Shocking Fatality.
Three Paupers Poisoned

1"ee L uuDeFS OlSOned.
"A dreadful case of accidental poisoning,
resulting in the death of three paupers, in.
mates of the City Poor House, Pittsburg, \
occurred on Monday forenoon. About four
years ago, DR.. Williams, then employed in
the institution, mixed up a poison for the
destruction Of vermin upon the persons of
paupers previous to admitting them to the
room. The poison consisted of Coculus L,di-
caS, added to ten gallons of alcohol, which
was placed Id keg, and always kept locked
up IN the store room. Comparatively large
quantities OF this mlxtule were used, and the
supply was almost exhausted On Monday,
the females IN the institution were engaged
IN cleaning the store room, and they removed
the Keg from It's accustomed place About
eleven clock, man named Patrick Mulliu,
who had been sent to the poor house on the
10th OF July, approached the keg, and re-
marked that he smelt whiskey. He was a
hard drinker and very much diseased in con-
sequence of intemperance. Although none
OF those then present knew what the keg con-
| tanned, still be was told by some one that
there was no whiskey there. He replied that
they could not fool him, he was goiEg to have
drink. He took the keg and poured from
the bung hole into the palm of his hand. a
| portion Of the mixture Several of the poi
sonous berries fell into his hand, and he put
| all together into his mouth, saying that it was
! cherry bounce. CThe berries are about the
size of wild cherries.) When he had swal-
lowed the fatal dose, he urged others to par
| take
A ladle was then procured, and two ole
men, named Robert Cuthbert aud Owen O..
Brien, aged respectively, between sixty anc
seventy years, both took what might be called
'pretty stiff horns" Martin Welsh nex
took mouthful, but as soon as he got taste
of the stuff, he spirited it from his mouth, and
declared they could not fool him, But
short time elapsed, when the truth became
known, and the three men who had partaken
of the poison began suffer from its effects
DR.. Smyser, who resides upon the adjoining
farm, Immediately summoned, but hi
services were of no avail-the whole thre
died in convulsions in less than an hour
| Coroner Alexander was summoned, and il
company with George Fortune, Esq pro
cceded to the aims house. The scene which
there presented itself was truly horrible. Z
jury was summoned, and after examining fv
or six witnesses, the inquest decided that th
parties had died from the effects Of poison
taken by accident. 4 fearful commentar
upon the thirst for Intoxicating drink!

The Railroad Companies with whom the

attention Of the Postmaster General when he
returns to Washington. 1t is caused partly
by an insuficiency of the means of transpor-

tween the unfinished railroads from Good

A MEDICAL MURDER. physician in Bos-

A MEDICAL MURDER. A physician in Bos-
ton, gave prescription for an apathecary to
prepare for sick child. The prescription
was SO illegibly written, that that the apoth-
ecary had to guess at the words, and SO put
up a dose that killed the child 1t is bad
enoug h to steal peoples time by compelling
them to read illegible manuscript upon ordi-
nary business, but when life hangs upon cor
rect Interpretation of the writing, physician
who writes illegibly is morally guilty of a
murder, when accident results from his care
lessness. An apothecary should never take
the responsibility of supposing he has correctly
decyphered bad writing. He should invari-
ably send the prescription back to be written
plainly and intelIigibly. This would show
patients what a careless physician they have.
and that they are more likely to be killed than
cured by his prescriptions. A dismissal in
such cases would soon induce the required
carefuluess.

whose hair had become very thin and entirely
white, and before exhausting one Of your large
bottles her hair was restcr ed nearly TO its origi
nrl beautiful brown color, and had thickened and
become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely
the head; she continues to use it, not slmp-
ly because of its beautyng effects upon the hair,
but because Of its heathfUl influence upon the
head and mind. Others OF my family and friends
using your Restorative, with the Eappiest ell
! fects therefore, my SkeptiCism and doubts III
reference 10 its character and value are entirely
! removed and I car and do most cordially and
| and confdentaly recommend its use by all who
would have their hair restored from white or gray

and beanty, and by all young persons who
would have their hair beautiful and glossy.
