailors as wei
as passengers all liked brave bobby. He would
romp on the deck with any body that chose. Some
times when the ship was going slow, he would
jump overheard and dash through tho sea after
biscuit, or any thing else that might be thrown it
for him.
But his most constant playmate was the little
boy, the son of his master. This boy was merry
little fellow, and as fond of Bobby as Bobby was
fond of him.. They used to make fine noise il
their droll games of play, rolling over. and owe
each other like couple of young porpoises. Ant
though the little boy was sometimes rather rougl
in his frolics with Bobby. and hit him on the heaC
and back, yet Bobby was always gentle as larnI
TO him. a. s'' 4"
The voyage had been very safe and pleasant un
til within three days sail of the Cape of Goo
Hope. Evening was coming on-the sun was set

had been set and the wind had risen SO that tn
ship was sailing very fast. The boy and the do
were romping together, Juggling each other, VIII
on sudden the ship gave heavy roll, and tn
child fell overheard splash into the sea.

could not be distinguished many yards distant
