POISONING CASE IN ANNE ARUNDEL County,
About fourteen months ago Mr.. Samuel Carr,
planter, residing in the West River neighborhood,
died after a long and singular illness. At times he
would appear entirely recovered, but would soon
after relapse. This continued at intervals until he
died. At the time, no suspicion of foul play was
entertained. Recently, however, his only child
Miss Julia Carr, has been sick with similar symp-
toms. 1t was noticed that whenever she eft home
after one OF the usual attacks, her health was good
but so soon as she returned she would again be at
tackled in similar manner. This led to suspicion
that she had been poisoned and also that her father
had died from a similar cause His body was ex-
humed by Drs Arthur Brogden and Joseph r.
Owens, under the direction of Coroner's jury
The body was found entirely decOmposed, with the
exception of the vscera, which were found in A.
condition of perfect preservation. This condition
being usual result of administering arsenic, the
Jury order ed the arrest of two negro women house
servants at present, and at the time of Mr.. Carrs
death. The viscera were sent to Baltimore for
chemical examination. We learn that the negroes
belonging to Mr.. Carrs estate were to have been
free, by his will, nine years after his DEATH if his
daughter survived him so long; otherwise to be
free at her death. Their freedom at the death of
Mr.. and Miss Carr is alleged as the motive for the
nefarous conduct of the negroes. We believe there

A SINGULAR NoTIoN.-The head of celebrated
mercantile house in Vienna has recently erected a
mausoeum which no one, of his most init
mate friends, is allowed to enter. The walls are
covered with black velvet, upon which appear the
family arms of the proprietor. Upon platform
slightly elevated stands open coffin, candles of
black at its four corners At the foot of the
coffin is plate of silver, on which name and
date of birth of the future occupant of the
abode, and space has been left for the date of his
death, and this he evidently expects within the
coming ten years-for he has completed the record
as far as 1856. Daily he is accompanied by his
friends to the door of this tomb; there he leaves
them, enters alone into the edce, lies down in his
coffin, and causes a concealed organ to play lugu-
again, dimes heartily, and converses with a gaiety
of manner which charms all his guests.

and the delegates in which, when it comes to close
contest, sell their votes to the highestbdd can
didate. The greatest swndle and humbug of the

One of the most singular wagers we ever
heard Of says the Buffalo Courier, was made in
Chicago, on the day before the municipal cleo
ton in that city. The bet was between Wa
ter-street merchant and Ned Osborne, of the
fremont House, the largest cigar and tobacco
dealer in the city, and was to the effect that if
Wentworth was not elected, Osborne should
have the privilege of kicking the Water'street
merchant aforesaid from the fremont House TO
Springer street. The day after the election,
the merchant having lost, came to Osborns
store, and presented his person to him for the
contemplated kicks, and demanded that os-
borne had been training his right leg all the
previous day, and had armedshis foot with a
heayey cowhide boot, with soles as thick as
two clapboards. The merchant started up by
the fremont, Osborne delivering heavy kick
as he started but drew back his foot with "A
spasmodic action and paroxysm circumference
absolutely pitiful. He tried another one, but
the loser fiinched not, and kept on his way I'M
disturbed by the volly he had received. The
result of this was worse than the first, and he
fairly curled up ON the ground and howled with
pain. The merchant stopped and calmly in
quired: "Why don't you take the stakes p
