Poisoned FLouR.-We heard yester,
day Of u rather curious case Of poison
ing, which came very near resulting in
the death Of two estimable ladies Of Cam
bridge, Ohio. Mr.. W. II. Barton, Cam
bridge grocer, purchased a quantity o.
floor from mill at Massillon, Ohio, and
sold a portion Of 1t to two maiden ladies
who reside together in that town. The
ladies', after eating bread made Of the
tlour, were suddenly taken seriously i'll
and upon examination the flour was
found to contain large quantities oil
tartar-emetic. 1t is supposed that some
miscreant secretly put the poison in the
flour at the mills, in order to injure theil
reputation.
