friend of ours received a letter from his brother
yesterday, who resides in the parish of Sabine. 1t is

of its being unauhentic, might well say that
the letter came TO Mr.. Stile, Clerk of the House of
Representatives, and was written by his brother. But
to the extract
'Therc has been one of the most unexampled acts
Of poisoning committed in Shelby county, Texas that
have ever heard OF.
'There was a wedding at old Mr.. Wilkinson's of
an orphan girl he raised, at which all the invited
guests poisoned, including the bridesmaid and
groom man. Out Of sixty persons poisoned, thirty,
DR.. Sharp says, will certainly die Ten or twelve are
already dead, including of DIR. Britton, two
Castlebury's-the one a young man and the other a
young woman-one of the Slaughters and his wife.
Strange to tell, none of the family was injured
nor yet the bride and groom; yet one of the brides
maids died in the house.
"Old Wilkinson has abscondcd. This portion OF
Texas is in arms and woe-betide the guilty, What
write you is the fact without exaggeration.
1t Is supposed that the negroes were hired to ad-
minister the poison in the coffee, food by dsap-
pointed suitor,' who was present at the wedding
