a CASE OF LEAD PoIsoNING-DEATH OF
ONE OF THE VIcTrMs.-Recent investigation
proves that the death Of VIM. ii. Young .oi
Wardsboro, which occurred January last,
was caused by the use of vinegar lnpregna-
ted with the acetate Of lead. Mr.. Young
was in poor health for some months pre-
vious to his decease, and other members OF
the family have at times. and more particu-
larry of late, manifested serious symptoms,
which were vaguely suspected to be the re-
suit OF lead poison. A short time since.
DR.. {. A Gray, OF Brattleboro, was called
to visit one of the members Of the family, 4
child, whose symptoms, identical with those
of Mr.. Young, he regarded rs unmistaka-
bly, produced by lead poison. Samples OF
the water and vinegar in use by the family
were taken to Brattleboro and tested, when
the vinegar was found to yield precipi-
tate of lead. On examination it was ascer-
tanned that the cask in which the vinegar
was kept was coated with the poison. The
cask, which was procured from enc OF the
Wardsboro merchants two or three years
ago, was used for keeping cider and vine
gar. 1t is supposed to have formerly con-
tanned paint or white lead, and though
cleansed in the usual manner, still contain
ed enough of the lead for the acid Of the
vinegar to work upon, producing that dead
" poison known as the acetate of sugar OF
lead. At the time of the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Young was also very low from
the same cause, having nearly lost the use
of her limbs, and all the members of the
family have been more or less the victims Of
this dreadful malady We are informed
however, that all are now in fair way fol

crowded the minister against the car-door,

not calculated on any interference, and were
sadly disappointed when Mr.. Aaron exercised
his science on them with startling results
Mr.. jackson received slight testimonial of
Mr.. Aaron's esteem in the jaw, which
tumbled him over the dashboard into the

siStance, but to no purpose. Mr.. Aaron
took the watch, which had been!wrung from
