evening of this week. Feeling the effects
of sudden cold, he arose from bed,
whittier he had retired for the night, and
taking large dose of what he supposed
was Tully's powder from a vial in which
that drug was kept in bulk, he again re-
tired and prepared for sleep. Noticing a
very bitter taste. he remarked the fact to
his wife, who at once suspecting mis-
take in the walls had been made, immedi-
ately discovered that morphine, also kept
in vial near the Tully's powder, had
been taken. A physician was sent for,
but fortunately Miss Minnie Hemenway,
Il sister, administered IA large quantity of
mustard, which soon produced vomiting,
and when the doctor, who lives several

ened young man was out of danger.
