A Big CHILp.-We yesterday saw one
of the greatest curiosities that was ever
beheld in this neighborhood, in the shape
of tremendous big child, nine years Of
age, and weighing two hundred and thirty
six pounds This extraordinary child is
stopping at Lutz's tavern, and is the
daughter of Mrs Molisena Koltner, and
was born on Captina Creek, near the Ohio
River. about twenty miles below this city.
The mother of the child is widow, and
since coming to the city has been induced
to exhibit the child next week at Lafayette
Hall. !. Esquire Powell, who resided on the
Captina, and who is an old and respecta
BILE, citizen, .certlfies that, to his certain
knowledge, the child is only nine, years
old, so that there can be no humbug about
it, IFheeling LatelHycncer. eos 1.ge 4.l

A WOFUL BALLAD.


THE SUDDEN RISE AND SINGULAR DEATH
OF the LOYALTY OF SENATOR cOBB.
When first this mournful war b~gan
Within the State there was no man
So fast and furious for the war,
Who snuiied the battle quite 50 far,
As the Senator from Lawrence.
lie raved aud cursed the rebel host,
And, all unmindful what it cost,
Declared q Union must I've mended,
Though every rebel life was ended,
And blood should Cow in torrents.
He voted all appropriations
To pay for uniforms and rations,
To give the soldiers paw aud bounty,
And wage the war in Martin county
With vigorous prosecution.
In fiery speech he led debate,
In words Of bitterness and hate
Reviled the rebels here At home,
Pronounced their quick and dreadful doom,
With desrCrat elOcutiOn.
He swore that Bingham was a fool,
A vile and dirty reUel tool,
Given TO - stretching" and detraction,
In which he took great satisfaction,
And also took state Paper"
But time wore or, and Cobb wore out,
Turned outside in, and faced about.
Looked grave, looked wise and then looked
Turned knave and rebel sympathizer;
In short, became a traitor.
Alas! that Cobb is wholly shelled,
A "nubbin " without grains;
Against his country he rebelled,
And knocked out all his brains.
MORAL.
Take warning here, my loyal friend,
For this man may be your end;
Stand by your country and her cause,
Stand by your country and her laws,
Nor let some promised recompense
Destroy VOW honor md your sense.
