HORRIBLE CASE OF PoIsINING BY
SLAvE.-The entire family OF J. Kent.
consisting of nine persons living near
Warren,on, Mo-. were poisoned on the
18th inst, by negro woman belonging
to the estate Of F. Henry deceased, and
hired this year TO NJ. Kent. The cir
cumstances that led her TO this diaboli
cal act are, as we can learn, as follows:
One Of the negro woman's children
having been guilty of some piece of mis-
chief, was slapped few times for ii by
Mrs. Kent. The negro thereupon indul-
ged III good deal OF impudence 10 Mrs.
Kent, and went SO far as to threaten per-
sonal violence, for which she was justly
punished. lncited by spirit Of revenge
she then determined TO make away with
the Whole family, and for that purpose
took paper OF arsenic containing about
pound, which had been bought about
six months before for rats. and mixed 1t
with all the food, particularly some chick
ems and toast. which were cooked that
day for brcakfast.-T family sat down
as usual TO breakfast-Mr Jamison,
young man VINO was staying at The mouse
COR short time, remarked after they had
been eating for some time that there Yves
u peculiar kind of powder on the meat.
Mrs. Kent, Immediately suspected the
fact, jumped up TO the close. where ;he
a.senlc had been placed, aud saw that 1t
was gone; she went TO the fire; and there
partly consumed lay the paper with some
of the arsenic in it. Medical aid was
Immediately called, but before the doc

its own antidote. losing its death prop
critics for those of an emetic. Thus are
develish designs frustrated by the very
plans employed 10 carry them out. We
are happy to say that all are now out OF
danger and fast recovering. The woman

Col. Denton-HS Wiie.-The following.
we have no doubt IS strictly true in
relation to this old and respected States
man.
The wife Of Col Benton of Missouri,
died in this city on the llth inst. For
many years she has been an invalid from
paralysis, which quite destroyed her
mental faculties. and left her child.
and most helpless one al that. With
all his exterior GOODNESS. his relentless
hate and persevering warfare against
his pennies. personal or political. Col.
BENTON, in his family mas always been
ore OF the kindest. most atfectiOnate and
indugent of men. Ii would seem as
though the finer emotions OF the heart
have bean sealed against the world. only
that their treasures might be poured out
the more laylshly in the bosom of his
home. Here he laid aside the rancor of
the politician and the i'll humor of dis
appointed ambition. sank the asperltes
of his public out door character, and be-
came the kindes, of husbands and she
gentlest and most aflectionatc OF fathers.
| have seldom witnessed more enchant
ing spectacle than this vetren statesman
surrounded By the charmed circle of his
ia milv.
Since the occurrence Of the attack Of
paralysis which destroyed in SO great
degree the physical and mrnta capacities
Of the mother of his children. she has
seemed 10 know, or care TO know little
else OF life than that he-the partner OF
her earlier years-wss we'll at her side.
She ever moved noiseless,y about TIC
house, taxing her SEA, b. his side when
engaged in reading or wri:ing,-sailstied
if she could 5u; rest her hand upon his
knee, or look up in his face and receive
an occasional glance OF the eye, to her SO
dear That he was kind to her is say
ing but little; no invalid infant, whose
helpless CONDITION had excited the depths
of mo.her's exhaustess sympathy aud
love. ever was treated with tenderness
surprising that the strong MAN bestowed
upon the stricken wife. He seemed ever
to see her with the eyes of his youth,
while all the strength Of maturer years
was concentrated in the affection he be-
slowed upon this reiict of brighter days.
Is there not something beautiful In such
devotion as this?
