PoIsoN1sG CAsE IN SSHARoS.--Considera
BILE excitement prevails in Sharon occasioned
by case Of poisoning, from which has al
ready resulted one death, while suother VIC
tim is still in a critical condition. As the
particulars come to US they are substantially
as follows;
About ons year ago Mr.. Henry Ferguson,
Of Sharon, took into his family,-which con-
sisted Of himself, wife. and son about seven
teen years old, from the Straford poor house
a girl about sixteen years Of age, who proved
anything but an amiable lass. Latterly the
girl, for reasons which do not yet appear, has
been particularly ugly, and al times has
threatened to burn the buildings or poison
the family. a week ago last Sunday she ac-
tually set FIRE to the buildings, but the fire
was discovered in season to be exunguished
before IL had got much headway SO matters
stood until Friday evening after tea, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson we're both taken vio-
/ leutiy sick and had all the appearances OF
suffering from poison. Mr.. Ferguson died
on Saturday, when the girl was arrested. and
comics ,ed to putting poison IN the tea, but
says the boy obtained It for her. This he
stoutly denie-. At last accounts Mrs. Fergu-
son was quite sick but hopes are entertained
Of he: recovery
States A attorney Marsh will probably have
preliminary triai in the case on Monday
