ELECTION WIT.—At the late Philadelphic election, a voter
was challenged for not being "naturalized. '—" A pretty objec-
tion to a true Yankee," he replied;_ "but are you naturalized-
yourself ?"—" Yes, sir."—" Well you are not civilized by a
considerable majority, I reckon."
The_ earl of Carlisle, with his accustomed liberality, caused
upwards of 100 cart loads of coal to be distributed on New
N ear's Day, among the poor housekeepers in Brampton, a very
acceptable gift at this season.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—The business for the week at the Cloth
Halls has been considerable, and the prospects of the woollen
cloth trade are cheering. Moderate sales have also been effected':
in finished goods. We are informed that the,East India com-
pany have given out orders for 'ladies' cloths, and a large one
for military goods, a fair portion of which has reached this dis-
trict. Ossett and -Rawden, in consequence, are experiencing
some activity.—Halifax Guardian.

A most horrifying accident has just occurred in •Bonmahon
in consequence of the incautious handling of fire-arms. A ser-
vant of Dr. il.akers was .endeavouring to draw a ramrod out of
one of the barrels of a gun, the otheibarrel-b.eing loaded; the .
ramrod had stuck fast, when the servant, with strange temerity,
caug/atit mith.his teeth, and was trying to drag it out, when this
other barrel went and literally lieW the unfortunate man's

The SWAN RIVER. Fremantle Observer. contains the following
statement of the murder of one of the settlers by the natives,
as related by. Dr. Langley :—" On the. morning of the.l4th of
June, several natives visited Gaze's hut, and were supplied by
him, as on previous occasions, with biseint and flour • but they
appeared dissatisfied with the quantity, and loitered the
premises for some time. At length about 30 natives surrounded -
the hut, and intercepted the retreat of Gaze, who was occupied
in clearing the ground ahead 300 yards from it. The first spear
thrown killed a dog, and it was instantly drawn from the.animal
and hurled at Gaze, who cried out to a boy, of the name of
Thomas, ' Save yourself,' I ant a dead man.' Thomas reached
the •opposite side of •the liver, and, on turning round, he saw a '
native wrench a spear front another's hand, advance within 2)
yards, and threw it with most determined aim. This brought-
Gaze to the ground. •After this a general attack was made upon
him, and.about 13 or 14 spears were extracted from his body.
The boy proceeded to the soldiers' bivouac at Keinascott, and'
on their proceeding Gaze was found lying under a bank near
the river. The spears were cut off, as it was impossible to move
him without it, and he was then carried to • helinscott.. The
most dangerous wound appeared to have been occasioned by,
Gaze throwing his arin up to protect his face, a spear having:
penetrated immediately under the low.er edge of the tendon of
the pectoral muscle, and entered the chest -between the second'
and third ribs, in depth about eight inches. When this and
three Other spears were extracted, the patient expressed himself ,
easier, and the symptoms on the 16th were highly favourable ;
but in the course of the evening .mortification ensued, and he
died at midnight. He was perfectly sensible to the last, and
seelfonilsltant
eye, •
made his will. He stated that he had not in any -way irritated
the natives, that he had not the least apprehension of an attack,
as he had been left alone for several days, and the natives dur-
ing that time were in the habit of visiting him. During the
night the natives returned and plundered the hut of fire-arms,
shot, powder, wheat, &c. This event had naturally alarmed
the settlers on the Canning.
LOVE SCENE.—Rose Brady was in great trouble. There
was one who; were he at hand, she-was certain olcoramandiag..
But she knew that William Duncan had gone twenty miles
from home' the morning after their last interview. A rapid
step approached the door, and some one knocked smartly at
it—some one ? did Rose, in her mind, say ' some one ?' No,
indeed ; she knew well whose foot it was, and in a few seconds
the .heavy bar was removed from the doof, and the object of
her thoughts bounded over the threshold. Ile took the hand
of welcome which was extended to him;' he took—we may teti
this time—more than that ; in fact, he embraced his betrothed
mistress more earnestly than he had ever before done; and with
a peculiar expression, too, of cherishing her, of solacing her,
and of condonng with her ; which did honour to his manly and
disinterested love. ' You look terribly heated and fatigued,
dear William,' said Rose, as they sat-down together at the fire.
Twenty long miles since five.o'clock, Rose • and the worst: of .
the journey to me was, that-every mile seemed ten.'. ' Twenty
miles since five o'clock! you do not mean :a-foot ?" But 1
de, though; My horse was laid up; .1 couldn't get another at
hand; and I wouldn't stay away from you one moment," Wh3,.
,you must have run the whole way, poor boy !—an' so, Willian.,
" An' so, Rose, I am here to stand by you, my own
Rose, against the wide world! and, if livin' crature can do it,
to bung your poor father an' our poor brother home to von
again, an soon.' "Tis like you, William dear.' Oh, Wise,
when I heard this evening for the first time, that misfortune
was undher your roof the last five days, I thought my senses
would fail me ! Rose will say lam careless of her sorrow, was
my first thought; and my foot never rested since, till I stood
an' knocked at your dour:" I wouldn't have opened the dour
at your knock, -William, this time o' the night, an' I sittin'
alone, if I had that opinion of you.' Well, an' somehow I
guessed as much; for, along the read, either the first dhrer el
went off, I reasoned with myself, and said, ' supposin' I was in
-her case, would Rose grow cold or careless to me ?"At,'
.what answer did you make yourself, William ?" No, I saie,
Rose.• would not neglect me only for being in misfortune.'
' And, indeed, you answered well for me. hut, my- poor boy,
you are.weary, an' you are hungry an' thirsty • we must loot
afther a bit an' a ken! for you; an' you won't ehink the worse

o' your little supper because Rose's hand sets it down before
you.' There was something done in consequence of ' this
little speech ; and then Rose stood. up and busied herself at her
self-imposed task. . Her stock of provisions was not very ex-
tensive. She had, however, a larg howl-full of eggs: :and at
the very top of the beep were three, in paitieular, marked with
a cross. in ink, to denote that they hid been laid. that day ; and
these, previous to the entrance of 'William Duncan, Rose had
destined for her father's breakfast next morning. Now she
took them out of the bowl, and put them on the.table ; a little
qualm of conscience smote her—was she about to prefer
another person's comfort to that of her father? Filial affection'
guided her hand to the matchless three, and one.of them was,
restored to the bOwl ; but love lifted up her arm, and the two.
others were dressed for her visitor. Nay, the triumphant little
deity was not satisfiedwith his sacrifice ; he actually made Rose.
half skim the bowl of milk which had been set to provide
cream fer Randal. Brady's breakfast; and the spoil of the
larceny. was given to*Willia.m Duncan. Whether by accident
or design, Rose was further able to set before her hungry
lover, bread manufactured by her own hand, and, as she wed,
knew, exactly to his taste in certain particulars; and.kiekeen'
butter, and plain butter, she also placed at his disposal. In.
tea Rose was an epicure ; and to crown William's repast, sli:.
had produced some of so rare a quality, that it perfttunaendlhtt;
