ORGAN GRIEDERs.--The monotony of our
village was enlivened last week, by the ad-
vent of an itinerant organist, who turned the
crank to the good old tunes of "Eucy Neal
"Old Dog Tray" "Pop Goes the Weasel, )"
ETC., to the infinite delight of the Juveniles.
Some folks profess TO have a contempt for
organ grinders and their music. True, they
they do net always discourse the latest and
most fashionable music, but they are an
"insttuton," nevertheless. The profession
al organ grinder is something more than an
ordinary human being, but in too many in
stances his efforts 10 please arGHot properly
appreciated. Watch him as he stops in front
of house to adjust "der mersh5cn." See
his calm and placid couutenance as he turns
the crank md deals out music Ly the guam
tty. He goes over the whole programme
before he asks for the "needIul." What a
nonCha!ent air he assumes " hen lie looks
around % see il his auditory have the pcnnirs
ready, Sometimes, Il 1hccoiIectjon exceeds
his expectations, he cntortains his patrons
by beginning agcin at No. /, and repeating
the whole series. For this he seldom makes
a collection. After canvassipg every street,
and making himself familiar with the nooks
and corners of the place, he takes his depar.
taro to other towns, and turns the crank day
after day with Tntiring energy. y "greai
institution" is the professional organ grinder.
Many consider him a rusOnce,--we regard
him as public beneinctor.

THE HEALTH oF Various
erroneous reports are in circulation in regard
to the health OF Ravenna, and we deem il
expodient to make statement of the facts.
1t is rumored both here and elsewhere, that
The Small Pox is prevailing in Ravenna, to
a dangerous eXtent-that somc persons have
died and that many others are lying very i'll.
All these rNmors are uatounded. There was
GndobtedIy one case OF Small Pox, in the
village, and in conse equence of the misiudg-
ment or imprudence of the attending physi
clan, the public were not informed Of the
fact, until several persons had called there
and had been exposed. But fortunately
every person SO calling had been vaccnnted
There has been one case of probable Vario-
Ioii IN both the foregoing instances, the
parties are now perfectly well, and there
are no new cases in the village, although
the time has gone by when these who were
exposed should have bee taken sick. We
are therefore, happy to inform our readers,
| that there is not now, so far as is known, a
single case of Small Pox in our village
there has not been death or dangerous
case of sickness accustomed by it. Raven
ia was never more healthy than at the pre-
sent time. The present eeasoh has been
unusually free from sickness and disorders
of any kind. r... !
We know there is apt TO be excitement
when the cry of "Small Pox" is heard, and
it is right that there should be. But the
fears which have been entertained in regard
to its existence here, need prevail no lon.
ger in the minds of the people.

And gazed at the living tide
OF vehicles down the middle,
And people up either side,
And saw a maid who was pumpkins"
In shawl of real Cashmere,

While her robe got caught in the rear.
Oh, the robe was of MORE antique,

But a skirt peep'd out below it,
And that was a coffee-bag.

Though now twas another thing;
For on it was "Fine old Java"
Unmarked in store backing.
And thought as she gained the sidewalk
And the "muslin" again was furPd,
How much those outskirts and in-skirts
Were like mans heart in the world;
How many Pharisee humbug
Plays lifelong game Of brag;
His words all silk and velvet,
And his heart but'a coffee-bag.
And turned me into the Astor,
For my heart was beginning to sink,
And told the tale to my brother,
And it rang him in for drink.
1t rang him in for cocktails,
And then to myself confessd
When thought how | came by the ardent,
That was us bad as the rest.

BRUTALTrY AT THE NoRrH.-Thc death
of Hon. L. S. Brooks, of South Carolina,
has given occasion for the most foul abuse
of his memory by the fanatcal press of the
North. Some say, "IIe has gone to his
account" while others subdue smirk when
they say, 1T is a judgment of God" and
still more say, Ills death might readily
have been predicted at no distant day"
For Boston, however, the ATHENS of
America it is reserved to cap the climax
of this brutality. The Atlas, of that city,
says:
The sudden death of Preston S. Brooks,
by one of the most virulent and painful
diseases that aff1ict humanity. can scarcely
fail TO impress the public as a signal instance
of Divine retribution for atrocious and
peculiar crime. A bold and arrogant man.
while yet Boosting fhis dastardly outrage
while yet staggering with the barbaric
honors showered upon him by brutalized
constituency-his lips still quivering with
threats against the friends and associates of
his victim-is seized 10y the throat by an
invisible and irresistible grasp, and strangled
to death. lie dies, says dispatch from
Washington, a horrid death, suffering
intensely, and endeavoring to tear his own
throat open to get breath.
1t is well that Preston Brooks died in his
bed-that he was struck down by Divine,
and not by human hands--that no son of
Massachusetts sulied the fair fame of our
State as peaceful and civilized community,
by taking upon himself to avenge her
wrong. Providence has dealt with him in
its own way and at It's own time.
