by which very worthy gentleman vas
accidentally shot aud killed by his son.
The circumstance; NJ" briefly these: At
about clock VI tie night above mem
toned Mr.. !. Ii. Brown, thC principal Of
q school near N1iteyillo, hearing @ noise
among The fowls Ii al clubhouse, called to
his son. L.: II. Brown, Il lad about - years
OF age, t. get his gun aud 60 out there as
he thought that III o"l lad got after the
chickens. At the Same Time. and without
the youG.- man : knowledge, Elr. Brown
himccll vent yttt IL tho fowl house and
bc~au feeling there for TIE owl. The lad
approached and seeing an object moving
there, fired III, gun, the entire load of
which entered N1r. Brown . left shoulder,
killing him almost instantly.
Tho lad event has cast Il glOUiD OYCr The
entire community among whom the dc
ceaee1 WAC highly esteemed, as AL honest,
upright gentlemen. The young man him
self IS plunged IN tie deepest grief and
fears arc cutortninod that his reason may

saddest events that VIC have ever been

We have waited with patience to learn
tho results OF last Tuesdays elections. The
returns are etl!I very incomplete, bu
enough is known 20 warrant the announce
mert that very substantial gains have been
made by the Democracy. In every Slate,
save two, Of the nineteen il which cleo
iioIs were held. the Democrat" have made
strong iproads into the ranks of their OPP
ponents. New Jersey, owing to the large
negro vote, has been lost, and Kansas IS
still stronger Joined to her political idols
than ever before. Eve'ywhero else, from
Massachusetts, and Rev York to Alabama
aud Arkansas, the Democratic party bas
been either VICTORIOUS, or reduced tue m@
ioflties of tie Radicals to very small fig
uIcs.
New York RS elects Governor HoFFMAN
by nearly forty thousand majority, 4 Dem
ocratic Legislature IN both branches, and
gives gain Of four members Of Congress
to tie Democracy. Illinois reduces the
Radical majority by mole than thirty
thousand, sends thsee or four additional
Democrats to Cougres4 and while the State
Senate Is Radical, the House is in doubt
with the probabilities in favor Of the Dem
ocrats.
The noble Democracy Of Michigan have
made break in the heretofore cold Con
gressional ranks of their opponents, while
the gallant ELDEIDaE, OF Wisconsin, has
Democratic colleague among the members
rom that State.
Maryland, Delaware a4d t>ont0chy, not
withdrawing tho hcDes and calculations Of

Increase to their party strength through

condemned, and the people Of Missouri

guaranteed 10 every citizen of the United

There is no view we can take Of these
elections which ia not most gratifying and
hopeful. The Radicals have indeed re-
tanned a small majority in the House OF
but many Of their fore
most and most. obnoxious leaders have
been defeated, and their majority is no
longer sufficiently strong to enforce arbi'
trary rules and conduct legislation in &C.

without regard to Law. The people have
spoken. and Radicalism has at last been
