Distressing occurrence

--Mrs. Henry Miller, residing one mile from Middleburg, near the Pennsylvania line, took one day last week, through mistake, as over-dose of tincture colchicum, supposing it to be some bitters. She was soon after seized with alarming collapse, violent action of the stomach and limbs, when the services of several physicians were called in, but all to no purpose; the fatal drug had done its work, and the lady expired after the most intense suffering. This should serve as a warning to those in the habit of taking this drug (popular in rheumatism,) without the advice of the regular physician.--Hagerstown (Md.) Herald.
