A CAUTION TO TEETOTALERS.
Certain teetotalers at Wells, Wisconsin, have mado a sad mistake, Selecting the largest barn in tho place, they an. uounoed a grand bill, and invitod to it their neighbours and friends. No champagne or claret cup excited the dancers, but from great j-irs, expressely filled, lemonade was libornlly served out to the guests of the evening. Suddenly ; the drinkers of this apparently harmless liquor began to Vtish from tho room. A general stampede took place, the lawn outside beon strewn with people who wero so violently sick that they could proceed no furlhor. On inquiry it was found that tho gentleman who made the lemonade had, by some blunder or other, put tartar emetic instead of tartario aoid into .the beverage. The people of W"olls will ,brobably be f»by of temperance drinks at their: dauoing parties in, future.
