Poisonous Cheese.-So many casualties have
lately been produced by eating cheese. that it be.
comes subject worthy OF investigation 1t is
pretty clearly established, that the poison does not
consist in the coIorng as these accidents as FREE
auenty occur in eating coorless cheese as any
Other To the end that the poison may be detected,
we would suggest, that when deeierious effects are
experienced, piece of the cheese producing them
be preserved, and submitted to analysis by an ex-
pcrienced Chemist This is the only way we can
hope to discover, and avoid the danger 1t has
been suggested, that the milk may nave become
acid, and then being prepared in copper or brass
kettle, imbbed some of the pernioious properties
of the copper-the symptoms warrant such con.
clusion. Again. the red earthen mik-pans SO gen.
orally used, glazed with lead and there may be
property in milk capable of dssolving and uniting
intimately with that poison. Another suggestion is,
that the cows may have eaten Of some vegetable
poison, and that its deeterious properties
tractcd BY the milk. This is no, improbable, We
know that the odour Of almost any vegetable eaten
by cows is conveyed to the milk. Whatever may
be the cause, chemical analysis will detect it, ard
we hope the proper means to obtain such resels
will be re.or,ed to.--Hatt. Pat.

you possess so much of the "milk of hu-

on to pursue Mr.. KEAN with the unrelent-

We certainly took some pains to speak
civilly to him, but he, in his wrath, received
not our Communications, but Indignantly re-

ToMB OF WAsHINGToN.-An ln6ammatory par
agraph has for the last week been going the rounds
Of the newspapers, which goes on to say, that a
company of the members Of Congress went to visit
the tomb Of Washington, i'll a steamboat and pre-
viou. to landing. deputed a committee to inquire OF
Judge WASHINGTON, the proprietor OF Mount
Vernon, if they might be permitted to land and
were refused.
This is all true; but the fact is, these gentlemen
member. of Congress, presuniug upon their preros-
att, e. n ade their visit on SunoGy, and the pious
proprietor ofthe Mount, regarding the Sabbath as a
day which ought to be dedicated to the service OF
his God, refused to have a place and a time so sa-
cred, profaned BY the rude and untimely visits even
of members Of the National Legislature. These
are the simple facts of a case, which has been ban
died around the newspapers to bring Judge WASH
INGron into di.repute. We admire his piety, and
his reverence for the Sabbath and hope he will new
er on his premises suffer even members OF Con-
gress-those privileged personases-to protane a
dsy, on which good men and Christians assemble to-
gether to worship, at the shrine of the Almighty,
and at the feet of the Holy Nazarene.

Melancholy .9fair.-We were this morning a
reused from porting over a proof sheet, By a tre-
mendous clamor III the street, and ushering our
heads out of the window to ascertain the cause of it,
discovered a long, lank, ten-footer, about six feet
betwf en- the eyes, standing on n box at the east
end OF the bridge, crying ont "two cents for a peep
at II live Alligator" In a twinkling, a mob, compos-
ed OF gentlemen, OYSTER wenches, negroes, and
"black- white folks" was assembled, and the scien-
tJic keeper displayed the Alligator TO the discrinsi-
mating multitude. The poor reptile had not tong
been out OF his domacil, before it was, to the utter
establishment of its keeper, capsized and the
Jashiensblts who had sreedily gazcd on the curiosi-
ty, commenced giving il rather "more kicks than
coppers;" and the ten footer, alarmed tor the SAFE
ty OF his sight, clasped it TO his soft bosom, and
sought safety and succor in a neigborins cellar
Thus ended thi. melancholy affair.

The bridge at that place, he heard the report Of two
guns, discharged from the windows of an old build
ing occupied a. a mill, the contents of which enter
ed the head of the harmless and unofiendins animal,
and she expiredHwithout a struggle or a groau.
We cannot but hope that the vile wretches who
perpetrated this wanton act-who thus deprived
the noble animal Of existence, out Of sheer wanton-
ness, will meet the punishment their villainy mer-
its. Fine and Imprisonment is the only punish
ment that can reach them-pity it is that they were
not compelled to expiate their offence on the gibbet.
Let their names be known-let them be terretted
out, that the humane and feeling citizens may vent
their indignant execrations on the heads OF scoun-
drels, who in point o fsasacity and common feelings
are so far bene ath the noble animal, they have wan
tonly murdered.

Mr.. RANDOLPH AND Mr.. LLoYD.-A day or
two before the adjournment of the Senate, n per-
sonal alteration took place between these gentle
men, which resulted in a challenge to a combat on
the part of Mr.. LLOYD, which was refused by Mr..
RANDOLPH. The alteration originated IN some
offensive words applied TO Benjamin Russell of the
Boston Cent'nol, and to the person who introduced
him to the Senate Chamber, by Mr.. RANDOLPH.
1t is now stated, on the authority of Mr.. RAN
poLPH, that The unpleasant language, so far as it
concerned the gentleman who introduced Mr.. Rus
sell, was intended for JOHN HOLMES, of Maine,
and not FOR Mr.. LLOYD, Mr.. RANDOLPH having
been informed that the Senator from Maine gained
Mr.. Russell abundance. The affair is ofbut little
consequence, other wise than it is calculated to make
rather too mach OF lie Boston Centinel and its Ed
itor.
Mr.. RANDOLPH aud Mr.. LLOYD, have hereto
fore been Oh the stnctest terms OF intimacy.
