Sad AeSkdeANf.

At wedding party assembled in Lebanon on
Monday evening last, sad and fatal occurrence
took place The company had gathered, when
one OF the guests took off hls overcoat, from the
pocket of which dropped small pocket pistol.
A young lady present picked mp the weapon,
when man by the name of Frederick Spohr,
asked her TO hand it to him, in doing which, by
some means, it was discharged, and the ball en-
tered the left corner Of the right eye Of the un-
fortunate Spohr, penetrating the brain and caus-
ing death in few seconds. CONSERVATION and
alarm seizel the whole party, and the bridal
scene was turned to one Of death. The mar
rage was deferred, and with stricken hearts the
guests left the scene, aw!ully impressed with the
truth that ''in the midst of life we are in DEATH"
The deceased was one Of our most industrious,
enterprising citizens, and has LEFT wife and
three children to mourn their bereavment by
this terrible event. "May he who tempers the
winl to the shofn lamb" throw his arms Of
love and protection around the heart-broken
widow, and her orphan children and be "a hus-
band to the widow aud father to the father
less" This is qanother dreadful warning against
the careless hanlIing Of firearms. 1t does
seem strange, with example after example Of
such terrible character, that people will not be
cautious with those fearful engines of destruc,
ton to human h(e.--Le5Haoa (O) Citizen, 5d

Quick Method OF Computing Inter-

M. Ehf0r:--As there is doubtless some inter

ting interest, have thought proper to offer for
the study ofyour jaratih readers, remarks on the
said method which may help them remember it.
Amy sum at 6 per cent per anum gains 9-l0Oths
Of itself in year. In 2years twice that sum,
and so on. Any one wishing to find the inter-
est of a sum Of mony they must take g. -l00ths
of the sum or principal, and multiply them by
the time expressed in years or they must do what
will amount to the same thing "The quick
method" chooses to reduce years to months and
to set n Of the days on the right of the months,
Gas a decimal ofcourse) Now one dayis 1-30th
Of a month, we may reduce days to months by
dividing them by the factors 80, viz. 3 and 10
"The method divides BY 3 when it says take%
of the days, and it divides again by ten when it
directs to set the said third down as decimal
on the right of the years and months expressed
all in months. Now if we multiply the months
instead Of years we make it gain interest twelve
times too fast Instead, therefore, of taking
g. l00ths ofthe principal we save the labor Of
multiplying by 6, by taking the halfofwhat was
before twelve times too large, or else by taking
half the principal to multiply into the months,
and then we simply need to point off two right
hand figures as decimals to make up for not di-
wiling by 100.

PoIiticaL Preaching.

A number Of members of the Presbyterian
Church at Jerseyville Illinois, having become
heartily disgusted with the political preaching
which has been imposed upon them for year
or two past, met few days ago and adopted
resolutions disclaiming all wish or intention Of
imposing any restrictions whatever on subjects
properly appertaining to ministerial duty, yet
still claiming for themselves the right to judge
how far ministerial duty transcends its legiti-
mate prerogative when it introduces into the
church, as part of the worship of God, the sub
jcct of party politics; and declaring that while
they were at all times ready and willing to con-
tribute their FULL and reasonable share Of mate
rial aid for the preaching of the gospel Of Jesus
Christ, yet for the preaching Of any other gospel
they hold themselves in no way committed Ell

nesday evening-jjust in time to get this small
paragraph in the present issue-and from close
observation and tolerably intimate acquaintance
with the present Black Republican Legislature
is prepared to write its character and history in
few words-positively good for nothing! They
have been in session now nearly three months,
during all of which time we have necessarily
been as attentive an observer as any member,
and we solemnly aver, that not a single act ol
interest or Importance has passed either branch
during this whole time. The State, meanwhile,
has suffered in all its interests, and now it is
contemplated to degrade and disgrace her by
making her repudiate her contracts. Such is
their unheard of ncapacity, unexampled and
reckless foolery, that we should not be surprised
if the name of every member Of the majority OF
this Legislature should hereafter become infa-
nous merely from his connection with such a
body HiAsborough, CO., Gazette.

removed an ovarian tumor from the person Of
Mrs. Judge Reeves. The tumor weighed one
hmadret and Hity-sir pounds which, we under
stand, is the largest tumor of the kind ever
removed from person. Preparatory to and
throughout the operation, which occupied only
twenty minutes, Mrs. r., was put and kept un-

perfectly insensble to pain.
