PUBLIC SQUARE, OR PLAZA, IN VOLCANO
The valuable property of Col Madeira on
the corner of Main and Consolation streets
has been purchased by the citizens owning
the surrounding property, for the purpose OF
appropriatng the same as a Public Plaza
The project has been had in view for some
time; and the enterprise of those who have
literally contributed of their means to carry
it out, are deserving of all commentator.
Col. Madeira, in disposing of his property at
a sacrifice, for this object, has exhibited in
an eminent degree the generous qualities OF
which he is possessed, and has justly earned,
in Volcano the character of public bene-
factor Notwithstanding he contemplates
removing from California at an early day,
still he has proved himself willing to confer
a public good even at the expense OF his
own personal pecuniary interest. The value
of property contiguous to the plaza (for which
we propose Union Square as an appropri-
ate name,) will be greatly enhanced in val
ne. II is to be well paved with gravel-stone;

ALARMING CASE OF PoIsoNo. The
family OF DR.. Haymond was thrown
into no little confusion and alarm last
Saturday evening, by the sudden and
violent sickness of the whole family
shortly after supper. The Doctor him
SELF had gone down town, but becoming
very sick he started for home, but
was taken with vomiting before he
arrived there. At home, ne found
his wife and youngest daughter and
his son. very sick. and in few min
utes his eldes, daughter. and a young
lady guest. returned from a walk
also sick. That something poisonous
had been taken. was too manifest TO
be doubted. II was soon traced to a
cake, OF which oil had parlaken, and
On further inquiry it was discovered
that the tartar used In making it, was
emetic tartar, instead of cream Of tar
tar. which had been put up by the
Junior Mr.. Halle. under the mistaken
impression that emetic tartar was
called for by the son who had gone
for it. The whole might have been
avoided by the observance Of Mr..
Haile's usual caution, Of labelling all
articles sold by him. We learn. how
ever. that the cake was very light, and
nice, though this kind Of tartar is not
strongly recommended to bakers, by
those who have tried II. Cooks and
apoihecaries can not be too cautious
in the kind Of articles used in culina-
ry operations.
