Flore had at the last accounts thrown
enforcement into the city Of Monte Vdco. His
forces being principally cavalry, some sorties
will probably be made On the bcsicging force.

IMpoRTANr FROM Observation-Disclosures from
Havana via New Orleans 10 the l4th inst states
that Gen. O'0onnell is acting promptly against
the Insuyrectionists. There were ordered TO be
shot that day twenty-five negroes, four English

clever. He was to have been leader in case Of
an insurrcction. He was found to be in cores
pondence with the blacks of ST. Domingo, and
had success crowned their oti,rts, he was to be

CAUTION TO PAnEsTs.-A fine boy, about eight
years Of aye, son Of Mr. Campfed Of Re'houk,
last Saturday swallowed quantity OF gimp weed
seeds, winch he picked from the Capsules. In
short time he was seized with blindness, insensi-
biIity, and the most irightiu! convusions. After
few hours, DR.. Mckenna, OF South Brooklyn,
was called ill., who, by the AID Of powerful anti
dotes, and lncessant attention for two days, sue
ceeded in counteracting the effects of the poison
and we are happy to say the lad is now running
about. As gimp weed (Da,ura Strammonium)
is very common production OF this State, and
most deadly poison. very few ever recovering from
It's effects parents should carly caution their chill
drcn against 1t. Brooklyn Adv.
u The navigation between Montreal and
Quebec IS resumed.

taken in the Eccaleobon or Ponlty- Hatching Ex
hibon is daily increasing, and that i, is paronzed
by the elite of the city. OF the four hundred and
upwards who visited it yesterday, more than half

they rould produce chickens" As soon as the work
