Death
We understand that on Wednesday last a child of Thomas Rathbun, of Laurens [Otsego Co. NY] came to its death in consequence of taking poison. As we learned, the mother of the child was engaged in cleaning house and took a quantity of vials and set them down in reach of the child, one of them containing Corrosive Sublimate, and the child about two years old, got hold of it and drank some. The child died about 4 hours afterwards. This is a warning to people to be very careful when they have such deadly poison in the house.
