TOOK POISON

 

Daniel McNAUGHTON in a Semi-Unconscious Condition.

 

Several physicians, among them Dr. HOVEY, were called to the York house this morning to do what they could to relieve the sufferings of a young man named Daniel McNAUGHTON who had taken poison. When a Union reporter at one o'clock visited the hotel the utmost secrecy was for some reason preserved by the attaches of the place in regard to the young man's identity. His brother, however, who had more sense, talked with the reporter and gave the name. He said Daniel had taken the poison which it is thought was prepared for the treatment of bed bugs by mistake. He is now in a semi-unconscious condition, but it is thought that he will recover.

It was fifty years ago yesterday that Mr. GOODGER, then a young man just of age, set foot in New York, having left his native land (England) to seek a home under the flag of the Stars and Stripes. Nearly all of these years have been passed in Rochester, he having settled here in 1836. Many returns of the anniversary are wished for by his friends.
