Distressing occurrence.

--A little son of James McCrone, residing in Baltimore county, Md., met with a most untimely death a few days since. His mother administered what she supposed to be a dose of calomel. Immediately afterwards the child was seized with the most violent spasms, and to the mother's heartrending astonishment, she discovered that she had given strychnine to her child.--The little sufferer only survived about twenty minutes. The feelings of the distressed parents can be better imagined than described.--A bright and intelligent child thus to be cut off, is surely heartrending in the extreme.
