on the hills on the Maryland shore, supposed
to be parting salute from Cook, who left

with general volley, but both bodies were
too distant to do damage.

II Clothing trade Of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and was confined almost exci,i-

an almost indispensable part of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city 10
tho cross-road stand. Like all changes in trade
however, this one has not een produced except for
the lest OF reasons. Among these are the great
saving OF material by cutting large ossan Of
garments tosether-the superior work and speed of
sewing machines in msaufactlring--the great saw
ing Of time In waiting for your 'tnrnn at the Tai
iors-the uncertainty Of even then getting salts
factory "flt and above all the saving OF at least
ons-hay the cost Of the garment in the price For
snuinber Of years this has only been q pa5t II our
general Dry Goods business, but we have made
arrangements TO devote whole house excIu-
sI'eiy 10 1t alone with such lines of Notions and
furnishing Goods as will be necessary and desirable
IN that trade Believing that the true interest of
the trade will be to sustain i'm this enterprise
we would respectfully announce that we now have

Fatal Accident to MIR. Berrin from
Runaway Horses.

Runaway Horses.
We have already chronicled the death of j.
W. NJ. Berrein, (brother Of tho late Senator
Berrien,) which took place in Gainesville, Ala
bann, on the 9th inst. We find the following
reference to the matter in the Mobile Mercury
of May 10:
About one O'Clock, on that day, Mr.. Berrien
hired buggy with pair of horses from Mr..
Eli 0'Neal's livery stable, in this town, and
started to go to Warsaw, nine miles distant.
When about four miles on bis way he was
overtaken by one of the most terrific thunder
storms that have occurred here for Il great
while. 1t is supposed that his horses became
frightened at the fury of the storm and started
to run away, and that he either jumped out or
was thrown out from his buggy, and received
such a concussion of the head from the fall as
produced instant death.
Mr.. Willis V. Hare was passing the road,
after the abatement of the storm, and found
his body lying in the road, with his face
downward, and the sand washed about his
face and head, quite dead. The horses were
seen to pass house about mile and half
distant from the scene of the accident. with
the fore wheels of the buggy detached, and
from the character Of the horses, which were
regarded as unsafe, and So represented to Mr..
Bcrrien at the livery stable, there is no doubt
they became unmanageablc and ran away
with him. II was the opinion of the medical
gentlemen who examined the body, that he
had not been stricken by lightning, but died
Of a conclusion by fall
Mr., Derrien was citizen of Rome, Georgia
and brother of the late Senator Berrien
He was travelling as agent for the house o.
Sackett. Belcher d Co.. 90 Pearl street. New
York. ! understand he leaves a wife anC

The N. Y. Times says: A thorough recon
noissance of all the mail routes is being made
by the Postmaster General, with the view of
curtailment at every point where it is practca
BILE without serious detriment to the public.
While in many cases the service has been alto
gether discontinued, in others the number Of
trips has been reduced from daily to tri-weekly,
and from tri weekly to weekly, etc. Acting on
this principle the Post. Office Department has
within the last two months effected an annual
saving of about a million and half Of dollars,
exclusive of five hundred thousand dollars
saved by the refusal of the Postmaster General
to put into operation the nearly seven hundred
routes created in 1858, but for the support OF
which no appropriation was made. The work
Of curtailment is still progressing. 1t is not
probable that the service will be curtailed or
any of the railroad lines.

Murder of Master-sIave Burnt.

Murder of NTaster-SIave Burnt.
The Galveston News of the 10th contains
The following correspondence
GRAND CANE, May 2.
A dreadful murder was committed last week
by negro on his master. Mr.. James Roper
passed here with his negro on his way home
to Peachtree Village. They camped out a
mile and a half above Smithfield. The stage
driver in tho evening saw them sitting to-
gother; half an hour afterwards the negro
dashed out his masters brains, as it appears,
with an axe, while he was asleep, and then
burnt his body. lie then proceeded toward
home, and stated to some Of the citizens that
he did not know what had become of his mas
ter.
Suspicious were excited, and be was taken to
the spot where they had oamped; the ashes Of
the fire were examined, and pieces Of bones
buttons and rags found. The negro said the
indians had killed him, but the evidence Of the
stage driver was against him, and he owned
the whole.
On Saturday, the 3Oth April, the negro was
burnt alive on the spot where he had killed hi'
master.
He did not believe they were going to burr
him, even after the fire was kinded He made
q speech to some negroes assembled on the oc-
casion, warning them against the crime. He
did not struggle any until he was involved in
the flames In his boot was found ninety five
dollars, which he had taken from his master.

DEAD MINNA.

DEAD MINNA.
As Mays first morning arose in pride,
The village maiden, Minna, died.
Her friends-tho kinsmen Of her race
Mourn'd round her for little space,
Then left her in her death-robe drest,
With one white lily on her breast.
But when the hour Of night was near,
And moonlight soft suffu cd the bier,
There came tho Prince Of all tho land,
And weeping kissed her small cold hand,
And brought jewel'd clrclet rare
To glinimcr round the maidon's hair;
And brought rearl-lit star to rost
Upon the crowned inaidens breast.
still bore her brow the moons soft ray;
1t tingcd tho lily where 1t lay.
He cast The circled gems aside
Goods crown is best, my queenl my bridc''
He cast the pearls bonoath his feot--
Goods lily is thy brcast-hower, sweet"
Then, kneeling, went with passionate pain,
And showerd wild kisses down like rain,
And lngord till the moon sank low,
Aud all It's soft and smiling glow
Paled slowly from the pallid faco,
And darkness rose around the place
Then left her In her dcath-robe drest,
With one white lily on her breast.
