1--we read in The Courier de la
Drome very interesting story about a
woman who has excited much interest
at Valence. The name of the woman
is Hypsen,by birth Prussian, mother of
4 children, and the wife Of an infirm man.
Driven by necessity and starvation, she
disguised herself as man Under the
name of Michel. For five years she
worked hard as d navy" at the rail-
ways. Attired thus, she passed for a
young man Of about-two years, though
she was more than thirty years old.--
Her tellow-l aborers had always
observed the grea. solicitude with
which the young laborer watched
over her husband, whom she described
as her father, as also over her four chill
dren whom she passed off as her brothers
and sisters. 1t was observed that the
youngest of the children, whom she Sc
cretly sucked, was the object of her
particular care. Her general conduct also
was generally admired and her assiduous
industry was such as to induce the fore
man to raise her wages twenty five cen
times above those of the others. The
imposition was at last discovered, and
establishment soon gave way to admira-
ton, which, ere long, manifested itself
in sympathy and donations from all parts
of the neighborhood. She herself did
not think any thing of what she had
done in pure dictation Of her feelings
and when at last she alfred as became
her sex, all she was afraid of was the
Inconvenience Of the female dress in her
daily labor. However, work more
suited to her sex has since been am
ply provided for her.

Patch Grove, Feb. 27.
For the Grant County Herald.

At meeting of Democrats, held at
the village of Fairplay, in the Comfy of
Grant, and State of Wisconsin,, Februa-
ry 9th, 1853, JOHN NELSON was
called to the Chair, and THOMAS A. PAL
LETT was appointed Secretary.
The following Resolutions were adop-
ted:
Resolved, 1st, That in our opinion the
policy of the present Democratic Admin
istration in filling the different offices
throughout the country, should be to ap-
point its friends to every place, from the
highest to the lowest, and that to pur-
sue different course would be giving
ait and comfort to our ancient political
enemy the federal WING party; and is
calculated to overthrow the true princi-
plies of Democracy which we as Demo
Gratis have SO long fought for and cher
iShed.
Resolved, I'd, That in view of these
sentiments, the Office Of Postmaster a!
this place ought to be filled by true
and unwavering Democrat ; and that the
present incumbent, Mr.. A. WooD, ought
to be superseded.
Resolved, Sd, That we recommend tt
the Hon. Postmaster General, Mr.
THOMAS E. AvERIrE, of this place, as s
suitable person to fill the office. He i.
honest, faithful, and capable warm
hearted Democrat, and a true friend o
the Administration.
Resolved, 4th, That we will stand by
the present Administration, and will de-
fend il on all occasions from the assault:
% federalism and abolitionism, believing
that it will be true to the country, anc
will annihilate false friends, secret foes
and open enemies.
Resolved, 9th, That the proceeding.
of this meeting be published in the Gran
County Herald and the Miners Eaprest
at Dubuque.
The meeting then adj ourned.
JOHN NELSON, President.
THOMAS A. PALLET, Secretary.

BY COVER & GOLDSMITH
The Bachelors Song.

All things love and join in pairs
Lovingly the spring appears,
And caresses flower and plain,
There's gentle fond inciining
Round some ether to be twinffie.
Lives through Natures whole domain
In the young mans love arrayed,
VANDERBILT the longing maid.
Buried in her thrilling dream,
Offering love, while love she woetb.
Yieldeth she, but yet subdueth,
Loves, and is beloved again.
All that people heath and grove,
Or mid clouds or valleys rove,
Fit and flutter pair by pair !;
Fen the grapes, which singly wither,
Fondly lean themselves together,
And the trees their affairs are.
Simplest floweret on the green,
In another's drops seen,
Lovingly their glances hv;
There's a mate to every blossom,
Every weed takes to its bosom
Some beloved companion nigh.
Love sheds pleasure everywhere,
Lovo is breathed from the air,
As d bride the earth is dressed:
But aas wander lonely,
Till maiden, and one only,
Takes me to her lip and breast.

VINO OWNS THE ELEpHAsT.-Iti is to
be observed, from the speech of Gen.
Cass upon the Nebraska bill, that he
claims the glory thereof, and refers
to the Nicholson letter as the basis of
the BILL The relative position of the
two Senators, Cass and Douglas, reminds
lis of the two men who bought the ele-
plant in company. One said to the
other, "this elephant Of ours is eating
us up-I wish TO get rid of him. What
do you propose to do with your half?
Tn going to shoot nay half Detroit

aTThat the "world owes every one
living" is an impudent and mischiev-
ious fiction. The world only furnishes
us the tools by which we may carve out
our own fortunes. Our ''living' is the
reward which Nature confers upon us
for the labor we perform. This cove
nant she makes with each one of us as
soon as we come into the world. If we
fail in the fulfilment of our part of it,
what right have we to expect that she
will fulfil hers P Utica Herald.

To Farmers,

Neat be your farms its long confessed
The neatest farmer is the best.
Each bog and marsh industrious drain,
Nor let vile balks deform the plain,
Nor bushes on your headland grow,
Fer briars sloyen's culture show.
Neat be your barns, your houses neat,
Your doors be clean, your court yards sweet
No moss the sheltering roof enshroud,
No wooden panes the window cloud;
No filthy kennels foully flow,
Nor weeds with ranking poison grow;
But shades expand and fruit trees bloom,
And Towering shades exhale perfume;
With pales your gardnn circle round;
Defend, enrich, and clean the ground;
Prize high the pleasing, useful rood,
And fill with vegetable good.

J9The Mixture of Blood of differen

TIThe Mixture of Blood of different
races, produces some queer results in
the slave States. In NewOrleans, trial
for damages laid at $4,000 has been in
progress for some days. The plointiff,
who is the issue ofCreole, French or white
and Indian parents, was subjected to the
scandal of having negro blood in hi,
veins. An attempt was made to eject
members of his family from the public
schools in which they were employed,
and himself from the City Councils, of
which he was member. He brought
suit against the person who attempted
to impeach the purity of his blood, and
in the course of the trial showed his ORR
gin and various family connections
The fact of his being of Indian, and no
negro origin being proved, the jury gave
verdict in his favor, but would allow
no damages. The New Orleans papers
say, the trial was CT most painful
character to numerous, highly educa-
ted, ard every way respectable family
connection III that city.

FenniMore Correspondence.

FENNIMoRE, Feb. 81, 1854
Mr.. Editor have often wondered that you
did not have a Fennimore correspondent t, to
keep you posted up in the important matters,
that are transporting in our town. With re-
gard to the weather representations of on r
friend SHAW, it did not hit in this latitude, on
ly on the fourteenth, then he gave it center
shot, and | am inclined to think he will miss it
worse on the 30th; to my certain knowledge,
there has not been a storm on the 30th of Feb.
for the last 3S years. Our community, Xix e
many others, has been agitated with the Maine
Law question this winter, and SO warm have
some of our consequentials become, that the
ing arguments have been brought against tn e
law, tn at thought best to give them to you
for publication. The sEfarmer'' somewhere,
who wrote against the law in your paper before
the cleo ton, affirmed, Esthat the Maine Liquor
Law is unconstitutional, and aii.i-rcpublican. )"
The most powerful argument that ''farmer''
used was that it took private property for pub
lie use Wonderful! what use to the public
is Ii quor in the gutter, let us see that little
further: There is a book ped'er with load
of obscene books, calculated, to corrupt the
morals of our youths; he is selling them to
our sons and daughters what's to be done
why the law says take them and burn them
The somewhere Farmer would say it is uncon-
stitutional. Take another case here is man
guilty Of some crime say theft, or murder ;
he is running at large, community is in dan
ger; what is to be done? Why stop his
depredations as soon as possible; have him ta-
ken and the law executed by Imprisonment or
hanging. Private Property for Public use
with vengeance! Now, Mr.. Editor, | ask
you and your honest readers if the three cases
tare not similar? was not at the debate, but
with that powerful argument, got the case. ]
wonder who the Judges were? Rotten argu-
rnents in support of rotten case.
A FARMER HERE.
REMARKs.-It did storm though, about the
50th, being the only instance of storm at that
time during 50 years, SO our anonymous cor
respondent had better mind what ne is about,
or our friend SHAW will send him storm for
his particular benefit. Send your name along
with your next, and we will allow you to pass
over whatever signature you have mind to
adopt.

SUMMERS SPEEcH.-The speech of
Senator Summer, on the Nebraska bill,
is more finished, classical and eloquent
than any which has yet been spoken in
the U. S. Senate. 1t is in every respect
the equal of Seward and Chase's speech
es on the same question, and in research,
polish, bold utterance, and glowing sym
pat by with humanity the world over
surprising all. No wonder he was
interrupted by burst of applause from
the galleries, when he drew this truth
full picture of Northern Doughface
at is one of the melancholy tokens Of
the power of Slavery, under our politi-
cal system, and especially through the
operation of the National Government
that it loosens and destroys the charac-
ter of Northern men, even at distance
like the black magnetic mountain in
the Arabian story, under whose ire
sistible attraction the iron bolts, which
held together the strong timber of a
stately ship, were drawn out, till the
whole fell apart, and became disjoin-
ted wreck. Those principles which
constitute the individuality of the North
ern character, which render it staunch
strong and seaworthy, which bind it to-
gether as with iron, are drawn out, one
by one, like the bolts Of the Inflated
vessel, and from the miserable loosened
fragments is formed that human
anomaly-a Northern man with a
Southers principle.
Here the Senator was interrupted
by a burst of appluse from the galleries. !
