ACCIDENTAL PoIsoNfSG.-From the last issue OF
| the Algiers Newsboy we extract the following:
| " Last Saturday evening, the 2sth inst, the
family of Mrs. Mccarthy were unfortunately poi
soned through mistake. Mrs. Mccarthy Is the
widow Of the editor Of the Limerick Examiner
who was compelled to leave Ireland on account OF
participating in the struggles for liberty, out only
| survived about six months after reaching this
place. The members of her family who partook
of the poison were her eldest son, chas, McCar
thy, aged %, who is universally respected and be
loved her second son. Edward, aged IL, and
daughter, Maria, aged about l6. A year or twt
ago Mrs. Mccarthy had purchased some arseni'
which was used for poisoning rats and III thef lat
removal the package found its way INTO easRe
of other household articles, in which also was
paper of -four. The young lady was making bis
cults for tea, and found that she needed more fiou
for rolling them out, and on searching ABOUT foun
another paper containing -four, as she supposed
but to be certain that it was consulted her mothe
and brother Charles. He tasted, and pronounced
it -four, though thinking it rather fat. The mothe
had forgotten that she had ever used arsenc IN IN
house.
"Mr. Uncas Lewis had called, and when tea wa
ready he was urged to stay hut just as they wer
I seated, Mr.. Mccarthy was called out to receive
letter, but not before he had partaken OF half
biscuit. The younger brother partook more frcel,
as did also the young lady; but, owing to
sprghty conversation, Mr.. Lewis did not eat
the biscuit at all. Edward soon showed such viz
lent symptoms of illness, that they knew they a
had taken poison in something, and it at once o
CURED to the mother that there was arsenic in Il
house, and that it had been put into the biscuit
DR.. Hooke was at once sent for, and applied Il
usual remedies with such skill and promptness th
It the sufferers were soon relieved from immedia
danger, though very much prostrated.
We are happy to state that they are out. out !
not having taken so much as his brother and sste
$ was not so much Frustrated. Mrs. Mccarthy an
, Mr.. Lewis were fortunate in not partaking Of tn
biscuits at all. The younger children were playn
in the yard and escaped altogether.
