Naples, April 7.  The following melancholy accident happened
here lately.  A drummer of the regiment of Farnese having
bought some mushrooms, dined on them with the rest of his
family; and in twenty four hours the father, mother, three
children, a cousin, and a soldier who dined there by chance,
were all killed by them.
