Marietta, May 12;-The family of
Samuel Albright, residing near this
place, were poisoned yesterday and mar.
rowly escaped death. The family had
been troubled with rats and mice and
poison was placed in the cupboard in
some cornmeal. Catherine, the 10year-
old daughter, cleaned the cupboard and,
not knowing that the poison was in the
cornmeal, emptied into the large sack.
Mrs. Albright made some cakes for
supper, of which all ate heartily, and
in a short time the family became vio-
lently ill. The only thing that saved
their lives, it is said, was that they
got an overdose of the poison. Some
are still confined to bed as result.
