A Case of Poisoning. A case of poisoning occurred in Fair view township, York county, near Lis burn, Cumberland county, which has created considerable excitement in the vicinity. It appears that Michael Hart, his wife aud daughter had eaten freely of apple-butter, and were very shortly after breakfast taken violently ill, requiring immediate medical at tendance. The doctor on arriving de clared that the cases had the character istics of poisoning. Mr. Hart was re lieved much sooner than his wife and daughter, who were very sick, but not regarded as dangerously so. An ex amination of the food eaten resulted in the discovery of poisonous substance in the apple butler, and when the crock from which this had been taken was investigated, it was discovered that the glazing had peeled oil, and this had produced the poisoning, having been eaten with butter. A KJU ol Mr. Hart's who had not eaten of the apple butter, was not taken sick, which was regard ed as still further proof Ujat it was that which had caused the sickness ol the lather, mother and daughter. The ailair caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood, where Mr. Hart aud family are very much respected. JlAiCdiiii. hi April <i, ISs 1, !>y Hev. 10.
