OUR MEETING.

DR.. E. B. OLDs addressed quite 70.
spectacle gathering Of tho people Of this
county on Tuesday. the 3lst ult., at this
place. But owing to the sickness prevail.
ing here, the meeting was not near Sc large
as it would have been under other circum.
stances. One thing we were gratifisd TO
noticc-every township in the county
save one, and possibly that also o-was rep.
resented at the meeting. The best feeling
prevailed, and those in attendance with
whom we conversed, expressed themselves
highly gratiied, and returned homo with
determination to roll up large majority
for Pierce and King at the Novembes
election.
The speech Of DR.. Obs was listened to
with the greatest attention. All seemed
well pleased that they had turned out to
hoar him.
We are satisfied, if the democracy can
only be broughtto the polls, that this coun-
ty can roll up 500 majority for Pierce pd
King. Who, then, will take so little inter.
est in the affairs OF this nation as to be
away from the polls on the day Of electionl
We hope not one.
The ST. Clairsville Gazette, in speaking
of the meeting al Barnesville, says:

mentative, and unanswerable. He was
frequently interrupted during its delivery
by lively demonstrations Of applause.

baoraye car was drawn after, and rolled
completely over it, and the passenger cars
followed. but becoming detached, they fell

Although much calmness and presence
Of mind were eyinced by all. still scene

PARTICULARS OF THE EXPLOSION
or TIE DIR. FRANKLIN NO. 2.

We copy the following details OF his
dreadful steamboat disaster, from Inc St.
Louis Intelligencer of The 25lh:
The Whirlwind arrived in port at about
noon yesterday, having in tow the ill'lated
steamer DR.. Franklin. from Genevleye.
We learn from Mr.. Virden. one OF her
clerks, and the officer in command yester
day, that up to tho hour OF leaving st.
Genevieve--l0 o'clock, Monday-twen,y-
nine bodies of her crew and deck passen-
gers had been buried. and from ten TO
twelve more are still missing.
As previously reported. the accident oc-

the boa, was under full headway. lmme-
diatoly after the explosion, the anchors
were thrown overheard, and the boat
brought to; after drifting some two or three
hundred Yards, she also took hre but ny
the cxertion Of her officers and crew, the
flames were subdued by the constant ap'
picaton of water from buckets. and the
| lives of the uniujured on board thus pre-
served.
Mr., Virden attributes the accident main
| ly TO the want Of water in the boilers, whlcf
! had probably escaped the attention OF the
Engineer, from the quantity OF mud they
! contained. Evidence Of this fact is no
wanting; the sides Of the main cabin in tn
boa, were literally bsdaubed with mu'

Ofthe cabin passengers. no one was Sc

and little daughter, and several others oc

PICTURES OF MEMORY . BY ALICE CAREY.
Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
L. one of n dim old forest.
That seemeth best Of all l.:
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the misleto:
Not for the yioets golden
That sprinkle the dale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lead from the fragrant hedge
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams.
And stealing their golden edge
Not for the vines on the old upland
Where the bright red berries rest
Nor the pinks. nor the pale. sweet cowslip,
1t seemeth to me the best.
l once had little brother.
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that dim old forest
He ieth in peace asleep:
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers.
The summers Of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one OF the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
bed of the yellow leaves.
sweetly bis pale arms folded
My neck in a meek embrace.
Az the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the'arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright,
He fell. in his saint-iike beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, Of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall.
The one of the dun old forest
Seemeth the bett of all.

Too MICH FOR HUMAN ENpuRANcE.-We heard
good old deacon somewhere out in GO York State
and was something after this WISE He was one
OF those upright dignifed sort of men who make
it a rule to perform their duty, and then make
the best of the matter, however the event NAV
turn out; but every thing on his farm was kept
in the neatest of order. 1t had got to be quite
late in the season for moving, and still the dea-
con had fine piece of grass, which he had been
unable to cut on account of the press of other
matters; so one beautiful day he put on large
force, and by noon he had it all down and spread
about in nice order, when there came up O
shower and wet it. After the shower, the old
gentleman came out and walked about perfectly
cool, and the next day he had it again spread to
dry; about noon there came another shower;
well, out came the deacon again with a long
face and the dignfed air becoming one in his
station, looked at the hay and walked into the
house. The next day being pleasant, he had the
hay dried, loaded and driven into the barn, into
which they had got just as another shower
had begun to fall, The deacon congratulated
himself that he had finally succeeded in secur-
ing the hay, when gust of wind struck the
barn, gushing through and completely sweeping
the hay, scattering it to the four quarters and
tearing the barn doors from their hinges, one of
which, hitting the old gentleman, prostrated
him in the mud and fell on top of him. After the
door had been removed from him he surveyed
the ruins for q few moments and then exclaimed:
''Well, think it time for me to express my SEN
timents''
