that they were written lew days before Inc

approach of Spring last year. female had been
observed, as in luiilment of the aspirations
here SO plaintvely uttered, planting the snow
drop and primrose on his grave in the Neelop-
oils
When beneath the cold red earth am sleeping,
Life fever DER,
Will there for me be any bright eye weeping
That m no more
Will there be any heart still memory keeping
Ofheretofore
When the great winds, through leafess forests
rushing,
Like full hearts break,
" hen the swollen streams, Ger crag and gully
gushing,
Sad music make,
Will there be one, whose heart despair is crushing,
Mourn for my sake'
When the bright sun upon that spot is shining
With purest ray,
And the small flowers, their buds and blossoms
twinng,
Burst through that clay,
VIII there be one still on that spot repning
Lost hopes all day?
When no star wrinkles with its eye of glory
On that low mound,
And wintry storms have with their ruins hoary
Its loneliness crowned,

1t may be so-but this is selfish sorrow,
To ask such need,
A weakness and wickedness, to borrow,
From hearts which bleed,
The wailings of to-day for what tomorrow
Shall never need
Lay me, then, gently in my narrow dwelling,
Thou gentle heart;
And, though thy bosom, should with grief, be
swelling,
Let no tear start
1t were in vain, for time has long been knelllng,
Sad one, depart"

Noref Surgical Notwithstanding ascer-
tained that the operation of strobismus, or
squirting of the eyes was to be performed on
two patients on Saturday last, we made the
necessary application to witness the opera
ton, and were kindly admitted The per-
iornance of the operation has but lately excit-
ed the attention Oft medical men of Europe
on account of its novelty and the great know
ledge of anatomy which is requisite 10 its
performance. The first patient was very
pretty young female about seventeen years OF
age, residing in Tenth street near Christian ;
the operation was performed by DIR. Duilee,
assisted by Drs. Condie, DulIield, Stevens,
and Dunott, with grea, success. About IL
O'Clock, DR.. DutIce, accompanied by the
same gentlemen, performed similar opera
ton on quite young child in Sixth street
above Fi,zwater, with equal success. We
are thus particular in giving the names Of all
these gentlemen, many Of whom stand at the
head ct their profession, that they may voucl
tor the performance of an operation, which
has been strongly doubted by many in the
profession as having ever been performed il
this country, i, being Of German origin.

-" A correspondent of the Richmond
"hig' writing from Charlottesville, gives
the following account Of the circumstances
attending the melancholy death of Professor
DAVIS, of the University. We have scarce
ly known an event which has produced a
deeper sensation throughout the community.
Professor Davis was regarded as one of the
most valuable members of the faculty, and
eXertcd perhaps a more extensive and benef-
cia! influence over the Institution than any
other. We understand also that he was uni
v"rsally beloved by the Students, which ron.
ders the occurrence still more mysterious and
inexplicable. The writer saws:
''The circumstances as we'll rs can COL
lect them, are about these: The 18th of No
vemberis the anniversary of celebrated re-
belllon which took place in the University
some three OF four years ago. II has been
customary, with some few of the students, to
celebrate that day ever since. On Thursday
night last, the 10Th, there Were only two or
three who could be found to commemorate
the event. They went forth about 9 O'Clock
at night, armed with pistols and disguised
with masks, &c. After making a good deal
they approached Professor Davis's residence,
with the design, as he believed. to insult him.
lie went out with the view of discovering
who they were. lie Immediately came upon
very small person, who had mask on. and
who was otherwise disguised. He approach
ed him. and reached out his hand to nnmask
him. The individual, without uttering a
word, stepped back one or two PAGES, and
fired the fatal shot. Thus has been cut down.
in the vigor of intellect and the prime of man
hood, gentleman who was an ornament to
society and the pride of the University
We learn from Charlottesville, that stu
dent, by the name of Sommcs, from Georgia,
was arrested on suspicion of having fired the
pistol, which produced the death ofProfessor
Davis, and that after examination, he was
committed for farther trial.
The Student who, was stated in the letter
from Charlottesville, published yesterday,
had left the University, returned, and was the
important witness at the trial-being the com.
panion of the unfortunate young man and an
eyewitness of the whole affair.-Vhfc.
