The Farmer Tusn.d Soldier. F

NO rnrVeE s"s"S~ DUsuseTs
NV father was farmer good, fOTE
With corn and beef in plenty:
I moved, and hoed, and held the plow,
And longed for ono and.twenty,
For had quite martial turn,
And scorned the lowing cattle; ..t.t
| burned TO wear uniform,
Hear drums and see battle. lIl
My birthday came my father urged,
Eut stoutly I resisted: tt .1aI rf'
My sister wept my mother prayed:
But of went and listed.
They marched me on through vet and dry,
To tunes more loud than charming,
gu, Juggling knapsack box, and gun,
Was harder work than farming.
We met the foe--the cannons reared,
The crimson tide was flowing,
The frightlnl dea,h-groans filed my ears,
wished that { was moving.
I lost my ies-the foe came on,
They had me in their clutches
! starved in prison till the peace,
Then hcbbled home on crutches.

The Patriot seems to be terribly nettIed by the
fact thai the ffeemen of Essex County have absolv
ed themselves from allegiance to Locofoco d!cta-
tors. We wonder that the Patriot does not keep
dark: it is not safe to hold up such striking exam
pies of independence 10 the Democracy Of Wash
ington and Lamoille-the rank and file may catch
the spirit By the way, the Patriot especially al
ludes to the representative from Victory. We
know that Hhig VictOy must be exceedingly
distressing to the Patriot but that Is no apology
for misrepresentation. We are authorized to say,
that the member from Victory was the Wing can,
ddate, aud that only two Locotoco votes were cast
for him.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

The Gazette de Tros Rveres states that the body
of man named Samuel II. Nye, an nhabitant of
Norwich, Vermont, U. 5. was found last Monday
week in the Bots de Champlain, by person nam
ed Grandmaison, his wife, and his two sisters in
law. No one explain the death of this man,
although he was stranger; and in parish so lit
tie populated as Champlan and st. Genevieve, the
presence of a stranger, land above all, stranger
who is not a French Canadian) is nlways remarked.
The corpse was purified, and there remained in
the shirt lothing but the blanched bones. He had
worn flushing capot of gray color, brown sur
tout, black vest, gray pantaloons, handkerchief
about his neck, and pegged boots of American
manufacture The surtout was found at the dis
lance Of French acre from the body: the hat,
which remained on his head, which contained the
bones of the skull, not fractured the pantaloons
were at a considerable distance from the body the
bones of the legs and feet were in the boots, but
torn, as if by the teeth of savage beasts What,
asks the Gazette, could have conducted this stran-
ger into the forest Has he committed suicide !?
We do not think SO; for how then would his cloth
ing be thus scattered If he had cut his throat the
instrument of death would have been discovered;-
besides, an American does not commit suicide for
grief: he emgrates. Has he been devoured by
wild beasts? We think it little likely. 1t is a
thing unheard of in this place for a man to be de-
youred by bear, or other savage animal. AT all
events, the death of the man is mysterious affair,
and we are not the less troubled TO explain the
circumstance, in that he appears to be stranger
10 every one here. The Norwich journals would
do well to publish this article, for the information
of his friends and family. One OF the members
of his family ia sony as appears by letters in his
possession, is engaged in the Mexican Army
