ORITIARY.

Digb, March 3lsl i849. in The eighteenth
year Of her uge, nl the house of BENJAMIN Boce
Esq. in Mechanicslown. MARY JANE. wife
Of WILLIAM II. GREER, Of Magnolia, Slark
county.
The deceased was born in Ireland. and in the
summer Of l847, came to this country. Far
from her friends and native land, she found q
hospitabe home within the borders Of our own
county. The winter OF her seventeenth year
had just closed, when she gave her hand and art
less, coBiding heart TO her betrolhed in mar.
riage. But brief week has passed,-an now
the sweet-scenied flowers bloom, and the first
spring birds carol their morning songs on her
early grave. The bridal dress thus became
her winding sheet. The incense burnt at the
hymeneal altar, now minges with the ashes Of
her funeral urn. The flower just opening in
beauty, chilling and untmely frost has cut of
or rather, may we not hope, that it has been
lransplanted into that Eden where flowers ever
bloom, and where spring never ends.
May that mysterious Providence who brings
light out Of darkness,--whose bow Of promise
is never set but in the cloud cuuained sky oI
storms, iumine the heart of the husband now
shadowed in gloom, and roll back the dark cloud
Of disappointment, which now hangs over the
morning Of his life. .......,

Is Old Zack a Mhigl

During the Presidential canvass which result
ted in the election Of Gen. Taylor, the Locos
prolessed to believe that he was not Whg, and
declared that if he was elected he would prove
a second Tyler. We presume, however, that
thew have come to the conclusion, ere this, and
are, now, willing TO admit that "Old lack" is a
liHle Whiggish. Enough so for the most "ul-
ira Whig," and a little too much so for some oi
our Locoloco friends. The policy of General
Taylor's administration, as shadowed forth in
his Inaugural address, will prove entirely satis-
factory 10 the grea, Wing party of the country,
and will receive the cordial support of every
true Wing. We are inclined 10 believe, also,
that the government will be so administered by
him as to merit the appreciation Of large por-
ton of the opposition party So far, his course
seems to meel the approval OF all parties. We
trust it will so continue, and that his Admins
traton will have tendency to aIIOy party feel
ing, 10 some extent. We feel assured that he
will prove himself the President Of ''the coun.
try, the whole country" and that his admins.
traIion will tend 10 advance the interests Of all
classes We, confidently, believe that it will
prove blessing TO our country, and that the PeO-
pie, regardless of party, will yet rejoice at his
election 10 the Presidency.

LOaling Politicians,

In most Of our county towns there are a few
mon, who may be properly termed loafng poll
tcians, who are, ever, seeking allerthe little Off
ces in the gift of the people. They are gcner-
ally the greatest brawlers of the party TO which
they happen to belong, and will labor very ar
IDENTIFY just as long as there is prospect of OBJ
tanning political favors-just as long as they are
receiving or expecting TO receive few crumbs
from the political table. So lsng they are great
patriOts.f But, should the people take it into
their heads TO withhold further supplies, they
flare right up and swear eternal opposition TO the
party with which they have labored for years
eternal opposition to the principles which they
have advocated so loud and SO long. 1t is rot
. uncommon for some half dozen Of these patri-
oic gentlemen 10 be candidates for the same Of
fee. But one can succeed and sometimes the
people cast them all aside, and, as a matter of
course, they all come to the conclusion that they
have been very badly treated, and are ready to
be bought up by any party that will bid most for
them. Such individuals can, generally, be pur.
Chased, by scheming politicians, at very low Prl-
ces. A very small office will induce them to
adopt and advocate principles which they have,
prolessedy, been opposed 10 for years, and which
they would have continued 10 war against had
the party, TO which they belonged, continued
them in Office or given them the one they sought.
Such persons are unworthy the confidence
of any party, and are lookedup even by those
who buy them up and use them as tools, with
contempt.

PKoFITs ON RAILROADS. actual clear
earnings over all expenses, of the "Madison

are over 100000, making about Is per cent

tends from Madison, on the Ohio river, to lndi-
annapolis, the seat of Government of the Stale
Of Indiana; neither terminus being places Of
much business and Importance. A calculation,
founded on any reasonable data, will show that

New Temperance Organization.

John Kercheva, ESQ.,, of ST. Louis, proposes
new temperance organization. He assumes
the position that the present "Order of Sons Of
Temperance" must fall by its own weight
that the defects in it are such as necessarily to
lead TO its dissolution. He proposes to COM
plete the organization by founding new order
with "degrees, grips, signs, and other tokens to
enable the member to make himself known in
any, and under every circumstance, by night or
day."-Dayton Transcript.

0rrThe Xenia Torchlight saws:


"E. S. HAMLlN, elected by the late Legisla-
ture q member of the Board of Public Works,
has been perambulating the State for month
past, endeavoring to find some one silly enough
to go his security for the faithful discharge OF
the duties of that office. He was here about a
week since, dogging the heels of his brethren
in the free soil faith, but all his efforts to procure
their names to his bond were unsuccessful. We
doubt whether he can find responsible man in
the State, who will go his bond for $3o,OOO.-
What excuse can the members of the Legislature
who elected him to that responsible station, offer
the people, for foisting upon them man whom
they thus openly admit is irresponsible and un-
worthy of trust and con6dence!"
