The season.
BY THOMAS HOOD.


Summers gone and over!
Fogs are falling down;
And with the russell tinges,
Autumn's doing brown.
Boughs are daily rifled
By the busy thieves,
And the Book of Nature
Getteth short of leaves.
Round the tops of houses,
Swallows as they fit,
Give like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies of tickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and day together,
Taking half and half.
So September endeth-
Cold and most perverse-
But the months that follow,
Sure will pinch us worse!

A PAIR OF REVEREND TAYLoR1rEs.

among other speakers were T. Jones
Stewart, of Woodville, and Rev. ]. H.
Muse, of La. To show how well they
agree about old Zach's politics, the Gin
ton Floridian puts the following senti-
ments on record
Gen. Taylor has made full, fair and
candid declaration of his political opin-
ions, and they have been published to the
world--James H. Muse, of La.
Gen. Taylor has never declared his
political opinions, and thank God for it.
Gen. Washington did not declare his po-
litical opinions when candidate for the
presidency.-Jones Stewart, Of Miss.

bribery, and that Taylor himself had been
guilty Of treachery and falsehood, con-
Guided by saying that, as between Cass,
Van Buren,, and Taylor, he should vote
for Taylor! This lame and impotent con-
clusion was followed by fifteen minutes
of the utmost confusion, yells of disappro-
baton, cheers for Clay, and Kisses and
groans for Bolts. Horace Greeley made a
speech against the extension of slavery; a
Clay song was sung; Willis Hall, pres
ident, said he could not vote for Taylor,
but must yield to Clay's request net to
use his name, and the meeting adjourned
with nine cheers for Clay, Bolts speech
was some like Webster's!

wooster Bank The Injunction granted!

Itgiyes US pleasure to state that writs of
injunction have at length, been granted by
Judge Cox, restraining the President, Di-
rectors and Co., of the Bank Of Wooster
from selling or transferring the assets of the
bank for fraudulent purposes; and also, re-
straining the debtors of the bank from
making payment to the bankers.
Our readers are already advised that an
effort was made at the late term of court in
Wooster, to get an injunction, but owing to
the shrewd management of the bank attor-
nies, and some discrepancies in the bill
praying for the injunction, the effort failed.
This tickled the bankers pfodigiously-they
thought the matter settled. After making
the huge display of legal ability in their
service, they supposed no man would have
the temerity to urge them further to pay
their honest debts. But how delusive all
their hopes! Messrs. Glasgow & Jeffries,
the Attornies prosecuting the bank, Were not
exactly satisfied $50 they got up separate
bills, followed Judge Cox to Medina and
got writs of injunction granted. Since then
the bank has payed off the claims in the
hands of Glasgow & Jeffries. Wayne Co.

Some Of the Riches of California.

cife,which speaks in glowing terms Ct the
productiYeness of the quicksilver mines in
Upper California. Two of them in partic-
ular are said to be singularly rich. One
of these Forbes mine) is represented to be
so productive, that the quicksilver is as
cheap as iron. Now, when il is recollected
that mercury is worth about as much as a
dollar pound, many of the silver mines
cannet afford to be worked, the reader will
see at once how valuable these quicksilver
mines must be, and how well calculated
they are to enlarge the operations of the sill
yer mines. Yet Mr.. Webster would have
us believe that, exclusive of her ports,~ Cali
fornia would be scarcely worth to us one
