the following comments on fhe conclusion
of the long farce Of the Christana trials.
The finalily of the compromise" IS bcauti.
fully illustrated by these proceedings.
awe learn from the Lancaster Intcll-
gcncer, that the ChristFlna murderers and
rioters have been finally discharged, and the
grave charges preferred against them entirely
abandoned. This ends the whole proceed
iags. The United States court may have
done their duty and the grand jury Of Lan-
caster county may have discharged their
obligations, but the truth is palpablc, that
the numbering Of one man, and the serious
woundirg Of another, still remains unyimdi-
Gated.
The laws of this State were recklcssly
violatcd-thc Constitution and laws of the
United States were trampcd under foot, and
citizen of another State ruthlessly assassi-
mated BY band of desperate fanatics-and
yet not one of the murdcrcrs were discov-
cred or punished. And all this occurred in
Pennsvlvania-in the midst of a people
prorerbial for their devotion to the common
interests of the entire country-in the broad
blaze of open day-with m ex-governor al
most within hearing of the tumult-and,
no one has been punished. There is neg
lect somewhere-there is fragrant violation
Of duty, the precedent of which will be in
fuential for future trouble and disorder.
The Christiana riots, resulting in death and
bloodshed, will long be remembered with
shame by the people of this State, ard re.
garded with indignation by the citizens of
the whole Union. The offended majesty of
law, and violated dignity of order, have been
either ignorantly or contcmptuousy neglect

tion will be dreadful"

The Death Of Webster.

Mr.. ]. Buchanan Read, of whose poetical pow
ers recent writer in the North British Review
expresses so decided an opinion, has written the
following on the event of the day:
The great are falling from us-to the dust
Our flag droops midway, full of many sighs
nations glory and peoples trust
Lie in the ample pail where Webster hes.
The great are falling from us-one by one
As fall the patriarchs of the forest trees;
The winds shall seek them vainly, and the sun
Gaze on each vacant space for centuries
Lo, Carolina mourns her steadfast pine, lrealm;
Which, like man-ulast lowered above her
And Ashland hears no more the voice divine
From out the branches Of ler stately elm.
And Marshfield's giant oak, whose stormy brow
Oft turned the ocean tempest from the West,
Lies on the shore he guarded lons-and now
Our startled Eagle knows not where to rest.

His trees vigorous, well adjusted and
profitable. In a recent conversation
with him he related his experience in
raising grapes and trees, entering into the
minute details sometimes becoming quite
eloquent when describing his victories
over the enemies which infest them
=" His knowledge he said, twas gained
by dint Of application, by actual expert
ence and hard labor; II was none OF

who knew nothing about farming. =

puzzled him, and he admitted that there
must be, after all, much that is valuable

To YOUNG MrN-In the year 1896,
a young man, mechanic, came to this
place, seeking employment as n Journey
man. His trade was a tin-smlth he
brought a letter of introduction to a
citizen of this place, who interested him
self in his behalf, and succeeded in get
ting him employment at bis business
He was without means, but by the assis
lance extended TO him he was enabled
TO start a small shop, where, Industrious
ly working at his trade, and adding a
few articles of hardware to the stock Of
his shop, he did a small, but prosperous
business in Milwaukee. BY industry aud
economy he was enabled 10 soon very
much extend his business, and finally
became an importer of hardware A
few years Of prosperous business made
him Independent. He then gave the
uprelntendency of the business to
others, and spent a couple of years in
travelling; visited England and other
portions of Europe. He afterwards re-
turned and purchased valuable prop
erly in Madison, the capitol of Wiscon-
sin, which he has rendered still more
valuable by erecting extensive mills, and
in making other judicious Improvements
He has at different times been solicit
cd TO accept Of positions Of trust and hon
or, but has unilormely declined, giving
strict attention to his own private affairs,
until he accumulated fortune
His integrity and well established
reputation for good business habits have
now brought him not only a Grst-raie
fortune, but political prelemont, aud a
distinguished position among the magis-
lrates of the country. We have sketch
