gttisiiaasira, 81. Srni1,
WEDNESDAY 10Th MAY 1872.

Last Saturday afternoon about half past
six o'clock, a sad accident occurred on the
estate Mt. Pleasant ~(Colquohouns). A la
bourer of that estate, by the name of
Charly, to whom the overseer was show
ing the mechanism of revolver, got shot
by the unexpected discharge of the pistol.
The ball, which was scarcely one eighth of
an inch in diameter, penetrated the breast
about three inches sboVe the heart /; but as
the deceased happened at the moment to
be in an inclined posture, the ball injured
the heart or one of the larger arteries, and
death Immediately ensued. The accident
occasioned some disturbance on the estate,
chiefly arising from a few boys having
taken into their heads to go and ring the
estate bell ; but all was quiet when the
police came on the spot. The overseer.
Mr.. McCaul, is under prosecution in the
police court, where he voluntarily announ-
ced the accident himself. Evidences from
the labourers clearly prove that it was an
accident.

In reply to a letter from Mr.. Augustus Schen,
Chairman OF the National Democratic Committee,
Mr.. n. M. T. Hunter, OF Virginia, has written long
letter on the financial interests OF the country He
reviews the of the administration and OF the
republican Congress on these points with certain
breadth Of view acceptable to a great many who do
not wish to see the present financial system Of
the country continue in operation, and who
believe that this will best be achieved by change
Of rulers The letter bears date Of October 5. but
was not published before the Pennsylvania elec-
ton. He challenges, in opening, the republican
argument that 1t would be prudent to retain that
party in power for financial reasons In treating

the question OF the payment Of the public debt at
our present rate. lie says:-

as the Board OF Examiners are very anxious to
give every aspirant for ONCE every opportunity to
attend they allowed these men to finish their ex.
animation yesterday.
In response to the invitation sent to Mr.. George

amincrs yesterday at their ro5Ess, this gentleman
sent reply that II was impcssbic to accede to
their kind request yesterday but would be very
happy to attend to-day at one O'Clock.
In regard as to who have carried or the palm OF

The examiners have herculean labor to perform
in determining the proper standard Of each can.

In comparing and grading every copy Of the appl-
cant's answer to the propounded questions. rs a
rule, the majority OF the contestants have demon
strated considerable proficiency In the various
branches OF study requisite, and those selected
from this batch for appointment and confirmation
