the following particulars:
The notorious Colonel Potter, of North
Carolina, is no more. The Caddo Ga
zette gives the following particulars of
his death, which was caused by his being
shot with his own gun. Rose, the man
who shot him, was at one time his dear
est friend, but they fell out about piece
of land widow of Roses brother settled
on, which Potter claimed. After his re-
turn from Congress, Potter, with party
of men went to Roses house, to take him
and chastise, probably, TO kill him, but
he managed TO escape. Rose determined
to do the same TO Potter. The Gazette +:
account of the affair continues:
On the morning of the lst instant, the
party of Rose reached the house Of Pot

eral of Potter's friends remained with
HIM that night, and as they came to the
stable in the morning to feed their hors-
es they were seized one by one, and put
under such durance, as to be unable to
give any alarm. In this manner they
succeeded in capturing six. As the sew
enth man came out he escaped Rose and
attempted to return to the house, but be-
fore be could reach it, the contents of a
double barrel shot gun were poured into
his back and be fell. The noise of the
gun was the first intimation Of the enemy
that Potter had. He sprang from MS
couch, seized his gun and his night
clothes and rushed from the house. For
about two hundred yards his speed seem
ed to defy his pursuers, but getting en-
tangled in thicket, he was captured.
Rose told him that he intended to act
a generous part, and give him a chance
for his life. He then told Potter he
might run, and he should not be inter
rupted till he reached a certain distance
Potter started at the word of command
and before gun was fired he had reach
ed the lake. His first impulse was tc
Jump in the water and dive for it, which
he did. Rose was close behind him
and formed his men on the bank ready
10 shoot him as he rose. In few Sc
cOnds he came up to breathe, and scare,
had his head reached the surface of thu
water when it was completely riddleC
with the shot Of their guns, and he sunl

MR.. SAMPsON'S HOUSE.

"Once upon a time" queer old fellow
named Smith, started from Southern
city upon pedestrian excursion Of about
one hundred miles He was not very
old fellow, either. He was about forty
years older than he was when born
This Mr.. Smith. was not connected with
the John Smith family in the most re-
mote degree-was man Of many pccu-
liarities. If absolute stupidity did not
from prominent trait in his character,
1t was quality which very much re-
sembled stupidity, and might easily be
mistaken for it, by at least one half the
world. He had always manifested a
singular abstraction, generally described
as absence of mind, and would frequent
ly roam about the streets an entire day
without recognizing one of his numerous
friends, apparently without being aware
OF the nature of his movements.
This was Mr.. Smith. We were say
ing that Mr.. Smith started upon jour-
ney, on the "ten-toed machine" spoken

which looked as though it was just
about half tavern-for drink. A
good natured young fellow waited uPor
him, brought his brandy and water, and
In addition, furnished him with bit o
bread and cheese. All this was decided
~ welcome and refreshing. After Mr.
Smith had quenched his thirst and salts
he'd the slight cravings of appetite, n
recommended his travels. AS ne LETT tn

thought he might Walk two or tire
hours longer before he stopped for din
ner. His road seemed to be very leve
and was skirtedon one side with an vi
commonly high fence. On he footed

glance at the position of the sun satisfe
him he had better secure his noonda

snake has such dislike for the tree
called ''prickly-ash," that if hunter
will confine a few of the leaves about
his ieggins, be need apprehend no dan

it is said if a snake is surrounded by
sticks from the bush, he will never at
tempt to cross them. BY the presenta

ately becomes languid and docile, as il

throw himself on his back and feigr

EFFECTs OF POVERTY.

Poverty has no heavier eyilin its train
than that ofperverting the fairest gifts of
our nature from their true channel,mak
ing the brightest sides of our character
dark, gloomy, and repulsive. Thus the
high souled pride that in our better days
sustains and keeps US far above the
reach of sordid thoughts and unwor-
thy actions, becomes, in the darker hour
of our destiny, misanthropic selfshness,
in which we wrap ourselves as in man
tie. The caresses of friendship, the
warm affections of domestic love, cannot
penetrate through this; even sympa-
thy becomes suspected, and then COM
mences that terrible struggle against the
world, whose only termination is bro
ken heart.

ls here in loneliness stand,
nd muse beside my sisters grave.
sisters grave! All, who can tell
thoughts that through my bosom swell
naming one who was SO dear,
lille mournfully linger round
i spot of consecrated ground,
And feel that now she slumbers here?
i Years have passed-fve changing years
snc. here, beneath this twilight shade,
ith broken signs and gushing tears,
That sisters lovely form was laid;
Ne changing years! yet even now
gaze, as then, upon her brow,
Ind seem to hear low soft voice,
Which bids my very heart rejoice;
Ind then l start, and weep to find
j That that which blessed my ear and eye
Mas but a vision of the mind
! The echo of a voice gone by;
for here see the long grass wave
Sadly above my sisters grave!
Net there is beauty here: the bee
HUNS sweetly through the summer hours,
And the soft breezes wander free
Mid bursting leaves and budding flowers;
And on the air is borne along
The lonely wood-bird's pensIve song,
While the mild sunlight, like spell,
SIumbers upon each Hill and dell.
What wonder, then, that to my heart
This grave, which in such beauty lies,
Where Earth and Heaven their charms impair
Should seem the gate Of Paradise,
Where Faith, with her sweet smile of love,
Points to the glorious heavens above?
And often thus to this lone glen
Twill with thoughtful footsteps turn,
Far from the busy haunts of men,
The purposes Of life to learn;
Till, laid beside my sisters grave,
The same long grass o'er both shall wave.
