NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Parson Brownlow
writes long letter claiming the election of
eight Republican Congressman out of ten in
Tennessee.
ported from all but few counties in Tennessee
give Greeley II 900 majority; Brown for Gov
ernor, $500. The Congressional delegation
Both branches Of the Legislature are Demo-
cratic.

VIRGINIA.
RICAMoND, Va, Nov. 13.-Oficial returns
from 101 counties, cities and towns, give Gree
ley $50 majority. Unofficial returns from seven
others, give Grant 2,0S8 majority. Only two
counties are unheard from. These gave Wells,
(Rep.) for Governor in 1869, $50 majority.
Grants majority in the State will be about two
thousand. There is probability of the election
of Davis Dem. in the fifth Congressional dis
trict. 1t is contested by Thomas (Rep.) on the
ground that a number of votes were thrown out
in Halifax county by the canvassers for alleged
informality.

FATAL MEDICAL BLUNDER.


Remarkable Case OF Poisoning-A
Patient Takes n Dose OF Medicine and
Dies, and Two Doctors share HIS Fate,
in Attempting to show the Medicine
Was Not Poisoned.
ST. LOUIS, June "a, 1872.
letter from Hermitage, NO., gives an account OF
n terrible case OF poisoning which occurred in the
town of wheatland on Wednesday last. 1t appears
that q young man, named Moore, applied to the
county physician for a prescription for some medi-
cine to cure ague, aud, as he objected to taking
quinine the doctor prescribed dose OF bitters com
pounded of Peruvian bark, dog weed and whiskeyt
Young Moore took dose Of the bitters and started
for his home which he was barely able to reach and
soon afterward died.
Doctors Red1eld and Barnes, who had been sum-
moned by Mrs. Moore TO attend her son. In order to
relieve the mothers fears that the young man had
been poisoned, each swallowed some OF the bittera
and soon afterwards started for their homes bnt
had proceeded q short distance only when Dr.
Barnes was taken violently Ill and was compelled
to dism0unt from his horse, and was just able To
drag himself home and died during the night.
DR.. Redheld, feeling premonitory symptoms os
poisoning, spurred his horse to his utmost speed
and just reached his house and fell insensbe at thu
door. He carried inside and died within fifteen
minutes.
The matter had not been investigated when the
letter was written, therefore IL Is not known
whether the doctor who prepared the bitters made
a mistake or whether the druggist rom whom ne
purchased the medicine committed o blunder.

The coroner's jury in the of the late railroad
