Great excitement prevails in Fayette-
vile, in the town of Manlius, 0nondago
county, New York, over the supposed
poisoning of more than forty persons in
that village during the present week.
Reports were in circulation that the
cholera had broken out there, but, upon
investigation, the cause Of the Wholesale
sickness was traced TO some cheese sold
BY merchant in the village, and made
at private mandatory at or near
Kirkville, in the same town. The mer-
chant himselfi is among the number sick.
The deaths resulting from this wholesale
poisoning already number two, while sew
eral others are not expected TO survive
the day. Mrs. Scollard died on Thursday
morning, and another, whose name is not
known, died Thursday night Seven
persons in the Scollard family are sick.
