7wo Faces-The Hartford Times, the
democratic organ for Connecticut, abuses
the Administration for attempting to break
up the Cuba expedition-an expedition
which it characteristics as one intent upon
giving freedom to the people now under the
yoke Of Spain, but the real object Of which
is to perpetuate slavery in that island. On
the other hand the N. HI. Patriot (organ for
democracy in the Granite State, abuses the
administration for not taking more efficient

The Forest Trees.

Hail to the lone old forest tee,
Though past his ieafy prime
A type OF Englaud's past he,-
A tale OF her olden time.
He has her sons, for thousand years,
Around him rise and fall
But well his green old age he wears,
And still survives them all.
Thea long may his safeguard the pride and care
Of our ehildren's chi siren be;
And long may the axe and tempest spare
The lone old forest Tee
Tho Norman Baron his steed has rein'd,
And the pilgrim his journey stayed,
Aud the toll WON serf brief respite gaind
In his broad and pleasant shade
The fiiar aud forester loved il well
And hithcr the jocund horn,
And the solemn Of the vesper bell,
On The evening breeze were borne.
Friar aud forester, Lord and slave,
Lie a.ouliefins, side by side,
In the dreamless sleep Of a nameiess grnve,
Where reveiing earthwcrms hide:
And Echo no longer wakes ut the sound
Ofbugle or vesper chime
For castie and convent are ivy-bound
BY the ruthless naad fTime.
But gentle and few, with the stout old trcc,
Have tine spoilers dealings been;
And the brook, Of old, is clear and free,
And the turf beneath green.
Thus nature has scatter d on every hand
Her lessons, since earth began,
And long may her yIvan teacher stand,
A check to the pride OF man.
And long may his safeguard the pride and care
... OF our chiIdren's children be;
Long, long may the axe andtempest spare
The lone old forest tree.

Fire in williamson.

Our citizens, very generally were aroused
from their slumbers about ) o'clock. on
Saturday morning last, by the ringing Of
bells and alarm Of fire, occasioned by the
burning Of the car.house and Office attached
at the termination Of the railroad. The
FIRE appears to have originated in passen-
ger car inside Of ;he building, and is said TO
have been kinded by parcel Of drunken
vagranls, with a ruthless carelessness Of
consequences which is seldom equalled, in
any place, and never before exhibited in
this. By the time sufficient number Of
citizens were collected to'use theefre ap.
paralus efficiently, the whole building was
completely enveloped in flames. and no
etior, was made 10 check their progress, the
night being remarkably still, and the car
house luckily standing in such an isolated
position as not 10 'en3anger the houses
around it. Two cars, and valuable papers
in the office, were burned, and the total
loss is estimated at from $500 TO $1,000.

Farmers Clubs.

We have often urged upon our country
friends 10 form clubs for the discussion OF
matters in which they are particularly in.
lieresled. The pleasures and advantages
Sfthese associations can not be realized

necticut writes US that las, winter they
had club which me. once a-wcek by ap-
pointment a, the house of some member /;
taking care always TO have the female
members along with them, who usually oc-
cupied one room 10 discuss their own mat
ters, while the lords occupied themselves
in the discussions of the club in another.
One of the members acted as chairman
or moderator, and called up every men,
Der in rotation to speak to the question un.
der discussion, or give some information
about his peculiar manner Of fencing, or
keeping his stock or growing his crops,
with the manner OF powins, manuring,
&c.
lr this way, much useful information is
brought TO light and many very pleasant
evenings passed off during the long winter
months. Of course, few nuts, apples,
and cakes, and sometimes cup Of tea add
to the enjoyment.
We commend great many ether neigh.

the present winter. and increase not only
