TAe old BAY state.


Tho Old Bay State; the Old Bay State;
My native State give me
Above all others, north or south
The cradle of the free.
Her mountains and her pleasant streams,
The forest and the glen,
Are dearer, fairer far to me,
Than all the haunts of men.
In her first 'ross the mighty arm
That laid the tyrant low,
Her sons first braved that tyrant's wrath,
First struck the avenging blow.
Her daughters-who shall sing their praise?
My pen is all too weak
To paint the brightness of the eye,
The roses on the cheek
But north, and south, and east, and west,
Will join, l think, with me,
TO praise the beauties of my State
The cradle Of the free. N.

L OCAL MATTERS,

DR. GARDINHR.-This gentleman, whose name
has been extensively published in connection
with the awards of the Mexican Commission, in
the papers of the country, returned to the city on
Thursday from visit to Mexico. 1t is stated he is
IN full possession of facts proving beyond contro-
versy the existence of the silver mine claimed by
him near San Luis Potosi, of which he alleges he
was dispossessed by the Mexican authorities, and
for which award was made in bis favor by the
Board of Commissioners under the treaty. We
ahall be rejoced to find the Doctor right, and the
opposition to him wrong
RAILROAD ARRANeEmENrs.-By notice from
the agent, Mr.. Parsons, it is stated that the
hour of leaving Washington on Sunday afternoons
should be p. M, and not 81 p. IN as heretofore
printed. Additional information concerning the
railroad connexions will be found in his card.
AccipENr.-The Baltimore Sun Of Yesterday
has the following notice Of an accident which oc-
Cured at the Little Falls ferry, above George
town, IN Thursday:
'As the ferfy-boat was crossing the "Little Falls
the jury-rope broke, and the boat drifted down
against rock, by which four valuable horses were
drowned, and the wagons to which they were at
tached, with their contents, now lay at the bottom
of the stream. The teams and cargoes belonged
to Mr.. Levi White, of Loudoun county, and Mr.
jackson, of Fairfax. No blame attaches to the
ferryman.''
HOUSE AND LOT, corner of G and 18th streets,
west of the Presidents House, was recently sold by
Mcclure, auctioneer, to H. P. C. Wilson, for
$500
The SwEDENBoRGIANs have erected house of
Divine worship on North Capitol street, near the
new railroad depot.
CRIMINAL CouRT.-The jury in the case of Ro-
setta Campbell, charged with stealing piece of
cloth from Mr.. Utermuhle, tailor, heretofore
mentioned,) returned verdict, on Thursday, of
guilty of petty larceny. Judge Crawford SEN
fenced the prisoner to one years imprisonment in
the county Jail.
On the same day, Wesley Grant was placed
upon trial for the murder of Sam. Davis. The
parties were both coored. In fracas between
them, near Georgetown, Grant, it appears, stabbed
Davis with knife, thereby causing his death.
The case occupied the attention of the court also
throughout yesterday, and was not concluded at
the adjournment.

been the delight of 80 many thousands of admiring
eyes in Washington, closes to-day, with exhibit.
