Cyanide of Potassium. The Nashville Monthly Record states that a New York daguerrean artist died in three minutes from the accidental ingestion of a small piece of cyanide of potassium, and the daily papers have chronicled the death of a child, who, playing about the room of a daguerreotypist, drank from a glass some solution of the same salt, and died in a few minutes.
