A WHOLE FAMILY PoIsoNED.-We learn
that the son OF Mr.. Whittier, residing in the
lower part OF the city, returned from q sea
voyage last Tuesday, bringing with him
quantity of arsenic which he carelessly left
ihe table while the family OF seven parsons
went away 10 spend the afternoon. During
N cir absence the package was opened and its
contents placed in the water pail, from which
the W hole family drank plentifuliy upon their
return. In the course of the night they were
seized with violent purging and vomiting and
IL edical assistance was promptly summoned.
After some anxious hours the sufferers were
pronounced out Of danger. although several OF
them have not yet been able o fully resume
Their daily ayocatIons. Neither the name nor
the purpose OF the perpetrator of this deed are
apparent, bit investigations are in progress
which II IS hoped may throw more light upon
the cruel mystery.-Bdagor Wig
