From the neighborhood Of Whitemel,
in this county, we get the particulars Of
most distressing occurrence which
took place or Thursday last, Aug. 23.
The family Of Mr.. Wesley Powell, a
wife and two children, were taken sick,
and DIR. II. s. Belt, the family physician,
called to see them. The Doctor left
prescription which was taken TO the
store Of Mr.. A. G. Pritchett, at White
mel, where, besides general merchan-
disc, few family medicines are kept
for sale. Either Mr.. Pritchett, or
salesman filed the prescription, giving
morphia instead of quinine, which the
prescription called for. Mr.. Powell
carried the medicine home and admin
istered il to all three Of the patients,
soon after which both the children were
seized with commissions and died before
a physician could be summoned. Mrs.
Powell was also seriously affected, and
but for the aid Of a stomach-pump,
would have certainly died. Mr.. Pritch-
EFT, who sold the medicine, is an intelli-
gent and worthy citizen, and man Of
wealth and influence in the community.

take more than he does.-Danriile ( "a

The New York Worlds correspondent
at Fort Walsh, British Columbia, has
the following about Sitting-Bull: In
conversation, after dinner, with one Of
the police-officers the other day, he
said Sitting-Bull was native Of Fort
Garry, and an alumnus of st. Johns
College. These statements Sitting
Bull himself afterwards confirmed.
Several old traders who have had a look
at him declare they remember him well
as Charlie Jacobs, a half-brced who at
tended the college in its infancy, thirty
years ago. This young Jacobs was an
Objibway, and was remarkably in
telligent lad, with ambition to become
q big Injun." He disappeared from
Fort Garry about 1853. When asked
by a police-officer If he recollccted any
thing about Fort Garry, Sitting Bull
laughed heartily, and said he knew the
principal people there--among Others,
Donald A. Smith, Hudson Bay factor
James Sutherland, and Father Vary,
now missionary at the Sault. lie was
also well acquainted with the late James
Ross, Chief-Justice of the Riel-L epine
Government in 1S6g-'7O. Indeed, he
says they were boys together. Ross
was half-brecd who, after graduating
at st. Johns College, went to Toronto
University, where he was gold mcdalist.
Sitting-Bull says his father, Henry
Jacobs, was AZ one time employed as an
interpreter BY Father Prouix on Man
itoulin Island, but whether the old
gentleman Is dead or not he does not
know. Sitting-Bull is thoroughly famil-
lar with French and English and several
Indian languages. Hcis about AZ or i3
years Of age, medium-sized, athletic
built man, Of no distinguished traits
beyond those always found in a half
breed. lie Is an excellent conversation
alist, and will talk on every subject but
his plans for the future.
