GOLD DISCOVERED IN ARKANsAs--The Camden
(Ark) Herald, which we received by steamboat
day or two since, had an endorsement on its mar
gin, "Great excitement in Camden" The cause
we infer 10 be the discovery of gold in that neigh
borhood, of-which some details given in the
paper.
1t seems that negro named Scott, who had
formerly worked in the North Carolina gold mines,
was impressed with belief from the character of
the country that gold could he found in the hills
about Camden, and obtained permission to sspros.
pecr' upon the lands of several planters. The
result has been that gold was discovered. DR..
Newman has semitic the editor of the paper a spec-
men of the gold found in his yard, with the opin-
ion of a California gold digger that the prospects
are good, the mine being rich. The Herald says:

STRUCK BY LIcHrNINa.-The house OF Mr. Ayres,
three miles East of London, C. W., was struck by
lightning on the Dist of May. AS the citcum-
stances ARE rather singular, copy the particu-
lars, from the London Free Press, as follows
'Alr. Ayes and his family We're taking dinner
when the chimney was struck by the lightning
and demolished; the fluid its further descent
came i'll contact with an iron plate, which seems
TO lave divided 1t into Two parts; one of which
took its course along the roof, to the cavetroue,
and then ran down the waterspout TO the ground,
and in its course melted and destroyed them both
The other portion followed down the inside of the
chimney, and was attracted by the stove pipe,
| down which it ran into the kitchen, and killed u
dog that was sleeping by the stove.
Here again the subtitle fluid separated, one por-
ton ran under the kitchen table, between Mrs.
a Tyres and her children, Scorching them and rem
dering them senseesS, il then pursued its way and
demolished glass that hung against the wall, and
| finally made its exit. The remaining portion fol-
lowed along tI.e crack between the floor boards,
and thus came in contact with the shoe of Miss
AyreS, II entered at the heel and went out at the
toe, ripping the shoe completely and blistering the
foot Somewha badly. Miss AyreS, upon receiving
| the shock Immediately fell senseleSs. Another
daughter, Mrs. NeliS, we believe, was sitting al q
little distance with her child but in the same line
with her sister; in her case the fluid entered the
| toe o.! her shoe; ripped 1t, then took its course
along her stocking, in its course blstering her leg,
and then leaving her person, made its way through
the back part of her dress and lodged itself in the
wall, in which it made hole OF some inches deep
and resembling that made by an auger.
| w hiie these events tranSplred i'll the kitchen,
| the lightning effected, also, two young men who
were sitting in the hall, and who were deprived of
their senses by its mluence, and went stumbling
head formest into the kitchen. All this took place
at once, and MIR. AyreS saw that which we have
imperectly described, pass before his eyes at the
same moment. HciE[orms us that the scene was
a most distressing one-that the chimnes were de-
| noliShed-the ceiling thrown down-the windows
broken-the stove pipes twisted and broken-the
floor ploughed, as it ere, by the electric fluid
and the various members of his family lying around
in different states of nsensibilty CONSERVATION,
forming together picture of truly affecting des-
| crpton.

the accident occurred and that they responsible

The defence argued that there no negli-

AS thoughts pursue their devious track,
With pensive joys attended,
Calling Youths early visions back
Sunlight aud Shadaw blended
Some struggling rays may fill the heart,
Ycttear-droas will unbiidcn start.
Alas! that hearts should thus unite,
TO be discovered soon,
That Fate the harp's sweet chords should smite
When Friendship prompts the tune
If e'er there drops human tear
Refined from passions dross, tits here.
How halowed every trific seems,
Aword; tone; look;
How fresh are theses how brightly beams

A halo round YOUTHS hapless bier,
