SINGULAR CASE OF PoIsoNrNG BY A BOY.-A re-
markable case of attempted murder by poison has
occurred lately, as we learn from the Burlington
Free Press, at Montpelier, Vt. A little child of Hon.
C. W. WILLARD, while drinking his milk, was seized
with violent vomiting. The milk was examined and
found to contain corrosive submate enough to kill
a dozen men. The poison had evidently been put
into the milk after it had been poured into the childs
cup, and the sudden violent reaction of the childs
stomach was all that saved its life. The wcnder
was ,1hO could have done it-for the servants girl
and an Irish boy named John Roaks, were consider
ed trusty, and wero both exceedingly fond of the
child. Finally suspicion fell upon Roaks, who con-
fessed that he put the poison into the child's cup
not from any i'll will to Mr.. and Mrs. W., who had
always treated him kindly, to the baby, but sim
ply from hatred TO the servant girl, with whom he
had some trivial quarrel, and on whom he hoped
the suspicion of committing the crime would fall.
He owned also to having taken and destroyed by
burning Them some valuable articles of clothing,
which had disappeared from time to time expecting
that the girl would be charged with the theft He
was Immediately arraigned before the Court in
sion at the time, plead guilty, and sentenced to
eight years Imprisonment, Judge POLLARD very pro-
perly adding to the sentence lecture upon the in
conceivable heartlessness and depravity which
could induce wicked deed.

police of Memphis has been attracted to a well

the police and few knowing ones. The Occupa-

has been that of a gambler and sport" around
town, visiting the course during the past week
betting pretty freely, and generally the winner,

charge by couple of the stars, and arriving at
the jail their suspicious were fully verified by the
partys confessing to the charge stating that it
