THE RUssELLvI.LE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY. JULY P, 1875
Sunset.
BY D. EoMAISE.

 The western gateway is open That leadeth to bright climes un-
 known, And clothed in gal ment ofpurple Is the Sun, like king on his
 throne. Like king, in his glory descending. With his long robe of purple and
 gold, To his couch in the western sky go-
 ing, With his beauties and glories un-
 told. The long golden bars of the siinshine, And the halo of amber and red, Like gleams from city celestial, Flashing forth when the daylight has fled. As sit and look westward, wonder If beyond the blue vail of the sky, Tn the all-glorious regions of sunset, In the country we call "By and
 by" The country of angels and spirits, The city-the land of the blest; The place of the happy immortals, The home where the weary find
 rest? And I wonder if loved ones and lost
 ones, Who have passed through the DOT
 tals before, Do not, at the bright hour of sunset, Look out through the half open
 door. I imagine see the dear loved ones, In the gateway of heaven they
 stand, With their long robes ofwhite, pure
 and spotless, And victory's palms in their hands. But the sunlight fades slowly around
 me, As the darkness of night cometh on, And my dreams with the sunlight are
 faded, And my air-castles, gorgeous, are
 gone. But I know in the blue sky above
 me, Clouds never disturb the bright
 day; There loved ones and lost ones are
 waiting, In that beautiful land far away.

The time for the reception of specimens of grain and grasses in the stalk, designed for competi- tion for the home premiums of the centennial exhibition, has been extended to the 3Ist of July. Specimens received after that date, however, will compete for premiums at Philadelphia Ga zette.
 We call the attention ofour far mers to this, and we earnestly urge them to forward their speci- mens-that is, such as can yet be obtained. Nothing is so convinc- ing as to the merits of country as an actual display of meritori- ous productions of her soil. The soil, it's products and it's tillers lie at the foundation of all our pros perity.

MAN KILLED.
A Deputized Officer after an Offender, shoots the wrong
 Man.
Eleven Buck-shot through the
 Heart and Lungs.

Early Tuesday morning Justice Burney received note from J. R. Duke, a Justice of the Peace at Norristown, stating that Thomas Galloway, whom he had deputized to arrest one Tuck Cox, charged with violating the estray law, had through mistake and in self de fense killed one Newton McGee at his residence about three miles from this place; and requesting him to proceed in the matter and hold an inquest. Justice Burney immediately had jury summon ed and proceeding to the scene of the terrible tragedy, the following facts were elicited: Thos. Gallo way and a posse of three other men. in obedience to the warrant of arrest for Tuck Cox, issued by Justice Duke, proceeded to the residence of Newton McGee where the said Cox was supposed to be, for the purpose of executing said warrant. They arrived at Me Gees before day light on the morning of the 2Sth and while stationed around the house wait ing for day to break, some party came out of the house and attempt ed to pass into the cornfield. Galloway halted said party, who was armed with gun and whom he supposed to be the man Cox. The party, who proved to be Newton McGee, immediately pre- sented his gun, and Galloway fired, killing him on the spot.
 The jury after hearing all the evidence returned a verdict that the deceased "came to his death by being shot with large shot from a double barreled shot gun by Thos. Galloway, whom we find guilty of manslaughter."
 McGee it appears had also been guilty of taking up estrays with out posting the same, and was perhaps expecting an arrest; con- sequently hls shyness, which has lead to such q fearful result. Galloway was bound over by Jus tice Burney, to answer at the next term of circuit court. Such en- actments as this are indeed most unfortunate, and it does seem to us, that they ought, by proper  care of officers in selecting men of sound judgment and steady habits, to make arrests, to be avoided. There certainly can be men found, who will be too con sideratc and cool headed to make such a terrible bungle and so hor- rible tragedy out os an attempt to arrest an otten
 More care, more deliberation and more consideration for human life must be exercised by officers and private citizens.
