REVOLUTIONARY HERO.

There is now living at Haddonfeld, a
man upwards of 80 years Of age, named
James B. Cooper, who retains clear and
distinct memory, and is conversant with
nearly all the revolutionary scenes in and
about Philadelphia. He belonged to Lees
Legion, but is the only. surviving man Of
that intrepid party. Il a.nntered Lees Le-
gon when he was besmeen the age Of II
and Is years, and continued with it until
the peace of 1883. He was at the taking
of Stony Point and Powles Hook, also at
the battle of Guilford, N. c., and Eutaw
Springs, S. c.. He was in the company
who assisted in taking Forts Watson, Mott,
and CRANKY, S. c.; and Forts Galphin and
Augusta, Ga, likewise in the seige Of '96
in South Carolina. His urbanity and bold
ness rendered him favofite, and won for
him the confdence of Col. Lee, and the es-
teen of the army. Col. Lee selected him
as bearer of his dispatches to Congress,
and also to the COMMANDMENT. Chief; and
he was entrustedby his commander to carry
the flag of truce 10 the British Commander.

declaration OF Wafag ag,sin=s,tireat Britain in
1912, he entered the Navy asa sailing Mas
ter. After the Termination of that contest,
he was presented by President Monroe with
Lieutenant's Commission. This took place
in 1922, and was special favor, as there
were no other pro:noti'n,s until the year
1926. He was, in lbe .73d year of age, or.
dered on duty in the lNswal ASYLUM. Mr..
Cooper bids fair to ou,live,. perhaps, AL the
other heroes of the Revolution. Last year.
three others drew their pensions at the same
place he did, but this year they have not
presented themselves 10 the office for that
purpose, having probably paid the debt of
nature, and gone down to a patriots grave.

WE learn from the Chattanooga Gazette
that company has been recently formed in
Chattanooga for the erection of a large es.
tabIishment for the manufacture of rail road
iron. The company is composed Of men
of wealth, enterprise and intelligence, and
it may be safely calculated that the work
will be pushed forward to completion at an
early day. There is an abundance of the
raw material, and the location every way
favorable for such an enterprise. The grow
ing demand for iron rails, and the high prices
exacted by the European manufacturers
render it necessary that the competition al
home should in some degree control the ex
torliop abroad. In various portions of this
country we have an abundance of material
and it only requires to be put in proper
shape in order to supply at least portion
of the present enormous demand.

WHEN IDIE.

WILLIAM L oAG.
When die, oh! dearest Hattie,
When the death damps dim my eye,
When they bear me from the homestead,
Low in the grave to lie,
Wilt thou be with them, Hattie,
And breathe above the bier,
Of the playmate of thy childhood,
A fond and fervcnt prayer!
Wilt thou watch them as they lay me
Low in my narrow bed;
And leave me there to slumbcr,
With the cold and silent dead2
would have them lay me, Hattie,
Where the streamlet gently flows,
Where evening zephyrs murmur,
When the west with purple glows3
Meath the branches Of the willow,
That we have loved so well,
'Tis there that would slumbcr,
When with the dead dwell.
Raise there no storied monument
To consecrate the spot,
But plant a fragrant rose tree,
To tell Pm not forgot.
Bring fragrant flowers, the first that bloom,
And strcw them o'er the sod,
Their breath will rise from the silent spot
Like sweet incense unto God.
We loved those bright hued buds, Hattie,
In childhod's happy day;
a. Then hang them o'er my tomb, dearest,
Nv. 2 When there you CHANGED to stray.
And come at the hour of even,
When the lamps are 1t on high,
And list to the spirit voices
That through the willows sigh.
Come at the holy hour, Hattie,
And beside that grassy mound,
Recall the past, the happy past,
And the wealth ofjoys we found.
Thout remember all our rambes,
BY the rivers sparkling tide;
Our wandcrngs through the green wood,
And up the mountains side.
Our meetings at tue twilight hour,
Where the pale leaved willows wave;
AL, all will rush upon>thee,
AS thou sittest beside my grave.
Then when die, oh, dearest Hattie,
When the dark pail strouds my face,
Have them lay me in that hallowed spot,
Our old loved trysting place.
shall rest mrch calmer, Hattie,
The death damps seem less cold,
IF ] know that shall sumbcr.
By the stream we loved Of old.

HoGs-PRIcEs IN CINcINNArI.--By com
pairing the returns of the StIte Aul to-
for forsy-four COUNTIES in Ohio, it appears
that the number of hogs as e 'sed this sea.
son is l,3l5, 5,498, against 683 O3l last
year. A portion of this increase is atribu-
ted to the discontinuancc of the exemption
this year of the $500 worth to each pro-
ducer. AS regards prices, We snneK the
following from the price Current Of October
9th.
The prospect Of heavy demands from
Europe, as might be expected, impars ii
buoyant feeling to the market for hogs, and
within two weeks prices have advanced
76c per hundred pounds, and now SIS is
being paid. and is obtainable for hogs de-
liverable in this and November; in addition
to which, slaughterers are contracting for
the killing at 3Oc per head premium. 1t is
now reduced to certainly, that the market
will be fully up to or over SIS per hundred
net; which will be fully, up to the opening
price last year We do not know pack
er. however, who would think of paying
this price with the view of going through
the season with the products. We may
therefore conclude, that the opening price
will not be an indication of the price that
will be paid during or at the full commence
ment OF the regular packing season. But
still, II cannot be denied that prospects are
decidedly more favorable TO the interests
of the farmers than they we're three weeks
ago; while with reference TO packers, they
are the reverse.
