MY NATIVE LAND.

u
America! thou art my home, 1 love thy
rocks and rills;
love thy dashing waterfalls, thy woods,
and vine crowned hills;
love the very sands upon thy hospita-
bic shore.
70 thee, oh, my native land, would
could love thee m,re.
True, other flowers may bloom as fair,
as those which here see,
And other birds may sing as sweet, as
those that sing for me-;
And other skies may be as blue, as
those meath which stand,
But none are half as dear to ME, my
own. my native land.
Here's freedoms holy temple, reared
by my fore-father's hand,
Its Lallowed influence now is felt, in ev-
cry other land.
To all those lands, with right good will,
I'll give friendly hand,
Bnt to thee; to thee, belongs my heart,
my own dear native land.

The Tragedy in Orange County, N. Y.

Acorrespondent Of the Newberg Gazette gives
the following statement of the facts attending
the death Of a man by The name OF Smith and
his wife, near that village:
"Mr. Weaver, The son.in- law OF Mr.. Smith,
was at the house on Saturday evening, between
7 and s o. lock. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were
then, apparently, both in their usual health,
and appeared pleasant and cheerful. Mrs.
Smith and the girl living with them, Of some
fifteen or sixteen years Of age, retired about
9lo'clock. This was the last that was seen
of either Mr.. or Mrs Smith alive, excepting
that Mr.. Smith went 10 the girls room aboutl2
o'clock. From The testimony of the girl ant
my knowledge of him, taken in connection
with his actions dur ng the few minutes he
was there, and his subsequently taking hi,
own life, | have no doubt of his mind beinl
deranged when he went there.
"On Sunday morning the girl arose about {
O'Clock, and on going down stairs found the
out side door open, and supposed Mr.. S. hat
gone out TO bring up the cows 10 be MIXED a
usual. Finding the door of their bedroom
shut, which was usually left open by hin
when he went out in the morning before thu
girl came down stairs, she opened it and spok,
to Mrs. Smith, who did not answer. She thel
went out TO the door 10 see Mr.. Smith, VII,
she expected would be coming byfthis tim,
with the cows, and not seeing him she wen
back and spoke to Ms. Smith again. Find
ding she did not answr, and that one OF he
feet, which was partly exposed, was cold
she becamed alarmed, and started for the son
in-law and Laughter, who lived but a few rod
of.
"Upon the arrival of the daughter she spok
TO her mother, and, not receiving any answer
she endeavored to arouse her, when, TO he
horror, she found that her mother was Dead
The son-in-law, finding that Mrs. Smith wa
dead, and that her husband had not notife
them Of the fact, proceeded 10 look for him.
After searching for some time: he found MI
Smith in an out-buildi ing, hanging by III
neck, evidently hung by his own act.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were respectively /
their fifty. nj and sixty fifth years, she be
ing the eldest. They undoubtedly lived har
PLY together, and were both exemplary mem
bers Of the church.
"The verdict OF the corne'er's jury wa,
that Mrs. Smith came to her death from som
cause, unknown 10 them; thatMI. Smith cam
TO death by his own act.
"Since the jury returned their verdict, an
at the request Of the members ofthe famil,
who were sent for and arrived last evening
DR.. Donel this morning made nm internal CT
animation OF the body Of Mrs. Smith, and eS
presses the decided opinion that she died M
tural death, the immediate cause of whic
was congestion of the heart"
