holding meetings to discuss the outrage
on board the brig Fabins, Capt. Fon-
tame, of Philadelphia, which had been
in port for several days.

BlOOmeriSnl - Dead.
Ho! every jovial Benedict
Who monrned for freedom fed,
Shout loud and raise your head erect.
For Bloomerism S dead.
Fling forth your sayest rantaloons
A banner to the breeze,
And chant your merriesl gala tunes
To tell your glad release.
The brooches. magic sceptrc, long
Had marked you s:born to reign,'
Till Boomers "ardent grasp and strong"
The badge OF power had Ia zen.
How then, Crealion's lords, forlorn,
unpan'alooned We straycd,
Fulfilling ''Inan is made to MOURN"
BY Bloomerism swayed.
But with the brecches cares unknown
Came trooping every hour,
Till "hetter halves" aside have thrown
Those troublous signs ofpower.
Then shout each jovial Benedict
Who mourned your freedom fled,
Wave high your hat with head erect,
For Bloomerism IS dead.

the North, the harbngers ofapproachins snow
storms and cold, are with us, lowering about the
fence-rows and in the gardens; when the snow
covers the ground they draw nearer to the
houses, chlrrip at tho window and pick crumbs
from the door sill. From their nesting places,
far in the northern regions beyond the habilu-
llOns of men, they are annually driven BY the
approach OF intense cold, and spreading over our
country they cover it by their immense numbers
from Maine to Alabama, adding variety and
beauty to our snowy landscapes. We seldom
see them without calling to mind the lines BY
Lesgett, quoted below:
"The birds. when winter shades the sky,
Fly DER the seas away,
Where smiling isles in sunshine lie,
And summer brcczrs play:
And thus the friends that nut,er near
When fortunes sun is warm,
Are startled if a cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from winters bowling plains
Each other warbIcr's passed,
The little snow-birl still remains,
And chirrups mid the blast.
Love, like thai bird, when friendships throng,
With fortunes sun depart,
Still fingers with the cheerful song
And nestles in the heart.''
DWhat's in a name! We had given TO
the compostor an article headed very nearly as
the one below, when the latter was handed in
by contributor to this column.

sation, he would be most surprised at the small

You meet fellow locomoting at the express

you is: "What's the news?" If you're green
in the ways of the world, you muttcr out some
thing about the scarcity Of that article-bnt if
you're in a mood to be witty, you'll say, the last
ners of course, with cunning grin.
Every body is asking 'Wha,'s the news?''
as every body had nothing to do but "learn
the news" Now I'd like to know, what every
body wants with so much news. II is grave
qucstion-people are always inquiring about it,
nobody seems to have a supply. What's news
worth! where does it come from? where does
it go tor For that it goes nobody doubts and
that it must have come, before it could go is
equally certain. 1t also must 90 as fast as il
comes, for there's always room for a fresh sup.

wouldn't be a profitable nvention-make it tc

The Express Trains.-With a shrill shrek,
half whistle and half yell with rumbling like
summer thunder, and SILVER oithe ground, the
express train of cars pass by twice day, leaving
black trail of smoke, laziy TO float OIL towards
the cold slaty sky. They do not stops Elklon,
like other trains, for wood and water. The rail
road is now in better order than usual and the
trains make good time.

More Trecs.-We heretofore insisted that the
row oftrees commencing at Johnson's Hotel and
running, with here and there an interval. as far
as the Presbyterian Church, should be filled up
and extended, and have been pleased lately to
see it continued before that church and in front
of the residence of the Rev. Mr.. Howell. Let
those who own property, before which there are
no trees, see to il that they are plantcd; they
add to the appearance Of the town and to the
value of the grounds they ornament; and in the
warm days of summer no argument is needed to
show how grateful the shade is. Presently the
trees to be planted before the Court House will
continue the row in another direction.
