On Saturday evening, up heard the following statement, which ■ give, hoping that our in- ‘ formant, whom we know lobe incapable of wilful misrepresentation or exoneration was himself misinformed. For some time |>ast, the editor of the fon caater (Pa) Examiner, anti Masonic paper.; lias used great freedom m Ins remarks upon the public conduct of Mr. Cameron, one of the superintendents of the Columbia Kmlroud ; and last week, it is added lh.it the Examiner contained an article which included in its vit- . uperation Mrs. Cameron. This so much cx- j asperated her husband, that, meeting Middle- J ton, the editor of that paper, he seized him by Ihc collar and shook him with severity. Two hours after this, Mr. Cameron was passing up the street towards the. railroad depot, with a view of entering tiie cars. hen somebody called to him, and. on turning round, he re ceived in his right side the heavy bullet charge of a gun, fired from the opposite side of the. street, and, as it is said by Middleion.

After some inquiring it was gathered that Mr. I. had that morning ta ken a pair of pistols and gone to Camden, where he entered the woods and shot him self. But the wound not proving fatal, he had returned in a state of exhaustion of miud and body. His remarks as to the cause were incoherent and unsatisfactory; nor could we learn, with accuracy, what had in duced the act. He spoke of the remarks of a committee,’ but we did not learn that official wrong had been imputed to Mr. Is rael.— V. S. Gaz. * James the First. Among the addresses i presented upon the accession of James the First, was one from the ancient town of Shrewsbury, wishing his majesty might reign as long as the sun, moon and stars endured. “Faith, raon,” said the king to i the person who presented it, “if I do, my son must reign by candle-light.” , Speculation. A young man in an adjoin i ing town was mightily smitten with the i beauty of a lady whose father had a suit at I law which must forever make or break him, and “ popped the question.” Shu was ex ! pressing a desire for immediate marriage, ; when he thus interrupted her, “ l can have i the refusal of you for 6 months, can’t 1?” .4 Beauty. —The editor of the Boston Times says he is so handsome that he dares not go to Church, far fear of disturbing the 1 girls.
