NARROW ESCAPE OF THE PRESIDENT
ELECT FROM A VIOLENT DEATH.
(From the Lancaster Expressly

From the Lancaster EapIessJ
About the time MIR. Buchanan returned
from his late visit 10 Washington, we heard
whispers OF u singular and mysterious nature
in regard to his illness and sudden ietuln
home. In prosecuting our inquiries we aser-
tainad that Mr.. fumes Porter of this city
came home from Washington with Mr.. Blu
chanan, also sick, and was obliged to take bis
bed, where he has been ever since.
AT the same time we were satisfied oil the
truth Of the statements which We give below,
but as extraordinary efforts were nlpdte dt, h"r- i,
a, a. W,eLi,... .ouIItuLlODS Ol lTlenuS,
hid Withheld the facts in our possesslou.-
AS they are coming out through other chan
nels, it is due to our readers to give them u
history OF this extraordinary case of u narrow
escape from Wholesale poisoning.
When Mr.. Buchanan went to Washington
he put up at the National House, where j
Clancy Jones, John l.. Dawson, and others
were stopping. 1t appears this hotel has
been terribly infested with rats Of late, and
one OF the boarderS (as the story goes con-
ceved the idea that they ought to be disposed
OF eiiectually before the day Of inauguration.
Accordingly, he procured extra large doses
of arsenic which he disposed Of in the most
tempting manner about the house. The rats
ate the poison. 1t is we'll known that when
rats partake arsenic they put directly for wa
ter There is large tank Of water in the
upper part Of the hotel referred to, and into
this the host of rats plunged, drank, kursted,
and died. From tins tank the house is sup
pied with water for drinking and cooking
purposes.
Twenty or thirty of the guests we're sud-
denly and some Of them severely affected,
from the nse water thus mpreguated with the
poison. Mr.. Buchanan lett suddenly for
Wheatand, where he arrived suffering Sc
yerely from darrh9a. lie was however less
severity affected than the Others, and in ID
short time recovered sufficiently 10 receive
visitors, but the fatigue incident to entuin-
ing two or three hundred persons, made II
absolutely necessary for him to husband his
strength by refusing to see any but his most

ture this morning.
Mr.. Jones, OF Berks, was more severely
Affected, and has been lying in n critical con-
dition ever since, and doubt about his re.
covery has left his appointment 10 II place in
the Cabinet an open question up to the pres
ent time.
Among the others most severely affected
was Hon. John l.. Dawson, and 1t WAS ru-
mored this morning that he has since died
Ibis report, however, needs confirmation
Mr. Porter, OF this city, was also severely
Affected, and though confined 10 his room ever
since, we believe he is out OF danger.
