CURIOUS CAUTION.

BY bills rendered, learn that my cook is in the
habit of getting mackerel, &c. daily for my break
fast, on credit, which is contrary to my wishes-I
therefore, caution all persons against giving my
cook, myself or any other person connected with
me, credit, on my account; my debts are more
than can conveniently liqudate.
All orders from Ct cents to quarter dollar when
written by myself will be promptly paid, but no
other after this date.
c. F. GRANDSON.
N. B. All persons indebted to me will confer
favor by making payment, to enable me to pay my

.Nec Fork, Jan. 10.
IA deed acithout name."-A diabolical attempt
was made yesterday, to poison family in Laurens-
street, consisting OF man. his wife and Eve children
We have not been able 10 collect many of the cir
cumstances connected with the attempt Of this
damnlng deed. 1t appears, however, that the fam-
ly is quite poor; and on going to the door in the
course of the morning, one of the children came
running in, delighted at having found on the door
steps, basket of cakes, tarts, pies, &c, richly FROST
ed with sugar. With thankful hearts for what they
considered present from some humane family ac-
quanted with their circumstances, the delcacies
were distributed by the parents among themselves
and little ones, and eaten. 1t was not long, how
ever, before all we're taken violently sick, and on
calling medical aid it soon found that the sup
posed angel of mercy which had visited their hum-
bic dwelling, was none other than demon The
frostng of the cakes had been mingled with arsenic,
and without the timely medical assistance which
called in, the whole family would have slept in
death before the dawn OF another day
The Poisoned Family.-We this morning col
lected some further particulars in relation to the
diabolical attempt to poison family as stated yes
terday. The sufferers are John S. Carroll, his wife
and 1--WE children. 1t appears that their youngest
child. on Sunday morning, found, suspended to the
door by large fish hook, covered basket, in which
were parts OF new years cake, some mullins, round
and thin slices of smoked beef placed within. The
CAROLS being extremely poor, they concluded it
was present from some kind neghbor. The new
years cake first despatched, and then The pies;
when in less than half hour they were all taken
sick. The mother said at once, that poison had
been placed IN the articles; and physician was
sent for who pronounced that arsenic had be en- mix
ed with the whole contents Of the basket. Suspi-
cions immediately rested on neghbor, named John
Reid, who it appears had a suit pending with Car
roll for assault and battery in which he is defendant.
Attempts had been made to settle this difficulty, but
without effect. A warrant was issued against Reid,
and on searching the room in which he resided.
pieces of new years cake, round heart pies and
mullins, were found which exactly correspondent
with those left at the door Of Carroll in addition TO
which, the basket was tied with peculiar kind Of
cord, made of Indian grass the description Of
cord was also found in the room OF Reid. With
this evidence before the police magistrates he
ordered to find bail to appear at the present term.
Mr.. Carroll was very i'll las, evening his family
are considered out OF danger. Com .aav.

From an English Paper.

The Johanna Southcott Sect at Ashton Under Line.
| A few weeks ago fanatic of this sect told her
husband, industrious artisan that she had dreams
that old Johanna would send her white ass, on
which she was to ride to Jerusalem. This dream
made such an impression ON her mind, that she
neglected her household affairs, and her family and
her husband had neither comfort nor peace. This
poor fellow communicated to his neighbots the folly
and deuson of his wife, and they hit on the follow
ing expedient to cure her Of her delirum: they
procured her an ass which they covered with white
calico, and at The dead Of the night two friends of
the family repaired to the habation of her husband.
Having arrived there, they caused the animal TO
bray. he noise was celestial music to the ears
oil the deluded woman, who took an affectoDate
leave of her husband, previously to setting out on
her journey. Her attendants were Enthusiastically
attlred, and she viewed them with awe, conceiyng
they had been sent from the other world, as her
heavenly guides, by old Joan. Don Quxotte never
set out on more ridiculous expedition, and, off
she lrotted for the Holy Land. Her guides hav-
ing previously fixed on the journey she should take,
led her througha copse through brlas and brambles,
OF which she soon found the powerful effects.
his only heightened her ZEAL as she occasionally
calculated that the path to Paradise filled with
horns, still expressing her gratitude to old Joan for
appointing her one of the elect The punctures of
thorns she considered as so many blessings; but
at length, after devious course, she was led back
to her husbands house On stopping, she observed,
/" This amt surely Jerusalem for it is like my hus-
bands cottage;'' and SO it was, where he had as
sembled several OF his neghbors to witness her
folly. This fact was stroke of ridicule more
eHectual than expostuation, or arguing with her
her absurdity and her believing in old Joan and
Shion; and after becoming the ridicule Of the
village, she has abandoned the sect, and conducts
herself as rational being and good housewife.
