the following obituary notice:
Died yesterday evening, at its locality in
front Of our office, after enjoying several
months of high life, and sound as dollar,
the wing pole: The flag that Aoated from
it was never Hauled down.
eve gave it to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale"
The furious blasts of November tore it
stripe by stripe, until, at last, its silver stars
disappeared in blaze of glory. The pole
itself still! proudly stood, an emblem Of wing
defiance We were unwilling, however, that
it should survive wing administration. I'M
itating the devotion of the Hindoo wife to
the memory of her husband, and the affec-
ton Of the mockingbird that poisons her i'm
prisoned young, the pole had to suffer mar
tyrdom. We could not loan it to our neigh
Dor, as we had done our Growing rooster.
The present misery of the latter, "cabined,
cribbed, confined" in a democratic printing
office, was too ptiable, to allow us to subject
aught else to the same condition; and SO we
applied the axe.
Peace be to that ash poles ashes.
