DEATH q j. q. ADAMS.

A mournful and agitating event occurred IN
the House of Representatives yesterday, when
as the news of it spread through the city, en-
crossed all thoughts and hlled all hearts with
sympathy.
just after the yeas ami NAYS were taken on "A
question, and the Speaker had risen to pat an
other question to the House, sudden cry was
heard on the left of the chair, g Mr.. Adams Is

held the venerable man in the act OF ia1ing o.

was extended, grasplng his desk for support
He weutd have dropped upon the floor had he
not been caught in the arms of the member SIT

i'm the House: members from all quarters rush
ing from their seats and gathering round the
fallen stasesman. who was Immediately lifted
into the area in front of the Clerks table. The
Speaker instantly suggested that some gentle
man move an adjournment, (which being prompt
done. the House adjourned. A sofa was brought
and Mr. Adams, in state of perfect helpless
ness, though not entire lnsenslbllIty,was gently
laid upon it. The sofa was then taken up and
bvrne out of the Hall into the Rotundo, where
it was set down, and the members of both Hou
ses and strangers who were fast .crowding a
round were with some difficulty repressed and
an open space cleared in its immediate vicinity:
but medical gentleman,a member ct the House
who was prompt, active, and self possessed
throughout the whole painful scene, ADVISED
that he be removed to the door Of the Rotundo
opening on the east portco, where fresh wind
was blowing. This was done: but the air be-
ing chilly and loaded with vopor. the sofa, was

closed to all but professional gentlemen, several
of whom arrived in succession as the news
spread into the city.
While lying in this apartment MIR. ADAMS
partially recovered the use of his speech, and Oh
served in faltering accents, "This is the end OF
earth:' butqnickly added, 81 am composed. :
Members had by this time reached Mr.. A. a
bode with the melancholy intelligence, and soon
after Mrs. Adams and his nephew and niece ar
rived and made their way to the appalling scene.
Mrs. A. was deeply affected, and for some mo-

A jury VEaDIcr.-A case was recently SUD
United to a i,ry in this country, which, tor Its
novelty and happy result deserves place In

IT arose from the following circumstances:
Two men. living near npighbors, had falling
ant about the cow of one of the parties frequent
" getting into the enclosure Of the other, and
which finally resulted in the death of the COW !:
she having been set on by dogs and chased tI'l
she ran against stump and broke her reck.
The case was submitted to jury OF respect
able and wealthy farmers. After hearing re-
stated all the circumstances, the jury made ur
their minds that the owner of the COW conl''
not afford to lose her, and that the owner OF the
dogs was not able to pay for her: they therefore
rendered the following verdict: that the Jury
should pay the value of the cow, the mag'Stra'e
treat the party, and the constable paw the costs;
The verdict was Immediately ratified and
satisfied. to the great ioy Of the entire neigh

soNGoFEARTH's TRAVELLERS.
BY H. H. sAUNERsoN.

We are passing away, passing away,
To a visionless sleep and couch of clay:
Like the light of the stars before the sun,
We are fading and vanishing one by one;
Like twilight hues of summers day
We are passing away, we are passing away.
We are passing away from world Of care,
Like flowers which bloom on the desert air;
Like bubbles which swell on the running stream,
Like the shadowy vision of fancys dream,
Like the transient flash of meteors ray,
We are passing away, we are passing away.
And visions of bliss the light hours begue;
While young hearts beat in their careless mirth
We are passing away from this sunny earth:
Like first blown flowers on an April day,
We are passing away, We are passing away.
We passing away, and returning again
To the clod of the vale and the dust of the plain;
Like storm driven banks to some dcsolate shore,
We are Fastening on to be seen no more
With no hope of return, yet no power to stay,
We are passing away with the springs bright flow RS
We are passing away in the sunny hours;
With the Autumn leaf and the winter SHOWS,
We are passingon to our last sepose;
In the silence ofnight and the hustle of day,
We are passing away, we are passing away.
We are passing away with the kings of earth,
With the mighty in power and proud of birth
With the maiden in youthful beauty bright,
With her sigh of love and her eye of light;
And age with its time thinned locks of grew,
We are passing away, we are passing away,
The minstrel forsakes his ivy crown,
And goes to the mansion os silence down;
The warrior lays down his blood-stained wreath,
And proudly retires to his couch of death;
With the great and the brave the fair and the gay,
we are passing away, We are passing away.

Beneath which the dead do not reposeS
There is not spot on hill or dale,
Which in days goue by hath not had its tale
or one who In beauty's bright array
Has passed like dream of the heart away.
There peers not star through the evening gloom,
For which our fair earth could not number tomb;
There rs not a breeze which flies Ger the heath,
But it bears on its pinions the token of death;
And kingdoms and cities have passed away,
Where the corals bed and the pillows play.
We are passing away, but let us not grieve,
The changeable scenes of this world to leave;
But oh let cherish that nope whose light
Will guide in safety through deaths dark night
To the regions Of changeless and fadeless bloom,
Beyond the sky and beyond the tomb.

Horrible Death.-Dr. Isaac Hammerlin, a
worthy man, aud an oil citizen of this county,
came to his death few days since, in must
shocking manner. One day last week, DR.. H.
with two other gentlemen, left Satartia, for a
bear-hunt, and proceeded to Lake George, where
it forms junction with the Sunflower river
A short time after they landed from theii boat,
the dogs entered the cane, and Immediately
struck trail, and DR.. II. followed them but a
short distance, when he came up with the dogs
and a very large bear, in the thick cane. DR..
HI. fired at him, the bali entering his head at
the upper part oftbe nose. without doing much
injury other than to infuriate him, and he turn
ed and made at DIR. III. The doctor endeavor-
ed to get ont Of the animals way, but the cane
being very thick, he could run but slowly, and
had proceeded but a short distance when the
bear overlook bin, seized him by the thigh, and
jerAed him to the gronn'i. and completely strip
ped his leg of flesh AMI muscles. By this time
the dogs again seized the bear and got him Off
DIR. H. then attempted to rise, but could not,
being so badly torn. He then got his hunting
knife the bear left the dogs and attacked the
Doctor the second time, and tore him very much.
Tnis time DR.. Fl. succeeded in cutting one or
two gashes in the throat of the bear, but not deep
enough to do him material injury. The dogs
again diverted the attention of the bear from his
victim, and he LEFT DIR. HI. and engaged with
the dogs: but, IN few moments the bear came
at him the third time, when DIR. H. made a
stroke at him, but the bear seized the knife by
the blade, wrenched it from him, and threw it
some distance, and caught his arm and mashed
it to a Jelly. BY this time the Dr. cries brot
one of his companions to his rescue, and he, see
ing the awful situation of his friend, fired and
struck the bear in the neck, which caused him
to leave his victim and take to flight hut an
other of the company coming up in an opposite
direction, encountered the beer and shot him.
DIR. Hamberlin had his wounds tied up, and
was then carried to the boat, to be conveyed i'm
rediately to Satartia but he expressed his I'M
willingness to return without having his formi-
dable antagonist with him. His desire was graf
flied, and he and the bear were taken to Satar-
tia, where eminent medical aid was brought to
his assistance but he died on the fourth day
after suffering during the time, the most excru-
tiating pain. The bear was very large though
poor-weighing $40 pounds with his entraIls
out.-Yazoo (sniss. J Whg.
