co4MERcE OF THE COUNTRY FOR TIE TEAR.
The statistics OF American commerce for the
month Of June encourage Us by exhibiting con-
tinuance Of the increase in imports over exports,
The iMpoEts Of Junc> 1877, were S14, $50 So5
greater than those of June. 1876: its exports were
So :16, ;ac5 less than those OF the latter month
This Improvement in imports has been observable
since February, and III the four months OF March,
April, May. and June has made gain Of $50, 300,
900 orer the corresponding time OF 1876. We arc
also able to give the imports and exports for tho
twelve months ending June 80 last, by semi annual
periods End for the whole year. Taking the statis-
tics for The year, and comparing them with the hg-
uces for 1850, the improvement we have spoken
Of disappears. Since tie Gain Of imports has oc~
CURED only in the late, months OF the year,
naturally i has not been large enough 10 counter

TIE DEATH OF BERTHE CAsE.-Last

cident by which the boy, BERTHE Case,
son of VIM. Case. of Yates township,
lost his life Wednesday, Feb. 2Sth,
1877. We have since learned the fol-
lowing particulars: Warren Baker,
son OF John Baker, of same township.
and young Case had been out hunting
squirrels until nearly shutdown, and had
returned 10 Mr.. Howell's (Bertic's
uncie) where they engaged. playing
chasing each other around pile of
logs Young Baker had the two guns.
loaded in his hands, and it is supposed
that the hammer of one of them struck
the end of a log and discharged its con-
tents while the unfortunate Case was
crawling In under the end of the pile
of logs after cap. The charge of
squirrel shot passed into his head just
back of the left ear; penetrating the
brain, which oozcd from the CHASTITY

The wounded boy was Immediately
carried into the house, and every thing
possible done for his relief; the lamp

remarkable space ofeight and one-half
hours, when death closed the heart

The funeral took place on Friday,
the remains being buried In the town.

In concluding this sad item, we feel
II duty to utter few words of warn
ing against the too common practice of
allowing mere boys the use of firearms.
II isn't I'm the nature Of childhood to be
cautious and careful I'm handling such
weapons, and they should never be
allowed tohavo anything to do with
them, unless In cases Of actual neccss-
