ATTEMPT At PoIsoNING.-Onl last Wednes-
day evening Bridget Robinson made an at
tempt to poison her husband, Roland Rob-
inson. 1t seems that she got one Of her &C
quaintances to purchase some strychuine,
which she dissolved in her husbands coffee
The latter however in drinking it, found
that it had q strange taste, and did not take
more than half of what the emp contained.
\ short time afterwards lie was seized with
violent pains and spasms. A doctor was
sent for, who soon discovered that it was a
case of poisoning. On Thursday morning,
Bridget Robinson becoming frightened, ac-
knowlcdged to her husband that she had put
some strychnine into his coffee, saving that
her intention WAS not criminal one That
she did not want to Kill him, but merely to
lessen his animal spirit and prevent him from
being SO attentive to other women Upon
the fact becoming known that she had con-
tessed to the poisoning, an affidavit was sworn
against her, she was arrested and is now in
Jail, from which she is to be to-day taken out
to undergo n preliminary examination before
his honor Judge Cullom, under writ OF
h0beas corpus; and as her husband is now
getting better, she may be admitted to bail

A Happy Editor.

George w. Kendall, one Of the proprie-
large estates in Texas. Writing to a friend
in Boston, he describes his mode Of life as
! follows:
You may perhaps wish to learn the mode
and manner of my life hereaways; let me
enlighten you. Three days in the week !
ordinarily pass at my rancho here, three or
four miles from New Brauntels, with my
family two days spend at the Estancla, a
place of mine thirty miles west, and where
my focks of sheep are pastured; and the
other two days am on the road, backward
and forward !; my conveyance ali old jersey
wagon with two trusty horses. There is
one gap of eight miles on the road without
a house, and another of twelve-yet the
way is not lonesome. l never pass over it
without seeing an abundance of deer, tur-
keys, ducks, patriges and the like. l carry
alongside of me double barrel gun, a
Sharpe's rifle and one of Colts revolvers,
and some kind of game is sure TO grace my
wagon both going and coming.
My sheep now number some 5000, and
finer tlockss you never set your eyes upon
In May | hope to be able to count 1000, as
my lambs come in April. have, besides,

you nat had much rather see my lambs
skipping upon the hills and playing in the
valleys than to witness the pirouetts and en-
trochats of the best corps de ballet that ever
existed? III did'not say as much to you,
it is nevertheless true. l have seen a good
deal in ms day, Jim-the world, the elephant,
&c-but never saw anything which afford
ed NE, such real enjoyment as my focks,
when doing we'll. And since | have been

TERRITORIAL ABSORPTION By THE eNIrET
SrArEs.-The disquieting aspect Of Europe
an politics, says an exchange, has for the last
six months diverted all attention from the
long predicted territorial chances on the
other side of the Atlantic, which seem now
Mastering to !. consummation. The abso,p-
ton Of the weaker republics of Centra! and
South America by the United States cannot
apparently be long delayed. Mexico and
New Granada are not only ready to fall
from natural decay, but have actually com
menced open movements in favor of a sur
render Of their nationality Venezuela. al
though recent events might seem to indicate
that she has some Inherent life, is on the
road TO similar fate. With regard to Mex
leo negotiation for the purchase of anoth-
err Of her richest districts was understood to
be in progress before the recent overthrow of
Comonfort, Mr. Forsyth, the Minister from
Washington, being empowered to treat for
the province Of Sonora, with its valuable
silver mines and its Larbor of Guaymas,
said to BE equal to San Francisco itself. The
negotiation has since been suspended, not
because there would be an objection on the
part Of any Mexican dictator to complete it,
or, indeed, to sell the whole country, but
simply because there is no one with sufficient
power to act as vendor. General Zuloaga,
by whom Comonfert was betrayed, is now
the nominal President, and enjoys the sup
port Of the clerical party throughout the
country; but Alvarez, who made the pre-
vious revolution against Santa Anna, holds
sway in TIE Southwest; Vera Cruz is still in
possession Of tho constitutionalsts Tamp;-
CO is in imminent danger OF surrendering to
them; and, finally, Vidaufri, with his Tex
an sympathisers, is again looking to his op-
portunltles on the nothern frontier Santa
Anna, meanwhile is lowering among the
neighboring islands, hoping for turn of
fortune that may renstate him sufficiently
into power to enable him to be the lucky
person that may make the final bargain with
Mr.. Euchasan's Cabinet. Under these cir
cumstancos the United States Government
have only to wal. a little and they May have
the country Oh their own terms. Already
in the Senate, at Washington, General lIous-
ton has introduced resolution, proposing
the assumption Of protectoratc, and if tho
motion is not carried it will simply be be-
cause it would be idle for Amer cca to ON
NIT herself to an overt act in matter which
can go only one way even if shc remains
passive.

TIE ATLANTIC TELEGRApIt.-Ye sterday,
the 10th Of June, the steamers Niagara and
Agamcmnon were to start from Ireland to
make the second attempt to Law the ocean
cable. Each Of them has half of it Oh board.
This tino they are to proceed to the middle
OF the Atlantic before commencing opera
tons. Arrived at the proper point the two
ends will be tplicel together, and dropped
into the sea, both vessels "reeing out" Both
are to remain stationary until the splice has
we'll settled to the bottom, which is only a
distance OF a mile and three quarters.
They are then to set sail, the one for New
fouudland, the other for ireland. Ii the
weather is fair, five days stcaming will safely
land both ends oftAe cable If it is foul,
and the sea runs sonigh as to create danger
of breaking the cable or wrcchins the ship,
buoys, capable of keeping the end floating
on the water, are to be attached, and it will
then be cut. There will thus be three chances
OF saving to one Of losing ii: LIST, That both
vessels may arrive safely ol, That one may
safely land its end of the cable, even if the
other end is lost. Sd, That even if both
vessels arc obliged to cut it, the buoys will
keep the end, floating and conspicuous,
when they can be found and rejoined on the
return Of fair weather.--N. 0. BuUetin

TIE RIyrGs-Lata accounts by telegraph
represent the Missoa,i, Upper Mississippi,
Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, and nearly all
the upper rivers at flood height, caused by
rains throughout the country. This may
cause the lower rivers to swell again, but
not so much, wc presume, as to cause an
overflow, though it should reach us before
the present high stage Of water has time to
subside much The lsteress Of the year,
seems sufficient security for us,-as it is
unusual for the waters Of our State to rise

| CIRCuMsTANTIAL EvIDESCE.-The fallibil-
| ity of human testimony is such that it must
be acknowledged we cannot believe our own
eyes. A case very similar to one which oc-
Cured some months since at Poughkeepse
N. Y, in which girl positively identified
the remains of deceased person as those of
her sister, and on the strength of which a
young man was arrested for murder, but in
, which case suspicion was averted by tho re-
appearance of the supposed murdered girl,
has occurred at Joliet, I'll.
A body Of a female was found in q ravine
near Joliet; farmer testified to the finding
Of bloody clothes near the spot; four fami-
lies testified to the hearing of screams from
the ravine on the night Of the su. posed
murder, and that the cries were those of a
female; a woman named Cook recognized
the body as that of her daughter, who was
missed on the very night of these screams,
and knew it was her daughter because one
of her front teeth was gone; she testified to
improper intimacy between her daughter and
Mr.. Richardson, and he was arrested for the
murder, and some three hundred men were
about taking the law into their own hands to
lynch Richardson, fearing that justice would
not be done by regular jury.
The girl was finally found in Chicago,
and produced in Joliet The body found was
finally proved to be that of an elderly gray
haired lady, who had died natural death,
and whose body had been dsinterred for dis
section. The girl is only eighteen years of
