"a SINGULAR FAcr.--The peach
was originally poisoned almond.
It's Aeshy parts were used to poison
arrows, and its fruit was for this

We take the above from the Wa
vrly Mdgasiae Of the S0th of JAN
uary, 1859. We have often heard
II said that The planting Of . peach
stone here would produce the
almond, such as may be seen in the
custom house grounds on this island
and in several Of the yards occu-
pied by citizens.
We are willing to be qualified on
oath that eighteen months ago we
planted two peach stones as an ex-
pertinent for raising the peach on
this island, and now we have in lieu
OF the peach the coarse, hard-stone
almond, similar to those above
mentioned. We are not aware Of
any poisonous qualities in this
almond, although we have heard d
children having died firm the effects
Of eating them, which might have
occurred from eating almost amy
other green fruit in excess. W.
have eaten the fruit ourself without
ever having been poisoned. Can

In the death of this lovely young Christian, our
Church and community feel that we have sustained
a severe loss. The daughter of Presbyterian min
lister, dedicated to God in infancy, and trained up
in the nurture and admontion of the Lord she early
gave evidence of heart under the influence of di-
vine grace. Nearly three years ago she made pub
lie profession of her faith in Christ, and until her
death ever maintained consistent Christian walk,
one prominent feature of which was punctuality in
her private devotions. She possessed many quail
ties of mind and heart that endeared her to her
friends. Her intellectual powers were far above
the ordinary grade; her mind was well balanced
