And the white sails Of ships; mon
And, from the lrownlng rampant, the black can

We're all alert that day,
To see the French war-stramcrs speeding over
When the fog cleared away.
Sullen and silent, and like couchant lions,
Their cannon, through the night, Hancc
Holding their breath. had watched in grim de-

And now they roared at drum-beat from their

Each answering each, with morning salutalons

And down the coast, all taking up the burden,
Replied the distant forts,
As if to summon from his sleep the warden

No moaning gun from the black forts embruzuIe
Awaken with their call
No more, surveying with an eye impartial

Shall! the gaunt figure Of the old Field Marsha

For in the night. unseen, a single warrior,
In Sombrc harness nailed
Dreaded OF man, and sulnamed the Destroyer

great, improved in their texture by rH-

wise, that they be Iiough"d during every
suitable season throughout this and nest

paid TO their condition, as such soils
should not be ploughrd when wet.
II such fields should require Inning or

MODE OF FEEDING GRAIN.
1t is TO your interest TO have all the
gram that you may feed to your stock
crushed, chopt, or ground, as by thus
feeding it out YOU may save at least one
fourth III quantity, while 1t will be easier
for the animals to digest, and, therefore,
more conducive to their health. When
thus fed out, it is best that their long
provender should be cut and mixed with
the grain food.

Melancholy Accident.

JOSEPH NJ. Mason, Esq, resident of the city
of Steubenville, met his death on Saturday eve.
ming last, in Columbus, by falling into an open
cellar-way on Broad street. The Statesman says
The deceased was unattended at the time of this
melancholy occurrence, but the position of his
body when found, and the appearance of the bruis-
es indicated that he had been walking with some
rapidity and on striking the projecting stone, was
thrown with great violence into the celar-way
lighting upon his head, with such force as imme-
diately or very shortly to produce death. Mr.
MASON was lawyer of considerable ability and
reputation, and was in Columbus in attendance
on the Supreme Court. He was about SO years
of age.

The Wheeling Bridge.

The difficulties arising from the erection of the
Bridge assume at present more impor-
tant aspect than was at first apprehended. The
United States Supreme Court having decided that
the structure should be removed entirely, or else
raised sufficiently high for boats to pass under it
without obstruction. The company petitfoned
Congress to declare the bridge post route, and
necessary for the transportation of the u s. Mail,
which was done accordingly.
This creates at once conflict between the
Legislative and Judicial departments of the Gov
ernment. In pursuance of the decree of the
Court, the United States Marshall will proceed to
