negro woman was committed to our Jail las,
week, charged with having attempted to poison
the family Of MIR. II. Dudley, OF this county.
She used the seeds Of the jamestown weed, and
probably would have accomplished her purpose
had it not been discovered so soon. The family
have all recovered from the effects of the poison,

BELFAST, December 80. 1915.
There was never such plentiful supply Of Ir-
ish grown Oats as we have had this year; and
except some unfortunate fatality should occur dur.
ing the sowing season, think the prices of all
descriptions of grain will be low in the ensuing
summer. Oats at present are rs. Cd. per ll2
pounds; Wheat IL les. The panic which
many people felt in regard to potatoes has nearly
suoslded. The increased quantity planted last
seed time, and economy which has lately taken
place in the use of this valuable root will prevent
any scarcity from being felt in this country.

Propnecy Of Isaiah.

Der the dark land of Edom now desert and
Once rose the proud palace and sli'tered the

And Idomea in glory and grandeur looked
On the nations around her. as gems of her
crown.
In the pride Of her strength she renowned the
And deemed not that death and destruction
were nigh;
Blu, the whirlwind of vengeance sped DER her
in haste,
And The land of ldumea forever laid waste!
She calls for her mobiles, but none shall be
there;
Forever and ever her wastes shall lie bare.
Wild beasts Of the desert roam over her plain,
And the saIyr shall cry TO his fellow again.
Beneath her dark shadow, the vulture shall
rest:
The cormorant and bittern her ruins possess:
The owl Of the desert, shall seek there her
mate,
And wild beasts of the island, keep watch at
her gaze.
The Bedouin of the desert, speed bys her in
fear.
AS he calls upon Allah and murmurs prayer.
For the wandering Arab dwells not on the
plain,
Where the sentence of death and destruction
remain.
The traveller fingers moment in dread,
Near the "city of Silence" and home of the
dead;
Then hastes him far onward, with look Of dis
may,
Lest the night cloud of vengeance should
burst DER his way.
All Edom! thy day star was Swallowed in
gloom,
Ere yet it attained its full zenith at noon:
And thy sunshine of splendor shall henceforth

Neither land of the living nor house of the

The lines of confusion far Ger thee shall

Until ocean delivers its slumbering dead.
And thick cloud of darkness thy covert re.

Until Time shall roll back to its fountain

Another Glance mt Mexico

The war with Mexico excites so
much interest Just now, that every
thing that relates to that country is
sought for and read with interest; this
is not only the case in the New World
but in the Old; and thus we find that
several of the leading British periodi-
Gals contain articles on Mexico, its
population and prospects. Black
wood devotes quite long article to
these topics. The writer has evident
" consulted various authorities, and
has grouped together much valuable
information. "The INVASION" he says.
of the Mexican Territory by the Uni
ted States has naturally attracted the
eyes of Europe; and whether the war
shall issue in a total conquest or in
hollow peace, its results affect the fu-
ture condition ofthe country. Mexi-
co must at once take the bold attitude
of an empire, or must be discovered,
province by province, until its very
name is 10 more. But no country of
the western world has a position more
fitted for an empire. Washed on the
east by gulf which bears its name,
and on the west by the Pacific, it thus
possesses direct access TO two oceans.
and by them TO the most opulent re-
.gions of the globe. On the south il
can dread no rival in the struggling
State Of Guatemala. But the north
is the true frontier on which the bat
tie of its existence is to be fought. if
fought at all. for beyond that barrier
stretch the United States. The ex-
tent Of its territory startles European
conceptions, extending in north lati-
tude from fifteen to forty-two degrees,
and in west longitude from eighty-sev-
en- to one hundred and twenty-five de-
grees. Its surface, on a general calcu-
lation, contains about a million and a
half of square miles, or about seven
times the dimensions Of France. Yet
though thus approaching the equator,
the climate of Mexico is in general
highly favorable to life and to the pro-
ducts of the temperate zone; the in
comparably larger portion of its sur
face being a succession of table lands
or elevated plains, where, with the sun
of the tropics blazing almost vertically,
the evenings are refreshing!y cool, the
breeze is felt from the mountains or
the ocean, and the days are scarcely
hotter tBan those OF Europe.
This is indeed a glowing picture, but
