train from expressing any opinion in rela-
ltion 10 the unfortunate affair
A SERIOUS AFFAIR.-A most distressing
occurrence took place on Thursday even
ing last, in which ono Of our citizens was
shot by another. The circumstances are
about these: About 8 o'clock, on the above
evening, Mr.. John J. Lower, blacksmith,
(,he one shoI aud several other persons,
were quietly couversing in the conteetion-
airy Of A. Raeling, corner Of Second and
Chestnut streets, when several others came
up from Front street. among whom was
Thomas w. Moore, (oi The firm Of Moore &
Amenl, ,inners,) who, after looking in the
door opening On Second-st. for moment,
walked round to the ono on Chesnut-si.,
stepped on the Threshold, drew pistol
from his pocket. and deliberately sbo, Mr..
Lower. The charge took effect in the alb
domen, entering just At the left side Of the
back bone. Al the report Of the pistol,
which was dsafening, the wounded man,
who was in an upright position, involunta-
rily cIasped his hands to bis back, groaned
terribly and exclaimed no was shot. lie
was Immediately taken to the house Of his
brother, and physicians called in, who made
many but unsuccessful eiforts to exlricaie
the charge, (buck shot,) during which the
patient suffered Undesirable pain.
The origin of this tragic affair, was from
some SANDER, Of vile character, about q
young lady OF this city, to whom Mr.. Moore
was engaged, Of which Mr.. Lower was sup
posed to be the alleged author.
There arc a thousand rumors afloat in
regard to the matter, but we hope that pub,
lie opinion viii be suspended until fair
judicial Investigation has taken place
.Up to3 o'clock Yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Lower was getting better, and the attend /
ing physicians expressed some hopes Of his
recovery. The pistol contained six buck
shot, all Of which entered at the same place.
Immediately after the event, Mr. Moore,
quietly and without resistance, was taken
before Mayor McAuley, who, after hearing
the testimony, decided that it was not a
bailable case. He was then committed to
Jail. there TO awni, his trial a. the next term

Gsy,r STATESMAN o how gladly |.
daily iaborer In the land,
Would break my willing bonds and stand
summed in thy presence calm and high.

How seldom cones man like thee,
With power TO b nd Nations knee
ADD wake the thunders of her praise
n lion heart o noble soul,
That will not from thy purpose lean;
That counts these pogeants as dream,
And while sheir glorIes round thee roll,
And while our trumpets shake the sky,
Thine eyes are fixed on one alone,
Thy heart returneth 9roan for grean
And SIGH for sigh with Hungary
sball not see thee. Thus my heart
Forebodeth sadly, day by day.
Small is the boon for which pray,
tn see thee once ere thou depart,
IN leave land that loves thee well,
TO spurn the inglorious, offered ease,
To cross again the gloomy seas,
While all thy vessels sails shall swell
With prayers and blessings, borne along
A golden breeze from shore to shore,
From hearts that love thee more and more
Forever. May thy life be long,
And grow in greatness year by year,
While the wide world expectant stands
To see thee spoil with mailed hands
The thrones Of tyran,s, dumb with ieaf'
Who see the lightnngs IN the skies
And hear the thunder roll afar,
The thunder OF the armed war,
The lightnings of a peoples eyes,
Who rise endowed with might divine
To burst the accursed tyrant's den,
And take and keep the rights OF men
When Gods great voice shall speak through
thine.
