To SPRING.

Now the wintry signs ere going.
Fast from stream and sod and tree,
Warmer airs arc mildly blowi9T
Spring is here with face of sIee.
Shows are low and SUNS arc high
Where her rosy footsteps fly;
Wide abroad her mantle flinging,
As the angel maid advances,
Flowers are blooming, birds arc singing,
In the sunshine Of her glances.
Soul of verdure, youth and beauty,
Genius of the road of roses,
Who delays to pay thee duty,
Who but in thy lap rcPoses7
Earliest born! thy blush supernal
Gave their tints to Edcn's flowers,
Clad The globe with gIories vernal,
Fitted scenes for heavenly hours,
Changeless, though that globe is changing,
Youthful, though our forms grow old,
AS of yore thy feet come ranging,
Bringing beauty to the mould
Balm to breczes. light 10 skies'
Life and freedom to the fountains,
To the woodlands emerald dyes,
Moss and garlands TO the mountains,
Order to uncuturcd lands,
Music 10 returning birds,
Labor 10 tho farmer hands,
Hope 10 hearts, and cheer 10 word.
Glorious, gentle. genial Spring,
Could We ever TO thee cling,
Never moro sigh for summer
Should human bosom heave;
Hc should bu noieless conner,
Nor look of love receive.
For thy ways ure ways of grace,
Freshness, peace and purity;
Paradise adorns thy face
With lis sweet implicitly;
And though Summers robes imposing
Ampler seem and bolder dyed,
Thine arc evermore disclosing
More of peace and less of pride.
Only in thy walks wander,
Other seasons crifcc,
And, when dust and spirit sunder,
Leave thee only for the skies.

OBITUARY.,

Died in this village, on yesterday about half past
l O'Clock, RUDOLPH, the only son Of PEREGRINE
and ANN DAVIS, aged three years, nine months and
ten days.
1t is difficult to realize that this fair little boy,
who but few days since shed delight and happi-
ness wherever his prattle'' was heard now 'sleeps
the sleep that knows no waking" Beautiful in
person and too brilliant in mind he was beloved by
all who saw him. Even Death could not pass him
by, but has taken him away in the sweet innocence
and beauty of childhood. He was flower too
precious for this cold world, and in the early spring
of life has been transpanted to the garden of Para
disc Over all that now remains of him fall the
bitter tears of Fathers, Mothers and Sisters
grief: An only son has gone from among them
Their bright hopes, that had clustered around him,
are dashed to the earth-and their home is filled
with sorrow and affection.
Farewell, little one, doomed thus early to fade
and die Pure as the dew, that rests upon the
morning, thy spirit has assembled to Heaven. Long
wilt thou in our remembrance live, and trust we'll
meet again.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

The doubt with regard to who is elected
Governor OF Pennsylvania, says the Balti-
more Sun of Saturday, is now settled down
to a certainty that Johnson, the Wing can
didate is the successful competitor. The
Pennsylvania, Of yesterday morning, gives
what purports to be official returns from
every county in the State, except Warren
and makes Johnston's ma ority l43. War
rem is set down by the Pennsylvania as
as giving 267 majority for Longstreth,
whilst the Ledger and other Philadelphia
papers make it but 1913. The Ledger sums
up Johnston's majority at l79, whilst the
N orth American aud other papers announce
the official vote, on what is represented to
be information from Harrisburg, at 1853.
The North American, of yesterday, states
that the House of Representatives stands 81
Wings to 40 Democrats, but says that the
Democrats claim the member from Butler
county, which if correct, would make tie
in the House. The Pennsylvania insists
that parties are tied in the House: and that
the Wings have 9 majority in the Senate.
The Washington Union of Saturday ad-
mits the election of the Wing candidate for
Governor. 1t says-!"We have los, the Co.
vernon by very meagre majority.'

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE
CHARLES COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
at meeting held on Tuesday last, adopted
the following resolutions:
Resozred, That the Committee will pro-
vide Stalls in Mr.. Hutton's lot, westward of
the Court House, for Cattle and Sheep to be
exhibited at the Fair. 1t is expected that
Hdes, Horses and Mules exhibited will be
taken care Of by their owners.
Resolved, That fourteen Stalls be erected
for the above purposes.
Resolued, That Table be provided in
the Court House for the exhibition of Agri-
cultural Products and Household ManuEac-
lures, and that the Committee will proceed
on Wednesday, the 9Th Of November ne xt,
to carry the above resolves into effect
Resozued, That these resolutions be pub
lished.
We have witnessed the faithfulness with
which the Executive Committee discharge
the duties laid upon them by the Society,
and feel highly gratified to know that every
accommodation will be afforded to those
who may attend the Fair. We now look
to the Farmers of our county for the Exhi-
bilion; and we are confident we shall not
look in vain, for the notes of preparation
begin to sound in our ears. 1t must not
however be expected that the exhibition will
be large one, though we believe it will be
credit to the county and sign of future
prosperity to our agricultural interests.

THE PRINCE GEoRGE's AGRICULTURAL
ExH1BIroN.-The Marlboro Gazette says
there was very large attendance in that vii
lage on Wednesday and Thursday, on the
occasion of the annual exhibition of the Ag-
ricultural Society of Prince Georges, and
the large collection Of animals of various
kinds, fruits, flowers, domestic manufactures
implements &c., were calculated to inspire
the beholder with sense of the utility and
importance of Agricultural Societies. The
Gazette adds:
The contributions of the ladies were both
useful and beautiful. The display of fruits,
flowers, and vegetables, excelled the rich
collections of former years. The stock
yard was we'll filled with superior animals,
affording ample proof that the attention be-
slowed on raising improved animals, has
more than compensated for the care and ex-
pense.
On the second day the annual address
was delivered 10 large and intelligent al-
dience, by Gen. TENcH TILGHMAN, of Tai
bot county. it was a production of much
merit, and was well received by the audi
ence. The Society have ordered it to be
printed in pamphlet, with the proceedings
of the Society.
Every thing connected with the exhibit
ton passed off pleasantly, and the friends of
the Society have reason to believe that it
will 60 on and prosper, and every year add
new evidences of its usefulness.
Amongst the most gratifying clrcum-
stances attending the exhibition, was the
presence of the venerable patriot and farmer
the Hon. George Washington Parke Gusts,
who had quit his quiet retreat at Arlington,
to evince the interest he felt in the Agricul-
tural prosperity of his native county. There
was scarcely any part of the exhibition in
which he did not seem to take deep in.e-
rest. lie visited the various stables, and
pens of cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, vegeta-
bic stands, and in fact nothing escaped his
penetrating eye, and we have it from gen.
lleman who accompanied him in his lnspec-
lions of the numerous articles, that he ex-
pressed frequently his admiration of the per-
lection of the exhibition in general, and es-
pecially that of the ladies' department.
The visit of this noble representative of
the immortal Washington, to Prince Georges
will be remembered as one of the most ln'e-

OHIO ELECTION,

The Baltimore Sun of Saturday says
Who is Governor of Ohio is question as
difficult to solve as the result of the Cover
ncr's election in Pennsylvania. The Colum-
bus Statesman, of Tuesday evening, recev-
ed last night, claims the election of Weller,
the Democratic candidate, though admits
that the official returns may change the re-
suit. The Columbus State Journal of the
same date, is perfectly silent with regard to
the election. We, however, find intelligence
one day later than those papers, in the Pitts
burg papers of Thursday morning, by tele-
graph from Columbus and Cincinnati. A
dispatch from Columbus, dated at 10 O'Clock
on Wednesday night, says:
"The result for Governor is still very
close, and remains In doubt. We cannot
tell who is elected There are 25 counties
from which official returns have not been
received. Weller is yet 1873 ahead"
A dispatch to the Pitssburg Gazette, dated
at Cincinnati, at o'clock on Wednesday
night, says:
sThe Legislature of Ohio is doubtful. A
Wing has been elected from Clinton, but the
validity of his election is disputed on the
ground that he had the office of Sheriff at
The time of his election. The clerk has sign
ed his certificate.
"Giving the Democrats five members from
Hamilton, and one from Clinton, they will
have three of majority in the House. The
Democrats also claim the Representative
from Lawrence and Scioto."
The Pittsburg Gazette of Thursday morn
ing, says:
Cup to late hour last night, nothing con-
elusive had been received from Ohio :;
chances, however, appear very favorable for
Ford, and it is confidently believed here
that he is elected by small ajority over
Weller"
This is about the sum and substance of
all we have been able to CLEAN from the
Western mail last night, and is about as I'M
satisfactory as to what may be the actual re-
suit as it can we'll be.
P. S.-Since the above was in type, dis
patch has reached us from our correspon-
dent a, Columbus, dated last evening.
The following is the dispatch referred to:
COLUMBUS, Oct. 20-P. NJ.
The official returns have not yet all been
received, though it is generally believed here
by we'll informed Wings that Ford has been
elected Governor of Ohio, by about 200
majority.
The Washington Union of Saturday gives
up the Governors election to the Wings.
1t says
owe have probably lost the Governor by
a few votes, but we have carried majority
of members of Congress, and of the House
of Assembly,

ple,e list of the members of Congress and

A MARRIAGE OF FRIENDs.-We witness
ed on Wednesday last, says the Winchester
Republican, the first Quaker marriage which
it had ever been our good fortune to see.-
1t was interesting TO US from its novelty as
as well as the decorum with which it was
conducted.
1t certainly requires some nerve on the
part of the young folks, to get up amidst
silent and anxious crowd, and publicly and
audlbly interchange their vows to be loving
and faithful until Death shall them part but
when the union oftwo loving hearts is resolv-
ed upon, all bashfulness mus, give way, and
every body must be told in plain terms that
the"tw are one"
When the parties were all assembled, and
seated in the Church, profound silence was
observed; and one of the venerable fathers
marriages being altogether different from
that of all other protesting Christians, no OBJ
lection was made to the attendance of spec
tators and there being no minister employ ed,
the only injunction given was, tina, quiet and
good order should be observed when the par
ties to the contract should arise, a, their own
pleasure, TO announce their purpose. In this
way, all could see and hear.
After half an hours silence, the youthful
couple arose and repeated the pledge usual
on such occasions. They were then seated
and the contract given them to sign. After
this, the certificate was read aloud by the
same venerable Friend who stated that ST.
lence would be again observed for proper
period as became people who feared God.
This being complied with, the meeting was
concluded and numerous witnesses then
placed their signatures TO the contract.
1t was bright day in all respects. May
the sunshine Of the happy pair always pre-
ponderale

ming and instantly killed. He was standing
in the door of the stable at the time, holding
a lantern SO as to enable negro boy to put
away the carriage which his master had been
using. His clothes were torn into fragments
and large portion of his hair burnt from
his head. The negro boy who was within
few feet of him at the time, was uninjured.
The horse, though, which was standing in
side the stable with the gear still upon him,
was instantly killed. THOMPSON was about
