which are sometimes miles apart, to watch
for the deer passing out; for this reason

skir!ed up opposite sides of wide belt of
bottom timber, while the drivers aud
dogs penetrated it, to rouse the deer,
which ran out on either side by the stands,
which were known TO the hunters. We
were unusually successful, and returned to
late dinner at our hosts the planters

THE FARMERS SONG.

"A life on my native soil
A home in farmers cot
I'll never at labor recoil,
ask for no happier lot.
The town has nothing to charm,
With its turmoil and noise and strife;
On give me a snug little farm,
With kind and notable wife.
Chorus-A life on my native soil
A home in a farmers cot
With my faithful team will toll
And ask for no happier lot.
Gee up gee up =
Gee up, gee up, and gee 0!
On nv native soil / stand,
Midst blossoming fields around
While the air is pure and bland,
And the hills with herds abound;
The river is flowing by,
The song of the boatman we hear;
And the laborers, how they ply,
While echo sends round their cheer!
How cheerful it is to view
Whole valleys of waving grain,
And the husbandman's jovial crew,
With sickles prostrating the plain;
0, the song of my heart shall be,
While earth her rich product yields,
The life of farmer for me,
A home in the forest and fields

STRANGE MORTALITY ON BLACK RIvER.-The
following paragraph appears in the last Concordia
Intelligencer:
M4Y Of the planters on Black River have lost
the most while some of them have lost all of their
young calves, lately. The mortality cannot be ac-
counted for. The animals are smitten as with a
plague and sink beyond all remedy on the instant.
The death of the young calves is not the worst fsa
ture of this visitation. The mortality is general
along both sides of the river, and the people of
Black River sDiu haze It that this is the sure pre-
cursor of an epidemic visitation upon the portion of
the human family dwelling thefs. We sincerely
hope that their fears more than their judgment have
associated such an alarming prospect with their
present comparatively triling loss

The ROCHESTER Posi- OFFICE.-The young
man. Edward H. c. Griffin, charged on suspicion
as the perpetrator Of the recent thes of letters at
the post Office and quoted in all the papers as a
criminal has been discharged by the u S. Com
missioner, before whom the evidence was taken
Ihere was no proof distinctly duplicating him,
ratner than others in the office, and there was
'O'al absence Of proof showing that he had been
seen 10 have more money than a lad in his ciroum-
stances ought to have or that he had incurred I'M
usual expenses. The discharge was " cheered "
oy the spectators, which shows that Griffin is
thought well of by the Rochester people.
