"Of all the seasons, Spring is the
most delightful. Nature is.as it were
then beginning to receive existence.
The bowling storms of desola'e win
ter are gone and forgotten! The mild
serenity Of the morning, the gradual
advances of vegetation, and the chan.
ging appearance Of the whole face of
things, accompanied by the harho-
NOUS confusion of the singing OF birds
heard on every side, convey to the
transported Imagination, pleasure
which the mind can scarcely conceive.
Not only birds and animals. but even
inanimate creation, seem to rejoice IN
something like that universal Joy ex-
pressed on the appearance of the hrst
spring, when "the morning stars sang
together, and all the sons Of God shout
ed for Joy" The music Of the groves
the roaring of the tempest-the 'trI-
king colors of the living landscape
the Immense circle of hsaven-the
boundl extent Of ocean-comprehend
all that is great, sublime, glorious, or
magnificent; and sink into the soul
with Irresistible power"

.Accidents.-As young man named Viii
liam Christie, in Baltimofe, was cleaning his
gun on Monday morning, the 18th inst. intend
ing to it the day following, the piece ac-
cideutally went of and the contents lodged in
the neck of his mother, who Immediately ex-
PRED. The young man was not aware that
the gun was loaded. The coroner's inquest
returned a verdict that they believed the
woman came 10 her death by being accident
ally shot with rife by William Christie, her
son. The ball entered inst below her left ear
and passing out behind the right ear.
Another iamonsable occurrence Of a similar
nature took place in Pennsylvania, on the 18th
ult. man named Elisha billiard, accident
ally shot his brother when on hunting party
for deer in a neighbouring lick. The deceas-
ed had sat down in the bushes convenient to the
lick, and had fallen asleep he awoke about
dusk, and was creeping through the bushes to
the lick; his brother, Elisha, had come to the
same lick, on the same GRAND, and hearing
the noise in the bushes, and seeing, as he sup
posed, deer, Isaac having on red Jacket,
fired his rifle; his feelings aud astonishment
can be more easily conceived than described,
to find, that instead of deer. he had shot his
brother. The bullet passed through his
shoulder, and is supposed to have lodged on
one of his ribs. Some hopes are entertained
Of his recovery.
