POISONED BY JASMINES.-On yesterday, a little daughter of Dr. Wm. G. Phillips, Isabel Phillips, aged eighteen months, died from the effects of poison. The child was in full health, but happened to get hold of a few yellow jasmine flowers which it eat, and which caused death, notwithstanding the most active remedies were immediately administered. Dr. Phillips resides near the Arsenal and has but recently made this county his home. His sad bereavement should be a warning to parents and cause them to keep their children out of reach of these dangerous flowers.-Chronicle & Sentinel, 29th.
