At a ball at Konigsberg, in Prussia, last month, a young lady suddenly fainted, and it was afterwards proved by the doctor, who was called upon to render aid, that her indisposition arose from the presence of arsenic in some green ornaments in her hair and in the trimmings of her dress, which were of the same color.
