ANOTHER TRAGEDY-A FATHER
SHOT By HIS SON.

The New Haven Courier Of Monday
states on the authority OF letter re
ceived on Saturday night from West
brook (Iormerlya part OF Seybrook) on
Connecticut river, that a fearful TRACE
DIV occurred in that town on Friday
evening Mr., John SiannNrd, Jr, a
wealthy aud highly respectable lOrmer
in that town, about fifty years ol age,
who has a wife and two children, was
deliberately shot while Ot the supper
table, by his own son!
The family wore thus occupied, when
AlpheuS Slannard, about "a years OF
age, went into his chamber somewhat
abruptly, and as subsequently, appeared
loaded his gun. John, the younger son,
expressed soma apprehension to the
father, aud said that he was fearful that
Alpheus was abOGt TO do something
wrong, perhaps shoot some one. When
he came 10 the room with the gun in hls
hand. John left the room. The father
rose from the table and approached him
with some exclamation OF surprise, ap
parondy for the purpose Of seizng thu
weapon. Alpheus immediately levelleC
the musket and shot his tnlher directly
in the breast, the ball passing throOgl
and coming out of his back. He live

We copy from The Summit Beacon an
article under the above caption, which
we endorse as genuine. Perhaps, the
proposition, that every lawyer looks 10
a Iu6goship as the grand object which is
ultimately to satisfy all his professional
aspirations, is stated TOO broadly. Ne
vertbeless, the remarks Of the Beacon,
taken altogether, are just and true5 and
they are, in all respects, as applicable
to this Judicial circuit, as 10 any other
in the State. The paragraph from the
Cincinnati Gazslte, upon which the edi
tor of the Beacon comments, first met
our eve in the OHIO Repository; and !,
we must confess, we were not a little
surprised 10 perceive the views OF The
Gazette thus tacl;(y approved by our
much respected & very judicious friend,
Sax,on. We do not mean 10 say that
The Gazette article is not susceptible oil
satisfactory explanation; but we do
saw, it was uncaled for and illtimed.-
No one knows better than the editors oI
the Gazette and Repository, that Tor
years past, the patronage Of the Bench
! in this State, has been distributed with
an eye single to party purposes; and tc
such an extent has this odious system
been carried, that almost every Clerk
Office in Ohio, has become a LocoIoct
Caucus room. To keep in power The
very men who have contributed all they
could to bring about this state Of things
would be ruinous, nay, suicidal. Wisel
councils, we hope, will prevail; and w
hope too, that no one will be iIlibera
enough 10 attribute to us improper mo-
,lvOs in thus referring 10 this subject.

TIE GERMANS AND IRISH

A number Of our exchanges have spo.
ken IL high terms of the conduct Of the
lrishmen and Germans Of Ohio al the
late election. Heretofore this class OF
adopted citizens have generally voted
with our opponents; but this fall, II
seems, they united with the Wings, in
various counties, and assisted in the
overthrow Of the Bank Destructlves.-
Here. in Muskingum, a number OF Ger
mans and irish (for the first lime) acted
with the Wings and did good service in
the cause Of the country. In this town
ship, particularly, are we indebted to
them for increasing our heretofore large
majority; and when the Whig party gel

that they assisted in restoring the coun-
trV once more to prosperity Ohio Re

There will bs an unusually large POr.
ton of new members We hear almost
every day, the question asked, 'whe will

hesitation 10 giving it as our individual
opinion that, out Of The whole roll oI

made than John NJ Gallagher, ESQ the

served heretofore, both as Clerk OF the

we'll vsrsod 10 the rules Of order-is

quick perception-is, wilhal, strictl v
