FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Our community has
been shocked, says the Chambers Tribune of the l7h
inst, by the Of fatal altay in our midst
The at1lay resulted in the immediate death Of Mr. YIN.
H. Smith, Of the most worthy and esteemed citi-
zers Of or county. and our tax collector. On Tles-
day night he mercilessly shot down in our streets
and almost without moments warning hurried into
eternity. There several implicated in the affair,
which is now undergoing investigation. and we deem
it advisable to await further developments before We
give the names Of the parties. Such outrage upon
the public peace has never before been perpeaed in
our town. An innocent and useful citizen has been
wantonlv killed. The safety Of human life in oul
town is surely Il consideration of some importance
and cries aloud for security and protection at the
hands Of the officers OF the law

A PROMPT AND HoSoRABLE DlscLAlMEE.-A conf
municaton derogatory to Col. jcn. Davis having
found its way into Il late New York Courier and En-
quirer, the editor in the succeeding issue of his
paper makes the following prompt and honorable dis
claimer:
An article which was from the pen Of CORES
pOndent. in relation to the Secretary of War, by
oversight got into paper and appeared editorial
an article which never should have found place in
! our columns in any shape whatever and would not
have done So had it not escaped attention. 1t was,
we consider wide of truth in its insinuatonS, as its
publication would have been utterly unwananted if
true Jefferson Davis is, in our opinion. an eSmable
gentleman in MI the relations of private life and no
one who is familiar with the events of the Mexican
war, need be told that every in,inuaon against his
personal courage, is utterly unworthy of credit. Po
tcay, We have no afiuitie$ with Mr. Davis, who is
one of the most ultra Southern politicians but it is
due to ourselves thus promptly repudate an article
which probably never met the eye Of the party as
sailed but which is unjust as it certainly was out
OF place i'll our columns.

The Fruit-Gift.
BY j. G. WHITTIER


.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.
Last night, just as the tints Of autunn's sky
Or sunset faded from our hills and streams,
sat, vague listening, Tapped in twilight dreams
10 the leaf rustic, and the crickct's cry,
Then like that basket, flush with summer fruit
Dropped by the angels at the Prophets foot,
Came, nnannounced, gift Of clustered sweetness
full-orbed and glowing with the prisoned beams
or summery suns, and rounded to completeness
By kisses Of the South wind and the dew.
Thrilled with glad surprise, methought knew
The pleasure Of the homeward-turning Jew,
When Eschos clusters on his shoulders lay,
Dropping their sweetness on his desert way.
said, This fruit bcscems no world Of sin.
Its parent vine, rooted in paradise,
Oercrept the wall, and never paid the price
Of the great mischief-an ambrosal tree,
Edens exotic, somehow smuggled in
10 keep the thorns and thistes COMPANY
Percfance our frail, sad mother plucked in haste
single vne-slip as she passed the gate,
Where the dread sword alternate, paled and burned
And the stern angel, pitying her fate,
torgaye the lovely trespasser and turned
Aside his face oftre; and thus the waste
And fallen world hath yet its annual taste
OF primal good to prove Of sin the cost, Tlost.
And show by one CLEANED ear the mighty harvest
