Fatal and Distressing Occurrence.

We find in the Baltimore Sun the particulars
of most deplorabie accident which occurred
at Centrevile Anne Arundel county, from a
foolish tampering with loaded firearms. In
consequence Of an attempt come time since to
rob the store of Messrs. Arthur Emory g. Com

protection a large horse pistol had been very hen
Willy loaded and deposited in the store. On Tues
day last, young man, about l6 years OF age,
named Daniel Newman, son of Mr.. Daniel
Newman Sr., lumber merchant wealthy and
most highly respectable citizen of that place,
being in the store, took up the pistol, and on
doing SO was warned not to touch it, as 1t was
very heavily loaded. lie remarked, however,
TINT it was not primed and on attempting to
cock it, found it would not yield. lie then

O5- Many of our Wing friends are prone TO
find fault with the Democratic Press, for what
they term their vulgarites and personalities. We
have always avoided such a course, not only be-
cause it is useless and improper, but because it
is degrading to the dignity and character of
gentleman, and no one but a gentleman in the
true sense of the term, should be permitted to
control public Press The Whg Press have,
however, nothing to complain of, on this score.
They are certainly greatly in advance especial
ly in the country OF their democratic brethren
in the nse of epithets and low personalities The
Miltonan, for instance, we understand, has been
highly commended of late for its pure and classic
taste and the elegance and finish of its editorial.
The eulogist, no doubt, had in his minds eye the
following chaste and classic sentence, which we
extract from the last number OF that paper
"Polkats may scatter their lies around them
as much as they please, an honest and intelligent
community will know what credit TO accord
them
., The unlettered democracy may not be able to
appreciate its beauties, but they will not fail tc
feel the pungency of its satire and the keenness

grain so low Wheat has been selling at Balti
more from 20 TO so cts for inferior. Pennsyl-
crops as being generally good but this is found
to be with many exceptions. In Perry county
there is scarcely any good wheat, nearly all of
it having been injured by rust. This is the case
in many counties. In Ohio, it is said, the crops
have been much injured. The grain is small and
light. No samples have yet been offered at Gin
cinnati, that would command more than so cts.

supplied by our own people, in the most ample

further importation OF clocks, chairs, brooms and

are roaming about the country in search Of EN-.

our native agriculture, the Americans have the
privilege Of serving us not only in the capacity
of butchers, bakers, cheesemongers, and the

"HERMrrAGE, JUNE %, lSii.

Gentlemen II feel honored by the very flat
terng terms in which you have been pleased to
invite me to partake of the celebration Of the
next 18th of July, with the Democratic citizens
of Berks county, at the Mineral Spring, near
Reading. Ifmy health allowed me 10 follow my
inclination | should certainly accept this invi-
taton for there is no portion of my country
men for whom feel greater respect or for
whom would make greater sacrifices, than the
old. incorruptible, and lion hearted democracy
of Berks county. The steadfast and enlightened
support which they have always given TO the
cause of freedom, shows that they understand
the true principles embodied in the Declaration
of American Independence. But. gentlemen,
have not strength 10 perform the journey, and
must therefore beg you to accept my congratula-
ton conveyed in this imperfect manner, on the
/ Joyous occasion which will convene so many pa

/ must add that it would give me increased

friend HESRY A. MruLENBEEG. He was the
representative of Berks county in Congress
when the Federal party made its iiercest assault
on my administration, and nobly did he sustain
the cause of the people. Long mayhis services
be remembered,
Please convey to the people of Berks county
these expressions of my gratitude, and my re-
grets that it will not be in my power to mingle
with them on the national day which they know
so well how to honor, and whose sacred and pa
triotic injunctions they have so nobly observed
