A Fatal Dose.

We condense from the Meadvile
Nears the following particulars OF sad
affair occurring at Woodcockboro ::
I,egrand Swift, a farmer living In
Woodcock twp, a little over three miles
east of Woodcockboro, was i'll. Fri
dav afternoon Mr.. Swift sent by two
neighbors for doctor. On their way
to the village they overlook Dr.
Dwight Gray, physician OF Cam
bridge. and informed him as nearly as
possible the nature of Mr.. Swlft's COM
plaint. When they reached Wood
cock the doctor stepped into Perkins
store and wrote prescription, one OF
the ingredients of which was ascetate
of potash. The clerk in the store, a
Young man named Perry, son OF
Rev. Perry, the Methodist pastor sta
toned there, filled the prescription
from jar labeled "ascetGte of potash, "
but remarked, "That is pretty strong
medicine, doctor you had better taste
it and see if it is not too strong" The
doctor did and pronounced it call
right" Mr.. Swift did not take any of
the mixture until Saturday morning.
After taking the stuff he Immediately
staggered to sofa, and in a few mo-
ments was in a hopeless condition,
diving in an hour. The medicine was
analyzed by Prof Tingley, of Allie
gheny College, and found to contain
cyanide of potassium, deadly poison,
which had been placed in the jar label
ed ascetate of potash, and used for that
drug. Mr. Swift was about thirty,
five years old, and leaves a wife and
two children. The coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death through the criminal
ignorance of DR.. Dwight Gray in Or
dering and prescribing so poisonous
a drug. DR.. Gray was arrested on
Tuesday and gave bail in $4,000 to
answer at May Court.
