Boy Shot BY HIS BROTHER boy
named James Wallace, aged fourteen, was
killed by his brother, only twelve years
old, in the town of Ohio, in this county,
on the 18th ult. A quarrel had occurred
between the two, growing out Of an at.
tempt on the part of the deceased to chas.
tise twin brother of the younger lad,
The latter, by some means, having OBJ
tanned possession of loaded pistol, de-
liberately discharged ITS contents into the
head of the deceased, who fingered but
few hours, and then expired in the
greatest agony The hemotber of the boys
was present and witnessed the dreadful
scene, but was unable 10 prevent the
dreadful catastrophe. The father was
absent. There has been no examination
in the case, we understand, and the young
fratricide is yet at large.-MOhawk, ~

DANCING SCHOOL.

The school Of Nj. l., H. Osborn, is
progressing with unexpected satisfaction,
both to Teacher and Scholars, there be-
ing large and respectable number of
scholars, all Of whom are fast improving
in the requirements ofahe art of dancing.
Mr.. 0. lends all his energies to the ad-
vancement Of hispupils, and feels graft,
fed, to know that each scholar is fast i'm
proving. Although there is some slight
opposition, to the custom of dancing, we
do not see the least harm that can
arise from the manner in which he con-
ducts his school, for his rules are strict
and precise, and are obeyed by all that
attend.

BAD BoYs.--We have been importuned
by many persons in our place, to speak Of
the rudeness of several boysin Jackson.
We have so often alluded to this subject,
and there appears to be SO little attention
paid to the subject by parents, that it is
almost useless to waste time and space in
speaking of it. We should think, that
any parent should correct and prevent a
child from insulting and saucing women
and men upon the public street, and oi
disturbing any public meeting or gather
ing, letit be what it may. If this is con-
tinued any longer, there will be COM
plants made before the proper officers Of
law for the suppression of the outrage.

uo POIl KANSAS.

On Tuesday last, number OF our citi.
sensleft for the far West, to seek their for
tunes in the wilds Of Kansas, When we
look back to the hardships that were en-.
dured by old settlers Of this, our now.
thriving State, we cannot but almost
shrink at the idea Of persons, with fami-
lies Of small children, diving into the
wild forest and plains Of Kansas, to be ex
posed to all kinds Of epidemics and hard
ships. But. should they survive, they
may grow up in wealth and influence. and
become what iS almost impossible TO at.
tain In any Of the more populated States.
Success to those thatbN the undertak
ing. and wherever they may east their
tents, may God be with them.

monetarT ana cemme fcIal.

The run upon the San Francisco ban
kers caused an extremely small shipment
of her precious commodities. AS the
difficulty was mere temporary matter,
not the least effect was produced on the
New-York market Last week closed
upon the largest aggregate Of stock sales
for some months. The New. York Com.
mercial OF Saturday remarks:
The money market is abundantly sup.
piled, and good paper is in request, both
at the banks and in the street, and there
is altogether a more confident feeling, as
10 the prospects for the future. The stock
sales have been large for the week, and
generally at better prices, particularly in
those descriptions most suitable for in.
vestment. In state stocks and the better
class of railroad bonds, it is long time
since there has been as large business
within the same space Of time, as that OF
the present week. There is no specie
export during the week, but from Boston
about million and quarter Of dollars
has been sent out, a large proportion OF
which was drawn from this city.
The specie exports from the lst of Jan
uary TO March l8, are reported at 49,
779.O .O29. The sales Of railroad bonds
on Friday reached nearly half a million
mostly on foreign account-compri-
sing $500 900 Illinois Centrals, which
touched 8l1, and $4,000 Eries at 863.
At the close there was a slight decline,
since regained.
Stocks, also, advanced-Erie IN. Y.
Central /. Cleveland and Toledo brot'
794. The latter is assuming position,
by its late report and dividend, every
way encouraging. The comparison be-
tween the earnings of the two former is
very close for the last five months. Erie
lools up $2 257, 123-Central 30 All ,205
The gain by the former over same months
last year is $3.50, ,000-by the latter $500
coo. The two roads last year earned
over eleren millions Of dollars-the ex
cess of the Central being about $549,
600.
The following figures show in stri-
king manner the immense commercial
relations between the East and the West
We give the earnings Of the four great
railroad avenues of the West, for jan
uary and February.

BALTIMORE, March Ql

The Richmond Dispatch contains full
details Of the explosion of the Midlothian
Coal Pits Thrty-four persons were in
statly killed, including 20 negroes and
whites. Twelve negroes and FIVE white
persons were SO badly burned that but
three or four can possibly recover. The
pits we're considered perfectly safe and
free from foul air, but in making blast
an old shaft sink was accidently crushed,
from which poured forth volume of gas
that broke into ignition. The explosion
caused the earth for miles around 10 wave
and rock like twig in the wind.
Over 100white miners we're fortunate,
ly out of the pit at the time of the explo.
sion.
Every effort is being made to rescue
those still dive. Dead men were found
holding sbQyels, drills and picks in their
hands % those still alive, the flesf-kas
burned to lhe bone as il roasted. The
pits are ITO feet deep.

The fact that there is a School House
needed in Jackson, is well known, as al
present there is not one public school
taught in the corporation, thing that
should never be permitted by the people.
The cause. we do not pretend to know,
but know there is one, Of very serious
nature, while certain class of children
are running at large, without the adyan-
tages of public school, their parents
