ARREST AND EsCAPz.-O1 Wednesday OF

Elisha Pangborn Jr. of this place who is charg-
ed with having stolen about $3.50 in money
while in California few months since. The
warrant was issued by Gov Wood upon arequi
siton from Gov. Bigler of California.
The arrest created quite an excitement among
the friends of the accused who insisted that he
should be lodged in jail here to await the arri-
val of the officer who was to take him to Cali
fornia. He then could have the advice of ocun-
sci as to the validity of the papers and could
have the benefit of habeas corpus should

TAKE ME HOME To DIE.

This land is very bright, mother,
The Flowers are very fair,
There is magic in the orange groves,
And fragrance in the air
But take me TO my good old home.

Let US 60 back again mother
Oh, take me home TO die.
Let my fathers hand but rest, mother,
In blessing on my head,
Let nv brothers and sisters dear,
But throng around my bed;
Oh, let me feel that loved ones near,
Receive my parting breath,
When l bid you all good night, mother,
And sleep the sleep of death.
Dear mother, l am weeping,
l cannot stop the tears,
They're swelling at the thought Of home,
And Of my early years.
But | am getting faint, mother,
oh take me to your breast,
Let me feel your lip, mother,
but on my iorehead press.
There's dimness on my sight, mother
! cannot get my breath;
Is it your sobs hear, mother
Oh tell me, is this death ?
You'll tell my father how yearned,
Once more to see him near,
You'll kiss my brothers each for me,
They will forget, fear.
You'll tell my sister-brothers dear,
have gone up on high;
And if they are good childred here,
They will see me when they die.

One kiss ere life is riven;
Farewell, my own dear mother,
