Then they loosed the fettered hanges
From the shackies of the brake.
Shri!land clear the whistle sounded,
Slowly Gu, the long train moves,
Stontly plays the shining pis,ons
Up and down the oily grooves.
Faster, faster. breathes the charger
Which no. time nor load can tirei
With his iron limbs and musclcs,
Aud his breath Of steam and hrei
Him With bsazen bands they've harnessed,
And have fastened to the car,
And bravely and ,riumphantly
He bears Nv now afsr
How his name of sable lilsckness,
With the ere sparks inseitwinsd,
As he ru>hes grandly onward,
Back is thrown along the wind.
Faster, faster, and yot faster,
Bounded on our iron steed:
Tramping wiki his tread of thunder
Over vail y, plain and mead;
Winding round the base OF mountains
Penetrating forest old;
While on either hand the landscape
Like picture was unroiied:
Sacing thus for miles unnumhered,
We outs'ripped tho tagging gale;
On and on, and on for hours,
Gathering down tho rafting ra'i.
Soon we reached the intersection.

Again away those trains went speeding
| Freighted with their load Of life,
| Onward TO their destinations,
| Bearing love, and hope, aud strite;
Hearts with grief and anguish laden,
Bosoms filled with dumb despair.
Loud-voiced mir,h and bright-eyed laughter
Sober thought and anxious care.
Such is life-a rapid journey ......s-
Thus 70 death wo hurry on,
Thus we meet and thus are sundered;
Come in haste in haste are gone
Thus our paths are intersscsing,
Thus we part to meet no more;
Speeding down diverging pathways
To Deaths dark and mystic shore.
None can lofter, none can tnrry;
Infancy and youth and age,
Ever restless. all are speeding
On this unknown pilgrimage!
Oh, may Virtue-sweet and holy,
Oh, may Fai,h--the gentle one,

forts and field Notifications, most of which
have been erected by the marvellous Indus

confguration of the soil. Thus Major
Biddulph observes, in his valuable remarks

We learn that Mayberry, who murdered
Dir. Alger, under such grossly aggravated
circumstances, On the road between Rock
ford and GAINESVILLE, Wis, and the account
OF which we published in the Democrat, had
been lynched by the Infatuated people at
GAINESVILLE, Wis on Thurs Jay last. 1t ap-
pears that Mayberry WAS tiicd and convicted
OF the crime at GAINESVILLE, the trial closing
on Thursday last, when the wretch was SEN
fenced to states prison for life, the death
penalty having been abolished in Visions n.
Upon the conclusion of tho trial, a large
number Of the friends Of Alger comprising
those who live in the vicinity of his place of
residence, and others, seized Mulberry, and
IN spite of the resistance of the officers, took
him from them, and carried him out in front
of the Court House, where rope was placed
around his neck. With this rope he was
partly dragged down the hill from the Court
House, the officers endeavoring to rescue
him. Finally, the people succeeded in carry
Ing him oft, and finding suitable place,
strung him up but finding that the rope was
not suitably adjusted, the knot being at the
back part OF the head, they took MIN down
alter be had been half stranglrd, adjusted
the moose, with the kno, under the ear, and
ran the unfortunate wreich up again, when
death soon released him from their hands.
The murder of Mr.. Alger was most

but from the accounts We have heard. the

the deed was equally atroeious The unfor-

We are no advocates of mob violence Of
any kind, and must regret that the people of
GAINESVILLE and vicinity have, for the FIRST
time, trampled upon the law of the State.
NO doubt the provocation was great, but it
must be acknowledged, Decentralization wreak-
ed upon the murderer was terrible. Nav
