Terrible Shooting Affair in Yorkyille, S.
Carolina.

On last Monday morning we received
the York District Chronicle, in which we
noticed an allusion to some angry CORES
pondence, which had been going on through
the papers, between certain parties, resi-
dents of Yorkyille. On turning to- the adj
vertising columns we found several COM
munications, from which we learned that
Douglas d Co., keep Commercial
Agency" in Charleston, S. c., branch, we
presume, of some such affair in New York
that T. ]. Bell is the special agent at
Yorkyille that said Bell sent or was sup
posed to have sent to the agency" some
report that injured the standing and repu-
tation of James Allen, JE, merchant of
that village. Hence the long and angry
correspondence In a letter from James
Allen, Jr, dated Friday, he said that to-
morrow Saturday his father, James Allen,
Sr.. would be out with handbill explain
inc the whole affair. Accordingly, on Satur-
day Mr.. Allen did 90 about posting up his
hills when Bell commanded him to desist;
words arose and Bell shot Allen on the
snot with double harrelled gun. Young
Allen was with difficulty prevented from
ayenging his fathers death. Bell is lodg-
ed m iail. There is, of course, the greatest
excitement in Yorkville. These "Com-
mercial Agencies" are ticklish affairs
They may be necessary, like other evils,
but they are evils.

From the Danyille Register.
A Solemn Question.

For years past, the public have been
bored with the inquiry, 'SWho struck Billy
Patterson 2" A recent melancholy occur
renee in our own immediate neighborhood.
suggests the more important inquiry, ''Who
killed Isaac Patterson 2" an honest and in
dustrious farmer of Caswell county, N. c.,
who came to this place, sober, on Tuesday
last, was made drunk by some body, and on
returning home in his buggy, in the after
noon, was upset and killed, near Mr.. John
Prices on the Plank Road.
Now, as it was well known to the liquor
dealer who furnished the spirits, which de-
throned the reason of this unfortunate old
man, that this would be the effect of the
article which he sold him, and that while
in that condition he was liable to accidents
such as that which has deprived him o
life; nay, that such result s0as By NJ

after the tete-d-tete of the lovers. 'sYou

''Yes, you are jealous" continued Fanny,

"Oh, my Godr' cried the Colonel, "and
| must then lose her forever! Give up all

suppose that you are deceived-suppose
Beaufort should not love her after all p
"Ah my dear uncle, we are not de
ceived. He loves her." said Fanny, with
an unconscious sigh, "and you feel it as
well as l."
AT this moment the door opened, and
the Colonels servant entered with letter,
which, he said, had just been left by Mr.
Beaufort's valet. The Colonel and Fanny
exchanged a glance of significance ; and the
former, dismissing the servant, broke the
seal of the letter and read its contents.

these makers of sweet phrases, these archi
tects of delicious metaphors, these coiner
of compliments, supplant us in our daugh
ters' heart! They prefer this smooth rhet

"Uncle," Fanny replied, after having alsC
read the letter, ."do not deceive yourself =
Beaufort loves Florence with true, loyal
and devoted love. | can see his heart NJ

"Well," said the Colonel, ''it must b
