After patient hearing Of about two
days, the court referred the case to the
Jury, who, after retiring for a short
time, returned with a verdict Tor the
plaintiff, of $4,000. After the verdict
was brought in, the defendants counsel
moved for new trial, and, among other
grounds, assigned as cause that the
damages was excessive--but the Court
overrule the motion.

POETRY.
From the Eastern .Qrgus.

On the death of Mrs. Blake; who persisted
with cold in December, 1921, on the Green
Mountains in Vermont, near the town OF Ar
Ington.
Thee old winds su spt the mountains height,
And pathless was the dreary wild,
And mid the cherries hours of night,
A mother WANDERED with her child.
AS through the drifted SHOWS size press'd,
abe babe was sleeping on her breast.
And colder still the winds did blow,
And darker hours of night came on,
Her limbs were child, her strength was
gone.
@ God she cried in accents wild,
If Unjust perish save my child.
She stript the mantle from her breast,
And bard her bosom to the storm,
And round the child she wrapt the vest,
And smil'd to think her babe was warm,
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed,
And sunk upon snowy bed.
At dawn traveller pass'd by,
And saw her meath snowy veil
The frost Of death was in her eye,
Her cheek was cold, and hard, and pale.
He moved the robe from eff the child;
The babe look'd up and sweetly smipd.
MEMNON.
JThe melancholy occurrence, upon
which our correspondent has written the
above lines, was briefly this. Mr.. II. G.
Blake, of Salem, in New-York, in De-
cember last, set out with his wife and
child, on visit 10 some relatives in
Vermont. Their way led over the
Green Mountains. In crossing these
they found the snow deep and
painless, and the weather extremely cold.
They rode till they began to be fearful
OF perishing with cold, and then attempt
sd TO walk Mr.. Blake proceeded ahead
as fast as he was able in hopes to reach
some house and obtain assistance. He
did not proceed far, however, before he
became so child, that he sunk in the
snow in helpless and perishing condi-
ton. He was found the next morning
very much frozen, but has recovered.-
His wife was found dead. The child
was tound warmly wrapt in its mothers
outer garments, and when it was taken
up, according TO Mr.. Bake's account,
:" it smiled Observation-Disclosures

ing destroyed by birds.
Gilbert Barclay, Esq. of Sunderland,
OF late years, has never had hill of
corn destroyed by birds or other vermiu,
by preparing his seed in the following
manner-viz. Take a quart of warm
tar, and gently pour on it about 10 or 90
quarts of corn, stirring it at the same
time, then add so much dry lime as
will prevent the kernals from adhering to
ca n other, or the PERSONS fingers who
plants the same. The corn thus plant
ed will be longer in sprouting, but the
blade will be stronger and of darker
color, and will sooner come to maturi-
ty than that planted in the common way.
The expense is very triiling, and vast
property might have been saved to our
farmers BY this preparation.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS
TUESDAY, JANUARY %, 1922.
In SENATE

Mr. RUaGLEs, from the Committee Of
CLAIMS, made an unfavorable report on the
petition of Rebecca Hodson which was read.
MILITIA FINES.
ASreeably to notice, Mr.. LowRIE asked
leave to introduce a bill to vest in the respec-
tve states the right of the United States to
all Zines assessed for the non-performance of
militia duty during the last war.
Mr.. LowRIE observed, that on the 18th
May, 1890, he submitted resolution request
ing the President TO cause information to be
iaid before the Senate ON the subject of the
militia, and militia fines. Among other points,
that resolution embraced the following The
number of the militia called into the service
OF the United States from each state, during
the last war. The number furnished by each
state, and the period of their service. The
amount offnes imposed, The sums collected,
and the expense of collection. The iniorma
ton furnished, in answer to the call of the
Senate, did not give the definite number that
was called into the service of the United
States, from the different states. From the
extracts Of correspondence furnished to the
Senate by the War Department, it appeared
that, at different times, acquisitions were made
on the different states for their respective
quotas OF 1876, 500 men, as the exigency of
the public service required. From Pennsyl-
wanna alone, had Mr.. l.. been able to find the
number required, and that information was
obtained from the state government. The
number furnished by each state has been af-
torded to the Senate by the Third Auditor, in
answer to the call of the Senate, as follows !:

THE PIRATE.

Why is that form Of secret WOO
Upon the sailors rugged brow
AS DER the Caribbean sea,
His bark glides swift and gallantly.
The Tropic sun in crimson cloud,
Wades slowly to his western shroud.
Upon that level shore the trees,
Wave gently to the slightest breeze.
So near the waters edge they stand,
That he who gaxes on that strand,
Would think, along the dashing tide,
Their moving trunks did rudely ride.
No ghastly reefs Of hidden rock,
Wait for the advancing vessels shock,
No yawniDg whirlpooIs, furious rave,
To draw her to the mermaid's cave.
The unbeliever's crescent there,
Has never shot his baleful glare.
Nature wears bridal dress,
UnrivaYd in her loneliness.
Why is glance so fearful cast.
Upon the outstretched briny waste (!
Within some dark and lonely bsy,
The Pirates watch to seize their prey.
A roffian crew, with aspect dread,
lnyaried colors habited
lnurid to deeds so horrible,
Would blister but the tongue to TELL.
A boat is launched, and in the spray
A hundrud broken rainbows play
They reach the vessel-and no moro
She ever finds hor native shore;
Whe'm'd in the water-bark and mon
An everlasting harbour gain.
