SAD CASUALTY-We were deeply pained to learn last evening of the death by poisoning of Mr. S. G. Fennimore’s two youngest children. We are informed that the Druggist made a mistake in reading the prescription for medicine. Mournful indeed is this result. Mr. Fennimore’s oldest son, was severely kicked by a horse, and his life, for a time, was despaired of, and now the hearts of fond and doting parents, are wrung with still and deeper and bitterer anguish, by a second and more fatal dispensation.
