Allin, Boston and Cambridge : James
Munro & Co., 1851.
Such is the title OF volume Of Poem .
which has been on our desk for some
weeks past, but which we have not had
time to peruse until recently. The hook
is very neatly got up by the publishers,
and contains over 200 pages. We have
read many Of the poems before, as they
appeared, from time to time, in different
periodicals and pape's. Some of them
contain good deal Of merit, while all
are interesting. Miss Allin writes with
much ease, and the tone of Ter mind 10
pure and useful. II is eminently New
England book, and as such we trust
that il will have an extensive sale hot
simply because il is the production of a
lady, but because 1t il merlorious, and
the poems deserve TO be read. The

ACCIDENTAL PoisosiNo.-We learn
that the children OF Lemucl Mosher,
Esq, OF Dartmouth, Deputy Sheriff,
were sent into the garden yesterday to
dis horse-radish, instead of which they
procured similar root, called poke-root
or pigeon-berry loot, Of which all the
family partook, excepting Mr.. Mosher
and his two sons. His mother, wife,
daughter, and hired man, were soon
seized with violent illness. The two
latter, under the skiful treatment of DR..
Bartlett have nearly recovered, while
the wife AID mother, are, we regret to
learn, in a precarious condition still.

THE FoRREsT AND Willis CASE
The trial Of this suit was. after several
delays and postponements, commenced
yesterday before Justice Oakley, in the
Superior Court. The particulars OF
the assault committed by Forrest in
Washington Parade Ground, in June
last, on Mr.. Willis, il is unnecessary to
state, as they have already been given
to our readers. The two witnesses
called yesterday to prove the assault,
were Mrs. Ann Morgan, and Philip
Galliger, who Witnessed it. At the con-
clusion Of their testimony, the Court
adjourned.
The trial was resumed this morning,
when John Culbaugh, of22 Twelfth
street, testified that he saw Forrest and
two men watching MIR. Willis; saw
Forrest run up cautiously behind VIII
liz, grasp the cane out Of his hand, and
then knock HIM down. He then held
him down by the collar, and fogged
him severely with what seemed TO be a
raw hide.
The witness underwent rigid cross
examination, but without affecting his
testimony Y. Mirror.
