MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT Lam

delpllia on Sunday, by the intelligence of unOr
tunae occurrence al Lancaster, between Mr.. r..
w. Middleton the Editor of the Lancaster Exam
lner. and Mr.. James Cameron, the Superintendent
Of the Philadelphia Rail Road.
The parties, Messrs. G.. and NJ, met accidental
ly at the house Of thild person in Lancaster.
where an angry dispute took place. A scene of
personal violence was only prevented there, by the
interference ola gentleman of the house, whl re-
cognized Mr.. Middleton as his guest & hence avow
cd his determination 10 protect him from insult,
while under his roof.
Mr.. Middleton then proceeded to his office, fol-
lowed by the other, and as WAS believed, with evil
dent intention OF attempting 10 assault the Editor,
Thus situated, Mr.. Middleton provided himself
with pistol and discharged il his antagonist,
while the latter was in the act OF striking him. The
womb is said to be severe, but a hope is indnged
that ii will not prove fatal. The ball has been ex
tracred.
The Philadelphia United States Gazette of yester-
day says: I'VE learned, last night, that Mr.. Cam
dead"
From other accounts, should Judge that the
wound is not serious might be apprehended from

survive its effects
The parties in this affair are Of different politics

out other different party attachments. This being
promised, the difficulty OF arriving at tfue under
standing OF the merits OF the csse, from the various
accounts put forth will be al once understood. This
may be safely assumed. that the statements pro and

POETRY.
SONG,

WRITTEN BY WIN. HAYDEN, IN. ESQ.,, OF Bosros,
And sung at the Centennial Celebration at Barnsii
Bile on Tuesday last.
Tune Yankee Doodle.
Our Pilgrim Fathers started of,
Two hundred years ago, sir =
To seek their fortunes DER the sea,
And anchored down below, sir;
And, rs they had no other food,
CONSIDERED worth the dishing,
They got their sinkers, hooks and lines,
And went right out a fishing.
Chorus Yankee Doodle, keep 1t up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
AT catching fish, or sailing ships,
Our Cape men are right handy.
They pulled the Cod and Haddock In,
And fshed without rod sir
And, for the FIRST big fish they caught,
They called the Cape CARE Con-" SIR
And, as they had amazing luck,
The fishing was so handy,
They thought they'd settle on the Cape,
Although twas rather sandy.
And, though our sand won't raise much grass,
II renders US some service
II is the sand which makes the glass
That's made by Deming Jarvis.
The Oyster-beds around our Shoes
They serve to make the land rich
East-Aam and Chatham are as good
As any hams for Sandwich.
IT'S truly wonderful, I'm sure,
can't tell how II happens
We furnish all our Ships with mates,
And almost all your Cap'ins.
Yon can't expect much wealth down here
We lives by waves and surges-
But yet, sometimes, a Cape Cod boy,
Gets rich like WILLIAM SrUaois.
To trace your debt to old Cape Cod,
II needs no brush or pallet
There's DIMMocK, GRAY, and TEACHER too,
The SEARsEs and GgoRGE HALLET.
Some service we have done the State
From US you get your law, sir
There's Mr.. BAssETT, he's your clerk,
And there's CHIEF JUSTICE SHAW, sir.
There are as good fish in the sea,
As from il e'er were Graw'd sir
And so, we've some as good men Left
As those who've gone abroad, sir. .s
Among the nice men left behind,
OF MARsToN's, we've two brothers-
The SwiFTs, the CRocKERs, and the CoBBs,
And yet host Of others.
Our lot is something like Lots wife,
When on this spot we halt sir,
Our only monument must be
A pillar of good salt, sir e..
Your richer lands, and fertile soils,
We will not waste wish on
We find our own quite good enough
For us to dry our fish on.
When we get through our toasts and songs,
Wen go to tother Hall, sir
We mean to finish Off The thing,
BY giving you Ball, sir;
And Il the Cape Girls want 10 dance;
ILL morn puts out the taper,
Let every Cape man show that he -s-
Is ready for Caper.
Chorns-Yankee Doodle, keep il up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Atcatching hearts, and keeping them
Our Cape girls are right handy.
