about eight years of age, the daughter Of Mrs
Mary Gowan residing near Poplar Lawn, died yes
terdsy morning, from the poisonous effects OF Il
spider bite, received upon the arm few days ago
Almost Immediately after receiving the bite from

few hours it was swollen to sach an extent, aud
was so painful that she was thrown into spasms
from which she never recovered, though ever,
known remedy was applied, and the best medca,
skill obtained. The spider was supposed to have
been of the larger species, generally found be
meath decayed wood, feom the fact that the child
was playing about pile of old lumber in the
yard at the time she was stung, upon which seve-
raj Of those poisonous insects have been seen
