A STRANGE CASE OF Po1soNING.-Th
Warren CIR. ID Telegraph publishes the fol-
lowing "a family residing in South Gard
ner, Mass, were recently poisoned by eating
meat after it had been stung by wasp. The
particulars are as follows; the lady having
boiled piece Of corned beet, placed it in the
window to cool. 1t had been there but few
moments when she observed a wasp had
lighted on the meat, and was making every
exertion to escape, but i'll vain the meat be-
ing so hot as to burn its feet and legs. so that
it soon died, She thought nothing more of
the event, however, until two or three days
afterwards, when her family, Consisting of
herself, husband, and three daughters after
having brsakfasted off the meat, were taken
with violent vomiting, the sickness lasting
one hour and half, with the exception of
one OF the young ladies, who partook Of the
meat sparlngly, causing slight nausea. The
sickness was so very peculiar, it reminded her
OF the wasp, and she thinks when the meat
burnt him, he must have stung it by way Of
revenge, and thus impaired sufficient poison
to occasion the sickness"
