Felrs Point were suddenly taken sick yester-
day morning. about an hour after breakfast
| The family consists of Mr.. Somer his wife,
/ five children and a gentleman who is stopping

the most alarming character, aud gave rise TO
the suspicion that they had been poisoned. 1t
was ascertained that some cheese Which had
been purchased in the market early III the
morning, and partaken freely of by the family.
was the cause Of the sickness. Drs. Dashlell
and konchling were Immediately sent for, and
remained the greater part OF the day, admins
terng such remedies the nature Of the case
required, At late hour yesterday afternoon
they were supposed to be out OF danger.

of ladies' and gentlemen were present at the
Egyptian Saloon, Odd Fellows Hail. on We'd
nesday afternoon, on the occasion of the clos

! They were highly delighted with the exercises,

The Western Trade The cars from the
West for the last few evenings, have brought
large numbers of Western Merchants, all of
whom, with a few EXCEPTIONS, remain in our
city to make their purchases. Goods of all
kinds can be obtained from our wholesale
houses upon as good, if not better terms than
those in the more northern cities, and we are
pleased to see that the merchants of the
Great West" are beginning to find it out.
Pistols for Ttco-Posting. Not little ex-
element was created yesterday morning among
what might be called the "middle ten thou
sand, by seeing a large Placard posted at the
corners of the different streets, in which GER
tain young man named j. J. Laftte calls an
other certain young man named William I.
Bixler, certain ugly names; among which are
coward, liar, poltroon, &c. The cause of
the posting, we understand to be, that Bxler,
who doubtless thinking with Hudibrass,
"That great troubles do environ
Those that NEEDLE with cold iron,'
refused to accept of polite invitation from
l.afitte, to meet him on the field of honor, and
that LATTE, determined to carry out all the
| laws and customs relating to the di!elio, had
recourse, as a dernier resort, to the gentemanly
mode of posting. The affair is silly one
throughout, and has not added anything to the
reputation of either Of the parties. A lady,
we believe, was the cause of the difficulty.
accident. A small colored boy named Isaac
Cook met with an accident yesterday morning of
/
ard and Pratt streets. 1t appears he was rid
ing on the burthen cars, contrary to the wishes
of those having charge Of the same, and being
driven off, he fell so as to be caught beneath
the wheels, which injured his limbs in a very
serious manner, Dr. Smith was promptly on
the spot and rendered him medical aid

common practice among our juveniles, and the
wonder is that we do not often hear of deaths
in consequence, instead of minor accidents.
Distinguished .4rriral. The Hon. Cave John
son, Postmaster General, arrived in this city
yesterday morning from the seat of government,
and took rooms at Bradshaw's u S. Hotel.
Violating a. City Ordinance. A youth, nam
ed Richard Carr, was yesterday arrested by Of

ordinance Of the corporation by sending up
balloon gnited by spirit gas. He was taken be-
fore Justice Wright and fined 81 and COSTS
This is a dangerous practice and we are pleas
ed to see that our police are determined TO put
stop to it. Some of the fires that occur are
doubtless caused by this means.

with abusingand threatening John Hocke, was
yesterday arrested by officer Bernhard, and re-
leased on security to keep the peace by Justice
Cockey.
