The child had been having ague and the parents supposed they were administering quinine instead of which they gave it a large dose of strychnine or some other poison equally fatal that caused its death in a very short time. The deadly drug had been carelessly left lying about the house without being labeled and was an act of negligence scarcely excusable. It is a dear experience to that family and ought to be a warning to all others who learn of their misfortune. The distressed family lives in Newcastle township, two miles south of Bloomingsburg.
