CADY'S FALLS,

Last Thursday, VIII Town came near
being the victim of narcotic poison. The
Monday before he was taken i'll with
violent pains, which indicated intlamna-
ton of the bowels. The usual remedy,
morphine, was resorted to, which was ap-
piled in the more modern way, by injec-
ton. This mode of treatment was kept
up until Thursday morning, when he
went into deep sleep, a stupor akin to
death, and showed all the symptoms of a
speedy dissolution. Drs. Hall, Rublee
and Randall, were hastily summoned, and
the trio exerted themselves through the
day and used the best medical remedies
known, the most powerful antidotes to
counteract the poison. He remained In
this coma condition twelve hours, and
contrary to nearly all hope or expectation
that he would ever revive, he finally
awoEe from his death-like sleep, and has
since been partially conscious. He now
remains in a very critical condition, at
times delirious. bnt strong liopss are ell
teitained that he will fully recover from
the effects of the deadly drug. One thing
strongly in his favor is, he is young
man Of excellent physique, was strong il
health and temperate in habits.
