* Harris Seek, April 21, 1841.
I write these lines to advise you of n
circumstance which took place in my
house yesterday evening, which, if published
in the Weekly Georgian, may
prove a benefit to some one who inay he
in the habit of using fire arins too care.

I loaded my gun in the house, with a
view to go into my field to shoot birds.
Passing through the house with her in my
hand, I was examining the lock, and put
my thumb rn the cock to ascertain if it
jvasin its place, when I sprung it a little;
ray tii'unb slipped from it, when the gun
went off# The contents passed through
the patitiorff and through the room, tear,
ing to pieces a window sash at the opposite
end -of the fevrr, passed through
the kitchen door, and Judged in a win:
slow, on the oppasiteside ok ^5e kitchen ;
and now hear the iccnderful e^aP? ?f my
family, I had five children in iJ,(? rooin
Jtnd two servants; two servants
standing in the ki'chen d jor and oth/^j
inside ; a son in thcijJ'un, about ten years
of age, was standing aV>^t the middle of
the room?he received two j?hots, one in
his arm, the Other in the side J^t under
the breast, which passed only through the
akin, leaving a cut of two inches io.**g ;
four shot entered the head of a daughte/V
ahout eleven years of age, struck just j
above the forehead, and glanced round |
4b *he skull, two of which passed out, the ,
other two are still in the head ; it being
somewhat swollen, the physician could
not iind them, hut thinks there is no dan- .
ger. Two children and a servant were j
standing against the window which was
torn to pieces ; every pane except three in 1
the window were broken out hy shot *
The room was soon stained with Mood; t
the screams of the wounded ones were
enough to cause feeling in a heart of
stone, much less in the he .rt of a loving f
parent, You may judge what were my
feelings on the occasion. Any person
acquainted, like myself, with the circuin.
..stance, cannot possibly see how they es.
caped as well as they have, for no hu. \
man understanding could have directed |
the shot the course they went, without
killing some, more than one of the cliiU
dren. I feel that I cannot be sufficiently
thankful to a kind God for the preserva- 1
tion of my children, for it is miraculous 1
indeed. <

Opinion is generally against us touch- t
ing the detention of Mt-Leod, arid, in ease \
any violence be done to him, will become j
almost universal reprobation. The common
judgment, too, in regard to the dispute
about tivc boundary, is that our national
Government, and Maine herself, 1
should acquiesce in a liiieral compromise s
with Great Britain, whose assent has not (
n '
hv en doubted. I have directed my in- [
quiries especially to the points whether, v
in the event of hostilities, the French .

Arrest of tiib Honorable C. F.
Mitchell.?The Montreal Courier of the
7th inst. says 1
"Mitchell the forger, who has fled into J
this country with his ill-gotten wealth, is <
now securely in gaol, and w.ll we believe \
be delivered up to the State of New York j
upon demand of Governor Seward. This
man came here under the name of Goodwin.

and exertions of Capt. Comcau
and the Montreal Police."
Since putting the above in type, we
have seen a letter from Officer Boyor, of 1
tiiis city, who arrested him. The follow- '
ing is an extract. i

(about twenty six hundred miles,) and I
think this time I have woke up the right
passenger. lie had been concealed at 1
Point-at-Trcnible, about ten miles from 1
here. On attempting to arrest him, he <
leaped from the garret window and ran (
to the river St. Lawrence. Finding
himself pursued, he plunged in. One of
^ the officers called to him to stop, or he '
would fire. He then threw into the curn

was ready to die. <
A canot- was then shoved off to him by
a companion before ho could be prevented,
but he got a nice flogging for his trouble.
Mitchell got into the canoe and
crossed to an island in the river, but was
soon arrested there.

to rocovcr the money, bat can't say hnw (

made your own fortune, beware of robbing
pour friends of their time, whose fortunes
ire yet to he achieved by industry. Ncvtx
enter a merchant's store, a mechanic's
>hop, or a lawyer's office, for the purpose
>f mere conversation; if you have business
with either, despatch it as soon as you |'
:un. Take it for granted, that every |
man of sense knows'-the present value of ;
minutes," and endeavors tolet nop.irtieb
i>f time fall useless to the ground.
Industry, perseverance, punctuality and .
integrity are all greatly advanced by early
rising. A young man may learn many (
sciencies and languages merely by making
proper use of the early hours of daylight
in the Summer season?Early rising is
perhaps bv some considered a vulgar 1
habit?therefore, it is a thing well enough
for mochaoi'** and laborers, but bv no! j
means to be adopted by the higher class-!'
C3 of Society. But those who think so,
either know nothing of the biographies of j
pjninpnt men or have perused them, with1J
ittlo attention. It is indisputable that I
lew men ever lived to a great ago, and 1
fewer still ever became distinguished for
their abilities, who were not in tho habit
[)f early rising. If you rise late, of cours
you cannot get about your business till a
late hour, and then every thing goes wrong
throughout the day. Dr. Franklin says,
'that he who rises late, may trot all day
and will not hove overtaken his business
at night," indeed, it may be confidently
affirmed, that lie who is in the habit of i
earlv rising in his youth, will bo in.ieh
more likely to live to an old age, more
likely to be a distinguished and useful
man in Society, and more likely to pass
a pleasant and peaceful life, than he who I
makes n practice of lying in bed till a late
hoir in the day, as many do. M. A.

The Miik Sickness of the West is the
nhject of one of the articles in the Inst i
iimtar of the American Journal of the
todical Sciences. The milk, butter,' |

us peculiar rniladyt produce n sickness {1
hich, in the large majority of case.*, is '
ital in all who partake of them. The
ause of this disease in animals is still <
iidiscovered. Whether it is of mineral,
cgetable, or aerial origin is a subject of dis. j
