A young married lady, living in Ripley
township, retired to bed one night last week
with her babe. To quiet it she had placed
in its mouth a sugar teat" During the
night she dreamed it was swallowing it and
choking, and that she tried to grasp it with
her fingers but could not. She then tried,
as she supposed, to grasp it with her teeth,
when the screams of the child awakened her.
She found its face all bloody, and that its
nose was almost bitten through at the point.
Medical aid was procured, and the child
rendered comfortable, but the mother was
almost inconsolable at the accident.
POIsoN-SINsULAR oAsE.-Some weeks ago
q singular poisoning case occurred, on the
borders of Fitchville township. It appears
that a lady from New London, was visiting
at her sisters, and that at they had a
qusntity of fried onions, of which the two
ladies and servant girl psrtook, the servant
girl eating of them the most heartily. They
were all taken sick, with similar symptoms,
and after some time the servant girl died,
then the sister who had been visiting. The
other sister is recovering, but is still poorly.
The only solution Of the mystery that can be
given is that the onion tops were eaten off
down to the bulb, by the Colorado bug,
which ravaged the potato fields in that vicini-
ty in the summer, and that the onions con-
tanned some of the poison of the virulent little
insects. The symptoms of the disease re-
sembled those of typhoid fever, and for
time it was so styled.
