his life in the battle Springfield, had previous y
willed his whole property, valued At $4,000, to
the United States Government This sum was the
pecuRiary expression of all his self.denia hard
toll, and great military talents. These he devoted
to the Republic, and having offered his life upon
its altar, crowned his career by refunding to the
same Great Master the moneys it had given HIM.
Does not his example exhibit more glaringly the
infamy of hundreds who, like him, derived wealth
and renown from the Government, and who now
lead the armies of its enemies to menace the capi
tai and oyerwhelm its defenders! Let the boasled
'chivalry" Of Virginia learn lesson from the
noble soldier of Connecticut!

A YOUNG GIRL SHOT DEAD BY HER
COUSIN.

A shocking affair, the thought of which causes
the blood to flow back upon the heart, and seems
too horrid to be real, occurred in Bristol X. l. on
Thursday evening last. the particulars of which
are thus stated by the Providence Post: AVN.
James Tilley, of Mr.. Benjamin Tillev,
about 10 years of age, was standing in the yard.
with his fathers gun in his hands, which he had
taken up for the purpose of swapping some caps.
His cousin, n young and beautiful girl of is,
daughter of Sylvanus Pease, Esq of Edgertown,
Mass, who was on visit 10 Bristol, and passing
the afternoon with Mr.. Tillev's family, was
standing in the house at a window, within few
feet of him. He raised the gun and deliberately
aimed it at her held, remarking play fully that he
would shoot her. Awful to relate, the gun was
loaded, the charge took effect near the temple,
passing through her head. She fell to the floor,
and breathed about three minutes only. showing
no other signs of life. II seems Mr.. Tilley had
loaded the gnn with shot, fe Y davs before, for
the purpose of shooting neighbor's cat that an
noyed him, and most unfortunately left it loaded
in his house. The boy knew nothing Of this, and
supposed it empty, as he had frequently played
with in a similar manner before. Mr.. Pease
left Bristol only the day before TO return to his
home in Edgertown. Who can imagine, or what
pen can describe the anguish this thoughtless
act has inflicted! When will people learn to be
careful in the use of firearms.

DAS ALT SCHUL-HAUS AN DER

The following Poem is written in what is gen.
orally called "Pennsy yyana German" This is
peculiar dialect, created by a strange mixture
oi all the European German dialects, with large
sprinkling of English words and pronuncntlons.
1t is passing away before the victorious progress
Of the English, and must ultimately heceme
extinct. It will, however, always remain as II
curiosity in literature. This Poem, written by a
Pensy vana Pastor, is here inserted at The request
of literary friends who saw it in manuscript. /,
