our citizens generally suppose.
The Court House is now nearly finish

Commissioners have taken the wise plan
of paying for it at once, and getting the
county out of debt as soon as possible.
For this reason the taxes this year will
be high-in all, fifteen mills on the dol

LINES-By Bryant.

The May sun sheds un amber light
On new-leaved woods and lawns between;
But she who, with a smile more bright,
Welcomed and watched the springing green
Is in her grave,
Low in her grave.
The fair white blossoms Of the wood
In groups beside the pathway stand;
But one the gentle and the good,
Who cropped them with farer hand,
Is in her grave,
Low in her gave.
Upon the woodlands morning airs
The small birds mingled notes are flung;
But she whose voice, more sweet than theirs,
Once bid me listen while they sung,
Is in her grave,
Low in her grave.
That music Of the early year
Brings tears of anguish to my eyes;
My heart aches when the flowers appear,
For then think other wholes
Within her grave,
Low in her grave.

TEMPERANcE.-We are told BY the Mi
ner's Express and other Locofoco papers,
that this question should not be mixed up
with politics. Oh! no, for if i. il, say they,
the Democratic party must array them
selves against it; and Of course, it must
fall. Ab, indeed, we fear not the issue
and tho soouer it can be made political
question, the better. There are plenty Of
good men who are ready TO support it, not
outstanding the fears and ,remblings Of
the Locofoco journals. But let us here
ask, why MUST the Democratic party op
pose it? Can they not adopt it as one of
their principles, and thus give the Wings
no advantage over them on this score?-
Will the Sentinel answer this question:
The day is not far distant when politics
will sink into utter insignifcance before
this great moral question; and the friends
Of Temperance will stand up and advocate
their principles without fear or favor-they
will stand upon their merits and beg nc
mercy al the hands Of their opponents.

Yesterday resolution was roted dorn,

have thought iha, these terrible anti-bank

stand up TO shield the naughty banks from
a proper investigation? And who would
have supposed the shank bought Wigs
would have been the only ones TO stand up
and protect the people against their enea
mics.
/ The truth of history requires that we
should briefly explain how this was done
One OF the Cincinnati delegation introdu-

tlon by the Auditor, or by some one to be
employed by him. This WAS regarded as
tproposi;ion to give that most remarkable
genius, w. F. johnson, the Locofoco would

elegant -epo,. on the City Bank was only
cqualed By the Qudrtermaster GeneraTsre-

ditor was lost. An amendment that no
cost should be made chargeable upon the
treasury, prerniled. This knocked every
particle of patriotism out ofthe resolution,
and as there was to be no pay for the ex-
animation, ofcoursc the examination would
do no good Every one who has watch

this!

Mr. Waterhouse was puzzled and anus

young lady. But she was for having the
money, and no trouble. She said The dust
heap might be worth much, but they did
not understand the business. "Very well, !"
said her father, laughing, "then there's
the money"
This was the inden,ical dust heap, as we
know from authentic information, which
was subsequently sold for forty thousand
pounds, and was exported to Russia TO re-
