Anronorr. following circumstance

AYEcpoTE.-The following circumstance
happened in one of the towns OF Arkansas
A man had been drinking until late hour at
night before he started for home. Honest
folks had been long in bed, and the houses
were all shut and dark The liquor he had
taken was too much for him-he did not know
where to go. lie at last staggered into an en-
pity Wagon shed, and fell upon the ground.
For long time he lay in the unconsci"usness
of drunken sleep, and would have frozen, (or
the snow on the ground showed the night to be
very cold } had not others, less nscnslble than
himself been around him. This shed was
favorte rendezvous for the hogs, which rushed
out when the conner arrived, but soon returned
to their bed In the utmost kindness, aud with
the truest hospitality, they gave their biped
companion the middle Of the bed-some lying
on either side of him, and others acting the
part of the quilt. Their warmth prevented
him from being injured by his exposure,
Towards morning he awoke finding himself
comfortable, and in blissiul innocence OF his
whereabouts, he supposed himself enjoying the
Accommodations of a tavern IN company WIN
other gentlemen. lie reached out his hand,
and catching hold Of the stiff brisiles Of a hog,
exclaimed, why, mister, when did you 'hare

GTWe received yesterday the following
communication from Providence correspon-
dent, for which he will please accept our thanks.
Providence, Sept. 10, 1913.
EGor Of the Herald:
Sir--I have just returned TO my room after
Witnessing in company with thousands of 9TH
ers, the beautiful and remarkably accurate ma
nGuverlng of your company of fremen, who
are now visiting this city as the guests Of Hy-
.drauon Company, No. /.
Our citizens have been made glad at various
times of late, by The presence of like companies
from our neighboring cities and towns, and
much qualification has been found in witnessing
heir varied meandcrings and intcrtwinlngs,
W hllc being executed by our fremcn, hut there
has never bofore appeared among US a compa-
ny, whose variety, beauty and perfection of
movement, could at all compare with the fault
less manGuvcring Of your No. 5, this evening,
efore the City Hotel Ii is source of regret
to many, very many among us, that our com
panies were not more generally out Ihls even
ing, and 1t is only justice TO our iiremcn TO
state, that more than one company would have
Joined the procession who were not there, had
they known that the No. were to remain over
night in the city and another cause is the
latcness of the season, and many who but a
brief period since could lay aside business for a
day, are now closely confined thereto. Thus
from imperfect knowledge Of their intention on
the one hand, and tho urgent claims of busi-
ness on the other, your townsmen did no. meet
with that hearty and whole souled reception
which they could have wished They may
without egotlsm write upon their banner, as
far as relates to all that is ornamental in mod
ern fro tactics" Ne plus ultra; and when.
soever and where,oever they go, they need
not fear Of being excelled, while they main
tain their present standard Of excellence. II
those who have been with US to-day are fair
representatives Of those who tarry at home
Newport may well and justly pride herself up
on her fremen.
As fireman of this city, | candidly and
freely award to them the palm, and hope that
we shall a, some future, but not distant hour,
enjoy the pleasure Of another visi, from them,
when we shall be prepared TO yield to them a
more cordial and hearty welcome

Free Soil.

1t is really amusing TO witness the srdor
manifested by the Van Buren papers in order
TO make the country believe that they are the
only simon pure," /" Free Soil'' advocates
TO be found in the length and breadth Of the
land. They would fain make the people be-
lieve that they have just discovered a grea,
principle in human government, after having
for years been steadily opposed to any move
mcnt tending to check the progress Of Slavery
from becoming the grave Of the republic and
now, seeing that they can no longer deceive
the people into supporting them, they mike a
great hue and cry abouta great principle which
has been steadily advocated by the Wing par
~ for the las, twenty years agains, their steady
ard united opposition, and could Mr. Van Bu-
rem have been tho Nominee Of the Baltimore
Convention, Free Soil" would never have
found it's way into their vocabulary. Who but
they passed tho "gag" lava rule Of Con-
gress that debared American freeman the ex-
crcise Of oie Of their dearest righis--ihe neh,

have the blot eiIaced from the rules of the
House, until the people demanded its repeal
in tones not to be misunderstood Who but
they brought about the annexation of Texas,
thereby enlarging the area" of freedom !;
that is, adding slave territory to our already
extended Republic Who but they brought
about the Mexican war in order that the " area
Of freedom" might be still more extended =
Who but they would open the mails and TAX
therefrom all that their Southern masters
might dictate !-and finally, who but they have
stopped to anything and everything in political
matters, however despicablc, for the sake of
Office, against all that is noble, dignifed and
manly IN human nature. Can any Wing be
wheeded into the support Of such pebald
party as that presented by the Buffalo Convene
tion, because they have been forced to adopt
one of the measures of the Wing party, and
that too, when one of its most celebrated Ora
tors has declared, "Mat the first article Of their
creed ,cas 10 defeat the Wings" No wonder
Mr.. Webster IN his recent speech at Marsh
field said, "if he (Mr. Van Burcn) and
should now find ourselves under the " Free
Soil' flag, am sure, that with his accustom-
cd good nature, he would laugh-if nobody
were with us, we should both laugh at the
strange jumbes of political life which had
brought him and II to sit down snugly, cozily
and comfortably on the same platform" We
will not believe that any true Wing will desert
the great principles of the Whig party after
fighting steadily for Free Soil" and free
dom ever since it had name, and join that Of
antagonistic principles in every other great
measure Of government.
The Wing party stand, and hare erer stood
