4 friend Mt Supply, in Brunswick
county, writes US as follows:
On the night of the 18th, two negro
boys. VIM, BIrmard and John Holland,
were hunting. The latter climbed the
tree for the vermin, while the former
mistook linn for raccoon and shot
him.
Locl:wood's Folly is a great place for
great snakes, great mistakes, and great
"raccoons," but | cannot think that
there are any large enough to take a
fourteen year old negro for one.
We do not think it a very danger Gus

of them took effecu in the leg.

'Eisc Boundary Line case.
From the baltimore Gazette.

IT inc lbiilIlnOTe tAItIle.
The sudden death at Saratoga of
Hon. W. A. Graham, one of the Arbi-
traitors chosen by the Legislatures of
Marylaud and Virginia to adjust the
boundary line between Virginia and
Maryland, brought the arbitration to
all abrupt conclusion.
The laws passed by the respective
States made no provision for an ap-
pointment to fill vacancy in the
Board, whether caused by death or
resignation; and as 4 consequence, the
whole matter remains in stGtu q.tO un-
til the Legislature shall choose another
to fill Governor Graham's place. The
proceedings had progressed so far that
all the testimony had been educed and
the ergumeut on the part of Maryland
was about to be opened by Senator
WEyte, when Governor Graham's ex-
treme illness was announced, and the
Board adjourned until some future
day.
His subsequent death has further
postponed any meeting until the nee
essary Legislative action is taken to
reorganize the Board.
From all we can learn, the loss of Gov
ernor Graham has been serious one
to both States. From the beginning
of the investigation, he was the most
attentive and diligent i'll his efforts to
understand the points of the contro-
versy, and most assiduously bent his
mind to grasp the difficulties of the
case, and all the counsel agree that
whatever might have been his conclu-
sions, they would have been fair and
impartial, and have been reached only
after the most mature deliberat1on.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that his
successor in the Board may resemble
him in the qualities of mind and the
evenness of temper which he possessed.
In such a case brilliant taIents-too
often allied to rest;essness and impa-
tience, are not needed, but the essentials
for the discharge of such duties are
clearness of Judgment, caImness and
patience, and some common sense.

Young Mr.. Frank Muse called onsue
yesterday in references to the publ
cation concerning him, i'll the JOURNAL.
Of that morning. He assures us
most positively that he has at 10 time
tnkon nny part in the conflict that las
grown out Of the strike OF our printers
and that everything he said on the oc-
caslon referred to was suid in joke ard
Jest. We say to the pubic thero-
fore as we say to him that it
g'ves us very great pleasure
% accept his statement us true
md that entertaining mono but
the kindliest feelings Tor him we SIN
cerel y. regret that any misnpprehen-
zion should have arisen.
Young Mr.. Charley Wills also called
upon us and protested that he haa
never takcn any part in the matter
save to carry messages backwards ana
forwards between our printers and his
fnther, MIR. Hardy = WiIIia; that W hat
he had done, had been done by order
of his father, aud in consequence of
bis conviction that it was his duty to
obey his father.
Further than this we have, we be
lieve, no comment to make, at least
none this morning.
