PoIsoSISG sY EATlSG SMOKED BEEr.-Within


the last six or days FIVE several families, com
prising nj least twenty persons, in the vicinity of
Ves,ry and Greenwich streets, have been poisoned
by eating smoked beef and have suffered seriously
Ly sickness in consequence After hearing of the
cases the Mayer proceeded to investigate the sub
ject-and having ascertained satisfactorily that the
poisoning proceeded from eatng smoked beef Pur-
chased at some stores caused some OF the beef TO
be placed in the hands of sklful chemist for ana
lysing, in order to detect, if possible, with what
poisonous properties the meat is saturaIed-and a
report will be furnished HIM in few days.


The poisoning, it is to be observed, is purely
matter Of accident, and the beef supposed TO be
good by those who sold it-but it is said, with
what truth we know not that the smoked beef
that has produced this sad result, is from cattle
driven in hither from Ohio, which are supposed to
have been infected with some deeterou> disease.
We have not heard ofany persons having died in
consequence OF the above poisoning.
