Boy's Queer Attempt at Suicide.

Charles Miner, a 12-year-old West Brattleboro (Vt) boy, threw a stone at some hogs the other day, but it went wild and hit a pet dog. When he saw the dog bleeding from a wound tn its head he thought it would die, and remorse and grief so overwhelmed him that he mixed up a dose of paris green and took a large quantity. He was hurried to a doctor, who gave emetics freely, and the boy was soon declared out of danger.
