The Darlington Free Press has inimated that
there was something suspicious in the appointment
of the committee on Public Buildings and the se-
lect committee to examine the account of Superin-
tendent Powers. This intimation is G tirely un-
founded, and entirely unjust, as well to the Speak
er and the committees to the other parties con-
cerncd. Wahon's Daily Journal Of Oct. nth
nothing of the sort, neither in general nor
particular. The Jownat misreprescnts us.
unntcntionally. we doubt not We think
the editor must have made the statement from
hearsay. Certainly, thero has been nothing
said by us to justify it. We presume it grew
out of a remark or two Of our correspondent
E., in "our issues of the 10Th and Goth
but II 1T did, it makes a great deal moro Of
our correspondence remarks than is iustifa-
BILE. He said, evidently from inadvortonce
that the committee on " State House Expend
itures had two from the west side Of the
mountains, with three, including the chair
man, from the east we say from indduert-
enec, because he gave the name of the chair
man as from Bridport. in the same paragraph.
Who the others of the committee were, we
did not know till the next day, and then our
extracts from the Journal gave their names
and residences, which made remark from us
unnecessary.
A correspondent of the Times said there
was no standing rule tor committee on
public buildings. We quoted the Journal of
last year to show that there was, and said no
more. We have since learned that the
omission of the committee appointed to report
rules, to specify Committee on public bull
dings, was wholly accidental, growing out Of
the accidental omission to print the rule for
such n committee in the H..gctory Of last
year, although the rule for it was in force,
as the House journal showed. That the
omission to report such a committee should
excite notice, and even lead some to suspect
that the omission was intended, is not to be
wondered at under all circumstances Our
correspondent alluded to that suspicion, and
said also that the committee and one appoint
ed on motion of Mr.. Kellogg on the expendi.
lures and cost of the State House were likely
to have enough to do; and from appearances,
we presume they will.
As for saying anything which could be
construed into imputing any wrong doing
"to the Speaker and the Committees, or
any "other parties concerned, we got no
such meaning from the words Of our CORES
pondent ,and we know him too well to believe
he thought of any such thing himself

two places, the ax entering into the sub
stance of the brain. His case is considered
hopeless. The patient is wholly unconscious,
and in all probability cannot recover. Mrs
Gouldy, the mother, who is enciente recev-
ed thee wounds on the head, two of which
were scalp wounds and from one to two inch
es in length In addition to this she rccciv-
ed two severe blows upon her right arm, {,
causing severe contusions Hopes are enter
tanned of her recovery, but her condition
is extremely critical and her injuries very
dangerous The boy Nathan received
blow on the right side of his head
cutting up the scalp for three inches. His
condition is also extremely critical; cons
ciousness however is perfect. Charlie, the
boy of five years. received blow about an
incl and half from the median line near
the vertcx, which communicated with the
substance OF the brain /; the condition OF the
patient is comfortable, but dangerous. The
girl Elizabeth Carr was dangerously wounded
and probably cannot recover. Indeed the
condition of all the victims of this unnatural
crime is extremely critical, and it would not
be a matter of surprise ifnone ofthem should
recover.
Mr.. Gouldy is about so years of age. He
was formerly lumber merchant, and had
retired from business with an ample fortune.
He is a member and trustee of the Method

whom an insane man lately attempted to
shoot IN his pulpit, is pastor. His wife and
daughter are members of the same ch urch.

employment. Frank was awakened by the
revival last winter, and joined the church on

An AWKWARD ARcHDEAooN. N.-Some little
time since, small boy of ten or eleven
years of age, might have been seen driving a
donkey before him. in one Of the wild lanes
in midland county. On the back Of the
donkey was a sack of Goals, on its way to
neighborng village in which the lads pa
rents lived For while all went on smooth
ly, The donkey logged along just as re-
spectacle and well conducted donkey ought
to do, and the boy, running by its side, eth
er "whistled as he went, from want of
thought" or neither whistled nor thought.
But this fair state of things, like true love,
was presently disturbed, The donkey took
fright at something or nothing, and the sack
of Goals fell to the ground, Here was a di-
lemma The donkey was still there and the
boy was there, and the Goals were there hut
then, the weight of the latter was beyond
the strength of the lad. He could not lift
the bag to replace it in its original position
There was then, no help for it, but to wait
till somo other traveller should arrive and
assist him out of his difficulty. This NIGH

party that does not conceal its contempt and
disdain for these same servile Whig allies,
and which will not only not thank them for
their assistance, but kick them out of the
camp, as soon as they have squeezed out of
them what little they have to give.

TIE FALLING. LEAVES.

The pale descending year, yet pleasing still
gentler mood inspires, for now the leaf
lncessant rustles from the mournful grove,
oft startling such as curious walk below,
And slowly circles through the waving air.
But should quicker breeze amid the bough,
COB, Ger the sky the leafy deluge streams
Till choked, and matted with the dreary shower,
The forest walks, at every rising gale,
Roll wide the withered waste, and whistle bleak,
Fled is the blasted verdure of the fields;
and, shrunk into their beds. the fowery race
Their sunny robes resign. Fen what remained
Of stronger fruits falls from the naked tree
And woods, fields, gardens, orchards all around
The desolated prospect thrills the soul.

FATAL Academia sad accident occurr-
ed in the family OF James l.. Loop, Esq, of
Rockford Ill ,on Sunday evening last the par
ticulars ofwhich we copy from the Democrat
Of that place
THE family had eaten supper and retired
to the family room, and two sons, Matt and
Frank, engaged in the boyish sport of play
ing soldier Matt had in his hands shot
gun which had lain in the house several
months, uncapped, and as every one suppos-
ed, unloaded which during the progress of
the play he aimed at his brother and pulled
the trigger, when it discharged, putting the
whole load into the forehead of Frank, who
stood not more than two feet distant from the
muzzle of the gun.
The horror-stricken brother caught the
poor boy in his arms, while the brains rapid
y oozed from the horrible wound, and in an
hour and a half he was dead. Frank was a
very intelligent and sprightly lad of about
| years of age and idolized by his parents, "

AFTERNOON.

CoRRECrIoN.- Your reporter erred in saying the
report Of the committee appointed to investigate
the charge against the oergeant-at-Arms, exouer-
ateL INN from blame, that report itself express
ed no opinion. The opinion was expressed by the
chairman Of the committee (lIr kellogg) and
others in their remarks with reference to the re-
port and no member Of the committee dissented.
Besides what is mentioned above, petitions
read in both Houses, praying for a law aganst
delivering up any person claimed a slave; and
referred to the general committee in the SEN
ate, and to a special committee in the House. Pc
titions and rcmonstrancos subjects pertaining to
Counties and Towns to Roads, and to many mat
ters of private concern, were presented and refer
ed; and sundry public bills were forwarded.

CHILDREN FRIGHTENED AT SHADOWS.

a Madison letter informs US that there
is heavy rush towards Madison of that
class of heavy property-hosders, who have
managed heretofore under our defective
assessment laws to evade paying any taxes
the object beirg to kill off the new bill
which proposes TO tax all men in proper
ton to their property. If farmers knew
their duty they would meet in town con-
ventions in all parts of the state and or
ganse companies of old women to march
to Madison and compel some equitable
mode of assessment and taxation. As
matters stand, the improved property,
(Which is the direct labor,) pays the tax,
while home land spectators and money
lenders, worth most of the property. get
almost free tickets.
