ATTEMPT TO Poison A CHILD.-A few days
since MIR. Richard w. Cochran near Odessa,
came near losing an infant child in the follow
ing manner: At the usual time for retiring
at night, Mr.. Cochran and his wife went up
stairs and left the child asleep in the cradle in
care the negro girl until its mother pre- red
herself for bed. In little while she called to
the nurse TO bring up the infant, who did so,
aud when it was handed to its mother she at
once detected a strong smell of landnnum aud
saw some stains on the chid's dress. She at
once asked the girl if she had given the child
laudauum, but this was positively denied. MIR.
Cochran then went down stairs and examined
the phial which contained the laudanum and
discovered that the cork and the lip of the phial
were wet as if the contents had been poured
out. messenger was at once despatched for
physician who, on arriving, discovered that
the laudanum had been administered to the
child, but by applying the proper remedies its
life was saved. We have not learned what
was done with the girl.-COmmOnw weGIth.
HIGH HANDED DEFIANCE OF LAw.-.On Fri
day afternoon last, an injunction issued by
Chancellor Harrington, was served on Wood,
Eddy g. Co., to restrain them, their agents,
and all concerned, from Drawing the Delaware
Lottery, of which they are the managers. 10
defiance of the injunction SO served on them
they went on with the drawing, thereby set
ting the Chancellor and the laws of the State
at defiance.
Chancellor Harrington. we presume, will
not overlook the offence. This is the frs
time to our knowledge that mandate, the
highest known to the laws of this State, ha
been disregarded.
Of the merits of the case we know nothing
but judging from the high character of tn
Chancellor, suppose he has acted with ful
knowledge of the facts, and a conviction tha
the case justified an immediate Injunction
Republican.

TIE BEERIEs.--Ihe cranberry .fu-

rush is over, and our streets present q
more cheerful aspect. Many of our
citizens still remain on the marshes,
picking from one to three bushels per
day. The number Of bushels gathered
is estimated at ten thousand, with as
many more wasted and destroyed--
Certainly we have been favored the
present season with bountiful crops of
natures spontaneous products. Our
wilds have teemcd with burdens of
black and red raspberries, blackberries,
and whortleberrics, and our marshes
