On Saturday last, an interesting little boy,
about three years Of age, son OF Mr.. James
Striker, was killed on Market street by being
run over BY wagon loaded with two tons Of
plaster II seems that the child was crossing
the street at point not observed by the wag-
oner, and in attempting TO get out Of the way,
was trampled upon by the horses, and then the
wheels passed directly over its body. The
poor little fellow survived but few hours.
The painful event has caused deep sympa-
thy for the parents, whose hearts have been
so sorely wounded by the premature death Of
a beloved child, Winchester Rep. Nor. 10.

$1,000 WORTH OF GOODS BURNT.

The Store-house Of Mr.. Philip Coons, (of
Harpers Ferry.) at Dove Hill, on the Blue
Ridge, in this County, was burned down on
the 18th inst, together with the account, books
and merchandise in the Store. II is believed
that the Store was first entered by some burg
lar and robbed, and afterwards fired, to pre-
vent the detection ofthe robbery. The whole
loss Of MIR. Coons will not fall short of $1,000.
We hope that the public will be on the look
out for the daring incendiary, as his detection
will serve to secure other establishments from
the ruthless hame.-Efee Press

To smooth LIES short but rugged way,
Two aged guides arc given
Bright Hope to cheer us on by day
Calm Sleep, to whisper, when We stay,
AT ey'ning airs Of Heaven.
When misis almost obsiruci our view,
Aud Tronbles storms are loud,
Hope points to sunshine, pecping through
On some far prospect, fair and new,
Which care may never cloud
And when Hopes mission hath H. close,
And Terror comes with night,
Sleep soothcs our passions to repose,
Reprovcs our fears, repels our foes,
And brings us back to light.
