On Wednesday last, says the Si7cer
state, Rev. A. F. White. our efficient
and energetic State Mineralogist, came
near closing his studies of'the pre-
plioeene periods and settling up his ac-
counts with earthly things. He was
coming over the high mountains from
Alpha to Unionville afoot and alone.
The day was oppressively warm, and
long before reaching the summit of
the mountain, Mr.. White found him
self suffering greatly from thirst, and,
coming upon a clump of elder bushes
covered with berries. he first tasted
and then partook Of them freely
Judging from the peculiarly sour acid
of the berry that it was harmless.
Soon, however, he found himself grow
ing sick and faint, and commenced
vomiting freely. 4 thunder storm
and heavy shower Of rain swept along
the mountain, from which he took re-
fuge under n cliff of rock Here he
grew weak aud deatlly sick. while his
thirst increased to a painful degree.
After two hours Of great suffering, he
emerged from his shelter ut the close
of the storm to find himself 80 weak rs
TO be able to walk but u few steps at 4
time. Finding rain water standing III
little pools among the rocks. he drank
OF Il : but it was no uSe-it was ilHe
mourning water into Il suction pump
and then working il. .After several
hours OF intense suffering and an en-
haustiug struggle he reached town,
after dark, and found relief. lie Is
going to have the elderberry analysed
before again using it rs a substitute for
water. Yesterday morning lie was
out again, attending to business as

having tried his powers OF endurance
with a poison berry.
