the legendary posonings Of the Borgas in the shade
Yesterday afternoon, between the hours Of two and
four couple of boys apparently from IA to years Of

enges upon the side walk about the size of peppermint
drops In another part of the street. rather robust look
ing man, dycssed in black coat white pants and white
hat, with box under his arm also observed occ-
sonally distributing similar description of ozenge only
in larger quantities.
AS is usual in German localities, quite number of
children playing upon the street and they greedy
seized the tempting candies thus gatuitousy thrown in
their way. Occasionally the man would give package
to persons he met but in these instances the parties de-
cined tasting sspectng something wrong Not So how
ever with the unsuspecting children who greedy de-
voured the to them-danty waits and in short time
afterwards they taken with violent vomiting The
neighborhood became speedily alarmed, and DIS. Smith,

O'Clock in the evening. We present when the coro
ncr held his inquest and melancholy sight it has
hardly been our lot to witness The mother of the dead
child had few days previous been confined and in the
her eldest born lay stiff and rigid corpse
while the born infant sought in vain for nourishment
from the maternal breast the fount of which sudden grief
and agony had dried Her two other children had also
paraken of the poisoned drops and lay sick in the same
room, but they were pronounced out OF danger
Immediately upon the other side of the street another
promising child, named Henry Schwartz about eleven
O'Clock last night said to have breathed its last and
at the time visited the poisoned district some four or
five other children male and female, supposed to be
in a very critical condition. We heard alsp that several
similar cases had occurred Fifteenth, between Race and
Elm Streets but unable to CLEAN particulars.
