FRUIT HILL, (OHIO) May 1st, 1833.
     In the National Intelligencer of the 16 ultime, I see in a notice of the death of a Mr. Daniel CAMPBELL, of Little Beaver Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, that it is stated that when he emigrated to America, about the commencement of the Revolutionary War, that he brought me with him; thereby placing my nativity in teh land of Fingal, Wallace, and Bruce. I know not from whence you derived your information, but it is conferring on me an honor to which I am not entitled. I have, therefore, to request taht the error be corrected.
     I was born in the County of Dutchess, and the state of New York, on the 14th of January, 1772, where my father, John McARTHUR, and his family, resided many years previous to that time.
     Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, DUNCAN McARTHUR
     [Though the error referred to was not ours, we are glad to be able to correct it from so excellent authority. Our notice of the death of Mr. CAMPBELL was copied from a Pennsylvania paper. - EDITORS]

The editor of the Beaver City Chronicle, J. W. WHITE, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, has doused the black-jack of Locotocoism, and run up to his mast-head the broad stripes of his country, inscribed with the names HARRISON and TYLER. He discourses on the change in the eloquent language of sincerity. The interest of this Change is enhanced from the circumstance that, in the same paper in which it is announced, we find the editor rejoicing over the conversion of his father, an old supporter of Gen. Jackson, now editing a paper in Geauga county, in Ohio. Thus father and son are doubly united in the bonds of consanguinity and political brotherhood. There is moral beauty in the association - Wheel. Times.

FATAL RENCONTRE - A melancholy tragedy occurred in Chenango township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania on Thursday week, which resulted in the death of Mr. Samuel WILKINSON, for many years a resident of that township. Mr. RUTTER, constable of Slipperyrock township, had an execution against deceased, and was accompanied to his residence by a young man named Irvin, as agent for the plaintiff, to show property upon which to levy. Irvin pointed out a colt, which the constable attempted to take into possession, but was resisted by a son of deceased, who claimed it as his property, and between them a scuffle ensued. Irvin going to the assistance of the constable, was caught by the deceased, whom he immediately stabbed in the left breast with a pocket knife, causing his death in ten or fifteen minutes. Irvin is in prison, and will probably have his trial at the March term. [Beaver Argus.
