On Saturday the 9Th inst. in the town of
Mt. Chase, at the farm house Of j. w. Will
lett, occurred a singular case of poisoning,
as briefly mentioned in telegtaphic news of
the 9th inst. The following facts were taken
in the form of statement for use in case
death ensued. The patient was Cora Serena
Eerkins, aged 10. daughter of Soloman Per-
kins of Merrill Plantation. Eight weeks
since she came to Willett's to do homework
About two weeks ago she with several others
found can of Paris Green in the house.
Out of bravado they touched their tongues
to the loison. As their was no perceptible
effect from this, she resolved and declared
her intention to further test it. Upon the
morning of the 9Th inst, while Wilett was at
the barn, she said ''At about half past five
was going down cellar after potatoes for
breakfast, and seeing the can of Paris Green
thought would take some. Took about
half teaspoonful, with thumb and finger
and ate it. She worked all the forenoon
till eleven o'clock, when vomiting began and
continued until the arrival of the physician
at eleven o'clock in the evening. As the
family went away directly after breakfast
that morning. she was not discovered till
afternoon. then for lack of horses the physi-
clan was not called till . in the evening.
At IL o'clock she was very low, and in her
statement she said she had no particular
motive in committing the act. She merely
took it to see if it would have any effect
Upon the application of effective remedies
she began to rally and last Sunday morning
the prospect of her recovery seemed assured.
