         JOSEPH BABCOCK, a worthy citizen of the town of Tittabawassee
       in this county, came to his death on Wednesday last, in the fol-
       lowing manner: He had been troubled with the ague for some little
       time, and accordingly obtained from a neighbor what was supposed
       to be quinine, and took a portion. The medicine proved to be
       strychnine. He soon went into convulsions and lived only about
       fifteen minutes. The poison was placed in close proximity to a
       paper of quinine, and MR. BABCOCK took from the wrong paper. He
       leaves two little daughters to mourn his untimely end.
