special Dispatch tothc n. Y. Tribune
BosroS, Nov. 3.--At least $4,000 people
participated in the Sumner demonstration to-
day. The procession Was very large and the
streets were full. The venerable Josiah
Quincy welcomed him at the Roxbury line ms
defender Of Freedom, who had suffered in
its cause. Mr.. Sumner replied that he had
only been true to Massachusetts principles.
and though he had suffered, his sufferings
were nothing to those of Kansas, and his
pain not like that whose wall came up from
the house Of bondage. The procession then
went to the State House where an immense
crowd were assembled. Mr.. Sumner was
introduced to Gov. Gardner by Prof. Hunt
ingtou. Gov. Gardner, in his welcome, as
sured him tina, Massachusetts had stood by her
Senator and would tomorrow. Mr.. Sumner
replied briefly, thanking his Excellency and
the spectators. particularly the young men.
Mr.. Sumner is very feeble, and was unable
to complete his speech at the State House.
The reception was most hearty and enthusi-
astic.

Az EXCELLENT PARopY.--The Hon. A. @.
Curtis, in recent speech at Harrisburg, got
of most excellent travesty. He said "that,
when the Cincinnati Platform was presented
to Buchanan officially at Wheatland, al
though unused to nursing, he took the bnnt-
ling awkwardly into his arms, and began to
sing to it,
Hush, my doar. lie stil aud slumber,
Pierce and Douglass guard thy bed,
Border Rucians, without number,
Gather round thy woolly head"
The applause was tremendous and long
continued. There was so much point and
genuine wit in it that it was sometime before
the speaker could proceed. Indeed We con-
slider it the best hit Of the season. Philadel-

ArIesinn Mcilx.

A valued friend of Davis County, in this
State, ask US the following questions:
/. Can an Artesian Well be obtained Sc
curely in this country?
2. What is the expense per foot, of 1000
feet?
3. Are there any parties in our State ma
king such wells?
4 Are they liable to get out of repair?
l.) In Vol. 8. of the Scientific American
there are series OF articles on the construe-
ton Of Artesan Wells, in one of which we
find the following: ''No water can be OBJ
tanned by boring unless in a basin where the
hydros,atic pressure is equal to the height Of
the elevated land forming the brim OF the
depression. To sink shaft at the out crop
ping of u basin is Whitewater nav be
reached in any quantity, but it will not be
forced up for want Of pressure; care, there
fore, must be exercised in examining every
locality before well is commenced, 10 sec II
the geological evidences warrant, not only
water, but an abundance Of pressure to throw
1t above the surface when reached"
e. Under ordinary circumstances parties
have offered 10 bore 600 feet for $500.
49, None that we know Of
al We believe that when properly con-
structed they are less liable to get out Of or
der than ordinary wells.
We refer our correspondent to the volume
Of the Scientific American referred to, If he
has any intention to make such we'll, for
much valuable information in regard to their
construction and the geological formation Of
the earth necessary 10 secure success. We
should be pleased to learn that our CORES
pendent or other parties can make such wells
successful IN our State. Ii Indications are
favorable in his vicinity, company should
be formed TO unite ip the expense.--I Iowa
farmer.

His eyes arc blue - vfDlsfs,

His hair is golden - The beans
That usher in tAe dawn,
And softer than the txssels are
That plume the growing corn;
His voice 10 sweeter to my ear
Than lutes or woodland streams
IL rings amid my cares by day
And echoes in my dreams.
He hAs hundred pretty ways
Which delight TO see;
Hove him next to Heaven and her
Who gave the child TO me;
And when he nestles to my heart
And calls me by my name
The only name he knows Tor me

But think that, having such gem
To wear upon my breast,
Conteutsd should be to leave
The chaplets for the rest.
Ny other darling's little life
In months il counted yet;
His eye is lustrous ~ star
And black ~ FURNISHED jet;
His hair is brown, like forest lsayes,
When Autumn's frosts Begin
Four teeth have hlossomsd in his mouth,
A dimple dents his chin;
His smilcis like the smile that plays
Upon acherub's face
He is chcrub, though he makes
Makes my home bis dwelling place.
No fear that W shall entertain
IAN angel unaware
That heavenly look upon his face,
That glory on his hair,
Remind NJ whence the darling came,
And bid a. not forget
That he who lent the child To US
Will come to claim him yet.

Its doubtful state goes for Fremont. All its
Northern Free States probable for Buchanan

certain for Buchanan, there is popular
Fremont majority Of over 10000. In oil it's

We write in view Of results as far as as
cersained at present; results about which
there is no substantial dispute, and which are
not likely to be materially varied, at leas, TO
our disadvantage, except as to Illinois, now
in doubt.

journalist whose leanings, predictions, in

"We do not govern them (thc people of the

ILLrNors.-~Illinois is now claimed by the
Black Democrats for Buchanan. Webelieye
IL is III error, as the claim is founded on a
majority of 1900 to $4,000, where two
years ago there were only triae over 200
votes in all. Bissell probably elected, at all
events, as he runs much ahead of Fremont.
