Beaver, Pen. January 26.

On the 9th inst. two brothers, by the name
Of English, near Big Beaver, in this county,
went in pursuit of wolf, but not being
successful in their search, returned in the
evening to the house of one of the brothers,
who wa. in the act Of putting up his gun,
when it went off, and shocking to relate,
killed his brother on the spot, and wounded
his wife and two children The gun was
loaded with FIVE bullets, two Of which passed
through the head and neck OF the deceased.
The woman was shot through the body, and
the ball lodged in the opposite side, and one
OF her arms broken and shattered in such a
manner as to render amputation necessary ::
il is doubtful whether she will recover. One
of the children had its fingers shot off the
hand, and the other wounded in the head,
supposed not mortal.
The above is solemn warning to those
who are fond of the chase, the sports OF the
field, or who are in the habit OF using or ex.
ercising with fire arms.

Washington. February Q.

The topic which may be said. from
its aIl-prrvading influence, to be the
only one before Congress. yesterday
occupied the whole attention of the
House of Representatives. The pro-
ceedings we're of great interest. Mr..
Sergeant. who is justly regarded as the
head of the party opposed to the admis
sion of Missouri. laid before the com
mittce of the whole his projet, which
was, to pass over the subject wholly at
the present session, leaving it to be de-
cided by the next Congress. 1t was
also intimated by MIR. S. that. when
the present objection to the recognition
Of the state of Missouri was disposed
of. the question wnriG then present
Itself, whether or not Congress was
bound, by the act of the last SEES
sion, to admit Missouri into the Union
without the restriction then proposed
to be imposed upon her, requiring the
inhibition nf slavery.
We shalt make an effort to lay the
Proceedings on this subject before our
readers at an early day. 1t is from Il
full account only, that any just idea Of
them can be formed. The house is
