You're too late for Pennsylvaay"
AIR-Old Dan Tucker.
The moon was up, and bright as day,
The stars they winked in their quiet way.
But very sick beast was the I" same old Coon -
For the west wind whisIled this bran-new-tune-
Get ont o. the way you coon-skin zany,
You're too late for PennsYlVany
The Coon had hep'd that the Jersey Blues
Would tickle his nose with some Wholesome news
Bot his heart grew sad, and his tale fell off,
For the news 1t gave him church yard cough
Ger out o. the way, &c.
80 over the river that same old Coon"
He jumped, like thief to cut dirt" tune,
Stopped up his ears-put snuff in his snout-
Dull music TO him was that terrible shout
Get out o. the way, &c.
Then he laughed ha ! ha for his Coonship said,
The 'KeystoAe' sleeps. and it thinks me dead,
Huzza for the Dutch =" but a dismal moan
From his friend this side made his CoonshiT
groan-
Get out o. the way, etc.
So the Coon lay down, and his voice got wheesy,
His face grew pale, and his stomach uneasy;
he heaVed, ne kicked, he attempted to boast
But the winds siM shrieked as be threw up the
ghost
Get out o. the way, etc.

1t is supposed That William H. Shell
ton Of Brandon Bank notoriety, has drown.
ed himself. A part Of his clothes, his
watch, &c, was found day or two ago
on the bank of Pearl River, opposite 10
jackson, on a spot which presented the
appearance of PERSONS having slid down
its banks. A letter was also found on
the spot directed to William R. Crane.
Esq, Of Brandon, and written by Mr.. Shell.
ton, which letter states that Shelton had
borrowed from Mr.. Crane, about S., 900;
that he had used the money for the pur.
pose Of assisting Graves the Treasurer
when the examination Of his Office came
on that he was unable afterwards 10 re-
turn the money. It also appears that
Shelton, upon bis examination before the
court, on Graves trial, had sworn that he
did not know of Graves having borrowed
money to put in the Treasury, and that
Mr.. Crane had threatened to prosecute
him Isl for perjury unless he refunded to
him. These things are gathered from
the letter itself, which states further. that
Shelton intended, in view Of the circum-
stances TO commi, suicide.
It's suspected by muny here, that he is
not dead. but has gone off to share the
spoiIs Of The Treasury with Graves.
The above facts were stated to US by
several gentlemen from jackson today.
